// I got this feeling, yeah, you know where I'm losing all control //
Vesper’s smirk deepened at the easy confidence with which Mateo returned his attention. The siren-song of the botanist’s thoughts flickered in the back of his own mind, making it tempting—so tempting—to delve deeper, but he kept his expression cool and unreadable. He wasn't as practiced as Jack was, but the young demigod had gotten a bit better about masking what he picked up from the minds of those around him. Still, there was a glint in his ice-blue gaze as he let a ringed fingertip trace lazy circles on the bar’s surface.
"Skyward, huh?" he murmured, tilting his head. "Stormbreak, I’m guessin'?" He made it sound almost like a question, but there was no real doubt. "Never been," he added, a casual shrug lifting his shoulders. “But if everyone up there looks like you, it might be worth the trip." A faint twist of a smile curved his lips as he straightened. "Vesper," he offered by way of introduction. Without waiting for a response, he flagged down a passing waiter, flicked his fingers in an airy gesture, and said, "Bring us a bottle," in a low purr that wasn’t quite a request. If Vesper was right, he and Mateo would be having more than just one drink together, and there was certainly no need to keep bothering the servers for refills.
"Sister, huh?" Snorting under his breath at that, a sparkle of some genuine emotion dusted itself across his blue eyes as he shook his head. "Yeah I got two of 'em. Most times it ain't even worth sayin' no, but...worse things than vacationin' down here."
