WHO: Alex & Sammy
WHERE: Maurtia Falls 007
WHEN: shortly after this
WHAT: Drinks.
WARNINGS: to be added if needed, but there will be at least terrible flirting from Alex


Alex didn't do this sort of thing. Usually. But then again he didn't really flirt openly with guys so it was definitely a turning point for him. He wasn't sure what he was expecting things to be or what was going to happen. He'd eventually found his way to Maurtia Falls 007 as he'd been directed. It was a learning experience for him getting from DeChima out to Maurtia Falls. Not what he'd been expecting. That seemed to be the theme for him that day.

He stood outside a moment before he finally knocked. He wasn't sure what to be expecting. But then again was he going to be what Sammy was expecting.

The last thing Sammy should be doing was anything remotely like encouraging a guy that was flirting with him -- once he realized that was happening. But, he was a long ways from King Falls and well, there isn't too much harm in flirting?

The morals of fiances being lost in voids possibly forever is questionable at best for what's wrong or right in any arena... But it's just drinks for now. There's nothing questionable about that.

Honestly, Sammy didn't really have any expectations as he opened the door. He was dressed in jeans in a sweater and his hair was pulled up into a mess manbun as was his usual style. "Hey," he greeted. "Come in."

Alex was in his usual jeans and a button down shirt, it usually took some extreme of the weather to change him from that when he wasn't going running. He closed the door behind himself then ran a hand through his hair as he followed Sammy in.

He was in danger of rambling awkwardly about something that would sound terrible. "I don't normally do anything like this."

[sassydadfriend]

Sammy looks amused at that comment. "You don't have drinks with someone you just met normally?"

[actiii_scenei]

"No, I really don't." Alex laughed. "It sounds stupid right, but I'm a mutant and back home we're not well liked. Add to that the other thing I'm kinda screwed. Doing something like this could be a trap. It just didn't..." Alex frowned then smiled. "You didn't sound like you would be like that though."

[sassydadfriend]

"Why are you guys not well liked?" Sammy asks, asking questions comes pretty naturally and he makes a gesture toward the couch. He shrugs a little. "I'm not the trapping kind. What would you like to drink?"

[actiii_scenei]

"Because we're scary and dangerous." Alex shrugged. "Because we're different and they're scared of different because it doesn't conform to whatever image they want so..." He wasn't sure where he was going with that. He worried what he sounded like as he sat down.

"I'm glad I made myself sound like an idiot to talk to you then. And you got beer?"

[sassydadfriend]

"So it's just because you're different, That's stupid," Sammy says and he grabs them both a beer and then offers one to Alex before sitting on a chair that faced the couch.

[actiii_scenei]

"People are generally stupid." Alex took the beer and sat back. "It never helps anyone. You don't have mutants where you're from then?"

[sassydadfriend]

"I can't exactly argue that," a lot of people are stupid, not all ill-intentioned but still.

"No. Werewolves, vampires, aliens..." there's a lot of weird things in King Falls.

[actiii_scenei]

"Wow, sounds like it's interesting for you then." He laughed.

He nearly said sorry but he stopped himself and took a long drink of the beer.

[sassydadfriend]

"Annoying more like it..." And there's more but there's no need to get grim and dark when you're first meeting someone.

"I think your world sounds interesting too."

[actiii_scenei]

"It's at least a good thing about turning up here, learning about different places right?" He could look at the positive side of things... but grim and dark were depressingly normal for him as well so they could talk about those things and he wouldn't be bothered.

[sassydadfriend]

“I guess that is one way to look at it,” Sammy smiles and takes a drink of his beer.

“I’m still not completely sure any of this is real.”

[actiii_scenei]

"Why wouldn't it be real?"

He pauses a moment.

"I'm too sober for an existential crisis." But he laughs.

[sassydadfriend]

“I don’t know. Ever seen the Matrix?”

But sammy can understand the sentiment.

“Is there a ‘drunk enough’ point though?”

[actiii_scenei]

"The what?" He's from the early 80s. There's many movies he would probably love to see.

He considered it a moment. "You may have a point."

[sassydadfriend]

"Guess not..." Sammy chuckles and he doesn't really want to get into explaining that particular movie but maybe there was a copy somewhere for a later watch...

"I definitely always have a point it just varies whether it's dull or sharp."

[actiii_scenei]

That made Alex laugh. A rare real burst of laughter from him. He liked the way Sammy said that.

"I like that. I may have to steal it."

[sassydadfriend]

That's a nice laugh and it draws a warm smile out of Sammy before he takes another drink of his beer.

"I wouldn't mind."

[actiii_scenei]

"Good."

He then went a little red, he remembered why he didn't usually do anything like this. He wasn't good with his feelings.
