Who: Michael Guerin, Liz Ortecho, Dorian Pavus, Maria DeLuca
What: Drinks
Where: bar where Maria used to work
When: same night as this
Warnings: TBD
Status: closed to these folks, but multiple threads between them okay


Michael knew that he and Liz had a lot to discuss, though he wasn't planning to share everything he knew with her. They'd all agreed they weren't going to tell her about the pod they found since there was nothing any of them could do about it and she didn't need that pain. Nor did his dumbass brother need her getting the bright idea that Max could heal Rosa and pressuring him to do that.

Inviting Dorian was an impulse, one he may regret if any of them slipped about the whole alien thing in front of him, but Michael figured it was good to meet new people. Especially attractive new people. Though maybe it wouldn't be the smartest thing in the world to flirt with someone else in front of DeLuca. They hadn't made any promises to each other, he knew that she wasn't going to expect any, though he could acknowledge that picking up someone else in her presence was probably not a smart move.

When he arrived, he ordered a beer and found a small table that was close enough to the bar for Maria to be able to chat with them easily.

She had been meaning to get this drink with Michael for a while now but in true Liz Ortecho fashion, she got too caught up in her new job. Trying to be social with other people that aren't Michael and Maria was a thing that happened too. She couldn't always hang around those two, after all, because where did that leave her when they were rolling around in the sheets together? Alone. And you know what? Sometimes she didn't want to be aline.

Finally, they were meeting up for that drink. She wasn't sure why Michael decided to invite the mage they had been talking to but whatever. She would just chat it up with Maria if she started become too much of a third wheel to the two men. Walking in first, she spotted Michael at the table and headed over to him, sitting down by him.

She raised a hand to Maria to wave at her with a smile. "You know what I want" She said to her before she turned back to the curly haired cowboy. "Hey there"

"Liz."

Michael liked Liz a lot better now than he had when she first popped back up in their lives. To be fair, it wasn't really ever her that he disliked, it was the way his brother acted when it came to her. Which wasn't exactly Liz's fault. He actually enjoyed working with her on the cure for Isobel and wasn't opposed to having her run some tests to learn more about their alien physiology.

Still, he wasn't the most demonstrative person, emotionally or physically, so he gave her a mild greeting when she joined him at the table.

"You wanna start or me?" She asked, skipping over the small talk to get right to why they were both there as she waited for her drink. She wanted to get it all discussed before the third party member came up because then they would have to exnay on the alienay talk. She doubted Michael wanted the secret getting out to just anyone and they didn't know this guy as far as they could throw him. She certainly wasn't going to spill the beans to anyone. She already betrayed Max's trust by doing that once and it wasn't going to happen again.

Michael lifted his beer to his mouth. "Be my guest," he said. It would be easier for him to answer her questions than to just give her information. That way, he might be able to avoid some subjects rather than dancing around them or flat out lying. He hated lying.

"I found out Rosa is only my half sister" She told him, nodding as her drink was brought over. She noticed his hand and wanted to ask about it but she wanted to get the whole Rosa thing out of that way first. It was obvious what happened to his hand so he could wait. She took a nice long sip ten she set it down, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. "Noah told me first before he stabbed me then Kyle confirmed it when he was patching me up. She's his sister too. Our parents had an affair"

Well, that was unexpected. And probably a little weird considering that Liz and Valenti used to be a thing. "Damn, that's heavy," he said. "How the hell did Noah know that?" The dude was creepy as fuck though, so Michael supposed he shouldn't be all that surprised that he knew the secrets of people in town. It did explain a some why Kyle had gotten so involved with helping them figure out what was going on though.

"Tell me about it" She commented as she rested her arms on the table with a heavy sigh that went along with what he said. It was something she was still processing and probably always would be. It was not an easy thing to take in. "Rosa told him all of her secrets when he was using Isobel's body. She's the reason our ... my ... my mom left and never came back too" Her voice wavered ever so slightly with an upset tone as she mentioned her mom to him. It wasn't something she liked talking about these days.

"So Rosa knew?" He wondered how she'd known and why she hadn't told Liz about it back then. Michael swallowed hard and nodded when she mentioned her mother leaving. Obviously he felt for her situation, knew that being abandoned was painful, but it brought up unpleasant memories for him and he felt a flash of rage at all that had been taken from him. It also made him shudder to think about how Noah had violated Isobel.

