Isla
"I mean this in the kindest way, Sunjata, but nerdy isn't the first word I think of when you talk about your upbringing," Isla says in her defence. Dark, traumatic, maybe even intense if she's trying to be nice, but the Flood hasn't exactly lived a sheltered life, no matter how geeky he might be at heart. "But if that's really the case, I'll make sure I treat you appropriately moving forward." Quite what that means is a mystery in itself, given that Isla can't rightly be said to be any different. Maybe she'll just start writing interesting factoids on little notes for him to find. "Mm, it was safe there, until I found it," she corrects, purposely choosing not to expand on that purely in the hope that he'll go checking under the bed to make sure it's all in order. "Hey, you may as well have one. Gotta take any chance to be happy these days, right?" she says of the dragon's nest (and likely a lot of other things, too), stepping into the hustle of the House of Midnight and doing her best to look as though they've been out intentionally, though her bloody dress and puffy eyes likely give it all away. "I don't know about you, but I really need a drink." |

save your eyes for someone brighter than i will ever be There’s a hum of agreement that slips from him. His upbringing had been quite dark and terrible precisely because he was a nerdy, quiet child. “My father did his best to try and get it out of me.” He shrugs, bypassing the trauma as if it were nothing but casual talk. Which, to him it is, despite the attempts to help him realize that what had happened to him was fucked up.
Despite her next sentence being a jest, Sunjata stiffens, giving her a sidelong look with the raise of his scarred eyebrow, playing it off despite the fact he’s certainly going to check when they go upstairs. It’s a thought he lets slide as she mentions needing a drink. He, for once, doesn’t feel the need to go all out but that doesn’t mean he won’t join her and get something to sip on. “Any little bit, right? Might be fun, actually.” He agrees to her prior comment, tucking the books under his arm a little tighter as he follows her toward the bar, patrons watching them as he takes a seat and flashes a smile to the man behind the counter. He orders something simple, a little whiskey drink to sip on, before his head tilts toward Isla to see what she might want to drink. don't hesitate to bring me to my knees SUNJATA Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. the Remedy

save your eyes for someone brighter than i will ever be “Yeah.” Sunjata snorts, moving through the crowd, nodding to those that recognize him as they take their seats and makes their orders. He snorts again at her comment, flashing her a lopsided smirk. “Well, we do own it. Might be odd if the owners didn’t even partake in it.” What’s good enough for their patrons were good enough for them, in Sunjata’s opinion. It also helped he didn’t really have to pay for these either which certainly helps.
The glass comes and Sunjata sips from it lightly as Isla downs her shots, and he cradles the rocks glass in his lightning scarred hand as he tucks the books into his lap, holding them there with an elbow. He does cast a look of surprise to her as he takes another sip and shrugs his shoulders. “You can be as much of a mess as you want. I’ll take care of you.” He offers, because he certainly had been a mess after the party. It doesn’t bother him in the slightest. don't hesitate to bring me to my knees SUNJATA Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. the Remedy

save your eyes for someone brighter than i will ever be There’s a low rumbled hum from him as he nods. He hasn’t found himself in a different room, seeking out other company despite his reputation might suggest. But it isn’t like the random guests here don’t know that, judging by those that have muttered under their breaths about how he ”keeps the good ones for himself”. The fact is that nobody really had to know, he supposes. “No, but there’s nothing saying we can’t if we want to.” He shrugs.
Maybe he’ll have another midlife crisis and decide to put himself on the board for spending the night with? For now, he’s sound and content enough with his own decisions to flash Isla a soft smile as she says his name and proceeds to thank him, lifting the glass in a little mock toast before he sips from it. “So long as you don’t get sick I’ll consider it a win.” He winks at her, before he settles in again. He forgets that he’s got the tolerance from consistent drinking as well as being a demigod now, where things didn’t seem to affect him as much as it would everyone else. don't hesitate to bring me to my knees SUNJATA Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. the Remedy

save your eyes for someone brighter than i will ever be He doesn’t know if he wants to either, and it’s a thought that he goes back and forth on suddenly, wondering if it were a good idea that he even thought about trying to indulge in his typical reputation. He is the sex side of Frey’s demigod, after all. Perhaps he should consider it. But alas, tonight he doesn’t – perhaps it’s melancholy or something else, but there’s a certain lack of wanting to feel nothing at all for the first time in a while – probably because of Isla beside him with her easy distractions and the comfort of the warmth of her body sharing his bed, even if there wasn’t anything more to it.
“I think I’m alright.” He decides, flashing her a soft smile before she pushes him and he remains stock still, barking a laugh that quiets the bar for a brief moment as they wonder what the fuck is going on. He flashes her a crooked smile and tilts his head. “I think I’m long past the days I get sick from alcohol. Because if I weren’t, it would’ve been the beach for sure.” It comes out as a playful taunting, his chin tilting up just enough to make it seem like he’s the typical face of a royal who’s won an argument they didn’t even have a stake in, all for the sake of amusement. He takes another sip of his drink and stretches out his long legs, setting the glass down. “Besides, you’re a doctor, you’ll take care of me regardless.” It’s cocky, of course, but he’s absolutely just teasing her now. don't hesitate to bring me to my knees SUNJATA Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. the Remedy

save your eyes for someone brighter than i will ever be He gets attention from anyone, anywhere he is whether he wants it or not — and whether that’s because of his height or his scars or his reputation, Sunjata can’t put a finger on it. He just knows he’s never quite hidden away whenever he wants to be. It’s part of the reason he’s glad he has his shifts, the dog as unassuming as can be helps him slip in and out of situations. It had helped when he’d needed to infiltrate things, too. But those days have long since passed.
His nose wrinkles as she mentions him getting sick in her hair, shaking his head as he sips from his drink again and snorts, having nothing to respond to it with because she’s right. He would never live it down. So instead he opts for the cockiness. A cockiness that has his lips quirking in a crooked smirk due to the scar that has cut through some of the muscles there. “Of course. I’m a demigod and important am I not?” He lets the cockiness ooze from him, a feature that hasn’t been there in gods knew how long, but he wears it like an old coat. don't hesitate to bring me to my knees SUNJATA Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. the Remedy

save your eyes for someone brighter than i will ever be It’s a good thing Isla cuts him off, because he’s just about to ruin the mood even if he intends it to be continual banter with a ”well yeah, that’s all anyone ever looks at. How useful I am as a demigod.” But luckily his lips remain quirked in a playful smirk as he lifts the glass to his lips and watches her from over the rim.
“I suppose you could overlook it.” He agrees, taking a sip and lets it burn along his tongue before he swallows it down and sets the glass down again. His head tilts as the conversation shifts a bit more somberly, though the smile remains it’s a few shades less cocky, more thoughtful. “You have not.” He agrees with a casual shrug. “I’m available whenever you’d like.” He knows it’s necessary, given his history, despite there being nothing wrong this time. don't hesitate to bring me to my knees SUNJATA Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. the Remedy

save your eyes for someone brighter than i will ever be Sunjata snorts despite the sobering thought, nodding as he finishes off his glass. “Sounds good to me.” By her people contacting his people it’d more than likely be waking up and eating something for breakfast followed by a wanna just do it now and get it over with?
Which he doesn’t mind. His gaze drifts back to her when she mentions that she’s sufficiently content with the drink she’s had, not wanting to overdo it. So he nods, moving to stand alongside her, tucking the books back under his arm as he nods to the bartender and looks back to Isla. “I have to figure out where to add these to my hoard, remember?” He teases, letting her lead the way through the crowd to the stairs. After all, there wasn’t really anything for him to do down here right now.
