It was almost two weeks since what had happened at the bank and while most of his wounds had healed, Malory was still slightly less enthusiastic about going out to collect energy than before. Which meant he was still going out to the same places, but in his more safely mundane form. In some ways he was still doing mostly the same things, too, just with fewer people passing out. Fewer. But still... He'd chosen one of the nicer, more exclusive clubs tonight. One with a strict list and serious attention to privacy, It made the place safer and more comfortable, but also much more accommodating for a dangerous level of indulgence. Mal closed the door with a sigh, leaving his friend to be discreetly tended to by club staff. It's a lot less fun when people pass out under natural causes and not cute little mirror ghosts. About to go back to the more public side of the club, he glanced back and caught sight of a familiar back, He knew that back! He would recognize that back anywhere! Probably! Turning back toward the hall of private rooms, Malory did a sneaky little jog toward the man and his partner, quietly approaching until he was right behind and draping himself over that familiar back, hands going over the other's eyes. "Guess who-OOO-ooo?" Mal sang out, forgetting that he was now much taller than when they'd last met and his voice had since changed.

He really couldn't believe his grandfather sending him here, something about shaping up and learning some responsibility, the only good thing about this whole mess was that he still had acess to the family money. Had he not Blaise was certain he'd never survive this drabe, boring, city and it's lack of anything really. That was what got him acess to the club he'd decided to grace with his presance tonight, because he needed some entertainment.
Thankfully his money, and his family name and power, held enough to get him onto the list of this club so he could come and go as he pleased from now on.
He'd turned up earlier, nearly two hours earlier, so he could drink and dance before heading to the private rooms with someone he'd found. They were good looking enough but he didn't do dating, why would he? He'd rather not deal with the attachment it brought with it, considering he really only was interested in one part of a relationship.
While heading towards the room he'd purchased for use, letting his soon to be congquest go ahead of him, he was surprised when someone hugged him from behind and suddenly he couldn't see. The voice...it seemed familiar enough. "Malroy...?" He only knew one person who would hug him in this way as well, his conquests even knew not to hug him like this or get so close to him.
Prying to hands from his eyes he turned his head to look at the other over his shoulder. "What are you doing here?" This was certainly not a planned meeting, or like in the past a planned vacation, so what had brought them both to the same city by such chance.

Bouncing on his toes, immediately more puppyish than most people ever saw, Mal grinned widely. "I live here! Since high school! Mom and Dad are still in Europe, Spain at the moment. But I'm here~!" A pause as his brain caught up with his glee at seeing Blaise, "Unless you mean here. I'm just having a good time with some friends." He beamed at the older boy who had become much like an older brother over the years and then looked past him, at the companion waiting at the door. Raising his eyebrows, grin turning cheeky, Mal asked, "So what are you doing here?"

"You love in this city? This drabe little city in the middle of no where?" He questioned shaking his head. This city wasn't near an ocean, had nothing really to it's name unlike New York, Paris, Milan, and other big cities. It was just a city...a random city in the United States. The only thing it had going for itself was that it had some size, and a good amount of people living here. It wasn't like some city in the absolute middle of nowhere in this country. "Spain, it's nice. Mine are in Italy at the moment, my grandfather sent me here" To this damnable city though now, staring at his friend, things might just be a bit better than he'd previously considered.
If Malory was living here than Blaise was certain this city wouldn't be so bad. He'd at least have someone to turn to for some spice to his life while living here, if other people didn't entertain him enough.
Looking back at the figure he shrugged his shoulders. "They'll do for tonight, and I don't think I need to explain certain things to you. You aren't a child anymore." Looking back to the younger.

The unimpressed attitude toward DC had Mal chuckling quietly. Blaise always had higher standards, but he was probably going to be in for some surprises when it came to this city. Giving Blaise's date a little wave, he pulled the other in for a big sloppy hug, whining, "But I'm always your little brother." Letting go he added, "I'll be here for a few hours if you want to meet up later?" He batted his eyes, looking a lot more pathetic and needy than he had any right to.

