[i]The alcoholic beverages were downed individually in troves as they were slid down the long oaken table, and JT just chuckled as each and every beverage was sent down his throat with little more than a burn when he chugged his whiskey, for the Cowboy wasn't one to be affected by alcohol with anything but a confidence boost. Eventually he just sat up from his spot and plopped down beside Irina.
"Ma'am I don't exactly get drunk the typical way."[/i]

[i]The Vileblood turned towards JT, her thin pale hand resting upon the counter of the bar itself. While her right hand was gloved and hidden away, her left was not, as if there was some significance to the right.[/i] [i]Irina looked at the cowboy with a drunken stare, a wide grin appearing upon her face as she laughed slightly. It was somewhat questionable about why she was drinking in the first place - and at this point, she probably wouldn't have answered to any questions in any proper manner.[/i] [u]"...Damn...L-Least I tried. You d-don't look tooooo good, so...I tried...gettin' you a beer.."[/u]
-
[i]"Look beautiful, I'd hate to see someone in such a wrecked state. Go home, get some sleep and take a few headache pills with water," JT responded. He hadn't planned to flirt much as he thought this woman was with somebody already, he just got the feeling of it and wasn't the steal yo girl type. [/i]
-
[u]"...Beautiful? You're one to be talking, handsome.."[/u] [i]Irina snickered slightly, casting a drunk glimpse upon JT. Either she was way too drunk to even recognize that he was supposedly an enemy of the NCR, or just didn't know him in general. She ordered yet another bottle of alcohol, this time a glass of wine. In fact, two glasses of wine, whereas she gave one to JT and one to herself.[/i]
-
[i]"Thank you kindly, ma'am." JT was forty years old, although his species lived until they were 160. They aged normally until the age of 20 where they looked like that until 40, and aging continued at half the normal speed from then on until death. "So you got a name?"[/i]
-
[u]"...I-Irina. Now I know what ya thinkin'...you want to blow my head off about...well, what happened a while back. Months ago, r-really.."[/u] [i]Irina slightly sighed as in her drunken state, she recalled the events that occurred months ago. The screams of innocents still rung within her mind..it had given her nightmares over time. As for age, she was currently twenty-nine, and would live much longer due to the forbidden blood within her body.[/i]
-
[i]"Lass this ain't no place for no hero, and I certainly ain't the better man. I'm known as The Marshal but I do some evil shit. JT's the name, call me John if you want."[/i]
-
[u]"J-John? I knew a John. Back in Yharnam, but...unrelated topic.. Could always call you cowboy or some shit, too...surprised you aren't calling me a Vileblood sl[i]u[/i]t yet.."[/u] [i]Irina chuckled at her own joke, before literally chugging her wine glass, in a fashion that it should not have been drunk in at all.[/i]
-
[i]"I ain't exactly able to call anyone that, much less someone who I don't know." JT had slept with hundreds in his life, had 107 kids that he never met. He was in no position to call anyone a slût. [/i]
-
[u]"Surprise, surprise.."[/u] [i]Another long chug, and Irina had already downed the wine's contents. She looked as if she would have ordered yet another - yet she also looked as if she would fall over soon.[/i] [u]"...G-Got a family, Johnny? Friends? Odd question, I know, but...still.."[/u]
-
[i]"Got a sister back home in Cylak and a kid in the Dojo, but the kid's 21. Otherwise no, I got no ties other than a few friends who I haven't seen in months. Hadn't seen my girlfriend in weeks so I assume she's dead. You?"[/i]
-
[u]"Mm...Other than Athena, I've got.. Athena."[/u] [i]Irina suddenly blushed magnificently, as if something was very, very wrong with her at the moment. Suddenly, she lunged towards the door, falling to the wooden floor with a thud. The flooding creaked as the woman groaned, before she pushed herself upwards and stumbled towards the door. She seemed to be leaving already..[/i]
-
[i]And so JT let her. Another person whom he was talking to just leaves, he didn't mind though, he was used to it. [/i] ((End?))
