Jesus ******** Christ.
"Four slices of combo, Mikey. Put a little hot sauce on the kid's." Because it would look like blood, or whatever. Odd, how Lex was so thoroughly weirded out by Angel, yet intent on making his evening in Vegas a nice one.
"Yessir, Mr. Jamil. Give us a sec, we've got a combo comin' outta the oven right now." The cook barked back, giving him a quizzical brow. Mr. Jamil never showed up with these kinds'a gals.
Two pints of draft were slid Lex's way, and one was offered to Angel. "I know you're underage and all, but don't worry about it. Stuff's good for the body."

To prove the kid statement wrong, Angel stuck his tongue out at Lex, annoyed but curious.
"Man, I really am like, staarviing," he whined. "It smells like, really good."
Angel accepted the pint, looking comically large in front him, second only to his owlish eyes. "Huh." He sniffed at it, curious. "We mostly have mead, cos we have an apiary and stuff. Do you like mead?"
He took a sip of the beer, wrinkling his nose delicately. "I'm not so sure about this. It's not sweet at all."

"Major Holidays." At least Lex had heard of the Winter Solstice before - he just wasn't aware people still celebrated it.
Their pizza was hollered out to them, and Lex excused himself from the conversation briefly to grab the two plates, bringing them to the table with a smile at Angel. "Best damn pizza in town." There was just something about Italian sausage, green peppers, olives, and red onions that made the older man salivate.
"Despite the fact that I offered you a gig as a dancer, Angel - I'm actually what people might call A Good Person." Lex answered with a bit of a chuckle, biting into a slice, not speaking again before he'd finished chewing. "And Vegas is... it's called Sin City for more than one reason."
Because if a sober(ish) Lex mistook Angel for a girl, who knew what some drunk a*****e of a tourist would think? "Just call it a good deed, yeah? Makes the Big Man Upstairs happy."

Angel looked very sceptical at the claim, but shrugged and dug into his food, clearly starving. Still being a growing boy-- despite appearances-- and that meant he had the appetite of one.
"Huh. Well, whatever like, makes you tick I guess!" Angel licked grease off his fingers, looking more like a content dog than anything, clearly happy with the food.
"Haven't had pizza in like, years. My parents are opposed to processed meat, but pepperoni is like, the best."

"Blessed is one way to put it." Lex chuckled, finishing off his last slice of pie, as well as the pint of beer, resting a hand on his stomach. That'd keep him tied over until the boys in the kitchen were ready to close down; the perfect time to nab some about to be thrown out fries and a bacon burger. "It is nice, having a constant friend. Don't know what I'd do without her, to be honest."
Lex crinkled his nose, shaking his head at Angel. "Ugh, homeschool? What a bore." There were no cute girls at home school. And no parties. Seriously, Lex was becoming more and more glad Angel's parents had let him just explore Vegas.
"You should definitely come back to the city, when you can. Lots of exciting stuff here, y'know? Hard to get bored in a town like this."
It wasn't, really. The Strip was truly the only fun part.

Angel appropriated cooed over that, finding it simply adorable. "It's not so bad. I get a pretty boring standard education, just with, like, extra awesome classes on the side. I still have to learn math and politics and junk. I read Paradise Lost and all that, too."
He shrugged, and started looking towards the door. "Oh, I like, super will! I'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of each other, the universe is funny like that, you know? Praise be Asmodeus, for his tidings of fatestrings."
Dodging forward, Angel embraced Lex-- quite possibly against his will-- in a quick hug. "Thanks for the food and talking and junk! You're not so bad for a hella old guy, you know, but I should go now."
