Red Wine & Blue Eyes [Seri-X-Izumo] | PAUSED

Chapter Two | A Message For A Lonely Soul

The smell of the freshly polished bubinga wood flooring and fine sent from the wood blending in with the stronger scents of many different fine alcohols with a slight hint of cigarette smoke just slid it's way into Seri's nose causing her to feel relaxed for some reason as she looked to Izumo who placed a fancy clear margarita glass in front of her which contained her favorite drink. He even added in extra bean paste to her liking.

"So...anything you wish talk about?"

Izumo would ask the blond busty female with a calm kind yet soothing tone as he picked up the burning cigarette from the ash tray to take a small drag from it. Seri was always so fond of his kind smoothing voice...although, She would never get herself to admit it freely. Seri's blue toned eyes stared right towards Izumo as she went to place one hand around the glass containing her drink before setting the other hand up to lightly pinch onto the stirring stick. But soon there eyes made contact causing her expression to soften slightly while she calmly responded.

"Nothing in particular."

The fellow blond haired individual would then sip her drink as Izumo seemed to look back to her.

"Hm, So I see. How was work..?"

The bartender would suddenly ask as he began to start off with casual conversation before receiving a response from his fellow acquaintance.

"Normal as usual...although I was given time off. So I've come here for a drink."

Seri would state calmly as she finished off her drink. Izumo would calmly polish another glass cup and held it up a bit to the light on the ceiling causing the cup to shine a bit.

"Oh..? Time off...that's new. Sounds like the blue king is learning to be more easier on his subordinates."

He would state freely as Seri placed her now empty glass cup down onto the counter and looked to the side.

"Hm...possibly."

Seri's blue toned eyes would suddenly soften though as she became lost in thought for a moment but soon she broke out of her thoughts as she calmly looked at her PDA to check the time and soon stood up and slipped on her coat.

"I probably should get going...I'm sure you need some rest before they all get home tomorrow."

Seri would seem to speak calmly as she turned to walk to the front door but soon Izumo spoke up getting her attention as he made his way towards her.

"Seri...I've noticed something about you for awhile now. I didn't want to mention it...but I can't stand to see such sadness behind those blue eyes of yours."

Seri's eyes would widen a bit as she looked at the bartender whom stood right in front of her with his tinted shades removed from his face to reveal his hazel eyes that seem to just stare right into her own blue eyes like an endless maze. But soon her eyes soften back with her expression as she responded.

"Sadness..? What makes you think that I would be sad..?"

She would question the bartender as if she didn't understand what he had meant. The bartender just gave a small soft smile in return before setting his hand onto her cheek.
