He nodded slightly as Arioch spoke. Arioch knew him well enough to know that whlist he did his fair share of 'interesting' things, his family was always kept out of his schemes. Despite what Arioch thought he was tempting Joe with, that had not changed.
For what felt like eternity, he thought about the offer in front of him and the implications. Finally, he accepted the glass and raised it slightly.
"to the future"

"To the future."
Raising it slightly he took a larger drink than he usually did with wine.
"Now..." He murmured, turning around to go find those created potions. Apparently, with Joe, Arioch kept them handy..alot of them handy.

Once Arioch had spoken, he too took a sip, thus sealing his fate.
It was quickly followed by him emptying the glass and as Arioch started hunting for potions, he started hunting for the next bottle of wine. Somehow, the entire deal unnerved him.

Arioch continued to search for his wanted potions, the female potion and the child bearing potion. Joe was going to need both in order to obtain Hannibal the way he wanted to.
"You won't be needing another bottle of wine unless you plan to treat this Hannibal to a dinner."

"I'll be needing a hell of a lot more than just a bottle of wine"
He pointed out casually. His hope was to get drunk right now, then look back at the deal later and decide that it could all be blamed on him not being in his right state of mind.

"Not for his type, Joe love. He requires a sophisticated state of mind as well as seduction."
He plucked the needed potions and walked back to Joe, grinning.

He shook his head.
"Not for him, for me"
He had an idea of how to get near Hannibal, he just didn't want to deal with reality at this point in time.

"hmmm....fine. Just don't get too drunk..."
He offered him the potions and wine.
"Oh before you take the potions, make sure your alcohol free. It'll counteract both of them and that's not in the plan."

"and the immortality thing?"
He asked, accepting the potions and stashing them on his body before indulging in the wine.

"Have I told you that I love you?"
He asked, downing the glass of wine. Effectively, Arioch had just given him a way out of their agreement. All it took was a little alcohol and he'd be immortal without the side effects. Not that he would scam Arioch in such a manner, it was just nice to know that he could.

((Part 2))
Hannibal was sitting in his study with a text book in his lap, going over notes and listening to classical music. The light was dim enough to be nice but bright enough so he could read. His eyes seemingly glowed red in the light.
He flipped a page and started reading the next one, his mind in three places: The book, the music, and that pony who hit on him.

Joe had used his time wisely. First, he got himself completely drunk. Then, he had scrawled a note to remind himself to blame the alcohol on the future, and finally, he had decided that going for a random walk was a good idea.
The random walk though, carried him right into Hannibal's range. Once he became aware of that, he stopped walking and stared at Hannibal, swaying a bit.
"classy.. sexy.. and no taste in music.. "
He stated after a while.

"A better taste in music then you do deaths. Perhaps something a little more for your timely death?"
Hannibal suggested, whether he was serious about killing Joe though was not understood.
