TEXTING: KIAN

Raff: Happy birthday 🎈

[raffertyreyes]

... Not Luca?

Close! Just as English, less posh. Annoyingly intent on being my friend.

[raffertyreyes]

Davey?

No, I came here to see Kian, remember? Who absolutely does not want to sleep with me. Believe me, I have pushed my luck there. I've got my eye on someone, don't you worry.

[raffertyreyes]

Hope you didn't come here to window shop. Unless you're into guys who spend more time covered in their own piss.

Sorry, I haven't been laid since my birthday. It's been just over a week, can you believe it?

[raffertyreyes]

I need Davey's bucket.

Well, see. Now I'm thinking about it.

[raffertyreyes]

Perish the thought. For everyone's sake.

Eurgh. Oh, you know what I mean though. Nobody is thinking you're successfully able to charm Kian into bed, darling.

[raffertyreyes]

Some of us don't have the privilege of it just being imagination.

I'd have picked one of those other words. Bedfellows gives people the wrong idea.

Oh God. Please do not ruin Davey McGrath as a sexual being for me. I have absolutely no desire to think about the inner contents of his stomach.

Bedfellows? You know, friends. Buddies. Colleagues. You have a similar temperment.

[raffertyreyes]

I've seen him half a bottle of Glenfiddich down. That was our only bottle of Glenfiddich, by the way. He nearly repainted the bathroom walls with it. Maybe if you'd have seen that, it'd cure you.

Why me and Kian what now?

Oh, pooh. You're right. I'll have to do some rethinking. I couldn't possibly give up Davey. I mean, you've seen the man, haven't you? Those eyes.

What can I say? You've charmed me. You're not bad to look at, either. Once you get past your sullen disposition. I can see why you and Kian make such good bedfellows.

[raffertyreyes]

Wouldn't blame you. Although I think Kian's brother would have something to say about that.

That's all it takes to get into your close friends circle?

Yeah. Scumbags, the lot of you. I'm thinking about giving them up for good.

Fine. Raff it is. I suppose you can call me Ari, after all.

[raffertyreyes]

She did all that for him and he left her? That's men for you, I guess.

Distinguished? That's a new one. Whatever, 'Raff' covers both bases.

I'm actually usually very good at reading things, so. The myth is that Ariadne was in love with Theseus - of course, she's best known by the man she was in love with - and when he was sent away to be sacrificed to the Minotaur, she helped him find his way back through the labyrinth that the Minotaur was at the heart of, so he could come back to her after he killed it. Of course, he repaid her by abandoning her. She marries Dionysus after that - the wine God. Perhaps that's where I get my love of a good drink? Anyway, Rafael is lovely. Very distinguished. Suits you.

[raffertyreyes]

No, you being all uppity about two sexy adults having sexy, consensual fun comes across as very bitter.

Yes. It's the myth I'm named after, though secretly I think my Mom just liked the way it sounded. What kind of name is Rafferty, anyway?

[raffertyreyes]

Didn't realise being relieved that Ezra's not waxing poetic about me came across as bitter. None taken, really. It's not like we have highbrow clientele.

Sounds like a band. I'm guessing it's not a band though. What is it, Greek?

Being bitter and frowning will give you wrinkles, darling. I'd kill to have someone march into this bar and recite a sonnet for me. Actually, I wouldn't fuck anyone who step foot in this bar. No offence. Well, some offence.

No. Though I wouldn't put it past them, they're idiots. You don't know about Ariadne and the minotaur?

[raffertyreyes]

You didn't? Ezra basically comes in here and performs a sonnet for him everytime he shows up. I hate seeing him walk through that door.

Ariadne's fine. Wouldn't want to overstep. Your parents just pick random letters when you were born?

Oh, wow. I didn't realise they were being quite so... open. That's nice for them, I guess. They're both very beautiful.

Um. It's Ariadne? I usually reserve Ari for my close friends, but you can use it too if Ariadne is too difficult for you.

[raffertyreyes]

You get the boring side of them? Lucky. Should come down here when Ezra's picking him up from a shift. it's like an episode of the fucking Twilight Zone. Never know if they're gonna fight or fuck.

Yeah. Raff. And you're... Ariana? I think.

Oh, boo. I wanted to see him. He and Ezra have become very boring since they got all pally-pally. I'll be knocking him down on the sliding scale of my favorite McGrath if he's not careful.

You're - Rafferty, right?

[raffertyreyes]

Your mistake. And he's on his break. Apparently that involves checking in with your one from the theater these days.

God, sorry. I momentarily forgot where I was and lost my little mind and thought I was in a bar that served nice wine. Oh dear. Um, I thought Kian was working today? Any chance of Kian appearing?

TEXTING: BONNIE Raff: Happy birthday

[raffertyreyes]

Do we serve what? Considering I've never fuckin' heard of that, I'm gonna go with no.
