I sat quietly in my usual booth in the back corner of the lounge, the sound dampening privacy curtain still open, considering the noise in the Lounge was muted to a dull roar for now. I picked up my glass of bloodwine, knowing I'd surprised the bartender who'd already had my usual, burbon on the rocks, waiting for me, but as I put it to my lips to sip from the delicate glass a thought struck me and I sent a message to someone I hadn't seen in quite awhile Alexander, could you meet me in the lounge, I'd like to speak with you my voice was steady in the message, but still somehow uncertain

The sound of Pachabels Cannon in D played in the background. He sat in his living room with the company of fine music and a book in his hands. His spacious apartment was simple and clean perfect for the way he kept his life style. His arms rested on his lap as he kept his leg crossed. Turning the pages to his book you could hear the crisp from where the pages were barely turned for the first time. Just as he began to read he heard a familiar voice in his head. Looking up he placed his book mark in the book and set it down on the coffee table right next to his cup of black tea. ”Well isn’t this a surprise” he said as he smirked.
It was Dri wanting to speak to him. Alexander was really curious as to what this was about. He had not run into his childe recently. He shook his head and stood up ”Guess I can’t keep this meeting waiting” he said in a low tone. Grabbing his cup of tea he drank the contents in the cup and walked toward the kitchen to set his cup in the sink. Making his way to the door he grabbed his jacket off the coat rack along with a light scarf. As he wrapped the scarf around his neck he grabbed the keys to his bike and opened the door. Stepping outside he shut the door behind him and proceeded toward his bike.
Turning on the engine he made his way toward the pub he assumed Dri would be at. His bike roared as he pushed on the gas and drove off into the city streets. In a matter of minutes he was at the pub. Getting off his bike he parked it where it would be visible and walked into the pub. His blue eyes wandered around as he searched for his body around the several torsos in the pub. Spotting him he walked up to him. His face was collected no smirk and no smile as he stood in front of him. ”You wanted to see me?” he asked as he sat down in front of him.

I ordered another glass of wine as I waited, having finished off my first rather quickly; I found myself somewhat missing the effect alchohol had had on me as a mortal, no longer able to get truly affected by it unless I drank a drunk person's blood. I stood up momentarily to take off the ong white overcoat I'd been wearing against the night's chill seeing as in the lounge it was quite comfortably warm, and I'd just sat back down in my freshly revealed lavender dress shirt and black slacks as Alex appeared and greeted me "Indeed I did" I said, waiving a waitress over to take his order and rezuesting the check be sent to me "I was hoping we could bury the hatchet, so to speak, and leave our old animosities behind us, seeing as we're destined to be family regardless of what happens it seems" I said, my mouth curving into the slightest smiles before continuing "I understand I undoubtedly have qualities or quirks that rub against the grain with you, as you do with me, but we really must try to see past that and act like the family we're eventually to be again, I realize I let the situation skyrocket out of control, nearly entirely through my own fault, but I wasn't in the best control of my faculties back then" I said, my face echoing my feeling of shame about that time before I wiped it clear and looked at him, my eyes still conveying the truthfulness of what I'd said, and my hope and willingness for the rift between us to be mended again

Alexander's hands rested on the table as Dri began to speak. His reason for asking Alexander to meet him seemed to bring and uneasy feeling. He couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. "Family? Who ever said family had to like each other?" he asked in a low tone. His eyes wandered over to the waitress and he lifted his hand only to shake his head.
He was not in the mood to drink and he did not see this as a reason to possibly celebrate. The reason why he was here was still un presented to him. He saw no reason for him to meet up with Dri just to make up, but since he was here he might as well allow it. "So you are the type to just forgive and forget?" he asked as he cocked his head to the right.
His blue eyes were now on Dri. His full attention as well. Alexander leaned forward and smiled "Dont think for a minute that me forgiving will get you off the hook. " he said sharply. His tone was semi harsh as he narrowed his eyes at Dri and awaited an response.

I wouldn't say forgive and forget no, bt when I forgive someone somthing I no longer hold it against them" I said "I've admitted, I messed up, in a very large way, you had your way of doing things and I had mine, and we clashed. Aloth of that clash was my fault for not understanding that you were trying to help me, but in a way I wasn't used to, I took it as a challenge to my authority the way you did things, event though I shouldn't have, you were my brother, you had every right to try and help my childer along if you saw they needed help and I wasn't there or didn't notice it... But I just.. I suppose I took that as you trying to take them away from me, and that upset me, mostly because my childer are very precious to me, in a way they're all I had at some times in my unlife" I managed to keep my voice from breaking at the end of that statement, remembering the interminable emptiness after I'd been severed from the Xeneris and before I'd been adopted by Viral, the time when all there was to keep me going was caring for my childer "As for famiily liking eachother, noone says they have to, but I infinitely prefer being freindly with my family rather than adversarial" I said, finishing up and sitting back, his tone had been harsh, but he was very well entitled to that after the way I'd treated him, so I let it pass with minimal notice

