Joy Ride

"Alright. I might go wander around the market, but I'll definitely be here when you get off. I mean to get to know you better." Lucien slipped in a sultry wink, hoping to keep the man attached so he could get what he came for. There was no time to waste, while he was out he could probably find a some nice new arrows. He didn't have his bow on him, but he liked poisoning the tips so that his kills were nice and dead. "Mind getting me a refill, dear?" He smiled at Allecher and gestured to his now empty beer glass.

[keaka]

"Of corse, darling. I'll get it right away." Allecher picked the cup up and practically pranced to the kitchen. He started to pour some more beer for Lucien, sighing happily. He couldn't remember ever feeling so happy before in his life. Sure Allecher was a flirt, but he felt like his life depended on it now. It was a strange feeling to be sure, but he liked it. A lot. Taking the beer, he set it down in front of Lucien. "Here you are!" Just then, another costumer walked in and Allecher sighed. I've got to get back to work now, but I'll see you soon, alright?" He blew him a kiss and winked before walking towards the new person.

[Deleted]

Alright, he'd admit it. The man was somewhat attractive. Lucien smiled graciously when Allecher came back with his beer, thanked him, and took a swig of it. He wasn't disappointed when the other person came in, it was kind of a relief. Now he could pack up and do some shopping while in the land of this 'clan'. Perhaps he could also get some background knowledge on the area and see how he could dominate it. He nodded to Allecher's statement-question and finished off his meal, before standing graciously, his lithe form catching a ray of sun. He turned, stretched to flaunt himself, and exited the building. Out in the market, he looked about for goods that interested him.

((Feel free to be awesome and skip ahead or this can continue, no probs. ))

[keaka]

((I'll just skip it. It'd be boring on my end XD))

Allecher eyed Lucien as he left before returning his focus to his work. He usually loved working at the diner, but today, time couldn't have dragged by more slowly. He sighed tiredly. When an hour had finally passed, Allecher practically ran out the door. When he was outside, he looked around excitedly, looking to see if Lucien was nearby. After a few minutes, his hopes began to drop. Perhaps he had forgotten? Left? He bit his lip and shook his head. No! He wouldn't think like that. He would wait just a little longer...

[Deleted]

Lucien had gotten distracted by a man in need of an assassin. Sure enough, he had found a job. Thankfully it didn't need to be completely for a while. He hadn't exactly kept track of time, but he hoped he wasn't late. He approached the diner from behind, seeing Allecher standing out in front of the building. Without hesitation, Lucien silently approached the man from behind and leaned his warm self against Allecher's backside (literal backside, not booty). "Sorry I'm late. I got distracted."

[keaka]

Just as Allecher was about to give up and head home, he felt someone leaning against him. He jumped and whirled around, hand on his pulsing heart. "Lucien! Oh, thank goodness it's just you! You about gave me a heart attack!" He took a few breaths as he tried to slow his heartbeat down. "I... I thought you had left, so I was about to leave..."

[Deleted]

"Left?" Lucien shook his head and smiled. "No, no! I couldn't leave! I'm too excited to see where you live! If I never found out, how would I be able to visit?" Lucien chuckled quietly, still shaking his head. "You silly boy. Sorry that I startled you, I just enjoy adding flair to things." Lucien was a menace, but he was still too intrigued by the man to give anything else up. His green eyes, the color of poison itself, flashed in the light being cast off by the slowly setting sun. It was only a few hours after noon, but the sun was setting either way you looked at it.

[keaka]

Allecher smiled and nodded. "Of course! I apologize for being so paranoid, but it wouldn't be the first time something like that happened... Anyway! I can show you the way to my house." He started walking down the street. Vincent was practically screaming at him, saying what an idiotic idea it was, but Allecher wasn't paying any mind to the killjoy. He finally reached his house and he opened the door for Lucien. "After you!"

