[varnish]

You’re not just saying that because you’re admiring my eyes, are you~?

[He bats his eyelashes to emphasize his words.]

[detectivedwloki]

[That seems to fluster him and he blinks a few times; looks away.]

No.

[varnish]

[Cute.]

You’re right though~ I adore it.

[It’s the color of the apocalypse, of course. His voice dips.]

Have I ruined the mood, detective?

[detectivedwloki]

That depends what sort of mood you were trying for.

[He still doesn't look up; drinks the rest of his coffee.]

[varnish]

Nothing deep, of course. I like to ease my way in before I get too involved.

[Yes. Just full of innuendo today. And always.]

I’m only trying to loosen you up a bit. You’re so tense~

[detectivedwloki]

So you want to help me relieve that tension?

[varnish]

[He leans forward just a touch.]

Of course. Just call me your little guardian angel~

[detectivedwloki]

Then maybe we should go somewhere more private.

[varnish]

That didn’t take much at all, did it?

[He stands from his seat with a stretch, more to show off than anything else.]

You must be backed up pretty bad~

[detectivedwloki]

[He shrugs, gives a sheepish smile.]

I ran out of coffee.

[varnish]

Not strong enough for you, huh.

[He tips his sunglasses back down to cover his eyes before stepping to the side.]

How’s about we get you something that’ll keep you up all night then~?

[detectivedwloki]

Why do I get the feeling the innuendoes haven't stopped?

[He gets up, ready to follow Belial's lead. He knows he can't take Belial back to Tim's place, due to a clause in that contract.]

[varnish]

What can I say? I’m a generous man~

[He heads out the cafe and holds the door open behind him before he steps out onto the sidewalk. Nice and cool out here. Less bright too.]

My place isn’t far from here. I could give you the grand tour~

[detectivedwloki]

[David nods.]

I'd like to see it.

[varnish]

You’ll love it. I’m quite the interior designer, you know.

[And off he goes, leading the way with a sway in his step.]

[detectivedwloki]

I'm sure you have a unique style.

[He can't help but glance that way as Belial walks.]

[varnish]

Wonder what gave that away.

[The walk continues like this for a short while, with Belial tossing more innuendo to keep the conversation spicy and just the right amount of uncomfortable, until finally his townhome comes up on the right. He pushes open the small black gate to ascend the steps and push open the front door. A shame his Dominant won’t be around. He would have liked to see that drama unfold.]

Does your Dominant not allow company over?

[detectivedwloki]

[David is observing of all his surroundings, ever mindful of being lured into a trap. That wasn't even a suspicion against Belial. That was just his usual mindset. Always needing to be alert of dangers. It didn't mean he always picked up on said dangers though.]

He's very picky about who knows where he lives.

[David answers about Tim, who didn't want anyone not human to be told his address. As if that kept him safe... The dangers were outside anyway.]

And even if we were to bring somebody over, I'd have to contact him first and it'd be all a big thing. So this is easier.

[varnish]

Sounds like he needs to loosen up too~

[Belial chuckles and without warning or concern he reaches behind to grab David’s wrist so he can tug him pats the foyer. Despite the dark walls and grotesque interior design, the home is neat and well put together. Perhaps not as inviting as other places, but, you know. It’s clearly his style.]

What d’you think the odds are he’ll join us sometime for a little rendezvous~?

[detectivedwloki]

Hey!

[There's a mild, startled protest when he's grabbed but is seemed to not be an aggressive move so he allows it.]

I don't think so. I'm afraid he has some issues with anyone who's not human.

[And Belial is clearly and self-admittedly something else.]

[varnish]

[If he doesn't grab, then David will slouch and hang behind. Can't have that.]

Hohh? Why's that?

[detectivedwloki]

Bad experiences in the past.

I can't tell you more about that.

[varnish]

Odd thing. He’s missing out, you know.

[He stops right beside the sunroom in the back and steps in so they can walk amongst the natural light and flourishing plants. It all seems to stand in stark contrast to the rest of the house... save for the couple of headless angel statues that stand nearby.]

We angels know how to have a good time~

[detectivedwloki]

[David shrugs.]

It's his choice. It shouldn't concern us.

[As in, it's not his business so he's not going to argue with Tim about it. David glances around, spots the statues.]

Maybe you have too good a time?

[varnish]

Won’t concern you, no. You are human, after all.

[Belial, on the other hand, will gladly look into it by nosing around where he shouldn’t. Anyway, releasing David’s hand, Belial moves to slide into a spot on one of the nearby couches and pats the empty seat beside him.]

Wanna bet?