Alexander raised an eyebrow at Dri's rambling. He could not help but look confused at what exactly he was talking about. Was there something he had missed. He settled back in his chair as he looked at him. Parting his lips he stopped as Dri continued once more this time on a comment Alexander had made.
Finding his final pause he began to speak. "Exactly what are we talking about?" he asked as he looked at him. He shifted a bit on his seat as he rested his hand on the table. Feeling the woods rings under his fingertips he let out a small sight. "If you are referring to when I had spoken to your cocky childe then yes you should apologize. If you did not want anyone telling you how to take care of your childe then be more paternal with them" he said as he shook his head. He could not believe he was going to pick up on the past.
Alexander did not want to talk about the silly boy. It was the least of his worries now. After they were not siblings. Family but not by close blood. "Your childe should have more respect for himself and the bloodline. As for friendly I guess I can be okay with that, but don't think for a minute I am in good terms with your childe." he stated as he looked at Dri.

I smirked a bit as he mentioned being freindly with Akane "Don't worry, Akane's a big boy and has his own friends just as I have mine, your relationship with him is hust that, the relationship between you two, not something I should invove myself in unless it comes to blows" I replied "As for how I raise my childer, I'll happily take advice, but please, if you want me to seriously consider it, don't make it seem like an order, I don't mean to be rude in saying that, I'm just giving you some friendly advice, I'm alot more receptive to freindly suggestions than commands" I said, hoping he didn't take what I'd said the wrong way, it had been meant as informative, not insulting and I hoped the gentle tone I'd used saying it had brought that across

A chuckle escaped his lips as he leaned forward closer to Dri "Im not worried at all. I have to admit he is an easy one to target. His temper boils easily" he said in a low tone. Pulling away his lips formed into a smirk. His eyes wandered around briefly as Dri continued to speak.
Alexander was pleased to see that there was no roudyness today in the pub. Settling his eyes back on Dri he listened attentively. Once more his comments seemed to bring a smile to his lips. "It was not an order merely an suggestion. I think you have an enough sire to order you around" he replied as he leaned back on the chair and placed his hand in his pocket. His other hand reached for his scarf and tugged on it lightly.

I actually laughed at his comment, which was certainly not what I had expected "True, it is fun to make him mad and watch his fits" I admitted, chuckling "Though he acts alot like I did in my earlier days, hopefully age will settle him as it did me" I said with a wistful tone in my voice, knowing it was probably just wishful thinking on my part "Actually Syn and I have been friends practically since she was first sired" I said, smiling in memory "She was sired not too long after I was into the same bloodline, and now it seems fate has brought us together once again" I said, my dark blue eyes dancing with memory in the low light around our table

His eyes wandered over Dri's face as he laughed at Alexander's words. Clearly he was not the only one to feel the same way. There was one thing they shared in common. "Lets hope I can push his buttons just a couple of more times before he wises up" he said as he looked around. A movement of head sent his voluminous hair moving as well. His small tasseled bangs fell lightly on his eyes.
Alexanders bright blue eyes settled back on Dri as he spoke of a familiar name. "Don't believe I know Syn. We have not formally be introduced, but I am aware her linage runs through Chiru." he replied as he looked down at the table.

I chuckled as he spoke I'm sure you'll get the chance to, it took me the better part of my three years in the city to truly grasp the elements of maturity, and even now I don't quite have it perfected" I said, my tone light with humor, my right hand idly fingered the long-forgotten wineglass where it sat as I'd left it since the conversation started "Well, you'll get to know her soon enough I suppose, but she's my sire, and sometime in the relatively near future if her a Z's plans hold up she's to be your new grandmother" I continued, letting my hand leave my glass to join my left hand in an endeavor to fix my ponytail as it came loose from it's restraints, eventually just giving up and releasing it from the tie, letting my hair cascade lightly down my shoulders "So, will you take me up on that offer of a drink now? They have everything here, in case you want something non-alcoholic, and it's all high quality, I can assure you" I said as I tucked the hair tie into a pocket in my coat, not even bothering to divert my gaze from his for such a mundane task

Alexander remained silent as Dri spoke explaining how long it took him to mature to the state he was now. "For me well it was implemented at a young age. My parents had high expectations and well I was their only son. So I was taught much at an early age" he said as he motioned the waitress to come take his ordered. "A hypnotic please" he said with a smile. The young woman nodded as she wrote down his order. A smile hard to miss on her face.
His eyes wandered back to Dri away from the waitress. "I heard they seem to fancy each other. No surprise to me Z seems to be surrounded by females all the time." he said as he moved his hand from out of his pocket over onto the table. It did not take the waitress long to return with his drink in hand. Alexander smiled at her as she placed his drink in front of him. "Thank you" he said as he paid his drink. She smiled and slipped a piece of paper into his hands.
Taking it he examined it as she turned away. "I guess I have a call to make tonight" he said as he tucked the paper away in his pocket. He smiled at his offer, but Alexander was already a step ahead of him.

