Mei had spent a lifetime learning how to please men, so it was only natural, only inevitable, that she would notice how very displeased KING WAYLAND seemed as of late. Even the most uncouth, unpredictable men had patterns of behavior indicative of whether or not their needs were being met: King's agitation was obvious, the best mask he could manage for the unmoored fury within, something darker and unsettled and, perhaps, regretful.[break][break]
Mei had a feeling she knew why.[break][break]
It was late when she approached him, discarding a final opportunity to get paid in favor of confronting his sharpened edges. The last patron stumbled out of Nameless, his hungry expression notwithstanding: Mei's declared disinterest enough to shoo him away. She shifted, unhurried, and sidled over to the bar counter with a practiced ease.[break][break]
"Where's Freya been, eh?" She purred.

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]King stood behind the bar as silent and cold as a spectre. He'd been curt with more than one customer, and nearly to blows with that many more. Even now, watching Mei approach out of the corner of his eye, he was suppressing the urge to let loose.

At Freya's name? His teeth gnashed like he was chewing glass.

"Gettin' 'erself killed probably." His tone was a poor imitation of indifference, but his eyes were sharp and cutting as they rounded on the call girl. "She won't be 'round for a while, so if she's the reason yer comin' 'ere, ye might as well start lookin' elsewhere."

Freya's name burned him like a hot poker, just as Mei had expected it would.[break][break]
She leaned into his discomfort, draping herself over the bar and peering at him pointedly, the subtleties of her body language accentuating the low cut of her dress with the effortlessness of a skilled seductress. Seafoam eyes glittered mischievously as she drank in his hostility.[break][break]
"It's you I'm here to see," she replied truthfully. Reaching over the lip of the counter, eager fingers groped for a bottle. The whisky was half-empty, some middling grade, but it would do.[break][break]
She considered her next words carefully. If rage kept him engaged, so be it.[break][break]
"You were the one who ended it, then?"[break][break]

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]King casts a pointed glance downwards, before lifting his eyes back upwards. His expression never flickers from neutral. Keeping his attention trained, he hands her the bottle she so eagerly reaches for.

"Mutual." He says in reply. "But if ye ask 'er I'm sure she'll paint me the villain."

A patron passes, dropping his glass atop the counter. The old drunk gives Mei an overly appreciative thrice-over, before leaving. King tosses the empty mug into the sink.

"Professional curiosity the reason yer askin', or just bored?"

Mei snatched the bottle, fingertips brushing against his for half-a-second, before she knocked back a swig. Licking her lips, she listened to his bitter proclamation. Her smile turned sour, brow creasing.[break][break]
"She's a dragon not a viper," Mei asserted. "I doubt she'd poison your good name. She's not like that and you know it."[break][break]
Mei had spent her life observing the nuances of human nature, so she felt confident Freya was not the sort of woman to disparage an ex-lover behind his back, no matter how messy their parting. Stubbornly throw herself into her work as a means of coping? Certainly. Insist on continuing down whatever path had brought them to emotional blows? Likely. Hiss vitriol about King to whoever asked about him? No, that wasn't her way.[break][break]
"Neither," she laughed, in response to his question. "Believe it or not, I care about you."[break][break]
Both of you.

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]Perhaps she was right and he was simply frustrated — it didn't matter.

The mere mention of her, and their relationship, had the man bristling. A headache soon followed, and he wished for nothing more than to change the subject.

"We barely know each other." She was welcome in his bar, sure, and they've shared words. But the friendship was primarily between the two women. "Less yer worried 'bout yer job security?"

Mei frowned.[break][break]
"Job security?" She echoed, rapping her fingernails against the whisky bottle in annoyance. He was avoiding the topic of Freya and it was childish. It only revealed how much he still longed for her, regret like a heavy cloak worn over weary shoulders.[break][break]
Something occurred to her, so she shifted, sliding off the barstool in one fluid motion. She made her way around the bar to stand level with him. She leaned against the counter, folded her arms, and fixed him with a pointed seafoam stare.[break][break]
"Is it a crime to think you a good man, King?" She murmured softly. Intimately. "Is it wrong to ask after your happiness?"[break][break]
They were close now, mere inches apart. Her posture was languid, but her expression intense.

