[  suki tilts her head slightly as she explains.  it’s a mixture of intrigue and confusion that is written across her face.  quickly,  she snaps out of it,  blinking a few times.  petite hands brush off against her jeans. ]   i’m alright ..   [ suki pauses,  hesitant to reveal too much to her. ]   they do.  it’s not worth getting into.  we should leave though—

            that was a good ol’ fashioned sleeping spell and a minor concussion, just for good measure. are you okay? those guys looked like they (..) knew you?

            i’m here with a friend. [ a lie. ] do you only have regulars come here to dance?

            noted— [ rowan leaves her drink where it was, she’d get a new one later. she’d heard that before too and has done it in the past, but honestly she was easily distractable tonight. ] i’ll get a new one later. crazy question— would you… wanna dance?

            Mmm a dance? I don't mind darling though if you want to dance I suggest you get me a drink

            “ you… you weren’t supposed to see that. ” rowan had been restoring what remained of the forest after a wildfire, using her magic to revive the flora of the place. it took a lot of power to do this so each day she’d dedicate a few hours to doing so. “ i was just planting— and i’m just really good at doing it fast but i wasn’t hired to do it so, just don’t tell anyone. okay? ”

            that depends on who you’re asking.

[nicholas tenses at the unknown voice, every muscle locked into place. he was used to the voice in his head, he had heard it for a very long time, but this one was new—- not of his own creation, but the woman in front of him.]   i seek answers, i seek to understand.   [he doesn’t offer clarification, he CAN’T. because he’s not even sure if he knows.]   don’t go in my head anymore. it is weird—- no, it is unsafe. for you.   [he had already unintentionally consumed someone before, he doesn’t want to do it again.]

            [ how could she explain that she had a vision of him and knew where he would be or her connection with merlin at all? rowan didn’t have to answer that at all, because without a second thought, merlin took over, eyes flashing golden. ] i can sense it, your power— is that why you refuse my hand? [ a voice questions, projecting into his mind. they wouldn’t let the stranger go but there was something worrying him about his insistence. perhaps he wanted to be trapped, in his dirty and distressed state. neither could see why. ] 

[nick does know of the ‘they’ that the woman speaks of, his brows furrowing slightly in brief confusion. the whispers get louder, but he still does not fear them—- at least, not yet. he was here for a reason, a reason he does not dare disclose just yet.]   what force brought you here?   [a simple question, as he moves forward but still does not take her hand. if he needed to, he would whisk them both away, but only when the time is right—- when he gets what he came there for.]

                      "   hah ,   i'm well aware darling .   you can relax though ,   i don't intend on forcing you're hand ...   not yet at least .   if you keep dancing around it for a couple decades i may change my mind on that though ...   "     truthfully ,   she wasn't going to do anything .   rowan had an innocent mind ,   as far as the succubus could see .   and as much as she wanted to corrupt that innocence ,   rowan had been the first human in centuries to show her a shred of something that resembled respect ,   or dignity .   she wasn't about to snuff that out .   but that didn't mean she wasn't going to scare or tease the witch .   she was a demon ,   after all .   if she couldn't feed off her pleasure ,   she would feed off her other emotions .     "   i'm sure you'll think of something .   "

            “ payment, right. ” rowan says quietly, remembering how she’d only barely avoided the topic the first time, it’s probably naive to expect special treatment twice. she starts sketching out the base, jaw clenched in focus, as much as she wanted to understate it, she was beautiful, gorgeous even but that wasn’t what rowan wanted to capture. “ i’d be willing to give you almost anything except… that. i don’t know what else would be acceptable though. ”

"     despite that last part being true ,   venus wasn't at the point where she was annoyed at rowan for dodging payment .   for now ,   at least .     "   just don't take  / too /  long .   "
