Abyss set back in the bar, he’d been searching for a place like this. Dark, dank and dingy, a couple of pool tables in the back. The only pair of women in the whole place a pair of waitresses tatted up from head to toe from the looks of it. He came in bought a bottle of scotch and walked to the corner where he started taking shots, a few bikers set in an opposite corner smoking and talking a little too loud, but that was just a part of the lovely atmosphere. Too much testosterone was in the air and it seemed that they all were itching to punch somebody in the room, as usual no body bothered looking at him wrong, unless it was in a group. As of right now, nobody had a reason or the back bone. He was happy for it, he just found the shady place and he wanted to keep it for at least a night.

Sapphire had walked into the bar with one thing and one thing in mind, to get some rum. Now while she could go into any other bar to get it, they would most likely water it down or suggest she gets some fruity crap that tasted like it should be in a kids juice box. The young Lady of Darkness just wanted some good old fashioned rum.

It was rather understandable though that she got some pretty confused looks as she walked into the bar as well when she walked up to the bar and asked for a glass of rum. After a tiny bit though the young woman stopped getting those stares and the patrons of the bar went back to normal.

((im really tired so this is all I can think of, sorry about that))

They clock ticked by and the only note worthy change was a the arrival of a female that looked like she could run with the crowd, and not run over by the crowd like the waitresses. The little thing ordered at the bar and for a moment or two had just about every eye on her. Abyss sighed for the pretty one, She was bound to draw the wrong kind of attention. Perhaps he’d found one person he might back up and for no good reason. It’d be the excuse to start the brawl that every seemed to be pondering. The scars of repeated brawls were all over the place.

It wasn’t ten minutes before the first pair of grungy looking men walked over to chat her up. Abyss shock his head, guessing that she was looking for trouble more than she was looking for someone to talk to, maybe she wanted to be left al one like the rest? She should have found a table just like anybody else sitting by the bar was asking to have your ears talked into by a filthy bloke somewhere.

Walking into a place she had never been to wasn’t normally a good idea, but since Sapphire was just in the mood to drink she really didn’t give a damn. The pale skinned darkness manipulator aimlessly stared at her finger nails as she waited for her drink to be filled and once it was she took a long drink of the rum, smirking a little at the bartenders surprised face. His faces closed however when the grungy men came up, most likely asking for something or another from Sapphire. Now while normally, this would be a good opportunity for her to destroy some human lives for just the hell of it, that’s not how she rolled so she merely smiled at the two.

“You boys should run along now, I'm not interested in whatever sexual you wish to induldge yourself with on my young body.” Sapphire told them both, not looking up from her drink. The mistress of Darkness waved her hand dismissively at the two, watching their surprised faces.

(my brains malfunctioning, tag)

Abyss sits up strait waiting for the men to get upset at the dismissal of their grimy affections. The girl reminded him of his little sister Dark hair, vivid eyes, her sense of fashion was almost a complete match.

Abyss stood up before they could even bother her more, the small puzzle piece falling into place was more than enough to make him want to stick up for her, he wondered for a moment if the little human would have the sense to appreciate it.

It would seem that upon seeing the massive red man behind them the two men harassing the darkness user would find that it may be in their best interest to skitter away back to the their table in the room. A small smile crept across Sapphires pale face as she looked up at her ‘savior’ with an amused expression on her face. She found it interesting that this person she didn’t even really know decided to come to aide. Though she didn’t really need it and she was planning on flaying the men alive once they left the establishment, it was a rather nice gesture.

“Want a drink good sir?” She asked him, being rather polite for such a place like this. She gestured to the barstool next to her.“Though, my business with those men isn’t finished yet, I shall pay them a visit later on. But, for saving me the hastle of doing it in a public dwelling, I believe I owe you a drink.”

Abyss smiled at the polite and cultured tone the woman took, It wasn't quite waht he expected but then he had lived a life of proving assumptions wrong."I have a bottle of scotch at the table but your, welcome to buy me what you like. afterwards if you feeling knocking back some shots, I'm game if you are. to be perfectly honest, I have been waiting for a reason to hurt the lot of them. I know I don't need a reason but it makes it more fun." He finished with a laugh. " I hope I din't misinterpret and I have actually just ran off some wanted attention." Abyss leaned on the bar looking at the well polished counter. it must have been the last thing in the place that got attention, once it went though, the whole place would be shoddy and uncared for.

"what do you drink?" the big man offered. He'd still let her buy him a drink, but if they were both shopping for drink well they'd both be drinking more.

Sapphire had to say she was pleasantly surprised by the mans manners, she didn't think he would have that many considering the whole, looking like a giant red version of the jolly green giant. Then again, looks could very well be deceiving considering the fact that she didn't look like your typical assassin. She looked at the well polished counter intently before sitting on the bar stool in front of her, having stood up from the incident before.

"I drink Rum, the good rum, none of that cheap rum and none of those fruity drinks men try to give women when they want to impress them. I drink rum, straight from the bottle or more typically in a glass." Sapphire told him, "What is it you drink my dear? By your crimson appearance I could say you drink a good deal of tomatoes Juice or perhaps the Blood of your enemies, but that would leave us in an odd spot because I doubt they have either of those here. However, I dont believe we have been properly introduced,my name is Sapphire." Sapphire smiled a little at the red man and offered her hand to him politely.

Abyss takes Sapphires hand with a subtle and purposefully gentle maneuver, his thumb rubs the back of her hand softly and briefly.
" I wouldn't be surprised if they had some v8 around for bloody mary's and if I was looking for blood well those idiots have at least 24 pints between them. he smirks.but no, When I mutated I took on the devil's hue, at least that is what my mother screamed at me the last time I saw her.

He pauses returning to the first question. I am drinking whiskey today,JD strait from the bottle. he smirks and for you, I'd suggest the Captain Morgan's. Private stash if you got it" he points the last toward the bar keep. glass optional. its not badly price and its good stuff. its no rubi ray reserve, but its good for the money.
