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.

"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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

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?"
