SATURDAY NIGHT: WATERSONG [OPEN]

[satore]

It was supposed to be a wild night out with his older cousins. Itt was supposed to be them showing how much more wild their little town was. It was supposed to be all boys together but Tonio had been quickly disappointed by their promises. Not in the club, no the club wasn't so bad but Tonio had been abandoned by his cousin after he realised that the autograph was a one-off thing and Tonio didn't actually make a habit of hanging around young, beautiful actresses and all their beautiful friends.

Gian was dancing with a girl and who knows where the others where, leaving Tonio alone to prop up the bar. Smiling in bemusement, he ran a hand through his hair before leaning across to order another drink. Well, if he wasn't going to find entertainment with his cousins then he'd have to make his own up. Taking his drink, he glanced across the crowd with a mischievous smile lingering on his lips before he caught someone's eye.

"Ciao, can I get you a drink?"

[ameliecoombs]

Amelie has decided that tonight is a night for drinking. She's promised to pose for Daniel I'm the morning which is probably a mistake, but she's getting tired of being a perfect Coombs this week, so it's time to let go a little.

She takes a seat at the bar wearing a dress that her mother would have chastised her for, but her mother isn't here. "Martini, please," she orders from the bartender, and looks around to people watch.

[satore]

Tonio glanced around the bar, eyes lingering on the beautiful woman sat alone at the bar. Eyes travelling up her long legs, he took in the sight of tight dress and the curve of her lips; his lips twitched into an appreciative smile especially when he saw who those lips belonged to.

Walking over Tonio leaned against the bar before indicating to the bartender.

"I'll buy that, ciao bellissima" Tonio greeted with a smile. "What are you doing here on your own?"

[asharpertongue]

Lara laughed. "That's normally my line considering I own the place." She settled into the seat next to him and held out her hand. "Lara Quinn."

[ameliecoombs]

"Escaping the press for a little while, though I'm beginning to think here wasn't the best idea." If nothing else, a headline about her being a drunken harlot is better than implying she practices dark magic, so why not. "What are you doing?"

[satore]

"Ah, but surely you would be out of a business if you were buying everyone drinks?" Tonio replied with a cheeky grin. Taking her hand, he shook hers firmly before adding to the bartender that he'd like to buy his boss whatever she wanted. "Tonio Satore. Nice place you have Ms Quinn."

[satore]

"Don't worry, they'll soon get bored and move on to bigger fish." Tonio had read the headlines and heard the rumours about what had happened on the cruise but he doubted there was any lick of truth to them. All the Coombs girls had been on the ship, they'd been in danger- Tonio had helped save Aoife, in a way, after all. The press were just doing what they usually did- piss everyone else off. "Ah, tell me if you see anyone causing trouble for you and I'll warn them off."

Or hex them off. But that was another matter entirely. Tonio took the martini before offering it to Amelie and took his own beer. "Ah, it was supposed to be a boys night out with my cousins but I've been abandoned. Want to keep me company?"

[asharpertongue]

Oh she liked this one already. She smiled. "I know who you are, Tonio. I've seen you In the restaurant." She said, taking the drink from Michael as the bartender moved along. "What brings you to my bar tonight?"

[ameliecoombs]

She takes a sip of her drink and appreciates the fact that he's willing to look past all the Coombs bullshit.

"I'd love to," she says with a smile, and turns her chair towards him, crossing her legs over one another. "I haven't seen you in a while, how have you been?"

[second_son]

"Yes, you can," he says with a prize-winning smile. The man is handsome, and Demetri appreciates the good looking, male or female. Even if it is an objective appreciation more and more these days. "What do you recommend?"

[satore]

"Ah, but a gentleman should always introduce himself to a lady officially. And thank you again for your patronage, you always brighten up a very dull day." Tonio replied with a grin. Running a hand through his errant curls, he took his own drink before looking through the crowd to point out his cousins. "It was supposed to be a boys night out, I've been abandoned."

