[closed] drinking buddies

[idkmybffbloodwing]

CHARACTERS: Mordecai and Lilith
LOCATION: The bar
WARNINGS: none
SUMMARY: Lilith got a sad photo in her locker, so she and Mordecai meet up to talk about the good old times, the bad old times, and everything else.


It took Mordecai a while to get himself and all his animals cleaned and sorted after the jump, but finally the chickens were in the oxygen gardens, and he was dressed and armed to the teeth just in case he spotted Jack. Mijo was following, this time - every time he landed on Mordecai's shoulder, a hand would come up to sweep him off and force him to perch elsewhere, in an attempt to get the little bird to exercise his flight muscles. Not that it would do much good here, but Mordecai had to do something so the little guy didn't turn into the bloodwing version of a couch potato.

He took a longer walk than needed to get to Lilith's place from the lockers, giving him time to clear his mind from the effects of the jump, but eventually he arrived and knocked at her door.

Comments

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"Uh huh." He kept a hand on the wall to guide them as he carefully placed one foot in front of the other. The alcohol had gotten to him enough to make it hard to tell what exactly Lilith was not-so-subtly suggesting - because of course Roland hadn't been with her, they'd had to keep her hidden, and then after that they'd all been sharing the headquarters and private time wasn't- oh. Suddenly it clicked, and he rolled his eyes, though that caused him a moment of instability and he had to stop walking and regain his balance. "Uh, you don't have to tell me 'bout that, you know."

[supfirehawk]

"You act like a forty-something virgin." Never mind that Roland had been her first and only boyfriend. Still, it was funny how every time she mentioned anything about wanting to have sex with Roland, he wanted her to stop. "How red is your face?" she teased and awkwardly tried to peer closer at his face.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"If it's red, it's from the alcohol, Lil," he says, laughing awkwardly. "I can guarantee you I'm not forty an' I'm not a virgin, either. Doesn't mean I wanna hear about... that."

[supfirehawk]

She laughed and elbowed his side. "I'd be surprised if Moxxi left that intact for long. Why don't you like talking about it, huh?"

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"Fuck off, Lil, you really think I couldn't get laid before Moxxi? Really?" Not that he's taking her comments entirely seriously, but sometimes things are funnier when drunk, and sometimes things are less funny. This is one of the latter, especially considering he's pretty sure he's had more action than she has since arriving.

[supfirehawk]

"I didn't see you showing interest in anyone else on Pandora." Not her, not Tannis... just Moxxi.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"So? I had a life before goin' to that hellhole of a planet, you know. Besides, with you makin' googly eyes at Roland all the time, I'm not surprised you didn't feel like speculating about who I was interested in." And he wouldn't have expected her to. His business was his alone, really.

[supfirehawk]

"You make me sound like a little kid with a crush." And a little kid she wasn't.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"Didn't say anything like that." Even if sometimes she definitely had acted that way.

[supfirehawk]

"At least I don't get embarrassed when someone says sex."

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"I don't. Just not a big fan of hearin' about my two good friends goin' at it." Especially with how Lilith either ignored everyone else in the room but her and Roland, or possibly used their presence to make Roland feel even more awkward, depending on what she was trying to get out of him.

[supfirehawk]

"Or how we didn't. I can't remember the last time I got any." Well, she could, but it was too damn long ago and that was what mattered.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"Betcha there's plenty of willing guys here if you ask nicely." If she wasn't looking for a real relationship, anyway, but with how she was still stuck on Roland, maybe that was hard for her. "Jus' don't go settin' them on fire. Wrong kinda hot."

[supfirehawk]

"I can't just go up to a random guy and say, 'hey, take your pants off.'" She could, but even she had her limits.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

That got a laugh from him. "Don't go to a random guy, then. Find one'a the ones who's easy." Of course, she didn't lurk on the network quite as much as he did. She probably didn't realize how simple it was. Admittedly, he didn't know much about the easy guys - that wasn't really his thing, so he didn't look too hard for that kind of information. But he was sure they were out there.

[supfirehawk]

"Like who?" She was curious now, since he was talking like he had people in mind.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"Dunno, I just hear rumors. Maybe that Kirk guy, but he seems like a complete asshole." Then again if she was just looking for a one night stand, maybe that didn't matter. He knew who would know, though.

[supfirehawk]

"I don't want someone who'll cause problems after."

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"Nah, nobody ever does. I dunno, Lil, I don't exactly go lookin' for guys to sleep with." He managed to drag them both into the lift, so he could get them back onto their floor before too long.

[supfirehawk]

"You should, they're fun." She pulled away from him so she could lean against the side of the lift.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"No thanks. Tried it, not my thing." Of course, that had been Moxxi's idea. Her and her damn camcorder, and fuck, he'd been drunk as hell that night (when wasn't he, though).

[supfirehawk]

That was not the answer she was expecting. "When did you try that?"

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"It's really not a story I feel like tellin'." She clearly did not get the whole thing where he didn't enjoy talking about people's sex lives, whether it was hers or his.

[supfirehawk]

"Why not? It sounds like a good one."

[idkmybffbloodwing]

"Ugh. No, it's really nothin' special. You can have all the guys you want, Lil, I'll stick to girls."