She nodded her head as she took another sip of her drink. Knowing what talking about Rosa and the whole situation probably made Michael feel ( because you spend six weeks with a guy, you tend to get to know him pretty well ), she chose to leave it at that and move on as she put the glass back down. "When did he heal your hand?" She asked, her eyes going down to it before she looked back up at him. There was no question of who and how, only when. Maybe why but she would let him tell her that if he wanted to.

Michael glanced down at his hand, flexing it out of habit. Even though it was healed, he still occasionally felt like it was cramping up or tight. "After everything with Noah," he said. "Before he came to find you." Before they'd discovered Noah's terrible secret. "He just did it." And Michael was still a little bitter about that, though deep down he knew Max was right and they all needed to stop living in the past.

She took a moment to take it all in, entering it into the timeline of what she knew happened that night. So much went down that it was hard to take it all in. "He healed you without your consent?" She asked with a frown, reaching out to touch his hand. He didn't seem to happen about it so she had to guess that he didn't want it to happen. Why she wasn't sure because it wasn't her place to ask. Come to think of it, Max had also healed her without her consent but it was a different situation, as she had been dead and couldn't argue. "Are you doing alright with it? It must be so strange to have it back" She commented as she pulled her hand back.

It was strange, but not necessarily in a bad way. Michael would never say he was grateful for what Max did though he wasn't going to give his brother too much shit over it at this point. Well, except for trying to figure out how to explain it to people back home. "Yeah, I'm fine," he said, pulling his hand away when she reached to touch it. Even though it was healed, he still wasn't comfortable with that.

Maria was working tonight, but she wasn't at all surprised to see Michael come into the bar. In fact, she would have been more surprised if he hadn't. Sure, her feelings towards him were ridiculously complicated, which made her annoyed at him a lot of the time, but that didn't mean that she actually didn't like to have him around.

She raised her eyebrow and grinned slightly at him.

"What'll you have, Guerin?"

"Well, now, I suppose that depends on what you're offering, DeLuca," Michael said with a smirk. The fact that she was working wasn't going to keep him from flirting. He didn't really know what, if anything, he wanted to do about his feelings for her, and decided to go with it and have some fun for now.

He fully expected to get smacked for his comment, or at the very least an epic eyeroll, and was totally okay with either.

Smacking him, no matter how much she wanted to, wasn’t really possible since she was working at a bar that wasn’t hers. So for right now she was going to have to settle for that epic eye roll and long-suffering sigh he probably already expected.

“You can’t afford what I’m offering,” she teased back. “No, seriously. Ket’s See the money. This isn’t my bar and you’re paying up front. Your drinks aren’t coming out of my tips, Guerin.”

With a laugh, Michael pulled out his wallet and slapped a twenty down on the bar. "I'm wounded that you don't trust me," he said, mostly joking. Besides, it wasn't like she couldn't track him down easily enough if he tried to skip out on his tab. Or she could withhold sex. That would be effective.

Maria snatched up the money. “Just a beer? Or something stronger? Or we have some of those fancy new IPAs.” She teased. She knew very well that Michael was not the hipster sort. Thank God.

As she waited, she couldn’t help but watch him, and hate herself as he had his affect on her. It was crazy; she’d never been this weak around a man in her life.

Michael rolled his eyes at her teasing. "A beer is fine. Whatever's on tap. And cheap." He did not have anything remotely resembling expensive tastes, preferring a simple lifestyle. A lot of people thought he was lazy or lacked ambition when the truth was that he'd stayed in Roswell to look after his sister. He was used to that life now and was largely content with it.

"What else do we need to do to get your place up and running?" he asked.

She got him a pint of one of their house drafts, and leaned a little on the bar, thoughtfully.

"Well, the fridge isn't leaking anymore. Thanks for that. We've got all the booze carried in. Thanks for that, too. It's pretty much just get the bartenders scheduled and open now, I think."

She'd decided to open on Monday evening, which wouldn't be the busiest night by far, but it would give everyone a few days to get all the kinks figured out before it >got really busy. She gave him a long, somewhat hungry look.

"You could come to the bar Sunday night. Have a glass of wine with me and toast the opening."

"I could do that," he agreed, his lips twisting into a smirk at the thought that the invitation might be to do more than toast the opening. "Maybe we can christen the place too."

Michael picked up the glass and took a long drink.

