Re: Headed TO THE BAR (Vanessa, Idris, open)
Victor blinked at Idris' comments. He could feel the slow tingle of aggravation tickle at the base of his spine. It took him slightly by surprise, as he hadn't had a drop to drink as of yet, and usually was a pretty level headed guy.
But this guy... This guy was something else. Victor wasn't sure what it was, exactly, but something about this Idris' smile was just... off-putting. Wrong, even.
Still, he shrugged his shoulders, meeting the other man's gaze with a look that might not be taken completely in jest either. He picked up his shot. No need to get nasty. There had to be something redeeming about this man, or else maybe he had read Vanessa wrong from the start. But she seemed... trustworthy to Victor. Even as she licked the man's hand. Maybe they had already had quite a lot to drink.
Victor threw his shot back, sans salt or lime before waving to the bartender for another round. He looked at Idris, something in his stomach twisting a little. Like the feeling one gets when they are slowly creeping up the rails of a roller coaster ride. You know the drop is coming. For better or for worse. It was... oddly exciting. "Well, looks like I have some catching up to do before I'm at your level. Please, another toast. I liked your last one very much."
