 Isolde needed a break from humanity. She was so busy these days juggling Aurelius and Aeron that she barely had any time to breath but tonight she decided she was going to take some time for herself and get totally shitfaced. Now, this may not have been totally healthy but Isolde didn't care so much. She walked into the bar and was happy to say that it was kind of dead. She had her choice of any stool in the joint so she sat in the one closest to the bartender at the moment. " One Corvistowne Ale please" she called out. " Yea you got it miss, gimme a minute I got some problems goin' on 'ere" barked the bartender, looked like he wasn't having a great night either. " Buddy... you don't know the meaning of problems till you stood in my shoes!" It probably wasn't the best idea to talk about problems to Isolde tonight, normally she would have listened but tonight... ugh, tonight she was just not in the mood. She had so many worries and irritations in her head, it was starting to get to her. She didn't want to hurt either guy and she felt like a louse for letting it get this far but she just couldn't help herself; she liked both guys for different reasons and neither had any flaws. Bah, time for drinking! The bartender brought her drink and in one gulp she finished it and tapped her glass on the bar for another. He rolled his eyes and went back to fix her another. Tonight would be a long night. |

 Lucio watched from where he sat in front of a table as a new face walked into the place and sat down at a stool in front of the bar. He was toying with the idea of going and introducing himself as she ordered her drink until he heard her quip about troubles. He watched as she downed her drink in a shot and tapped the bar for another. Poor girl must be having a hell of a night. He got up and walked the couple of feet over to the bar and tried to catch the barkeeps attention. " Hey friend, when you have a second I could use another beer. And let me buy a round for the lady here, she seems like she could use it" he called out before turning to the girl and nodding a hello. " Long night eh?" he asked while nodding to her empty glass sitting in front of her. " Too many more of those and you will only be caring about how bad your head hurts when you wake up" he said with a slight laugh. |

Isolde was just about to bark another order to the bartender when she heard a guy ordering for her. Well that was nice, she looked
up to see a handsome young weasel speaking to her.
"You could certainly say that. If that was all the troubles I had tomorrow, I should be a lucky girl" she smirked. This was a welcome diversion from her thoughts meeting a new person who had no idea who she was or what was going on. The bartender came over and slid her drink to her, if she had been drunk she probably would not have caught that which though it would have been funny... it would also have been the cherry on her night. She had already almost been caught by one guy when she was seeing the other, she really didn't need any wonderful embarrassments.
"I'm Isolde" she offered. He was nice enough to buy her a drink, she could be nice enough to speak with him for a bit. Maybe he'd turn out to be a top notch guy, weirder things had happened to her in a bar.

"Well I hope things work themselves out for you then. Such a pretty face does not need to carry out so much worry."
Well, she was talking to him. That was a good thing. He had worried that buying her drink before speaking might have led to her think he had ulterior motives. Not that he would have blamed her in the least. They -were- in a bar after all.
He moved over to her a couple of feet to make talking a bit easier as she was introducing herself. "I'm Lucio. The pleasure is mine I'm sure" he replied as the barkeep set his drink down, and slid hers the rest of the way to her. He noted that she was able to catch it before it went over the bar, so she could not have been too far into the night.
Sipping his drink, he turned his head towards the bar noticing how empty it really was. There were just a handful of Cards scattered about. Looking back towards the girl he adjusted his seat so he could keep the bartender in his field of vision and still talk.
"So, care to share your troubles, or are you content to just drown them tonight?"

Isolde looked up and smiled at the guy. His words seemed like he was flirting but he didn't seem skeezy so she relaxed a bit. The worst that could happen now was him throwing out some bad pickup lines- Hey what's your sign- Are those rocket pants... blah blah blah she'd heard them all. She figured she would give him the benefit of the doubt though because he really did seem nice.
"Well, I wouldn't want to bore you. I'm just stuck in one of those usual shady love triangles. I like one guy alot but then the other one's nice too blah blah blah. I'm sure it happens all the time really. Of course these things always end up happening to me" she said sadly.
"I figured that at least if i got sufficiently sloshed tonight, I wouldn't have to worry about anything until tomorrow other than how to get back in the house without making any noise."