[satore]

Tonio grinned, clapping the man on the back before leaning forward on the bar to try and get the bartenders attention.

"Ah, now it would depend what kind of man you are? And your preferences? Do you prefer the traditional or are you more willing to experiment?" Tonio asked with a mischievous grin.

[satore]

"At least something good has come from my cousin's lack of loyalty." Tonio replied, reaching out to help her turn her chair inwards towards him. Resting his hand on the back of her chair, he smiled at her and leaned in a little towards her. Almost effectively blocking any shots, anyone with a camera might want to get. Just in case. "No, you haven't which is a terrible shame. I'm- ah, a little homesick. Not that the company here isn't excellent but I have far too much time on my hands here. How about you? How are you bellissima?"

[second_son]

"My preferences? It seems like you're being sort of forward, aren't you?" Demetri is teasing, it's second nature nearly. With a question like that, how could he not? "I'll say experiment. Surprise me."

[satore]

"Ah well, if you're not forward in this life then you never get what you want." Tonio grinned back, the teasing is a pleasant surprise but Tonio isn't likely to blush. He's seen and heard far worse at Carnivale. "I'm going to get you something we'll both enjoy then... he'll have a blowjob."

[asharpertongue]

"Oh no! That's awful." Lara exclaimed. "We'll have to find something for you to do to keep you occupied."

[second_son]

"Will I now?" It's the name of a drink, he knows, but he's also a bit keen on the act. "Is it going to come in a glass?"

[satore]

"You did want me to surprise you," Tonio replied, grinning a little wickedly. He watched the bartender, fix the man the ordered drink before smiling a little more at the question. "A blow job has to come in something. So, I suppose it has to be a glass. Have you ever had one? A blow job?"

[satore]

"And what would you have me do?" Tonio asked, a playful grin on his lips. "To occupy myself."

[second_son]

"I have had many blow jobs, but the papers could have told you that," he says, still teasing. He's known as being a womaniser in town, and it helps him in a lot of ways. Mostly when it comes to what he really wants, and that's not his father's ideal of a happy family. "But I've never had one in a glass."

[satore]

"I didn't realise the papers would be so interested in your drinking habits. Do you often get caught out at bars?" Tonio asked, grinning when the shot is presented in front of the other man. "Ah, well now you will. The trick is not to use your hands. Do you need me to help?"

[asharpertongue]

Lara made a show of looking him up and down. She had no intention of having him do anything with her but it's always fun to flirt. "Well I run a bar. Drinking seems like an available option. Especially now that you know the owner. " She gestured around the room. "And dancing seems like a thing you young people are keen on."

[second_son]

'I think the papers are interested in my other habits, and drinking just happens to fall into the spectrum." He looks at the shot glass in front of him and raises a brow. "No, this I think I have on my own."

It's easy to put his mouth over the shot glass, to swallow it back and then plunk it back on the bar. "You'd think I was an expert, wouldn't you?"

[satore]

"You make it a habit to get caught or just unfortunate?" He watched as the man's mouth slid around the rim of the glass before he swallowed, knocking it back and dropping the empty glass back on the bar. Laughing, he patted the other man on the back before ordering two more traditional beers. Tonio grinned at the leftover cream, tracing his finger round the rim of the glass before he sucked it clean. "I'm Tonio. And I think I haven't surprised you yet, should I keep trying?"

[second_son]

"I make a habit of being a public person in public places. I wish it was otherwise." He says, watching what the other man does with his finger. It's enough to make him wonder if he was hitting on him, or just clueless, and hope that it was the former. "Tonio. I'm Demetri, and no, I'm not surprised, but I'm looking forward to what you can do."

[satore]

"And do you always prefer doing things in public?" He asked, taking the beers and wondering what to order next for them both. "Demetri. I should have probably ordered a long, slow comfortable screw up against a wall then."
