Who: Skwisgaar (Elder) and Lulu
What: Coffee
Where: Venice Beach
When: About now.
Warnings: General sleazy rock star warning.

It was hard not to notice the 6'4" middle aged man sprawled across one of the three sofas in the little cafe just off Venice Beach. He had a large mug of latte on the table nearby, a cigarette between his lips (Smoking ban be damned!) and a guitar across his chest. He was playing some sort of allegro, though allegro would be considered slow compared to what he was doing just then. His dyed black hair was in his face as he played, spilling over his shoulders and over his eyes. But his tattoos were prominent enough to give away just who he was, if the rest didn't.
This was his version of waiting patiently.

Pickles smirked and waved as he decided to leave the two alone after getting his drink. Skwisgaar sprawled on the couch, keeping his head propped up with one arm. "Hn, ja, dats is de ways of a woman, though. Dey is prefers to has emotionals attachments to a sex, and de males way is to lets de physical justs be de physicals. Is de ways of human natures. Mens is still just animals, livings in de pure animalistics ways of de mind. To eats, an' to fucks and to be de alphas males. Dat's is whats all men is likes, underneaths." He sipped his own drink, a frozen something-or-another that smelled faintly of cinnamon.
"You is probably hears on de expressions dat mens is likes dogs. I prefers to sees on it dat we is wolves. Dogs is tame. Dogs is knows betters from rights and wrongs."

"Wolves are loyal mates," Lulu mused, leaning back and sipping her own drink. She closed her eyes and sighed, thinking about Chappu for half of a second before giggling.

"You know who would have loved you? Loved talking to you? My ... ex-fiance, I guess you'd call him." She took another sip of her drink, feeling very young and vulnerable for a split second before turning to look down at Skwisgaar. "So you've never been in love?"

	Skwisgaar still had issues when it came to the word 'love', but had been beaten over the head with it after 15 years of avoiding the word by hearing it come from Toki and Stephanie, and afterwards from his nieces. "Ja. Once." He said, "I still is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That made Lulu smile. "With him?" She let her head rest on the side of the couch and closed her eyes. "That never leaves, you know. Even if they do. I've been in love with Chappu since I was four, and I saw him die. And even if I fall in love with someone else here, Chappu'll always be in the back of my mind, telling me I don't smile enough."

She poked Skwisgarr in the shoulder with a foot, smiling. "We shouldn't talk about this, word will get out I've made you soft."

He didn't mind. It took a lot to ruffle Skwisgaar these days. He shrugged and sipped his drink. "Toki. I hates him, too, though. I is... gets on dat a lots, too. He is always tells me to cheers up when I is prafectsly cheeries enough? But is his way. He is... vury happy sorts of guy. You knows on a dudes like dat? Vury energies, gots a lot to does and says abouts things, hards to keeps on track? Dats is Toki. But always a smiles." Okay, even he knew that Toki wasn't all smiles and bubblegum. But he often was more lighthearted than Skwisgaar could ever try to be, and always had amazingly bright ideas that came out of seemingly nowhere. Skwisgaar was sure that the rhythm guitarist was smarter than he ever let on.

"Dat sorts of thing grows on you." He said, fondly recalling it. "Ands I gots no doubts dat he is will be backs. He is never goes somewheres and nots returns after leavings. Is nots likes him to just goes off?"

"I know someone like that, yes. He was in love with my little sister." She didn't bother to mention that Yuna wasn't really her younger sister, but it sounded well enough like Tidus.

She squeezed Skwisgaar's hand. "I hope he comes back too, so I can meet him. People like that are... they're a blessing." She stood up and stretched, looking back down at him. "Now show me around, because I can't stand seeing you thinking. It's odd."

"Is I thinkings? Ugh, bads habits. I is tries to quits it befores." He said, standing as well. "Likes bitings nails." Which was something he quite obviously wasn't in the habit of doing, from the looks of his perfectly manicured set. He finished off his drink and set the glass down, slipping his hands in his pockets. "Hokay well, dis is de mainsroom. De books is Miniver's, I don'ts reads. Minivers is Pickle's pet dude. He is a vury strange sorts of guy. I... don'ts wants to talks abouts dat, movings on." He pointed up to the ceiling, where there were guitars glued up there. "A friends of Minivers comes here and does this. I don'ts remembers on his names. Uh... Jeckyls or somethings, I forgots on dat. Is pretty metal." He walked off towards the large main hallway, which had a double staircase leading up to the bedrooms, and turned right after that. "Overs here is de kitchens and de recordings studios, downstairs is justs dats way, and we is gots a patio decks straights aheads."

Lulu tried not to laugh and succeeded. She followed him around with some interest, mostly wanting to go back and look through the books, but guitars glued to the ceiling was fairly interesting as well.

She walked through the doors he'd indicated would lead to the patio, smiling and nodding at the view. "I'm glad I didn't give into you, you know. We wouldn't be friends if you'd had your way with me."

