ooc:alright, so lets see. why dont we take it and make it take place after the whole tobias beating the crap out of andrew phase? Get them to be nice over drinks?
bic:
"Andrew, old friend, I feel terrible." Tobias said, putting his arm around the opposite males shoulder. "Here, lets go drinking and put this all behind us. Make ammends. See if we can find you a new woman who won't render you speechless, because, if I may speak plainly, life was awfully boring that way. So, what do you say?"

Andrew did not immediately acknowledge that he heard Tobias' words, but instead he rolled them over in his head. Crossing into the threshold of a warm and cheery pub that contrasted bitterly with his mood, he thought to himself images of a hundred women he had known, and the thought of letting one ever conquer again...
He couldn't bear it.
"I'll settle for a drink." He muttered almost lifelessly.

"Just settle?" Tobias queried. "That doesnt sound like the Andrew Baron, woman magnet, that I know. Lighten up. I'm sure when you get some drink in you will be fine. And look, there is no one to stop us from going. Anabelle is out. Sienna and Adrien are, well, I think their in the rose garden again. So buck up. Lets get moving."
He grabbed his coat and proceeded to walk towards the front door of their home. "Andrew, are you just going to stand there?"

Andrew grumbled for a moment, trying to convince himself a variety of excuses that would keep him home (it's too cold, I don't feel well, the drink will hurt my liver...) but he could not find one that made sense, and simply had to go along. Following Tobias out the manor door and into the snow, he felt the fear in the air, the fear through the smell of blood, and he greatly desired his old life, for a fleeting, unbearable moment. When they reached the pub, a small, warm and cheery little corner place, with leathery seats and tables, he said nothing.

Silence is a scary sound. And coming from someone as outspoken as Andrew, it was like a sign of the apocalypse. If there is even such a thing for vampires. Tobias knew he had to do something to get Andrew to speak.
"I'll get the drinks." He said, getting up from the corner booth of theirs. Dingy, dark, like they always liked their drinking booth experiences. Nothing funny, just the darker the booth, the more fun it seemed to be. Still, not funny.
"Here," Tobias said, coming back to the table. "A pint."

A pint.
Andrew had consumed liquor since the incident, in fact, a good, large amount of it, but he had not gone to a pub in a long time. He missed the feel of the stick glass between his palms, of the frothy amber against his lips. The smell of the ale and the leather pub table became overpowering, and he actually managed to smile. Perhaps a pints were his potion; he suddenly felt a little revived.
"Tobias," he laughed weakly. "You've owed me a drink for years. I -always- buy. This is a nice change for once."

"Ah, well, tonight is all on me. As you just said, I've owed you drinks for many years," Tobias said, clinkning the money within his pockets. "Let's drink until we cannot drink anymore," he said, raising his pint in the air.
"To you, I am glad I did not kill you. I wouldnt have a drinking buddy anymore. Trust me, Adrien is not fun to drink with. I remember one time, he actually...no, I''l need a few more drinks before revealing that."

Andrew's eyes widened with laughter, remembering exactly how Adrien acts when he is drunk. Clinking his glass against Tobias', he slugged a rather un-gentleman-like gulp of the liquid down his throat, and licked the froth from his lips. "I'm rather glad you did not kill me too. You realize I would have come back to haunt you."

"Now that is a scary thought," Tobias said. "You know, I never did really apologize for that night. I was just so...angry. I needed to do something. Thus the whole jaw thing." His thoughts passed briefly to that moment when he broke his friends' jaw.
"I am very glad I didnt kill you. You would have haunted my sex life." Tobias shuddered. "That would be scary.

Then suddenly the old Andrew flew into him, like breathing in a soul, and Andrew leaned forward, with raised eyebrows, and said-
"What sex life?"

"I should have known I walked into that." Tobias said, taking a swig of his pint, and shaking off the insult by Andrew.
" I have had plenty of sex recently. I know for a fact that you have not. Shame you know. All those women who want you."

Andrew's eyes lingered long on the glass in front of him, almost a third empty in just a few moments. Memories of long and silk covered arms crawling across his skin mocked him. So many colours of hair and wine and eyes on the same evening... So many women who never knew what had conquered them.
"Tobias, it was never about pleasing them." A sad and troubled look clouded his eyes. "It was about conquering them."

Tobias looked at Andrew, listening to his words. He slowly set down his mug, also signaling to the barkeep for some more drinks soon.
"Conquering them? What do you mean? If all those nights, the whole house heard the noises from your room. The sounds of pleasure, all a lie?"

The pub door opened, causing a gust of air to ruffle Andrew's hair, and when the warmth returned, he spoke again, choosing his words carefully and with tragic glimmers in his eyes.
"Pleasure is no lie. I took pleasure in women, their shapes, their perfume on their wrists and necks where I kissed and lured them to me. I took pleasure in the act, in the sensual glamour of it...
But women...they are so vulnerable. So conquerable...At least, I once was naive enough to think so. They aren't -all- conquerable... I should have learned it from you, Tobias. Women aren't to be conquered, but are equal adversaries. However, I have learned myself that once I consider them to be equal adversaries- they are dangerous."
He paused for a long and empty moment, and suddenly, he stated, "You are wrong, Tobias. I have lain with one woman since this all occurred. And I am afraid of making the same mistake I did with my last relationship."

Tobias sat quietly, comtemplating what Andrew had said. It was all about the thrill of the hunt. To be able to be seen as the victor. Tobias understood. It was a part of each being, whether or not the are immortal or mortal. To be the conqueror, the winner, even when it is just about sexual dominance.
But Andrews last words made Tobias look up. So he had been with someone. But mistake was never a part of Andrew's vocabulary. Why did it appear now?
"Do I know this woman? Or is it some high and mighty duchess like you always get in bed?" he queried.

Andrew pounced a coin from his pocket onto the counter, where he motioned for the pubkeeper to bring he and Tobias another pint, and then he prepared his response carefully in his head.
"You will think ill of me. Perhaps that I have taken advantage of her mortal state, but it is not true. I am oddly attracted to her, and she towards me. When all the coven was away, I pressed her onto a couch in the parlor and we were one.
Pleasurable. Yes. But the power was everything. To be able to convince her to lay with me, to lay with a man for the first time, with a simple glance from my eyes.
Sometimes we come upon each other in the dining hall, when there is no one else there, and I run my hands up and done her legs, between her white thighs. But she never comes to my room. She knows that if she comes to my room, that I have mastered her.
I began to fall in love with the way her eyes avoid me at dinner when all the others are present, how she cringes from my touch under scrutinous eyes, and how often she will not acknowledge my name when she speaks to the rest of the coven. Although I like to think I am in control, with these subtle reclusive gestures, I am her secret plaything.
Tobias, I don't want to love again. So I refuse. I don't want to love and I don't have to love. I just have to remind myself that it is pleasure and power and nothing more..........
Don't think ill of me Tobias. The woman is Seraphina."

The mortal? Yes, true, it seemed all of Andrew's women were of the mortal sense, but this one, this woman named Seraphina was one they knew. One that they had helped. She was as much a part of the coven as Adrien or Sienna. But it still struck Tobias in a weird sense.
He quietly sipped his drink, pondering what to say next. His mind raced, he did not know what to say that might show his approval or to make Andrew feel comfortable. All he could think of was...
"Was it good?"
ooc: I AM SO SORRY CHIKA!
