The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Evening

Octavia had missed her last two shifts because of the trip over the holidays, but that seemed to matter to the club about as little as it had to her. Tiny hadn't said anything about it, he'd just handed her some book on mixing drinks when she'd come in.

And now she was leafing through it behind the bar, occasionally looking around the shelves for the things listed for a given drink.

The club was quiet, save for the obvious, mellow soundtrack of whatever was on the piano bar playlist for tonight.

Dante held up his phone. "Music?" he called. "Where can I plug this shit in?"

Octavia gestured towards the lately largely abandoned DJ booth.

"Over there, probably."

"Cool," Dante said, and vanished off into that direction.

Lucifer was definitely not going to approve of what came out of the speakers shortly afterward.

But Lucifer wasn't here to judge right now.

There was just Octavia, faintly raising her eyebrows at the severe change of atmosphere that seemed to cause for this entire space.

Dante wandered up to the bar with a massive grin on his face. "Told you I'd bring the loud stuff," he said.

"Yeah, seems like you have," Octavia replied with her typical dry drawl. Hard to say what she thought about it. "You want a drink to go with it?"

"You got any strawberry vodka back there?" Dante asked immediately.

"Likely disgusting," Octavia rasped, "but probably, yeah."

She was looking, anyway.

This was not a fight to pick with Dante. Ask anyone who knew and loved him. "Aw, please, it's great shit," he said. "I got like, three bottles back home for a rainy day."

He really did.

Good thing no one was picking a fight, then!

Because once Octavia found the bottle, somewhere in the middle of all the other vodka of random flavors, she poured him his drink and slid it over. Simple as that.

"Thanks," Dante said, lifting his drink in a toast. "So what do you think?"
okteiviakom: ([neu] yeah that'll suck)

Octavia looked at the bottle, then back at him.

"I'm not trying it."

That was probably not what he was actually asking, was it?

"You're missing out," Dante said, grinning, and took a big sip. "But nah, I mean about the music."

"It's fine, I guess," Octavia said mildly, putting the bottle back where it had come from. "It sounds like you."

... Now there was a memory she would say she didn't even know she had, a moment ago.

"Hey, at least you remember my musical taste," Dante said jovially, leaning against the counter. "You still play drums?"

Octavia's tone got a little more dry. "Not since I've been back." Though they'd made quite a noise when she'd kicked them over in a fit of rage. "They're down in the hold of my snogon's ship."

"Why not?" Dante asked, frowning. "You always seemed to get your aggro out on that shit."

Used to be the main reason she showed up to the store.
okteiviakom: ([neu] at least it's quiet)

"That was another life."

One that had been taken from her, one that she couldn't piece back together again.

Dante shrugged one shoulder. "You still get aggro?" he asked.

"No," Octavia said dryly. On a technicality.

Because she didn't 'get aggro', she was that all the time.

"Then I guess you don't need to hit things with sticks," Dante said easily. "But, y'know, hitting things with sticks is fun and therapeutic no matter what life you're in. I mean, if you ask me."
okteiviakom: ([neu] get out of my way)

"Noted."

Outstanding conversation, Tavi.

Dante grinned. "And if you ever do feel like hitting something again," he said, "Hit me up."

And with that, he turned his attention to his drink.