"My parents tried, but it never really set in, I suppose it was probably because I never really considered them parents, they were always so distant, but the etiquette lessons took hold at least, I'm not some ravening barbarian" I said, shaking my head softly and smiling as he palmed the waitress' number and placed it in his pocket "The female gender's never really interested me except as friends and occasional meals, so I'm afraid I'm at a loss as to what you see in them" I said, my tone light and humorous, though I'd spoken only the truth

Alexander winked at the female as she turned back to look at him. His eyes drifted back toward Dri's and he smiled. "I was adopted. I am not their biological son even though they treat me like one" he replied. Alexander was happy to have parents like them, but he never felt like he should have received all the attention he had from them. They were after all just his adoptive parents.
Grabbing his drink he took a sip and smirked at Dri's comment. Alexander had already picked up on his sexual orientation. Parting his lips to speak he smiled briefly before beginning. "I dont think I have a preference between male and female. It depends on the individual and what vibe they give. Its kind of dull just sticking to one in my opinion" he stated as he took another sip before setting it down on the table.

"It's not a matter of preference with me, but a matter of neccessity, sexual relations with a woman are just beyond my abilities, for whatever reason" I admitted to him, not quite sure how he'd take it "Anyway, what kind of 'vibe' do I give off?" I asked him curiously as I picked up my bloodwine again at last and took a long, slow sip from the glass before placing it back in it's spot on the table, my tongue absently darting out to cath a stray drop of wine at the very corner of my mouth

Alexander chuckled and shook his head. "It does not work like that. You have to ask the person who's attention I have caught" he said as he ran his fingers over the rim of his glass. His blue eyes moved down toward the drink before returning to meet Dri's "Why do you ask?" he asked as he watched him lick wine from the corner of his lips.
His hands settled back into his pockets "So what is it that you like in a male?" he asked. Alexander liked variety sometimes males offered something females didn't and other times he was just in the mood for a female. It all depended and he was always made sure to take a closer look at them before making a move on them.

I listened to his thoughts on the matter with interest, then nodded "I suppose that's true" I said, then he asked his question "Morbid curiosity and a burning desire to know how you see me" I replied, then my eyes widened at his final question "I... I don't really have a 'type', I've never had one, I have a sort of sixth sense almost, it makes it very easy for me to read people quickly, to know whether or not we'd be compatible as friends, lovers, etc, I really find beauty in everyone, but in my own way I'm very selective about those I bed, or am otherwise involved with, I'm not some common whore who'll sleep with anyone they can, nor will I bed somone for money or advancement, only out of mutual attraction and the belief that afterwards there will be more than just the memories of that night, at the very least a friendship" I said, trying to explain it, but not really capturing what I meant

Alexander laughed at Dri's confession to his question. "I see you as another member in this city. I dont find you attractive or feel anything around you" he answered bluntly. He was not going to lead him on. Dri was not someone Alexander would push from more than a conversation. He finished his drink and raised his hand toward the waitress to order another.
"Lets hope not. I dont think the family would like a line of manwhores. I toy with them, but dont go as far as to having sex with them. Not unless i feel comfortable about it. I have several request for sex, but they end up turned down offers." he replied as she rested retrieved his hand from his pocket. Resting his chin in the palm of his hand he let out a small sigh. "I can go on with out attention for months, but some humans can't even last a minute. Its sad really how they crave it. I love to see the lust in their eyes." he said as he turned to Dri.
"Dont you?" he asked with a small smirk.

"It's always fun to play with people's minds" I said "Though I enjoy turning down eager women by revealing my orintation to them so much more, because then you get that amusing mixture of dissappointment and not-quite-quenched lust in their eyes I continued, replying to his last question before moving on to comment about his first statement "Well, at least you don't hate me" I said, chuckling softly "It's a pity I'm not worthy to share your bed, but I respect your decision, it's one tenent I've always stuck to, not to push anyone into a sexual relationship they didn't want" I said, explaining my respect and defference to his decision on the subject, where others might've pressed the subject "As for the manwhore thing, I'm just as glad I'm not, I think grammy Chi might hurt me if I were, and momma would probably rip me a new one" I said, reffering to Chiru and Synangel, who were in my mind, my mother and grandmother "They don't mind promiscuity so much, but they'd definitely have a problem if I were a whore, so I happily limit myself to just one or two partners at any given time" I finished, hoping that didn't make me sound too whorish

Alexander listened to Dri as he spoke about the thing he liked when it came to woman. His intentions didn’t seem so gentlemen like. Then again there were not many around in the city. Letting his eyes wander around for a bit before returning to Dri he parted his lips to reply on his comment. ”At the moment there is no one I want to share my bed with especially not when we are considered family. The incest part does not fall well in my books” he said as he smirked at him. He had explained his views about incest to Dri long ago. He wondered why he did not recall it. Did he think Alexander would just change his mind?
He tried not to think so hard about the matter. Dri would need a lot more if he wanted to convince Alexander to share his bed. ”’Yes, it would upset them if you were” he commented as his eyes drifted around once more. His eyes rested back on Dri as he replied again to his comment on promiscuality. ”It is fine as long as you use it at the right occasions. Too much can be a problem” he said as he took another sip of his drink.