[Deleted]

Lucien took a few steps inside, took a deep whiff of the house, though paid mind enough so that Allecher didn't hear, and smiled to himself. Interesting. "You've got quite a nice little dwelling here, Allecher." The pale man began to wonder what it would take to get that other side of the man to show itself again. He didn't want to harm this one, as it was decent company, but he didn't want to waste time either. Perhaps he had some tea. "Say, Allecher, might you have some tea you could brew? My stomach's a little upset and tea usually quells the storm." He took a seat at the table.

[keaka]

"Tea? Oh, of course I have tea! Hold on just one moment and I'll go get you some." He sprinted from the room and hurried to get the water boiling. In a mere matter of minutes, Allecher returned with a tray with two cups and a pot of tea. He carefully poured the tea into the fine china and handed a cup over to Lucien. He was very protective of this particular set since Vincent had acquired it on a scouting trip. He never gave any details on how but Allecher could guess. Vincent gave him the set as an apology for a huge fight they had. It was the closest the other had ever came to apologizing, so Allecher treasured it. "Here you are! I hope you like it... It's one of my favorite brews."

[Deleted]

Lucien grabbed a cup as gently as possible, admiring the workmanship the cup displayed. "This is quite the beautiful set. Where'd you acquire it?" It looked rather expensive. The pale men slowly lifted it up to his lips and took a sip of the tea. "It's not bad." That was a compliment, coming from Lucien, but Allecher probably wasn't aware of that. Lucien took another drink and placed the cup back on in its spot on the table. He looked at the man, almost a visual opposite of himself, and struck a thinking pose. "How is a man like you still single?"

[keaka]

Allecher hid a smile behind his hand. He was wondering when a good time would be to use the tea he had gotten from the marketplace, and poof, a fine opportunity had hit him in the face! Who was he to not serve his guest anything but the best tea he had to offer? "T-the tea set I got from a... a friend. It was an apology gift." He stumbled over the word 'friend' since Vincent didn't like to consider the two friends. "As for me being single, I suppose I just haven't met the right person yet..." He rubbed his thumb on his cup as he thought of how to further answer the question. "It's not like many young ladies aren't interested, it's just that... well, I'm not attracted to them. At all, really."

[Deleted]

The fact that Allecher wasn't interested in females sweetened the deal all the more for Lucien. He smiled, briefly aware that everything seemed a bit more vivid. "Your friend has great taste. What was in that tea?" There had to be something. If it were poison Lucien assumed that he would be immune, so he tried not to sweat it too much. He took a drink, trying to figure out what it was. It was a very black tea, A variety the likes of which he had never had before. It was interesting, to say the least.

"You say you don't like women? I don't either. Not after what they did to me."

[keaka]

"You know," Allecher said after a bit of thought, "I'm not entirely sure." It's not like that was a complete lie... He didn't actually know what was in the tea, but he could make pretty good guesses. Not that he was going to reveal that to Lucien, of course. Allecher finally took a sip of the tea, refusing to let anything happen. Not yet, anyway. He had every intention of dragging this out.

"You say you're not interested in women? Why would that be? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I won't pry." He said soothingly as he slid a bit closer to the other male. The last thing he wanted was to scare him away.

[Deleted]

"There was a Kokiri woman I was infatuated with when I was younger." Lucien thoughtfully sipped his tea, eyes focused on the cup. "She greatly affected my view on females, to say the least." He paused, not sure if he should continue. He planned to forever hold this grudge, and he'd never really been outward with it. "I was about to propose to her. I'd dressed up, put on some scents to make myself more appealing, combed my hair, and bought flowers. I walked to her house, walked in the door, and found her with another man." He blinked, taking it all in, and tightened his grip on the tea cup.

"I left. I didn't want to kill her. I was still in love." He didn't regret that at all. He was glad he hadn't ended her. He had learned from his mistakes and become a brilliant assassin after her and was pleased with his life. A cold hearted person was the best for killing others. No one could take revenge.
