Baz looked up towards the other for a few moments before placing his hand under their own in a way to support it. He began to act as if he were studying their palm intently, looking for any signs of the future. "It looks like everything gets better from here on out…once you meet a dark, curly-haired man in a cafe and he decides to buy you coffee since you already finished your own," Baz explained, a small grin crossing his lips as he looked up towards the other. It wasn't the future exactly, though he was planning to buy the other coffee anyways. It was just a way for Baz to start a conversation with Luno.
Luno’s eyes widened a tad at that before beginning to laugh softly. “You think so?” he asked, smiling as he realized what the other had done
"Oh, I know so. The palm never lies," Baz answered, a lopsided grin crossing his lips as he looked towards the other man. He rummaged through his pocket and got some cash out before getting up with a quick, 'be right back,' realizing that he still needed to buy the other coffee. After a few moments, he returned with the mocha that the other seemed to have earlier, setting it down in front of them.
Luno's eyes widened as the other set the coffee in front of him, and it took him a moment to register that he had put it in front of him instead of himself. "What…What are you doing?" he asked softly, golden eyes wide in disbelief
"Buying you coffee. I mean, that's what the future holds anyways," Baz replied with a small shrug, chuckling lightly as the other looked at him with wide eyes. "Oh, and I'm Baz by the way," he added, realizing that he hadn't even introduced himself before.
"U-Um. Luno," he mumbled, introducing himself quickly. He looked back and forth between the coffee and Baz, still trying to comprehend why he had bothered with being nice to him
"You should probably drink it before it gets cold," Baz spoke up, a small smile crossing his face as he watched Luno look at the coffee with disbelief. He usually wasn't this kind or open to others, but Luno looked like he needed someone to talk to.
"Thank you," Luno stammered, giving Baz a sort of small bow before taking the coffee. He began to sip it sheepishly, his gaze fixed on the table beneath him as he struggled to comprehend why the other was being so nice to him
"How long have you lived here?" Baz asked, looking towards Luno curiously as he took a few sips from his own coffee. It had gotten a bit cold, but he didn't necessarily mind.
"Um…not long," Luno murmured. He reached up with one hand, running it through his fluffy white hair out of habit. Doing so exposed the bruise that was now decently dark beneath his eye, though he didn't seem to notice
"I own a bar down the road called the Urban Seraph." He said. "We got a built-in tattoo parlour in there too." He added, rolling up the sleeve of his coat to reveal a full sleeve tatto with various surreal things going on, centered around a red and turquoise Asiatic dragon, which serves to connect the various motifs and as the focal point.
"I've got tattoos, but I don't think I'd be allowed to show them in public. But I tend to show people this one…" she pulled down her leggings a little bit to reveal a love bird on her hip bone
"I can relate to that." Durbin chuckled, pulling up the hem of his thermal, to show her the tattoo of the Japanese kanji for 'Grace' on his obliques.
"Grace huh. Ex or a setimental meaning?" she asked, pulling back up her pants
"It's something I lost." He said, adjusting his suitcase. He pulled his phone out.
Lol Adrik is just working at the restaurant so I have nothing to write//
"Sentimental" she hummed, closing down her computer. "I was thinking of getting a tattoo at somepoint…"
"Um…not long," Luno murmured. He reached up with one hand, running it through his fluffy white hair out of habit. Doing so exposed the bruise that was now decently dark beneath his eye, though he didn't seem to notice
"Same. My friend got me an apartment near here, so I spend most of my time in it," Baz answered, noticing the bruise under Luno's eye, though he didn't ask any questions.
"Of what? If I may ask." Durbin wondered, putting his phone away.
"I just enjoy the thrill, I would have to decide when I got there"
"I don't usually stay in one place for too long, though I've been here for some time now," Luno said as he sipped his drink. He thought back to the last boyfriend he had been living with, and how he had hurt him before kicking him out
"Careful you don't get too carried away, that can go some pretty bad places." He mused.
"I don't usually stay in one place for too long, though I've been here for some time now," Luno said as he sipped his drink. He thought back to the last boyfriend he had been living with, and how he had hurt him before kicking him out
Baz nodded, pausing to think of questions to ask Luno. Conversations had never been his strong point, but he was going to put some effort into this one since Luno seemed quite nice already. "What places have you been to already?" He asked.
"Um…I used to live in the mountains a long ways from here. But I've been all over the world, pretty much," Luno said, taking another sip of his coffee after he spoke
"I don't normally do, that's how I got two of my peircings that way, and…closer…people seem to like it just fine" she replied, biting her lip slightly
"You don't look like the type who would, although I never judge a book by the cover." He exclaimed, taking out a tiny bottle of aged Brandy, and pouring some of it into his coffee.
"I never look like the type to be rebellious, do I?" she hummed, taking out a small bottle of vodka and pouring some in her cup
"I never said that." Durbin replies amicably. He stashed his bottle.
"Wanna show me your parlour?" she asked, placing her computer in her bag beside her
"Sure." Durbin shoots, walking out the door, waiting for her to follow.
"I'm Durbin, by the way." He says, extending a hand.
"Alexis" she replied, taking his hand
