What: Hangin' out. Sorta.
Where: Snake Pit bar, New Orleans
When: Monday eveningish
Why: Just 'cos
Warnings: not likely, but if any come up I'll update.

Maison had said he'd come by, and it was easy enough to find the place, mostly thanks to the neon sign, since the door was nigh on invisible, sandwiched between two storefronts. His brows arched at the expanse of the place once he was downstairs, grin spreading after a moment, glad that it was slow enough that he could make a circuit of the tanks before padding over to the bar and swinging himself up into a seat.

"Be right with you." Henn said over the noise of the blender, smiling up at him.

Soren, for his part, was busy dancing, his eyes closed and head back. He wondered if Sami had gotten the pole installed specifically for him, but it didn't really matter. He gripped it loosely, spinning around it more gracefully than most people expected of him. Once the song had ended, his pockets were filled with more money than they had been, and he wandered back to the bar. He blinked when he saw his friend there, and idly wished he had on a shirt.

"Hey, you came!"

	Well she'd had it installed during the remodel that was going on when he'd taken the job, so, maybe. Maison grinned, brow arching, just slightly, "Said I would. What? You weren't expecting me to?" He'd had his hair tied back earlier in the day, but it had since escaped and he'd given up on trying to wrangle it again. (Reply to this)

"I half figured you wouldn't find the place." Soren shrugged and smiled, tucking his own sweatdamp hair behind his ears. "Can I get you a drink or anything? We have boozedrinks, of course, but we have a lot of stuff you wouldn't expect." He got himself a Coke, tipping the glass to the side and putting ice in from his fingertips first, then adding the beverage. "Step-wife over there handles the booze, though. I can't mix drinks at all."

	"Wouldn't have found it if it was daylight." He said, shrugging, "But there's a sign." Henn had finished with her other customer, sliding her way over and giving Soren a hip-bump, "Soooo, you must be Maison." Maison's brow arched at that, still smiling however, "Ah, I see my reputation precedes me, not sure what to think about that." (Reply to this)

	"There is a sign. A bright, terrible sign that keeps me awake when I try to take naps in the booths." The chuckled and then grinned when Henn hip-bumped him. He goosed her and kissed her lightly on the cheek in return, then turned to grin at Maison. "You're a cute kid with a red streak and fire powers." He beeped him on the nose with a tiny fire spell, grinning. (Reply to this)

"Oh, well that's fair." He said with a shrug, still smiling crookedly. He caught the flame, dancing it across his fingertips before putting it out with a brisk rub.

Henn arched a brow at this, nodding, "So, like he said, what could we getcha?"

He shrugged again, just leaning comfortably against the bar, "You're the one who makes them, what's your specialty?"

Henn's smile went crooked at that, almost devious, "Sit tight, I'll be right back."

Soren facepalmed a little then went back to his own drink. "You asked for it, you know. So when you're looking for someone to blame in a few minutes? Totally all you." He chugged his drink, almost wincing when he heard music starting up again. "That woman wants me dehydrated, I swear." He set the glass back down and shrugged, walking back out toward the pole. "Be back in a second."

	Maison's smile was crooked again, "I think I can handle it." Somehow he managed to miss Henn's chortle, mostly because she passed it off as a response to Soren's statement, ruffling his hair before goosing him and giving him a nudge on his way, setting Maison's drink down, "Jumping pitviper. Enjoy." (Reply to this)

It was typical bump and grind dancing, a usual shimmy and swivel around the pole, but somehow the way Soren managed to look bored and unaffected by his own attractiveness only served to make him moreso. He collected more tips, arching his back and tossing his hair in a wide arc. He managed to keep one eye on the bar as he worked, hoping Henn wasn't abusing his new friend too horribly.

