8, I hope you don't mind

((ooc: I also made some adjustments with the scenario. Oops. OTL Please just tell me if you want me to change anything. Thanks!)

[Antonio doesn't quite know what it is about the man sitting in front of him, but he's caught his attention. It's a slow night in this little bar he's taken the time to do some bartending for and there's really nothing new about the clientele. The man seems like a type of customer they always get, the one looking to drown his sorrows in alcohol, so what is it that drew Antonio's attention?]

[Maybe it's how sorrow practically seems to seep out of him, in how he's hunched over as if he's carrying the world on his shoulders. It's a sorry sight and it pulls at the Spaniard's heart strings. No one should ever look that sad and so Antonio approaches him]

Is there anything else you would like, Señor?

[He asks it out of genuine concern. This is probably a common and expected question from bartenders, but Antonio is really concerned about his customer]

I most certainly do not mind! :D

[baschliiives]

[The day got off to a bad start and it only progressed in a downward spiral. And on days like this, Basch often thought of him. Despite their poor history, the golden haired knight couldn't help but wonder why things had to end the way they did.]

[After running out of vodka at home, he wandered the streets for a while until he ended up at this pub. He was deep in his cups when he noticed a man approaching him. His voice seemed sweet and soft, kind of like a pastry; and whether it be the spirits in his belly or the spirit in the gutter, he replied honestly.]

What I'd like is... [In his drunkenness, he searchea for the words.] Companionship, I suppose.

Yay :D

[si_espana]

[The answer makes him blink in surprise. Of course, alcohol loosens tongues, but that doesn't mean it always inspires honesty. Antonio can somehow sense that the man before him is being honest and it draws him all the more. He looks around at the bar and finds it mostly empty. Then again it's almost time to close]

I can stay with you a while, if you like. Would you like to talk about whatever it is that's troubling you?

[The owner is quite easygoing about closing up and he trusts Antonio to do a good job of everything, even if the Spaniard does tend to be flighty and forgetful at times. He can keep the bar open for a little while more for this particular customer who seems to need it. It doesn't matter to him that this man is practically a stranger. He's always talking to strangers anyway, given his occupation]

[baschliiives]

[Sighing, Basch rests his head on the bar.]

Idiocy. That's what bothers me. The man I loved betrayed me and now he's dead. Feels like years ago it was, yet it feels fresh in my heart as the day it happened. This on top of everything today, it...

[He sighs again and turns his head over.]

What was it all for? Why did it end that way?

[si_espana]

[That's... Well, that's quite a lot to take in. His lover betrayed him? His lover is dead? Antonio certainly didn't expect anything like that. That explains the cloud of gloom descending over the other man]

I'm sorry to hear that happened. [And he sighs and refills the man's glass. He needs it anyway] And I wish I could answer your questions, really.

apologies for the late tag-back

[baschliiives]

As do I. That someone could answer them, not just you. [Sighing, Basch takes another sip of his drink.]

No worries!

[si_espana]

[He looks up and finds the bar mostly empty. Well, that's good. He wanders away for a moment and soon comes back with a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Another few moments pass before he sits down beside the stranger. He really doesn't know what to say anymore. It seems completely inappropriate to say something unfailingly optimistic, which he would do most of the time. Having only one person to focus on makes Antonio more tactful than usual]

((OoC: This is a courtesy comment that I will be dropping all of my threads on LiveJournal, as I am moving to Dreamwidth. I thoroughly enjoyed RPing with you but I can tolerate LJ's inane policies no more. Dw is having open account creation until the end of the year, and I urge you to make an account for all your characters and join me and many others in leaving if you can. Thank you and have a lovely day.))
