taking the offered bottle with a slow nod of his head in thanks, the king sat back into the couch; getting himself comfortable.
shoulders roll slightly in response to her question; head tilting slightly to focus his gaze onto her own. —
"oh, of course. only the best for you."
popping the cork out of the bottle, she handed over his own handle and settled onto the couch next to him with her own.
sure, maybe she was being a tad over flirtatious but can anyone really* blame her? she was lonely and they had tame —
( of course the king had sensed the vampire a long while ago, before she had made herself known. call it experience.
though, at the sound of her voice, he had slowly turned himself around to face her; a brow arching lightly — curiously. )
the same as you, I suppose.

the vampire stopped in her tracks, coming across the werewolf. she's been around enough to sense one out now. she looked at him, inhaling a soft breath.
"what are you doing here?" she questioned. the car lot was usually empty, she came to clear her head.
— ( he had said, while returning; seating himself back down upon the couch and placing the glasses on the table.
he popped the cork from the bottle; pouring both of them a rather generous helping. )
something stronger it is. ( clearing his throat, he would make his way on toward the kitchen. taking two glasses from the counter, along with a bottle of tequila. the something stronger. )
I am quite curious as to what have kept you busy all this time, tanya. —
i sure hope i’m not being poisoned . .
( now why would he go on and say something stupid like that ? she’s never going to accept a sweet treat from the nice neighbor again )
i fear if that’s what you transformed into , someone would have deep fried you and ate you —

he did not care how lavishly or mundane she lived. he was never one to judge someone for that. and not even when the request of his shoes were made, did he stop and pause — instead, he simply took them off and set them aside, before fully entering.
watching her —
perhaps he'd come to expect her living in luxury, after all these years, why not* take advantage of al her connections. instead, she leads him into a modest apartment. nothing fancy here, that's for all her other homes.
walking in the front door, she motions to his —
—
now, what would you like to drink? I do of course still have that precious chai in the house, as well. but something tells me you would want something a little stronger.
well, there you go. not all your friends are dangerous. or perhaps your neighbor is secretly a spy and is poisoning you, bit by bit.
( he emitted a scoff, jesting of course. or was he? in this world, you never know. . . )
a chicken. . . would you have made fun of —
( tilts her head slightly , her index finger gently tapping against her chin as she started thinking ) well — sometimes my neighbour sends baked goods over , she’s a human , so yes — i have human friends .
(is it her fault she attracts danger ?)
oh —- well , at least you (+)
— me much, if that is exactly what I were able to turn into? a terrifying chicken.
( at the last poke, his head tilted a little; a sly little grin upon his lips — he stood. ) and I promise, if I were dead, I would haunt you only on days you feel lonely. —
( a wry chuckle escaped him. ) the dangerous kind. have you got a human friend, tanya?
( head shook lightly st that. ) only the king of gods can break it. but, it is fine. I am not defeated by it. ( then his brow arched and yet another chuckle escaped him at the poking —
( rolls her eyes playfully , giving him a look )
the / kind / of friends i keep — and what kind of friends do i keep , hm ?
( nods slowly ) there’s got to be a way to break it —- someone’s gotta know , right ?
( a hand moved to gently poke his arm ) it’s great (+)
I suppose you're very right. but, I do dare a vampire to come close — with that intend, of course. I know the kind of friends you keep.
( his shoulders lifted slightly. ) I remain cursed.
but enough of that — it truly is good to see you again, tanya.
i don’t know if that’s something i can choose , guess it depends on who gets to me first , no ?
( furrows her brows and adjusts herself so her body was facing him as he sat down as well , she’s flickering to the claw )
oh —- so what now ?
