When Remi turned down the drink it left Tal with a conundrum. His hands were empty and so were his glasses but now he didn't have an excuse to refill either. Then again, given how fast the first two went down, maybe that was for the best. Sah wasn't here to rough house with, and he definitely didn't want to interrupt Ru's night when she'd been so looking forward to the party...
Remi's question dragged him back to the present and he blinked, following the Lullaby's gaze to where the lady in question was holding court with an Ancient. His teeth might have been sharper, but Tal's money was on Ru being the one to take a bite out of the unsuspecting man first. His lips quirked birefly towards another grin before he looked back to his companion at the bar with a quizzical tilt of his head, not unlike one of his dogs. "Me an' Ru? What about-- OH!" As little as he saw of Remi he'd almost forgotten that if Flora had two parents, then at some point those two parents must have gotten together and--
It wasn't an image he wanted in his head right then, and he really wished he had another drink in his hand instead. "We're not... I mean, I haven't... we haven't..." Now the alcohol was hitting and Tal found himself tripping over his tongue as he tried to figure out what to say that wouldn't get him smited on the spot. He felt his ears and neck heating up and he wasn't sure if it was from the booze or his embarrassment. "...Fuck," he mumbled down at his empty glass, fingers white-knuckled around it. "C'n I try again?"