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]Seafoam meets cerulean, but King only frowns back. What was she fishing for? Was she working him? That thought irked him, as did this conversation.

"Like I said, we barely know each other." She knew only as much as he wanted her too, and nothing more. What lies beyond, the person he truly was? Well, he suppposed, not even Freya knew that. Or she never would've joined the Council to 'fight' for him.

He sighs, resisting the urge to pinch his brow.

"I'm fine, so stop askin', ye? Not some child whose hand ye need ta hold."

Stubborn man.[break][break]
"Is that so?"[break][break]
Mei made her move, graceful as she closed in, sliding over to him in one fluid motion. Slender arms snaked around his neck, and she pressed her body into his, allowing the thin silk of her dress to do the work of teasing the supple curves beneath.[break][break]
This was her dance, each step in the sequence as natural and second-nature as breathing, a skillset she'd had since she was a young girl. She touched her lips to his neck, feather-light, then brushed them against his ear, hot breath its own type of banter.[break][break]
"You could get to know me better," she whispered softly, suggestively. "Why don't you?"[break][break]

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]A myriad of emotions surge through him. Surprise, excitement, anger— he focuses on one.

Hands wrapped firmly around her hips, he applies just enough force to show his irritation as he separates the two. The look on his face wasn't... disgust, but perhaps, disappointment.

"I appreciate the offer, but I'm 'fraid I'm not really lookin' for anything tonight."

Beneath his mask of curt politeness, he seethes.

"Good," she snapped, the seductive facade melting away as instantly as it had been turned on. She let him push her aside, welcoming the rejection, glad for the loss of contact between them even as a part of her did wonder, for half a second, what sort of lover he might have been. Like waves crashing against the shore as the tide takes you under, she thought. The best way to drown.[break][break]
"I have spent a lifetime learning to read people," she continued, allowing his flimsy attempt at polite refusal to rile her own anger. "You think I cannot see how much you still love her, KING WAYLAND? You think you are fooling me into believing you are fine?"[break][break]
Disgust? No, she also felt disappointed.[break][break]
"Fuck off with the 'we barely know each other' excuse. This is my home. We share many interests. Her being one of them."[break][break]

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]Primal anger fills him, and his lip twitches into a half-snarl on instinct. Was that some sort of test then? That thought causes his muscles to ache as the call to action surges through him, but is ultimately kept at bay.

"We all make our choices." He says in response, grunting afterwards as if to reaffirm that thought. "She made 'ers, and I can't afford ta be her pet project ta be used and kept in the dark at her whim."

His attention shifts to the small girl that lingers on the edge of fighting ring, eyes fixated and muscles tense in anticipation. The Lucario that shadows her has its eyes closed, but King knows that every inch of aura within' a mile was under his attention.

"I got more then just me ta look out for."

Mei had half a mind to let him fight her. She was a trained assassin; he'd have more power and a clear weight advantage, but she would not go down easily - in fact, she'd give him hell.[break][break]
Pet project? Her fingers twitched, the urge to slap him growing by the second.[break][break]
"Used?" She echoed, cocking her head in mocking disbelief, eyes blazing. "That's what you think she was doing? Using you?" Oh, she really ought to hit him - [break][break]
The girl in the corner. Blue-haired and big-eyed. Mei's eyes flicked to her as King put up his shield. She was familiar with Delta - would do more for the girl (train her how to hear a lie) if King wasn't so protective of her.[break][break]
"You can be angry. Lovers hurt one another all the time. But you cannot convince me that Freya did not have your - " - plural, the girl too - " - best interests at heart, no matter how she fumbled it."

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]What was this woman's problem? None of this was her business - none whatsoever. Did Freya put her up to this?

"What does it matter?" His tongue lashes out automatically. "She's gone, ye? Gone. Off on a crusade of 'er makin'. Hell or high-water, she made 'er choice."

The turncoat shrugs, turning to take an order from a nearby drunk. A shot of whiskey. He nearly sneers at the simplicity, but fills the request easily.

"Yer gonna have better luck talkin' ta her than me."
