Firelight a trois (Locked to regal_courtesan and sneakylilminx)

Sinking back into the upholstered chair with a satisfied groan, Bishop watched the freshly-kindled fire start to grow with a certain sense of accomplishment. Between deals and monsters and plotting traps, it had been a busy day for the big investigator; a chance to simply sit back and unwind seemed like the perfect way to

Sukiko accepted Bishop's help with the fire with a gracious nod of her head. She didn't mind waiting on him since she was trained to take care of more than just her clients' sexual needs, but she also knew that sometimes a client wished to do certain things for themselves. She also had to admit that he was more adept at laying a fire than she was. In short order they had a cheery fire going and Bishop was settled comfortably in his chair once more

Bishop's head turned as he watched her go, an appreciative smile on his face. Really, a gorgeous girl like that was a pleasure to see moving so elegantly; with his more immediate concerns taken care of, he could take the time to take notice and enjoy.

But shortly after the door closed, Bishop's trenchoat was coming off. He slung it over the back of the chair, wincing as he removed the shirt and shoulder holster underneath; he didn't really have interest in making an inventory of all his cuts and bruises, but that Oaky did not go down easy.

Instead, he just sat back and let the firelight play over him, the warmth it was sending out gradually suffusing his bare skin; his eyes drifted closed for a little bit as he basked in the pleasant setting.

Her high heels clicking softly on the wooden floor, Sukiko made her way towards The Gilded Lotus's modest wine cellar. On the way there she stopped off at the kitchen shared by those who lived and worked at the brothel to see about some food for her guest. She wasn't at all surprised to see Hayleigh there, bustling around in her corset and high-heeled boots making refreshments for everyone like it was the most natural thing in the world. The little blonde loved to cook and was quite good at it, leading her to spend a lot of her free time doing it. Most of the other girls were more than happy to let her do it and helped out by cleaning up afterward

At the sound of the door, his eyes flicked back open as his far hand reached for his revolver on instinct; damn it, he forgot to reload! Better take care of that later.

Setting it aside again, he turned head and body slightly to look at Sukiko (and hopefully throw some useful shadows over the more painful hits he took, although not very successfully). Still, he nodded. "That'd just about hit the spot right now, yeah. That's an impressive bottle you brought out, Suki."

It wasn't something like cognac, so she probably wasn't buttering him up for another job... but still, high class enough for him to be appreciative, especially given all this Prohibition crap going down. "Quite a comfortable place you've got going. Glad I could help keep it safe."
