He wakes up in the middle of the forest with no shirt, a bird's nest close to his hair, a cat licking his face, the stench of eggs on his breath, and two roses lying over his chest. There's also a cup of alcohol sitting nearby, which makes the most sense of all the things he's surrounded by. Gwaine sits up and scratches first the back of his head ( Read more... )

Seifer was someone who was always concerned about dignity and appearance. He was scrupulously neat and there was never so much as a hair out of place on his head.

So when he saw Gwaine, his face fell into a contemptuous sneer.

"Nice shoes," he said snidely as the man passed.

It was a simple insult, with barely thought put into it. He was just looking for a reaction, some sign that he could still get to people, and if the other man didn't give him one, then that would be the end of it.

Gwaine grins, as if he hasn't even heard the tone. There's a point when you can either get angry or just remain cheerful, even as you're swinging to break a jaw. It does make bar fights a lot more fun when you're losing. "Do you like them?" he responds easily. "I think I saw a pair just like them in the box. Give me a day, I can arrange a delivery to you."

There was a part of Seifer that appreciated the other man's attitude, he could always respect those that didn't let themselves get pushed around.

Still that didn't stop his eyes narrowing slightly at being mocked.

"I do so love pretty shoes," he agreed, with a smile that was anything but friendly. "But I doubt you'll be able to keep any thought in your head for a whole day."

"Well, not if I drink the way I did last evening," Gwaine replies with a smile, eager to have met someone new, even if he's in a state. "I'm Gwaine. Sorry for the meeting under such strange circumstances, but...well, what can you do? A pint here, a pint there, three more here and there, things are bound to happen that you can't recall."

It was quite something the way this bloke just refused to be insulted, refused to rise to the bait, and Seifer couldn't help but admire it.

"Seifer," he replied. "And this place is dull enough, I wouldn't mind forgetting some of it myself."

Not that there was any risk of Seifer ever waking up wearing someone else's shoes.
