Who: Slevin Kelevra and Eric Draven.
What: Vigilantes having a beer together.
When: Tonight.
Where: Random bar in NYC.
Warnings: Swearing, but otherwise no.

Slevin went to the bar after getting his shoes and wallet. He really could use a beer or ten, and getting out of Miami was something he looked forward to more than anything. Besides, the guy from the boards was interesting, and he could always use more friends. Well. More friend. He didn't really have many at all.

He showed up in pretty fast time, adjusting his jacket a bit as he waited outside.

	Eric arrived at about the same time, but not street side. He dropped down in front of the bar, not expecting at all to come face to face with Slevin the moment he stood up. "You are prompt," he said, eyebrows raised. He cut a weird figure even for a New York night, makeup, trench coat and all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Slevin cocked his head to the side and smiled. "Of course. One of the first things I was taught. The guy who raised me is a consummate businessman, so I was always taught to be on time." He shrugged. Eric's dress didn't really bother Slevin. He'd lived in New York a long time, he'd seen worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What kind of businessman?" he asked, smiling slightly as he headed for the door to the bar. "The mafia is made up of businessmen, as are corporations. Even the devil is a businessman, when it comes down to it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Think I need a couple beers before we get into that," Slevin chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. "I'm still not used to being so candid about my life, so I'll need alcohol to lubricate the gears of that train." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"An interesting image," he mused, walking in. The place was mostly deserted, which suited him just fine. He took a seat at the bar. "What will you be having?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Eh, whatever's on tap. I'm not picky." Slevin sat down next to him. "So, Eric. I'm guessing you're not a stockbroker." His humor wasn't exactly good, but it was an attempt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nor a businessman," he said, smiling. "No. And I don't think 'Dead Man' qualifies as an occupation. What about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, but it's certainly interesting." Slevin waited until he'd taken a sip of beer to chuckle and shrug. "Vigilante without a cause." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm a vigilante with a cause," he said. "Unfortunately, the cause is not here. What was yours, formerly?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, the other guy was being really upfront. Why not him? "My family was killed by the mob when I was twelve. I was supposed to die too, but the guy they paid to kill me couldn't cap a kid, so he raised me." He shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A hitman with a heart of gold," he mused quietly, staring across the bar as he thought. He hadn't ordered anything for himself--not to be the spooky dead guy, but simply because he wasn't in the mood to drink. "And told you exactly who was responsible, I assume."

	Slevin chuckled. "They didn't cover their tracks very well, so I would've found out anyway, but yeah. Spent my whole life training and plotting and scheming." He shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Spend your whole life on one thing and everything after that is bound to be a letdown," he sympathized. "I get it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Exactly. I'm thirty, and I've been training for this since I was thirteen. I did it, I fell in love, she's there, I'm here." He took a long drink of his beer and sighed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You never know," he said, looking over at him. "Maybe she'll magically appear, like so many have been wont to do. There is always that chance." He nodded to the bartender. "Until then, though, more drinks are in order." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrong_guy 2008-09-02 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	Slevin chuckled and got another beer, turning to look at Eric when the bartender had gone. "What about your lady? Where's she?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Milton was surprisingly cheery, really. She didn't come back, like you?" Slevin's voice was hushed, almost reverent. He knew pain, sure, but Eric knewit in a whole other category. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hangmans_joke 2008-09-02 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	He shook his head. "I used to wonder why. At this point, I don't feel it's worth thinking about. I came back, she didn't. Maybe because she was less angry and more saddened by it all. I don't know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Slevin sighed and looked at his hands. "For what it's worth? I hope you get to see her soon. In some way." (Reply to this) (Parent)