"Ah, well. Can't say I have ever been involved in one of those. But they are lucky guys to be sure. As for getting home, I'd only hope one was not in bed awaiting you, and you called the wrong name. That could get pretty tricky hm?"
Poor girl. Though not surprising. She really was beautiful. Relationships always did look like they were complicated from his point of view. But he'd never been in one, so he could not say for sure. But trying to balance two lovers would drive someone to ..well drinking it would seem. Ah well. He tossed back the rest of his drink and ordered another round for the two of them. If she had that much on her mind, no need for her to have to empty her pockets to forget about it for a couple of hours.
"But enough of all of that. Aside from too many males chasing your coat-tails things are well enough for you?"

"Lucky you! It is a very hard thing to maintain" The next thing that he said made her laugh though.
"Ha! Wouldn't that be interesting" she snorted. It really was an amusing thought but Aeron would probably have a fit and not talk to her for awhile if ever if she called him Aurelius by mistake and definitely vice versa. Though it was easy enough not to do that, Aurelius and Aeron were as different as black and white. Aurelius was the cute little shy guy where Aeron, he was definitely the bad boy. He excited and scared her at the same time and he didn't even expect a relationship from her, it was a totally win-win situation for her. But then Aurelius... he was just really sweet and she liked him a lot. Isolde sighed to herself and quickly tried to steer her brain from that line of thinking.
"Yes. Things are actually quite well. Good home, Good family, Good job... things haven't really been better in a really long time" she smiled this time in a better mood than before. And it was true.
"Thank you by the way for paying, it's very nice of you. You really need to let me pay you back sometime though".

"Interesting eh? Well I suppose thats one way to put it", he replied with a chuckle. "And glad to hear most everything else is looking favorably for you. I'm sure two suiters are more than enough to weigh on your mind."
He smiled at her offer to pay him back. It was a bit expected but truly unnecessary. "Oh, thats quite allright. I don't mind in the least, and I really was not looking forward to spending the night drinking alone. You make much better company than myself, and are a sight bit prettier than I am to boot" he contined with an impish grin to let her know it was all said in jest.
You'd better watch yourself Lucio, he said to himself. Too many of your jokes and the girl will just think you're trying to take her home as well. He really did need to watch himself. Sometimes he forgot how leading his sense of humor could be.

"You said it" she said as she took a drink. Even one suitor could be a handful sometimes but that was alright because that meant that at least someone cared about her.
She smiled at his words. "Well you are definitely very sweet and I like your company too. Although i'm sure if we dolled you up a bit, you could be just as pretty as me" she teased as she tousled the fur on his head.
"Hell, you could probably take my place with Aurelius" she winked. She was definitely on a train to drunk town. Pretty soon the only way she was getting home would be carried. After today though, it was something she deserved.
She had to be careful though because she wanted to be drunk enough to forget her name but not so drunk that she would be an obnoxious idiot and wake up the whole house when she got home.

[Ack. I'm so sorry. -dies-. I thought with a few days off I'd have some spare time, but it seems it's filled with trying to do everything I can't do when I'm working]
Lucio let a low rumble escape unexpectedly from deep in his chest. It was amazing how good it felt for someone to play with the top of his head, no matter the circumstances. Trying quickly to cover the sound, he tried to focus very closely on what she was saying.
"Ah, I'v never gotten along so well with other males. If nothing else, they are not nearly so pretty to look at as ladies such as yourself."
Oh man. He was doing it again. But damn that head scratch felt good just moments ago. FORGET THAT he thought sternly to himself. You're letting the drink get to your head. She's gotten two suitors to meet her needs, and you don't even stay in one place long enough to get to know anybody, he continued to admonish to himself.
"Ah, I don't know about that" he said, referring to her comment about Aurelius. "I'm sure anyone would have quite a hard time competing with someone as beautiful as you."
LUCIO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? he shouted mentally to himself. YOU'RE JUST LOOKING TO GET INTO TROUBLE TONIGHT he continued his mental scolding of himself.
He looked at the girl as she finished her drink. "Are you going to be all right Mi'Lady? Would you like me to escort you to your home?" He may be slightly drunk, but he still had enough sense to play a gentleman at least.
