Who: Aramis and Belle
What: Getting drunk!
Where: Aramis' place
When: Friday
Warnings: Who knows

After Belle had agreed to come over, Aramis had rummaged around to find proper alcohol. Finding a bottle of scotch, he set it and a couple shot glasses on the coffee table in the living room. With that done, he went to wait outside for Belle to arrive, keeping a look out for a tall, strapping young man instead of a slight, pretty woman like he was used to.

	"Huh. Maybe the body you took over belonged t' someone who spoke English primarily?" He shrugged. "That is kinda weird, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It is, isn't it? I have to think about speaking French and make the effort to do it now." He sighed a little. "Very strange but...oh well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. At least you still remember it." Now that he wasn't focused on his own misfortune, Belle was relaxing in earnest. "Be terrible t' suddenly speak a whole new language for no good reason." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, especially because I rather fancied French. But I guess I would have had to learn eventually, no? Better to be here already knowing than have to actually learn it." Aramis pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"That's true. Though if you weren't about t' marry a man who runs a tourist attraction, there'd be no real reason for you t' learn." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	"There is that. I'm just glad I do, now. Though sometimes I pretend I don't to get the tourists to leave me alone." Aramis winked, grinning. "Nothing like a disgruntled Frenchman to scare them off." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	He snickered. "Nothing like pretending to be a French snob t' make rich men fall all over you, too. Ah, the French, truly pioneers in the 'snotty, but sexy' category." He giggled, which sounded odd, even to his own ears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Amen to that!" That got a laugh out of Aramis who grinned brightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	He laughed and shook his head. "Didn't figure you'd disagree." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Perhaps I shouldn't make fun of myself and my country but really...sometimes you can't help it. We don't exactly clear our names." Aramis commented. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"No, sadly. Though I'll be one of the first t' call Americans stupid and stubborn as well." He believes himself to be both of these things, so it makes it easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-09 04:31 am UTC (link)
	"Well, that's because they are." He teased, grinning slightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 04:34 am UTC (link)
	"Shhhh." He said, his expression serious. "If you say anything worse I have t' report you t' the American Ass-Kickin' Agency, and they'll try t' topple the fascist French Government." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-09 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"The American Ass-Kickin' Agency?" Aramis seemed to actually take the other man seriously. Hey, he didn't know what the state of other countries after all. "Really?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 04:39 am UTC (link)
	He laughed. "Almost, but no. It doesn't exist, unless you go t' the more backwater areas. And then it's more like the American Drink and Curse the Damn Foreigners Agency." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-09 05:06 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, good." He seemed relieved, smiling sheepishly. "And they don't sound very friendly at all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 05:10 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. "They're by an large more ignorant than your run of the mill garden slug. Fun t' fuck with though. Once got in a fight with a bunch of 'em in Missouri, 'cause I have a weird accent and they thought I was mockin' 'em." He took a drink. "Which I wasn't, until they got their ass kicked by a fifteen year old girl." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-09 05:31 am UTC (link)
	"15 years old and you kicked their asses? I'm impressed." Aramis murmured, nodding a little. "I think, my dear, you would have made a good musketeer, even as a woman." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 05:33 am UTC (link)
	She laughed. "Funnily enough, I've heard somethin' similar t' that a couple times. But I'd have made a terrible musketeer. I'm no hero, I'm just a well trained bitch." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-09 05:35 am UTC (link)
	"You didn't have to be a hero to be a musketeer." He stated gently, glancing up at the ceiling. "You just have to be willing to protect. Nothing more, nothing less." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 05:37 am UTC (link)
	"I'm better at the other thing." He noted softly. "Not so much at keepin' people alive." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-09 05:44 am UTC (link)
	"Well. Believe me, as a musketeer...you got a lot of killing in." He murmured softly, sighing. "But I can see your point." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 05:47 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged. "It is what it is. I think, were I back in your time, we might have been at odds." There had been many contracts, from the English, on the French king back in the day. Especially when France had thrown in with America. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You would have been an amazing opponent." Aramis complimented, nodding. "It would have been an honor to fight you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 05:55 am UTC (link)
	He smiled. "It would indeed. But I much prefer the honor of bein' your friend." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
