log 2 || let's have a drink [closed]

[sweettalk]

Who: Anders Johnson (sweettalk) & Alex Millar (frothing).
What: After a first contact through video, Anders and Alex meet for a drink.
When: Day 355, late afternoon.
Where: The Roadhouse.
Rating: PG-13 to R.

[Anders promised a date to Gaia but it is with Alex that he wants to spend some time for now. The Scottish young woman seems fun and fun is what Anders needs.

As often as possible.

So this is why he now wanders into Hel House, knocking at her door. Let's hope she didn't forget that meeting... date... thing.]

[frothing]

It is, isn't it?

[ her interest is piqued.] Your mother produces vodka?

[sweettalk]

Yes...

She did ! She was quite a productive business woman. [And Freya's reincarnation.]

[frothing]

[ her smile stays cheeky at the talk of snogging but she lets the subject change as she orders herself a drink from the bartender.]

So did you work for her or...?

[sweettalk]

[He thoughtfully considers the glass of scotch the barman just left in front of him.]

We kinda did, for a bit, before she died. [More like was murdered.] I have my own PR agency though.

[frothing]

Oh. [ having been dead herself, she knows that... well, it's awful.] I'm sorry...

[sweettalk]

Thank you, I guess. [He offers her a small smile.] We were separated for a long time, it's sad it ended this way, especially for my younger brother

[frothing]

I know it's not the same but my mum left me and my brothers. Being someone's kid isn't always easy.

[sweettalk]

Yeah... Both my parents abandoned us but I'm not sure it would have been better if they had stayed...

[He clings his glass to hers.] Let's drink to dysfunctional families...

[frothing]

And to making our own. [ Because Tom and Hal were her new family even if Hal wasn't here. Let's not think about that when she's got this perfectly handsome and snoggable fellow sitting right in front of her. She clinks her glass to his once more before taking a nice, long sip.]

[sweettalk]

Yeah, to making our own... [He doesn't think he'll ever have his own family though. Being in Asgard made him realize how lonely he was. Sad, isn't it ?

He offers a small smile and gulps down his drink before asking the barman for a second one.]

So... How's life going for you in lovely Asgard ?

[frothing]

It's goin' I suppose. [ she gulps down her own drink to keep up, after all, it's nice to be able to have booze at all.]

[sweettalk]

That's good... I believe it's more easy when there's others from our worlds too.

[frothing]

Do you have anyone from home?

[sweettalk]

Yeah... There's this girl, Gaia... Maybe you know her ?

[frothing]

I haven't met too many people yet.

[sweettalk]

I guess you'd like her. She's... My brother's girlfriend.

[frothing]

You sound a little unsure about that.

[sweettalk]

Well... It's a very complicated story.

[frothing]

Good complicated or bloody awful complicated?

[sweettalk]

Second option, of course. It pretty much fucked up my whole family's life.

[frothing]

That... does not sound very good. [ she watches his face for a moment.] I suppose it's one of those things you don't really want to talk about. Not first date material?

[sweettalk]

No... [Anders waves to the barman to get another drink.] You're right... I don't think it's date material at all.

So... You think we'll have a second one ?

[frothing]

Depends on how good the snogging is. [ she's teasing of course, a smile curving her lips that's nothing but cheeky.]

But I'd say your chances are good.

[sweettalk]

Well... No one ever complained about my snogging skills... [He winks and takes a sip of his drink.]

Then maybe we could try some dinner ?

[frothing]

[ that cheeky smile stays on her lips.] That sounds brilliant to me.
