That "party" was a complete bust. Not interesting at all, I can't even believe I wasted my time going. [And all the "interesting" stuff that did happen at the party seemed to happen to everyone other than him. What cruel irony.]

By the way. Conrad, how sad we didn't see you! I had somethin' to give you too. [Namely a right hook.] You avoiding us ( Read more... )

such a bully, finas, !voice, bored, conrad

Do you have a taste for anything in particular, Cas? My treat.

[It was his turn to cheer his partner up. It has been one disappointing day after another and to be quite honest Cas had been behaving surprisingly well. Perhaps he'll bring an extra bottle, an italian red wine as a gift.]

[ooc: No problem. c: good luck with your exams!]

bethebetterman October 5 2010, 02:27:48 UTC

That's a pretty generous offer. In that case, something strong. I trust your judgment.

[ooc; thank you bb~ c:]

I owe you, don't I? I'll be there at seven with the alcohol.

[He'll just be hanging up to go to the liquor store, taking his sweet time, making sure he made a good selection for both the expected bottle and the wine.]

action! bethebetterman October 5 2010, 03:07:30 UTC

Heh, very true. See you then.

[He hangs up and wanders off to tell his "wife" to stay the hell away from them for the night. Then he simply waits by for a knock at the door.]

action predatored October 5 2010, 03:47:19 UTC

[Since Cas wanted something strong, Finas finally decided on a bottle of cognac. The wine selection took a little longer, he wasn't much of a wine drinker himself and he never really was... but he settled for a well aged Barolo. Pleased with his purchase he made his way to Cas' home, at his from step and giving two firm knocks before he waited, both bottles nestled in the crook of his arm.]

action bethebetterman October 5 2010, 03:53:53 UTC

[Cas rolled off the couch and walked to the door at the sound of knocking. He opened it and grinned at the sight of Finas. This grin grew upon seeing not one but two bottles he was carrying.]

You splurged, huh? Come in. [And he stands out of the way for Finas, shutting the door behind him.]

action-- html fail orz predatored October 5 2010, 04:24:56 UTC

Something like that.

[And once he's inside he'll hand off the bottles to Cas so he can take off his jacket. First the cognac.] The something strong you requested and... [Handing him the wine.] Something for you, I thought you would enjoy that.

[Burden free he'll take his time shugging his jacket off, and loosening his scarf next.]

action bethebetterman October 5 2010, 04:36:14 UTC

[He took the cognac and looked it over fondly.]

Perfect, good choice.

[And afterwards he took the wine as well, staring at it a little longer. Aw.]

Hey, thanks! Y'know I'm a sucker for red, I'll get some glasses. Feel like playing in the kitchen or the living room?

action predatored October 5 2010, 04:50:59 UTC

[It made him feel like a sentimental old fool, to be honest, but... Casimiro seemed pleased and that was the important thing. Hanging up his jacket and scarf, nodding absently.] I recalled you mentioning red wine... at some point.

[How many years could that have been, he wondered. Ah well, that didn't matter. Smoothing down his dress shirt, shrugging a shoulder.]

Whichever you'd prefer, I'm not picky.

action bethebetterman October 5 2010, 04:58:01 UTC

[He appreciated it a little more than he let on, because y'know, manly pride and whatever. But the grin he gave was a little more grateful this time around, before he turned to retreat to the kitchen.]

That must've been a long time ago, you've got a pretty good memory. All right, let's stick to the kitchen then.

action predatored October 5 2010, 05:26:55 UTC

[Following him into the kitchen, not bothering to look around, to look at photograps or paintings. Quite sure he didn't want to catch a glimpse of any family photographs. Sure be could subtly tease the other mam concerning his jealousy, but it was another thing entirely to be put in his shoes, so-to-speak. Finas was hardly as territorial as Cas was, actually he was hardly territorial at all, but the family aspect of Mayfield and Cas in particular didn't sit well with him.

So keeping his sights straight as he passed down the hall, turning into the kitchen.]

A good memory is a handy tool.

[Rolling up his sleeves as he takes a seat.]

I trust your wife won't be interrupting?

action bethebetterman October 5 2010, 05:38:55 UTC

[Cas set the bottles on the table and moved to the cabinet, taking out two glasses. He set them on the counter and grabbed a bottle opener from the counter. One he used for work, as a matter of fact. And in a matter of seconds the red wine was open.]

Don't worry about that. I got it taken care of.

[No, not like that, he actually did it the civil way. No getting droned for Cas tonight. He poured a glass for himself and some cognac for Finas (remembering vaguely he wasn't much of a wine drinker) and took a seat across from him.]

Since your wife's "broken" now too, that complicates things a little. Guess it doesn't really matter where we play now.

action predatored October 5 2010, 06:14:10 UTC

[He trusted that Cas didn't do anything to his wife, besides he was very much the Casimiro he knew and not some drone in his place. He gave a nod at his assurance, Finas wasn't sure hecwabted to meet the droned woman. He was getting tired of drones in general.]

...Quite. She didn't approve of my coming here tonight, that it was late and I should get to bed. Really if she's going to nag as much I'm afraid I may have to go against my better judgement and do something to remedy the problem.

[Taking a sip of his drink, the warmth that spread down his throat and settled in his stomach was rather enjoyable.]

Do you want to deal? or should I.

action bethebetterman October 5 2010, 06:27:05 UTC

Sounds like you're feeling my pain now.

[He took a drink as well, this actually being the first instance he'd tasted wine again since he was first a mortal. The smooth almost savory warmth hit him hard with nostalgia, and he couldn't help but grin.]

I'll deal this one.

[Setting his glass down, he picked up the deck and shuffled, distributing five each way and picking up his hand.]

Should we make this interesting?

action predatored October 5 2010, 06:35:33 UTC

[He just grunts in response, enjoying his drink. No need to talk about fake wives anymore, mm? And he's watching Cas enjoy his drink, smiling for a second or two in his own, glad he decided to get the man his wine.

Taking his cards, calmly looking them over.]

...What do you have in mind?

action bethebetterman October 5 2010, 06:41:46 UTC

[Cas looked thoughtfully at his hand, organizing a few cards before putting two down and taking two from the deck. And another long drink of wine was taken.]

I dunno, some kind of bet maybe. Money, favors, somethin' like that.

[Although it was kind of an unspoken agreement that they had each others back when it came to both, it might make the game a little more interesting to raise the stakes.]
