Valentino could watch Alastor out of the corner of his eyes, it was moments like this he was thankful for his demon form. Not having pupils had its perks. He ordered a drink as his second pair of hands fidgeted with one another. Why was he so nervous this go around? He wasn't the first time, granted he it was Vox then and he said something really sexual to the poor deer. "Are you going to be alright Valentino," Alastor was looking at him from the corner of his eyes, "You're fidgeting quite a bit."

"Ah, yeah, I'll be fine....," he answered back.

Oh for all that is unholy this was so awkward! I wasn't this bad with Voxy was I?! Geez....

The bartender placed a drink in front of the moth. "Also, didn't you learn that staring is rude," the red demon commented. Valentino nearly spit out his drink, but did his best to swallow, "Wait you could tell....?!" Alastor turned his head to him, "It's not that hard...."

Oh for fuck's sake choose better wordin' Bambi.....

"Ah...is that so....well uh...my apologies then...," Valentino brought his drink back up to his lips. "Why are you here...?," the red deer's eyes narrowed dangerously, "If you're here to cause issues on Vox's behalf it would be wise for you to just leave."

"I'm not here because of Vox....," the moth pimp admitted. Now that made Alastor's interest peak, "Oh? Is that so? Well then what brings you to Mimzy's? I didn't take you as the kind of...moth to just come into a place like this." He knew it'd be best to answer this question wisely. Not like he wanted to blurt out that him and Velvet were using a website to find him here. "Well...I overheard about this lil' place from an employee so I thought I'd come by and see what it was about," he hoped that the other would by the lie. Alastor hummed, "I see, well what do think? Not you're usual type of entertainment."

"It's nice actually," the tall overlord admitted, "You sing really well too."

The deer like demon chuckled, "It appears you have some taste after all." Valentino grinned, starting to feel a bit more confident, "Oh? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Exactly as it sounds. You and that horrid walking picture show have the most peculiar taste in music as well as entertainment," Alastor took a sip out of his own drink. "Hmh-hm...Kinda weak sauce comin' from you," Valentino smirked widely, leaning forward with brows raised.

Alastor's eyes glowed dangerously for a second, "OH NO! Do NOT say whatever is in that head of yours." This time the moth hummed, "Apparently I don't have to..."

"Rrrr... I blame all the time I spend overhearing that insufferable spider," the red male's nose scrunched up.

"And how is Angel, did he like the gift I sent," the moth was putting a cigarette in his mouth. Pulling out a lighter to light it. "You mean that weight watching thing," Alastor asked, "Husk threw it in the trash telling him he didn't need it."

"Oh....that's disappointing."

The red demon finished his drink, placing the glass to the side, "Now since we're on that subject I do believe you need to get those eyes checked. Have you seen that boy? Why he's all skin and bone! I swear he needs fattening up, not slimming down. Dare I say there will be nothing left, then what use is he to you?"

Valentino took a drawl from his cigarette, "Well it has been a while since I went. Didn't like what the last guy told me."

"Mhm...let me guess, you shot him," Alastor flagged the bartender to give him a new drink. The pimp felt himself chuckle once more, "How'd ya know?"
"Just a hunch I suppose after all the few times I've seen you, you are carrying a loaded pistol," he looked at his new drink that was placed in front of him. Val internally groaned at that last part, "Fuck, dammit....I can't do this..."

"Do what?"

"Nothing, don't worry about it....," he responded as he took a sip of his drink. A slow waltz began to play, which made his phone vibrate in his pocket, he pulled it out to see Velvet had messaged him again.

Vel: U should ask him 2 dance!

Val: I don't know about that babydoll. That maybe pushing it.

Vel: U'll never know if u don't try! C'mon just ask him. What's the worst he can do? Say no?

Val: Or try to stab me...

Vel: O plz he won't try to fck w/ u like that, ur Vox's alley and friend, + I'm here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Val put his phone back into his pocket and turned to see Velvet sitting at a booth a bit a ways from the bar. She waved at him, making a hand motion as if to say "go on ask him" and then giggled to herself. He turned back to Alastor, taking a quiet breath in and exhaling. "Um...," Al turned his head to the moth, "Fuck...."

"We've been over this, Valentino. I'm afraid I'm not interested in those kinds of things, so if you're looking for someone to sleep with you are barking up the wrong tree," Alastor stated unamused. "What?! No that's not....look....I'm sorry about that by the way...."
An apology wasn't what the other was expecting, it made his grin widen a little, "Well, since you're being genuine, I shall be so kind and accept that apology." The moth chuckled quietly, until he felt his phone vibrate once more. He pulled it out, to see Velvet had messaged him once more.

When he put his phone back into his pocket Alastor spoke once more, "Are you have issues with you're rectangular thingy?"

"You mean my cellphone?"

Valentino raised a brow, but was grinning, "No just Velvet texting me."

"Why does she need to text you? Tell her to come over here," the red male was clearly confused. He turned his head to look back at her, "I mean, she's just right over there so..."

"Well....she's wanting me to ask you something you may not be fond of...," Valentino stated, as he followed the others red gaze. "And what may that be," Alastor asked, cocking a brow. It couldn't be that bad, could it? The moth rubbed the back of his neck, "It's about dancing.."
"Oh? Well she doesn't have to be so shy. I would gladly dance with her if she asked. It would be the height of rudeness to refuse a dance when asked," the red demon beamed. Now the moth wanted mentally kick himself, he shouldn't have left it where the other could make an assumption. But for some reason he couldn't find it in his heart to correct it. "Ahem...," he started after he finished his drink, getting up from his seat, "Excuse me for a moment." He hurriedly went into the bathroom.

The doll demoness followed Valentino, "What happened?" Val was trying not to laugh, "I kinda messed up and now he thinks you want to dance with him."

"What?! Oh god....okay, I'll dance with him until this song finishes since there's not much left. I'll talk him into dancing with you for the next one. Since it appears you're too nervous to ask him," Velvet stated before she quickly scurried out to the bar. "Hellooo Alastor!" She was happy to talk with him, her smile bright. "Why hello there Miss Velvet," his own smile widening, he found the female to be the least insufferable, one might say he found her more pleasant. "Val told ya I wanted to dance, is that okay," she was leaning back and forth from the front of her feet to the heels. Finishing his own drink, he stood up, "Of course dear!" The bun wearing demon giggled as he offered his hand to her. She took placed her hand into his rather excitably. She was going to be the best dang wing woman Val ever had!
