Anthony nodded thoughtfully and sipped his drink. Conversation, the drink, these were the sorts of signs of civilization that he appreciated, but that didn't mean he was going to pretend that that was what they were here for. "Are you finished with that?" he asked with a cool smile and nodded to Dodge's glass.

Dodge looked at his glass and thought for just a second about laying it aside...then he promptly downed ot all at once. He gagged a little and made a face but recovered fast. The warmth of the liquor as it spread through him was very welcome.

"Yeah, I'm done," he said as he handed it back to Anthony.

Anthony snorted softly. "Would you believe me if I told you that stuff used to be worse? Guy's actually gotten rather good at distilling, God help us all." He set aside his own glass, still half-full, and stepped close to Dodge again, brushing his thumb on his cheek. "Well..."

He licked his lips and met Anthony's eyes. Suddenly he wasn't bashful at all. This was what he knew how to do. This was what it seemed he'd always done. It was what he was good at.

"Do you kiss?" he asked softly, touching the man in return, brushing his fingertips down Anthony's shirt front. He took his cues from the man's looks and his touch and he reacted naturally.

He was really glad he'd downed the drink. This would be a lot easier with it in his blood.
