Welcome to Gaia! ::

Grey areas her a**! Stupid little sonofabitch! Oh, and how he was saying she looked OLD? MOTHER F-

"Heart, you say?" The contact made her skin crawl. Being so close to Titus made her feel unpleasant, as if he was covered in parasites and just touching him would infest her too. In a way, perhaps, he was. "You and I both know you don't have a heart." They say flattery will get you everywhere. Well, Riyo was about to test that theory. One of her dainty hands reached up to run a finger down the length of his horn. "You're as devious and evil as they come. The lowest of lowlifes. Dirtier than mud. Why, I bet one look at you sends scarelings crying to their mommies." Since Titus hated being called a gentleman, the feline figured everything opposing that would just tickle him pink. Ohh, it would be too rich if this worked. Just too rich.

On the inside, Riyo was dying.

Dying from laughter.

Oh, would you look at him? It was as if she'd just given a child one giant lollipop to suck on, and he'd willingly taken the bait. "Oh, Titus. I've always known about your 'talents'. It's just taken me this long to admit it." ahahah, it was like a fun little game. How far could the boil shove his head up his own a**?

"Alas.." Now was the time to put the real plan into action. Raising the back of her hand to her forehead, she practically fell into the boil. "I would continue finding synonyms for your slyness, but I am drunk, and the smell of man sweat is getting to me." Could she trick him into asking her on a date? Eh, it was a long shot. Riyo wasn't really drunk. Her cheeks were a little rosy, but she was far from being as inebriated as she was acting. "Oh, I should not have had that last martini. Shame on me."

It was working. IT WAS WORKING. IT-

Woah wait a minute what the hell had just happened? Riyo actually had to throw her arms out to catch herself that time, figuring the nightmare demon would be stupid to pull away. Well, yeah. She should've figured. He WAS pretty stupid.

The ghoul's ears fell back against her head as she shot the boil a confused look, holding back a pout with all her might. That wasn't fair! A second ago he had practically been eating out of her hand, and at the drop of a hat he just moved away? Had it been something she said? No, couldn't have been. She'd been careful with her words. Hadn't she?

Riyo folded her arms and glanced back to the bar with the desire to drown the feeling of failure in her soul. It looked like she was going to head that way, too, but something waved a flag to get her attention.

"Wait. You said we could go somewhere else?" The feline stepped forward to close the gap he'd just made between them. "Will you take me somewhere that's NOT a gay bar?"

Sweet Jack stop calling me kitty cat...

To have the wolf following him in his retreat, slow as it was, made his hackles raise. He glanced around in a growing panic, looking for the person he knew he wasn't going to see.

Despite wanting to strangle Nuk for not answering his text, Deacon was never telling him how this went down. At least not this much of it.

"Don't get your hopes up, fuzzy. I'm here to meet a skinwalker, not some common wolf."

That had been a bit cold, but Deacon didn't care. He wasn't here for this bullshit. This guy was a very unwelcome distraction from what he was really here for.

And he just so happened to bump into that reason in his attempt to retreat, without risking to turn his back on the flirtatious wolf.

Titus shrugged. That was about the only reply Riyo was going to get. She seemed to have an eye for the truth but Titus wasn't going to back up her already solid theory. "When did I ever say you were weak?" Titus mused with a smile. "I don't recall those words ever leaving my lips." He was about to follow the demoness out the door but she had stopped.

Quirking a brow at Riyo, Titus looked passed her to the feline boil who happened to run into her. There was something subtle in her reaction and Titus tried to read it. Dread? Fear? Nervousness? It was so small it was hard to say but he was amused non the less when she turned on the boil with a few cruel words. So he wasn't the only one on Riyo's s**t list. He would just have to make sure he was number one.

"A friend of your's, Princess?"

"Common? I'm not common," The wolf scoffed. "What's so good about a mangy skinwalker anyway?" The wolf began to back up and leave then more than a little offended.

Watching Riyo walk off in a hurry Titus turned to Deacon and gave a non to subtle thumbs up before he started to back out of the room. "Au revoir, a*****e." With a mock salute Titus was heading out the door behind Riyo, his longer strides easily able to keep up with the crippled feline.

He paused when they came to the elevator, smiling as he leaned against the wall waiting for it to arrive. "You seem a little frazzled, Ms. Boil. Did the tom cat back there manage to burrow under your skin further than I have?" If so he was going to have to up the ante. Bring on his A game.

"If I really wanted to hurt you, I would have," Titus said casually with a bit of a scoff. "You think its hard to play nice? If there is one thing I can do it's lie but something of that measure takes far too much work and time. I'm just in this for the fun." He enjoyed watching people squirm the most if he managed to hurt them in the process, hey bonus! Otherwise he wasn't going to put the effort in. It was far too much commitment and Titus was not a commitment kind of guy.

That smile never left the demon's face when Riyo said the tom cat had merely caught her off guard. No, that wasn't it. Titus could tell by her reaction alone. Deacon had earned himself a special notation next to his name on Riyo's s**t list. Oh how delightful. It made Titus very curious.

When the door to the elevator dinged Titus stepped inside and hit the button for the ground floor. That done he leaned against the wall and waited for the elevator to descend. He said nothing more about the tabby but he looked to be thinking when Riyo asked where they were going.

"I think I have a place in mind. You should have a fair chance," He rolled his eyes at the idea since she was making such a fuss about it. "And you'll be glad to know its far enough we need to take a cab."