	Henn was being on her good manners, mildly surprised that Maison actually could handle the drink. Though he did finally explain his secret, that due to the higher body temperature most alcohol evaporated before he'd actually swallowed it completely. It amused him, a little, that they were both keeping half an eye on Soren even while they talked. (Reply to this)

	Once the song was over, Soren went back to the bar, grabbing a glass and filling it with ice and then water, totally not caring if anyone noticed. He was thirsty. Once he drained it, he leaned back again, creating his own tiny fan from his fingertips and setting it through his hair. "Did she get a haircut and did I not notice?" (Reply to this)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-27 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Maison and Henn both asked: "Who?" And then snickered. Maison shook his head, smiling crookedly once more, and Henn just grinned, shrugging, "You sure do know how to pick 'em Soren." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-04-27 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"Whoever keeps queuing up the music, duh." Soren shook his head and focused the wind spell on his face, sighing contentedly. "And of course I do, Henn, duh. Or did you forget I'm married to both of your spouses?" He stuck his tongue out at her before giggling. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-04-27 01:57 am UTC (link)
	Henn laughed, reaching over to ruffle Soren's hair once more, twisting it up off his neck, "My husband and my fiancee, me and Sable aren't official yet, just seems like it." Maison grinned again, shaking his head, "You know, that really should sound weird to me, but it doesn't." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-04-27 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Soren cooed and butted into her hand when he moved his hair. "And yes, I'm just your boy on the side, the convenient pretty that keeps you warm sometimes. I get it." He sighed melodramatically, letting his eyes tear up and spill over. He figured Maison would know he wasn't really upset. "It doesn't? It still sounds weird to me, honestly. Good, but weird." (Reply to this)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-27 02:03 am UTC (link)
	Maison was trying not to laugh, really, he shrugged, "Okay, so it sounds weird, but not in a bad way. I mean... okay, so the big-L Libraries tend to have apartments. The Branch I was at before I got transferred out to DC was run by a pair of Lamia. We didn't have apartments, we had a nest." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-04-27 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"You should meet Bosslady, you'd feel right at home." He smiled and turned his fingers - and the spell - toward Maison, blowing back the other man's hair. "We pretty much have a nest at our place, though. It's nice." He smiled and shrugged. (Reply to this)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-27 02:12 am UTC (link)
	He nosewrinkled at the breeze, just a little, though he was still smiling, "I bet I would." Henn ruffled Soren's hair once more, slipping away to go help her customer again. Maison took another sip of his drink, "She almost caught me off-guard with this thing." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-04-27 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"She does that with a lot of things. You get used to it." Soren smiled fondly in her direction before pouring himself and Maison sodas each. He frosted their glasses a little, mostly because he could, and it made the glasses pretty. (Reply to this)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-27 02:16 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged, "I've got a bulit-in cheat code when it comes to alcohol though, on account of having a higher body temp than most people." He smiled again, brow arching, "So is it like, a hobby of hers? Or just a habit?" (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-04-27 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"Mmm, I forgot about that." He reached out to touch the other man's hand, blinking. "Jesus, you're not kidding." He took his hand away and put it on his Coke so he could drink. "Is what a hobby for her, being Henn? I imagine she was born that way. Part of having incubus genes, I guess." (Reply to this)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-27 11:06 am UTC (link)
	"Whoa, seriously?" He watched Henn for a moment, just studying the way she interacted with the other customers, the way she moved, finally he shook his head, smiling crookedly and sweeping a hand through his hair, "Should've figured that one out." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-04-27 11:37 am UTC (link)
	"Not a lot of them, but enough where it counts. She's more Shadow than anything else.". He smiled and shrugged, sipping his Coke. "Henn is precious.". He tugged the red streak in Maison's hair, gentle, and smirked. (Reply to this)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-27 11:46 am UTC (link)
	His brow furrowed, "Shadow like... a Daeva?" He looked more than a little concerned by this possibility, "Didn't know they could, y'know." He shook his head, "Damn I wish I had access to an Index." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-04-27 12:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, no, nothing that mean. Have her explain it, she does it better than I do. Then you can stare at her rack more.". Soren smirked as he took a test of drinks over to a table of giggling twenty-somethings. (Reply to this)
