It seemed as if letting go of his suspicion suddenly made Bas feel relaxed. Or at least more relaxed. He took a long pull on his drink, allowing the music of the place to wash over him. It felt good not to be looking over his shoulder, with these guys at least. Ponytail and his friends seemed good natured enough. Course that wasn't hard, not really. The girls here were beautiful in every meaning of the word. The company and the decor were designed to make one feel at home- though Bas doubted most men's homes enjoyed such...perks.
He looked over past the stage and saw Tatyana with a worried look. He smiled at her and waved her over. She grimaced and walked out of sight. Ah jeeze. Guess he was in trouble. He couldn't blame her. He was going to have to go see her.
Just as he thought of getting up Wallet's wallet buzzed and he looked at it before excusing himself. He knew the drill from his own line of work. In the meantime, Ponytail quipped about dying. Bas snorted. "True enough. Though dying here in Kallisti is not how I'd like to go."
He paused. "Well, maybe get my day started here. Bring the party to my place. Die in the embrace of a beautiful woman or three? Yeah, I could handle that."
He winked as he took is drink.
Wallet returned, seeming a bit put out. Work, he said. Bas shrugged and noticed the soreness in his shoulder. After a moment, he let the power go and the soreness faded to a slight ache. He looked back where Tatyana had gone. "Well gentlemen, I have a lady friend who is upset with me."
His smile became lopside and his voice dropped conspiratorially. "They are the spice of life, though."
He downed his drink and stood. "Thank you for your hospitality."