“Undoubtedly,” she grinned. That had been on her mind too and there wasn’t really point in pretending that she didn’t want him. Badly. He had her there, even if he still did and always would drive her absolutely crazy.

She wiped off the car in front of him, then looked up at him again. She felt like she wanted to say something to tell him how much all his help had meant to her. He’d done a lot of work helping to get the place ready, and he really hadn’t had to.

But she couldn’t think of the right words, so she just went with the simplest.

“Thanks, Guerin,” she said softly. “For all your help.”

As far as Michael was concerned, she didn't need to thank him. It was in his best interests for her to have her own place in this weird ass city. Besides, he figured he owed her for all the crap he dumped on her since they got here.

"You can thank me with booze, DeLuca," he said. "I'm expecting not to have to pay, you know." He was teasing, wanting to lighten the moment.

"Hmm," she said, skeptically. "If I let you drink all you want, I won't have any profit and I'll starve to death on the streets." She raised an eyebrow at him.

"I'll give you a discount. As long as you behave and my bouncer doesn't have to throw you out."

"That sounds like a fair deal," Michael said. It wasn't like he went out looking for fights. They just sort of... happened. Because people were idiots.

He smirked at her. "I would never let you starve to death on the streets though."

He might long for the sights of home and Thedas, (even the jungles and forests!) but he missed the people most. Missing the Inquisitor and the others was the worst part of it all, but having new people to talk to was helping with that. Especially if they were pretty cute. Going to Pride with Klaus had been an eye opening experience and, even though the guilt so far was killing him, he was starting to settle a little. If he was trapped here, he could do a lot worse than this. He could be stuck in the fade or a strange set of ruins in the middle of nowhere with no one to talk to. How horrid for the peacock of the Inquisition.

The trip to the bar where he was supposed to meet up with the other two had been an interesting one, but he'd made it, eventually. In this place, he had no sense of direction, but he did get some attention. How could he not? Dorian didn't do anything less than fabulous, even if it was just an 'on the outside' type of thing. He might have been a little late but he got there in a time where it seemed to be busy but not enough that he couldn't find Michael. "Hello there, handsome stranger. I know absolutely nothing about the alcohol here."

"Beer's a good choice," Michael said, giving the man a brief once over. He was attractive and seemed interesting so far. Michael was curious to know more about the world he was from since it sounded like it was very different from this one.

He slid his glass over in front of Dorian. "Here, you can try mine. Don't worry, I don't have cooties." Were cooties a thing where he was from? Oh well, if they weren't, he'd try to explain the joke, though it wouldn't be quite as funny.

Beer? Maybe they did have alcohol in common. As the other slid his glass over, Dorian raised an eyebrow at him, a playful smirk on his lips. "I don't know what cooties are, but I suspect there is an interesting story behind them." Maybe he meant some sort of disease? He couldn't imagine getting something from this place. Even if he did, he was sure he could find a healer of some sort for it.

A quick sip was enough to tell him that it wasn't for him, but he played it off pretty well. "Interesting flavor. Do they have wine here?" A question he should have asked from the start.

Okay, so Dorian was not a beer fan. Michael chuckled. "Yeah, they have wine," he said. "I don't really know much about it." Isobel did, but his sister wasn't here unfortunately.

"And cooties are a kid thing," he explained. "Usually girls say that boys have them. Or vice versa." Michael shrugged since he hadn't exactly been a normal kid.

What would the difference be between wine here, and at home? It wasn't like Dorian was much of a snob when it came to wine, as long as it tasted good. Of course, that being said, most were a little more expensive when it came to his tastes but there had been that one time, before he met Alexius. After laughing at when Michael said about cooties, he shook his head, that smile twisting his lips a little. "Children can be rather odd. I remember the trouble I used to get into." An elegant shrug.

"I'll have to ask the lady at the bar about the wine. Be back soon." This wouldn't take all that long - or so he hoped. There had to be some words in common. The fact that they shared a language at all was interesting. Maybe 'common tongue' really was just that, no matter what world they were in.

Michael was pretty good at 'common tongue'. He drank more of his beer while Dorian went to talk to the bartender, watching Maria work. Her movements were graceful while still being efficient. She always seemed to have a smile on her face as she interacted with the customers, unless someone was a jerk, and then he enjoyed watching her eviscerate them with her words.

When Dorian returned, he offered the man a smile. "Find something good?"
