// I got this feeling, yeah, you know where I'm losing all control //
Vesper sauntered into The Hanged Man with his usual languid grace, running a ring-laden hand through his hair; tonight, it's somewhere between starlight and shadow. He’d been planning on running a con or finding a mark for the evening, maybe even stirring up a little drama for his own amusement, but all that vanished when he caught a glimpse of the dark-haired stranger leaning against the bar. More importantly, he caught the stranger’s thoughts: a lush tangle of impressions that called to him like the promise of ripe fruit in an otherwise barren orchard.
The memory of how badly things had gone with Niki in the Greatwood still pricked at him, but this new mind felt like sweet relief, a garden of delights that had his mouth watering. So, Vesper’s step shifted, becoming smoother, almost predatory. Sidling up to the bar, he angled his body just enough to catch the botanist’s eye. A faint smirk ghosted across his lips, and he let his telepathy brush ever so lightly against the stranger’s vivid thoughts.
"Don’t think I’ve seen you around before," he drawled, voice low and velvety. "And I definitely would have remembered you." He let his gaze drift meaningfully over the fishing-net top and ragged jeans, before arching a brow and glancing at the empty shot glass. "Can I tempt you with another?"
