Who: Dani Winchester and Neal Caffrey.
What: Booze.
When: Thursday afternoon.
Where: Neal's place.
Warnings: Dani has a pottymouth, references to deaths that their friends have gone through. Nothing sexy, though.

Dani and Neal had mentioned a while ago that they wanted to drink and get to know each other. She knew that BB had to rehearse a whole new act - one of the other girls had found out she was pregnant and quit all of a sudden - so she'd be out most of the day. It struck her as a good time, so she packed a bottle of Bushmills and a sixer of Guinness into her purse (this was why God had made large purses, obviously) and soon was ringing the door to the Caffrey residence. She knew she'd tower over Neal in her four inch heels, but whatever; she'd just come from work, so she was in a conservative houndstooth sheath dress and her labcoat.

Neal heard the bell and called out. "Coming!" He was wearing a battered pair of khakis and an undershirt streaked with paint; he'd been working on a new piece. BB had liked when he painted legitimate stuff, and he kind of liked that.

He opened the door and blinked. "Dani? Hi." Neal beckoned her inside. "Come in, though if you're looking for BB, she's not here. She won't be back til late."

	"Oh, I know, I came to see you." She smiled and looked down at him, amused that she could, and ruffled his hair. "Painting, hmm? Something for Beebs? Or something to sell? You could, you know." She toed out of her shoes and took the booze out of her purse. "Got glasses?" (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-02 05:36 am UTC (link)
	"Me?" Neal echoed, but he didn't question it. "I was just painting, sort of to see what I get. Though BB's told me I should sell stuff, too." When she held up the booze, he did smile. "I have whisky glasses, yeah. Come on into the kitchen." (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-02 05:42 am UTC (link)
	"I'd buy one of your paintings, you're brilliant. And don't need whisky glasses, need pint glasses, shot glasses, and matches." She walked with him, smiling as she shed her lab coat and let her hair down. Groaning, she shook out her hair. "Bobby pins were invented by Satan, did you know that?" (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-02 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Neal made up his mind to paint something small for Dani, but when she asked for pint and shot glasses, he just got confused. "Why don't you come over here to the bar." He led her toward the liquor cabinet, pointing her toward the glasses on the bottom shelves. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-02 05:58 am UTC (link)
	She grinned, moving toward it and whipping out the glasses with ease. "BB tells me you didn't go to uni, which means you missed nothing but hangovers. It's my job to give you the experience!" She popped the top of two bottles of Guinness with a ring she wore on her right hand. (Reply to this)

	Neal blinked, laughing. "Oh, jeez. Well, I don't work tomorrow, so I can drink a little." He never liked to get too drunk; it made him nervous when he lost control. Still. A little wouldn't kill him. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-02 06:17 am UTC (link)
	She smiled and shrugged. "You're not going anywhere, nothing super important is going on. You should relax more often, it's good for you." Using both hands at the same time she poured them each a pint before carefully pouring them each a shot of whisky. "So, I'm going to light this on fire, drop it in your pint, then you chug it." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-02 06:38 am UTC (link)
	Neal blinked. "On fire?" Who lit good whiskey on fire? It didn't seem to make sense. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-02 06:48 am UTC (link)
	"I think it's so you'll drink it faster and so it'll take less booze to get pissed. Search me, I didn't really ask, I just used my breasts to get free drinks." She pushed his pint closer to him before lighting their shots on fire. "On three, drop and chug. Don't let me down, now." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-02 07:00 am UTC (link)
	"All right." It was insane, but why not. Neal took a deep breath and on three, dropped the glass. He tried to chug the whisky and managed to get most of it. It was a good whisky, too. At least he got it without coughing. Dani would have never let him hear the end of it. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-02 07:06 am UTC (link)
	Dani chugged hers like a pro, mostly because she'd had practice but partly because she was a Winchester. Smiling when she finished, she nodded at him. "That was good for your first go. Do you take yours on the rocks or straight?" She went to wash her pint glass, taking his as well. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-02 07:17 am UTC (link)
	Neal shook himself out a bit. "On the rocks, normally." That had been a lot of liquor at once, and he hadn't eaten for most of the day. It hit him a little harder than it would have, otherwise. He'd stop at three or so, just in case. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-02 07:21 am UTC (link)
	"Good boy," Dani smiled, making them each a glass. "A little bit of water in your whisky lets the aromatics out more." She winked at him and handed him a glass. before fixing herself the same. "So, how're things? How's my adorably tiny best friend?" (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-02 07:33 am UTC (link)
	"Things are ... nice." Neal nodded, smiling in spite of himself. He sipped the whisky, smiling at the more familiar style. "We're doing pretty well. It's been nice having her around." (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-02 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	Dani smiled to herself, shaking her head. "She's happy too. I'm glad you're both happy together, that's sort of the point." Putting her feet up and sprawling out, Dani purred at being off of them for the first time that day. "Mmph, this chair." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-03 04:31 am UTC (link)
	"It's my favorite." Neal couldn't help but be amused. "Long day?" He sat on the couch next to the chair, sipping more whiskey. "We've had a string of 'em lately. It feels so weird to have to deal with a nine to five." (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-03 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, no longer than usual. I just always have achey feet - my job keeps me standing up the whole time, and I had a few more people to cut up than usual yesterday." She ran her fingers through her hair, still purring. "Mmm, I can feel my scalp." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-03 05:32 am UTC (link)
	Neal nodded, though he laughed when she purred. "Is it not normal to feel your scalp?" He laid his head back in his own chair. "I was on my feet most of today, too. We're tracking a con woman." His tone was a bit faraway, staring at a point on the floor. "She looked a lot like an old girlfriend of mine, honestly." She'd had Kate's eyes, and it had bugged him profoundly. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-03 05:33 am UTC (link)
	"Clearly you've never worn your hair in a bun." She smiled and wiggled her toes, looking over at him. "The one you told me about?" Her voice was more concerned, a bit more quiet. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-03 05:58 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Kate." Neal took another pull of whiskey. "They're nothing alike - this woman's even more ruthless. Still, it's ... weird." (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-03 06:07 am UTC (link)
	"Hairs on the back of your neck go up?" She smiled to herself, looking down at her glass. She jangled the ice cubes and sighed. "Sometimes I wish the ghosts of exes would just leave everyone alone." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-03 06:27 am UTC (link)
	"Definitely." Maybe it was the whiskey, but Neal felt like he could open up a little more than usual. "I worry that Kate will show up here. Not because BB couldn't handle it, just ..." He trailed off. It was just too weird. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-03 06:30 am UTC (link)
	"But because of how you'd react? You said she and you ended when she died, were you two on good terms at the time?" Talking about this reminded her of Stefan, and she moved to sit by Neal. (Reply to this)

"Not ... really." Neal shook his head. "She left me when I was in prison. But it wasn't really leaving. It was ... I don't know, it was a chase. I followed Kate's clues until she tried to get me to steal something. It went off, but then she and I tried to run and she was killed. But it turned out after she died that she was playing me." It still hurt to say, but at least he could say it.
