Luxord shuffled some cards in his hand as he walked purposefully  toward Larxene's room.  He was dressed in a black wife beater, a pair of leather pants that fit him like second skin, and a pair of boots.  His hangover from earlier this morning was completely gone, one of the few perks of being a time element.  Coming upon XII's door he leaned

Her eyes dropped to his mouth and the corners of her own lifted into a smirk. "No, of course not. I'll be back before you know it."

With that she pushed the door to. The sound of her heels receded as they traveled back across the room. The other door was opened, and the sound of a soft grunt could be heard, then silence. The other door closed again with the added sound of a key being turned in a lock, followed by another short pause and then the sound of rustling. After a moment she reappeared at the door, pulling it all the way open and stepping to the side so he could enter. She was wearing a white silk blouse that was buttoned just high enough to cover the important parts and a knee length grey skirt. The heels were still on. "Come in. I know I said something more comfortable, but it is you, and we all know to layer before participating in your games."

Her room was decorated surprisingly in soft blues, no hint of leather or red or anything else that would suggest her "hobbies." The other door could be seen in the back corner, locked and ominous.

"Care for a drink?"

[fateful_gamble]

"Layers make the game more fun." He smirked, entering the room, eyeing the door in the back slightly before turning his attention back to where it was suppose to be. "A drink would be luvely." He clicked his tongue ring again, not used to having it in after quite a while.

She brushed by him, the clean scent of rain and, oddly enough, a hint of vanilla left in her wake. She approached a small liquor cabinet, removing two glasses and, after a moment of considering the choices, a bottle of whiskey. She filled both glasses with a liberal amount, then returned to his side, the two glasses in one hand and the much emptier bottle in the other. She deftly handed him one of the glasses.

"I must warn you, I tend to get friendlier the more I drink. I'm sure you won't take advantage of me though." She grinned, lifting her glass. "Cheers." She took a large drink, her face momentarily scrunching up at the taste.

[fateful_gamble]

"Of course, luv, I'll be the perfect gentlemen." He returned her grin, lifting his own glass. "Cheers, luv."

He only took a sip from his, knowing he'd regret gulping it down. "So I'm guessing that's why you never come with any of us on drinking trips."

[evil_but_pretty]

"Well a girl has to be careful, otherwise she might get a reputation, and I wouldn't want that." The way she was eating him up with her eyes said otherwise, and there was a slight charge to the air, like a storm was gathering.

She gestured to her bed. "I don't really have an appropriate place to play cards, so I guess that will have to do."

[fateful_gamble]

"Oh course you wouldn't." He smirked before taking another sip from his drink. He could smell the ozone in the air when he sniffed at it lightly.

"It'll do just fine, luv." Luxord said as he walk towards the bed.

[evil_but_pretty]

She moved towards the other side of the bed, climbing gracefully onto the firm mattress, managing not to lose a drop of her half-emptied drink. The bottle of whiskey was propped against the many pillows.

She folded her legs primly to the side, the long skirt not revealing much.

"So what kind of game did you have in mind for tonight?"

[fateful_gamble]

He sat down next to her and looked for a place to set his drink down, not wanting to spill it on the bed.

"Didn't really have anything in mind, petal. I just thought I'd come up with something when I got 'ere."

[evil_but_pretty]

Seeing his eyes wandering, she gestured to the nightstand next to him, placing her own drink on the matching one on her side of the bed. "You can set your drink there for safe keeping. And I suppose poker would always work for our purposes."

She idly toyed with the top button of her blouse. "And what will we be gambling with tonight?"

[fateful_gamble]

Luxord set the drink down and brought out his cards again. He looked thoughtful as he started to shuffle them.

"I was thinking that since you were so kindly hosting our little game in you room that you pick what was being gambled. Unless, of course, you'd rather me decide the bet."

Is it me, or did that just totall not make sense......o.O

Love the icon, btw

[evil_but_pretty]

I'm right there with you, love. And thanks muchly. Yours distracts me terribly. ;p

Another sip of her drink which had somehow gotten back into her hand. Her eyes seemed darker, her voice lower. "I'd be very interested to hear what you want."

A predatory flash of teeth that could be called a smile. "As long as you're willing to wager the same, of course."

[fateful_gamble]

"Of course, luv, I would never wager something I myself wouldn't do." Luxord grinned as he leaned towards Larxene.

.....That was short.....;-;

[evil_but_pretty]

Larxene in turn leaned closer, bringing their faces dangerously close. She idly stroked his jawline with the backs of her knuckles.

"Alright then. Five hands, the winner being whoever wins the most of those five hands. If you win, you have me for a night to do whatever it is you desire with me. If I win, I get you under the same circumstances. And I would also promise to... behave myself. You'd be safe from my more dangerous pursuits." She briefly pressed her lips to his. "Unless you asked very nicely."

And then she was back to her side of the bed and there was space between them once more. She smiled innocently. "Do we have an agreement?"

[fateful_gamble]

Luxord smiled back. "I beleive we do, luv." He shuffled to cards a few more times before stting them down on the bed. "Would you cut them please?"

He picked up his drink and downed the rest of its contantes. He winced slightly at the burn down his throat it caused.

I swear for the life of me that I thought I responed to this already. O.o I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply back.

And just to remind you, I know nothing about poker. ^^;
