Pool forfeit

{{ooc: from here.}}

Jay leads Eric up to his room, closing the door quietly behind them. “Like I said, within reason so if anything I suggest or ask doesn’t do it for you, just say.”

He steps back, starting to strip off. “I want to ride you. Not top you,” he add hastily, “I know it’s not your thing so I won’t ask but be on top of you, fucking myself on you.”

"Either could be fun," Eric says. Thoughtfully.

[runningred]

"I'm leaving Africa soon. How do you feel about Madrid?" Jay asks, thoughtfully.

[onceaviking]

"Spain is good," Eric says. "And Italy."

Not France. He's hasn't been back since - the last time he was there.

"London wouldn't be bad either. Although their use of CCTVs might prove a challenge."

[runningred]

"Never been a fan of Rome, don't like the architecture. I don't mind Milan."

He barks a laugh and nods towards his laptop. "London's easy if you know the right people. Mind you, the Shard is a bitch to climb but the view's pretty awesome."

[onceaviking]

It is useful knowing people who speak tech.

Eric gives him a small smile. "Milan's not bad."

[runningred]

"Let's do Milan then." Jay grins. "Italy doesn't have much in the way of capes so there shouldn't be anyone to get stroppy if we have a bit of fun."

[onceaviking]

"Capes?"

Eric has got very expressive eyebrows.

[runningred]

"Vigilantes. Superheroes. My ex-crowd." Jay admits. "They tend to get territorial if I'm in their city."

[onceaviking]

"Ah," Eric says.
"Not unlike us, then. "

[runningred]

"Some are, some aren't. Some are hardcore defenders of truth, justice and all that horse shit while others just wanna make their place safer and will do whatever it takes." Jay muses absently.

"My former mentor has been recruiting other capes for his global network," the words drip with bitter sarcasm, "but there are still plenty doing things their own way who don't mind trading tech for info and the such." He scratches a scar on his side, thinking of the ally who he got it fighting with.

"These days any vampire entering Area Five has to report to me within 24 hours. Failure to do so is a punishable offence. Repeated failure to do so is a grave punishable offence."

He stretches.

"In the old days, you were expecting to declare your presence and ask for hunting privileges, but we hardly ever did."
Godric and him.

[runningred]

Jay chuckles. "I'm sure that make you real popular." He jokes.

"Its not law with capes, just courtesy. Seeing I don't play by those rules anymore it's reserved for people I still like. Or might be useful to me as contacts."

[onceaviking]

"Not exactly, no, but we didn't have to care."

Eric puts his hands behind his head. Sprawling.

[runningred]

"That's the way to live - free of other people's bullshit and politics."

He sprawls as well, not quite touching Eric but enjoying his nearness. "So how did they drag you into becoming a sheriff?"

[onceaviking]

It takes a while before he answers and when he does, he is sounding almost too casual.

"It was an offer I couldn't refuse. I had had a little run in with our governing body and this was part of the - arrangement."

[runningred]

"Ah. That bad?" Jay knows the tone, he's used him himself too often.

[onceaviking]

Eric manages a shrug without moving his hands.
"They believed I'd been too careless in my dealings with one of the local girls."

Off-handedly. As it it hadn't really mattered.

[runningred]

Jay lets the subject drop. In so much as anyone can read Eric, Jay gets the feeling there's a lot more to that slightly flippant statement.

"But I'm guessing no-one tries that sort of thing on your path; drifting through without checking in?"

[onceaviking]

And Jay would if course be right, dropping it is definitely the smart thing to do.

"It's happened once or twice. They won't do it again. Ever."

[runningred]

Jay chuckles and rolls onto his stomach, stretching like a cat - a scarred up alley cat but a cat none the less. "Sheriff and chieftain. A powerful combination."

[onceaviking]

"I have my moments," Eric concedes.

[runningred]

"That you do!" Jay flashes him a grin and pulls himself up onto his hands and knees before dropping into a controlled tumble to land on his feet on the soft carpet. "Time for a shower, I think." There's a note of invitation there, but not of pressure.

[onceaviking]

Eric gets up as well, vampire fast, and trails after Jay into the bathroom.

[runningred]

Jay shakes his head, throwing a look over his shoulder as he pads across the tiles. "For all your strength and power, your speed worries me the most." Not that Jay seems at all worried or afraid at the moment, trusting Eric with his back as he steps under the spray. "I can't think of any way to counter attack against it."

[onceaviking]

"There isn't," Eric replies. "Humans can't compete with it. And I am fast enough to out run a lot of vampires as well."

Not boasting. Just stating a fact.
