[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?

[detectivedwloki]

I feel I'd be gambling at a rigged game.

[But he chuckles softly and goes to sit by Belial.]

[varnish]

What’s life without a little risk taking~?

[Once they’re seated together, he slips his sunglasses off then banishes them away with a wave of his hand. They disappear in a wisp of smoke to who-knows-where.]

So.

[With his elbow propped up on the backrest of the couch and cheek pressed to his hand, he turns to face David more directly.]

Why do you have a hard time finding partners?

[detectivedwloki]

[He looks away, sighs and rubs his face.]

I guess I'm not very open to just... jumping into sex.

[varnish]

More of a sensitive guy? Prefer to make connections first?

[He doesn’t sound judgmental, just genuinely curious.]

[detectivedwloki]

I've never been good that those.

The combination is why I haven't made many firm connections.

I don't like to rely on other people.

[varnish]

Sounds like trust issues.

[And yet he still comes out for coffee and a chat in someone else’s home.]

Or perhaps... self depreciation.

[detectivedwloki]

A bit of both.

[He admits. Belial wasn't a total stranger, even if he also didn't completely trust him.]

I didn't think I was here for a psychoanalysis.

[varnish]

You’re not here for jumping into sex either, apparently.

[He tilts his head.]

If you want to admire me all evening though, I won’t say no~

[detectivedwloki]

I don't think that will help with the quota.

[He chuckles.]

We can do... something ... sexual. Were you really expecting me to just rip off your clothing as soon as we got inside?

[varnish]

Let’s just say that isn’t an uncommon practice in this house.

[Belial chuckles as well.]

There isn’t an unblessed surface to be seen~

[Does that count this couch? Probably.]

[detectivedwloki]

Do you think that's a selling point?

[At least the house does look clean...]

[varnish]

Is it doing anything for you~?

[Doesn't care if it isn't or not, of course]

[detectivedwloki]

I'd prefer not to think about who else you've been doing around here.

[varnish]

[He scoots in a bit closer.]

So you’d rather think about me doing you, huh.

[detectivedwloki]

I'm not here for other people.

[He confirms, reaching out to brush a thumb across Belial's jaw.]

[varnish]

Who knows? Maybe you stopped by to meet my snake~

[He tips his head a bit into that touch and brushes his lips against David’s palm.]

[detectivedwloki]

Oh, yeah...

[He leans back, looks around, alert for danger.]

Where is that snake of yours anyway?

[varnish]

Nearby.

[He smirks.]

I can introduce you... though I suppose by now you’ve been acquainted before~

[detectivedwloki]

I'd rather we weren't suddenly interrupted by any long venomous creatures.

[varnish]

Don't be silly. It's not venomous.

... Super lengthy though.

[No, he's definitely not talking about a snake.]

[detectivedwloki]

Oh, I bet it is.

[varnish]

Still wanna see it?

[detectivedwloki]

If you want to give me a tour.
