Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You know-" Kirus said, standing and collecting their empty glasses "I think you're more powerful than you give yourself credit for" he finished, turning with the glasses clenched between his fingers as he returned them to the bar, his hair swinging a little as he turned more precicly than he needed to, but then he always had been a showman.
He clicked the glasses back onto the polished surface of the bar with a nod at the tender, and a small pefuctionary smile. It was true, he thought back to when he had first met Seti, in a small meanlingless bar, the air had changed as soon as the demon had walked through the door, and had crackled a little more with every step closer that Seti had taken, it couldnt all be inner power coming from Loki.

((darn I hate it when that happens- no worries!))

"hey"
Kirus said softly, from his place behind Seti, having moved back from the bar and passing behind the other, he had stopped finding him in an apparent thought bubble, trapped within the cloud, a storm coming.
He let his hand rest on Seti's shoulder for a moment, no heat transfered through his leather gloves. He really forgot anyone else was even alive some days.
"you are the strong one. Trust a person who knows about these things" he went on, before walking round Seti, his hand sliding with him as he sunk into his wing back chair, allowing his softened gaze to harden once more into his public face as he patted the other's shoulder once in a typically manly gesture of comfort.

As Kirus sat opposite Seti, he watched the play of emotions, or rahter lack of emotions, dance across the demon's face, when his eyes fell shut, Kirus felt like he knew that gesture intimatly, had used it more than once himself.
He leant forward to cup his hand around one side of Seti's neck, he didnt ask him to look at him, only leaned a little closer so as he could talk lowly to him.
"Seti. Trust me, I've been here before, you must believe you are stronger to be stronger. I'm not telling you to fight or even asking you to, all I ask is that you believe in yourself, believe in what I do- isnt that what friends do hmm? Suspend their disbelief so as they can trust in their companions judgement?"

"I will try" echoed the vampire with a small smile, like they held some kind of inside joke. Perhaps from now they would, telling each other at strange times that they "will try". Those things were more human he supposed shaking his head a little, still allowing the smile that tugged at his lips to linger.
He gave the flesh under his palm a small squeeze, feeling the pulse under his palm beat out, though he could not tell its rhythm- he had no way of knowing what Seti's normal pulse was anyway, even if he did want to track it. He just hoped in the back of his mind that it was calm.
It was strange to be friends with another male once again. He had had friends before of course, still had, people he could rely on when he needed, though it had been a while since he had been aquainted with them- only Dark who he met with regularily, and a female friend was at times so much different to a male.
He wasnt sure why, the conversation was usually the same, the presence just as companionable, there was just something in the aura that felt different.

He shook his head again, once more he was getting away from himself in thought.
He gave Seti's neck one last squeeze before dropping his hand to pat Seti's knee.
"forgive me, I was lost a moment there, more and more often I seem to drift into stray thoughts that I cant control- but then, perhaps it is the drink"
his smile turned a little wry. He hoped to lighten the mood a little, they couldnt dwell all evening on present evils.

Kirus allowed a small smile to grace his lips at the thought and mention of friendship and caring, but said no more on the matter- there was no need nor no reason to say anything, so he did not.
Instead he allowed that small smile to evolve into a full on grin, malicious and knowing.
"I cursed all drink long ago and yet still I am the cursed one!"
and as if almost to reinstate or possibly defy his own words he had raised a slender hand and cocked it at the bar tender, before extending two long fingers to issue an order for a double order. It was never any good to drink alone.

"it is true, I am cursed with much and many are cursed with me" he quipped, the words slipping easily from his mouth, easy words, easy banter. He was glad it was so easy to talk to Seti, he became so much more uncivil when conversation became difficult. Not everything had to be a game anymore, in some ways, it seemed almost normal- though he knew they would always spar with words, each of them was too much of a card not to.
Kirus nodded to the bartender as he brought the drinks to them, the young human was male and dark, his jet hair curling close to his head and wet with gel, that shined in the low light as he bent down to set a drink before Seti and Kirus. "house special" he explained.
"thank-you" Kirus answered, tucking a tip wrapped in a red silk handkercief into the boy's waistcoat pocket.

Once her beer came she pushed it over to snow quickly, she hated acohol, it was replusive in her eyes. Snow gratefully lapped up the golden looking liquid a secret connection going through them, a link of two minds. Yuffie looked up at the stage her eyes glittering off the low lights. What she saw she didnt like the womans voice was whiny and to high pitched. She sighed and looked questioningly at snow the large wolf nodded his head as she got up. walking through the sea of cherry wood tables until she was standing in front of the stage. she motioned for the woman to get off and that she wanted a turn. The woman understood and almost imediately scurried off.

Seti watched the bartender. He looked him all over. His hunger was getting the best of him, his tail flicking from side to side wildly as flesh of the bartender came by. Though he didn't do a thing, he wouldn't kill a man that brought drinks to him, those where always special.
He let his eyes roam around the bar, at the people there. By now his stomac was growling loudly. His loss of energy was also a reason he was getting hungry fast now. He looked at Kirus and then at the drink, smiling lightly.