Skwisgaar followed quietly and shrugged. "I disagrees." There were plenty of people he considered friends that he'd had sex with. There were only two, just then, that he hadn't, in fact.

"Sex only changes de facts dat you has seens on each others nakeds and has had more funs with dat persons den if you hasn't hads a sex with dems." He leaned against the parapet, looking down at the small moat that had been dug out around the mansion.
"In a few cases, I has finds dat it even makes things betters, puts trusts intos a person dat you didn'ts has befores."

	"If you'd met me sooner, I might have taken you up on it, but now." She sighed, letting the sentence end prematurely. "I've got a crush on someone else, and it would just feel... I don't know. Wrong." She idly cast some water spells on the moat, making waves of various sizes. "At any rate, I'm glad we're friends. And Pickles is sweet too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don'ts usuallies meets on a lady dats says no. I hopes dat you is can respects dat." He said, smiling just a tad wryly. "Is... vury differents. I don'ts gets upsets abouts it too much." It took him a couple years before Stephanie finally dragged him off to have fun one very drunken, very surprising night. And that wound up being one of the best nights ever, in the long run, for reasons other than the sex itself.

He looked to Lulu after watching the waves, "P'fft, Pickle. He is only nice aforcause he is a stoneds alla times."

"Well, if this ends up not working out, you'll be the first person I come to for consolation." She patted him on the hand, biting her lip. She didn't even know what she'd meant by "this" and she chuckled at herself. "Ugh, I sound like a lovestruck child."

When he said that Pickles was always stoned, Lulu laughed. "I'm going on a trip with someone like that, apparently, though I doubt I'll be gone too long."

	Skwisgaar's brow raised just slightly at that, "I... really don'ts does on the consolings vury well." But then it clicked and the sly, seductive smile crossed his lips once more. "Oh. I sees." He looked at her with a raised brow, "Dat so? I can tells on you rights nows? Dey is has vury good tastes in food, and horribles tastes in movies." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She laughed, and could almost see the proverbial wheels turning in his head. "Yes, you see." She laughed a little, poking him in the shoulder. "You're not a half bad kisser."

When he gave her advice about stoners, she nodded. "I'll keep it in mind. I don't know how long I'll be gone - we don't know each other that well, and he's got a woman with him that he claims to be friends with, but I don't know." She shrugged. "And I don't know what movies I like yet, maybe I'll like the films they do?"

"I knows." Skwisgaar stated with a smug smile.

"Oh, don'ts worries on dat. At leasts you won'ts gets hits on alla times if he is gots another ladies to keeps him occupies." Then, he turned to lean back against the wall instead. "Whats kinds of stories does you likes to listens on or reads? I is a fans of movies dats is horrors, or you knows, dramas. Intense stuffs." He would have named a few, but knew they'd be lost on her. "If you ever has a more times, I coulds sets up a movies downstairs and we could watch on dats." Downstairs was a rec room, with a full bar, hot tub, and home entertainment system that was state of the art, with the best sound possible.
"We coulds watch on Alien." His all time favorite movie.

"Of course you do." She laughed at his arrogance a bit, because on most men it would've been annoying and yet somehow he made it cute.

She started to move back toward the inside of the house, trying to think what she'd like. "I don't even know - there wasn't time for any of that before." It sounded horribly dreary when he thought about her past, but she'd really only had her duty. "I'd like that, watching movies." She squeezed his hand again before going to settle back in front of the fire.

He slid into a sprawl beside her and looked up at her with a smirk, "Dats brutal. I knows how dat is though." He nodded to one of the several guitars that lined the place, "I is only ever practice on guitars for many, many years. No times for anythings else." If she hadn't noticed yet, his fingers never stilled. They were always twitching out phantom chords, or tapping out rhythmic cadences that, if he had a guitar in his hands, would be beautiful, airy solos. "But you learns to fits in dat sorts of things with what you normally does, after a whiles."

	"Trying to save the world didn't really leave time for many hobbies, no." She stretched her legs out in front of her. "Mmm, I wish I had a fireplace." Lulu liked being warm more than any other feeling in the world, and she was feeling quite warm just then. "I should go before I ask if I can come over all the time and just lay in front of your fireplace." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Skwisgaar let out a huff of a chuckle, "You won'ts gets an argues from none of us, maybe acepts for Miniver." He sat up then, "I will walks you to de doors, if you feels you gots to goes. I has a good times with you today. You can comes over whenever you is wantings." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have to work, I'm sorry." She gave him a hug, pecking him on the cheek before letting go so he could walk her to the door; she likely would have gotten lost on her own. "I'll take you up on that - I'll have to get my clothes back once they're dry." She would hail a taxi and go to work straight from there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He hugged her back, in a more-than-friends sort of way (Though if he had known any other way to hug, he'd forgotten how). Smiling, he led her to the door. "Den I sees on you soon. Has fun on dat trip sorts of things." Once she was gone, he went to go find his younger self. Pent up urges never boded well for him. (Reply to this) (Parent)