"Of course, I will always make time for you. If only I didn't think of you as a little brother." Winking at the other once, while poressing his lips to the others cheek. "You will be what makes this horrid city worth my time and light things up." He spoke honestly, if not a bit dramatically, as he stepped back. "You have been careful here tonight, and since you arrived in this city?"
The other knew how to take care of himself, of course he did, but Blaise was protective over the younger. Mal was like a younger brother to him, and always would be, so he had to deal with Blaise being protective over him - always. Although there had been the time or two, maybe a few more times really, when Blaise had ditched the other rather suddenly and by accident becaus something else, something exciting and new, had come up.

"Of course I have," Malory lied cheerfully. "I'm here in one piece, aren't I?" He spread his arms to present his whole self, no missing limbs and only a few little scars, well out of sight. Generally, Mal figured that what Blaise didn't know would hurt him and he liked the moments of concerned fussing tremendously. But in this case, maybe some of what Blaise didn't know, could hurt him. So for once, he gave the other a bit of fussing in turn, "This isn't the safest city at night. There's lots of wild animals and missing persons reported all the time. You shouldn't be out alone without a friend." Which was, perhaps, unnecessary. Since Blaise was good at surrounding himself with all sorts of companionship at night. For a moment, Mal felt playfully smug. He got to be one of the scary things at night to watch out for.

Rolling his eyes at the others answer he nodded his head, stepping aside to make room for two people to walk past him and down the hall. Looking over his shoulder, watching the couple walk into a room past his own, he felt a smile tug at his lips. "And what friend shall I get to keep my person safe?" he questioned turning his blue eyes back onto the other.
"You?" Smiling as he shifted his weight and looked his friend up and down, eyes slowly moving over the other. "I think I'm the one watching ove ryou most of the time. Though yes, I did hear this city isn't safe. But really is any city? Especially one in this country?" He really didn't like this country, it just lacked so much when compared to Europe it was astonishing if you asked him. It was no wonder he liked Europe and prefered to sight see close to home. It also was where his name had more power and he could find better looking people to take to bed with himself. The people to flirt with there were better also, they were better flirts and more worth his time. Here...it wasn't so. The quality wasn't here like it was back home.
"If you are to watch over me at night...what should I do with my evenings? I can't have you follow me out each night...with me when I take people off with me. I'll have to keep myself safe." Which he was fairly certain he could do. "Would you want texts to know I'm home safe my darling Mal?" Fluttering his eyes at his friend. He really couldn't help himself but flirt a bit with his friend, it was all in good fun and harmless as far as he was concerned.
"I'll meet you tonight, downstairs, for some drinks. I'll let you know I g ot home safe as well." He'd even text his address to the other. He would do whatever his friend wanted, provided he rememebred it all and nothing side tracked him. He could feel the pulse of music in the walls, his hand touching the wall, he could feel it still in his chest and the darkened hall with it's minimal lighting really did do something for him. If only his choosen bedmate was better...was more interesting. Maybe they'd prove themself. As it was the club downstairs was loud and could still be heard and felt as they stood here talking so casually.

"You would have to protect me," Mal nodded without a single ounce of shame. Interpreting Blaise's words as do you really want to cockblock me for safety, of all things, he decided not to push it beyond batting his eyes and answering, " Yes. Text me when you're home safe, and tell me about anything fun that happens." Most things probably wouldn't actually kill anybody here. Probably! And if he thought Blaise was ever in trouble, Lenka could save him. Taking a step back, he tilted his head toward the exit leading to the dance floor, "I'll be waiting tonight, though, So don't have too much fun." There was an absolutely bounce to his step when he turned to leave Blaise to his fun. Anybody in the club familiar with him would find that he seemed younger than usual, more energetic than the usual languid, gently debauched theatre boy that periodically haunted the scene.

"Mmm, I'm sure I would." He was sure he could protect Mal, he wouldn't let anything happen to the other. Turning to glance over his shoulder, to the figure waiting for him, he nodded and told them to head in - he'd be there in a moment.
Rolling his eyes at Mal, having turned his focus to him once more. "Good, I'll be down soon. I doubt it'll be that long; sadly." And then he'd join Mal down on the dance floor before heading home, at some point, where uppon arrival home he'd text the other and let him know he was safe and heading to bed.
Watching Mal head off he turned finally and headed off for tonights conquest.
