Julian's Chance at Revenge (Closed)

[Shadowcat]

((OOC: Takes place after Kitty excuses herself in the First Visit thread))

Kitty was still laughing at the mental image of phasing during kung fu as she bumped into various people on her way to the rest room. She must have said "Excuse me" a dozen times. In the restroom, she stared at herself in the mirror. She wasn't sure how long she had been standing there, but she noticed a woman looking at her and snapped, "Take a friggen' picture!" and the woman had scampered out of the restroom.

Soon, Kitty was wandering back into the fray, kind of aimlessly. She was easily distracted by people dancing and was mildly tempted to join them. This idea started Kitty laughing again, so she stopped near a table to steady herself.

Julian had gone back to Hellfire, hoping to find Monet again. Annoyingly enough, though, she didn't appear to be there. Just his luck. A friggin' Saturday night in the friggin' 'greatest' city in America, and he had no one to screw. That was unfortunate. Still, Hellfire was hopping; surely he could turn his charm onto another unsuspecting mutant girl.

Heading for the bar, he cast his eyes around once more, trying, in vain, to catch a glimpse of Monet. Alas, no spoiled rich girl with a penchant for causing his body to ache. However....His eyes fell on none other than Kitty Pryde, that silly little chit who'd given him his, in Monet's opinion, sexy shiner. Taking a seat in a corner, he ordered a rum and Coke and sat, sipping it, his eyes never leaving the prim little kitten. He watched, with no small amount of amusement, as she nearly chugged down three beers; he knew that, a girl her size, would prove to be a lightweight. Either that, or she garner his unspoken respect. Not that that would stop him from getting his revenge on her, and her pathetic Lord Galahad. But, as it turned out, she was indeed a lightweight, which was proved when she stood up and stumbled her way toward the restrooms. He snickered, watching her, before polishing off the rest of his drink and following her.

He didn't wait where she would see him when coming out of the bathroom, although whether she could see how many fingers were on her right hand would be somewhat of a miracle, in his mind. She was smashed. Perfect. When she finally did come out of the bathroom, he followed her until she stopped. That's when he made his opening move. "Kitty?" he asked, faking incredulity. "What are you doing here?"

[Shadowcat]

Kitty jumped with surprise and wobbled a bit. When she recognized Julian, in her intoxicated state, she grinned happily. "Julian!" She exclaimed, then put a hand over her mouth as if she had grievously mispoken. In an exaggeratedly ashamed tone, she asked, "You're not still mad at me, are you?"

[Hellion]

His lips pursed. "Hm," he said. He pretended to deliberate over it for a moment. Finally, he shook his head. "Nah," he claimed. "Water under the bridge, though your boyfriend might not approve of you being seen with me. Is he here?" His head swiveled, as if expecting to find Ramsey somewhere nearby, waiting to kill him for talking to his girlfriend.

[Shadowcat]

Kitty leaned forward and gestured for Julian to do the same. She then whispered quite loudly, "Girl's night out" and then winked and put her index finger to her lips to show that this was a big secret, though it wasn't.

[Hellion]

Julian brows rose in mock surprise and a grin lit his face. "Oh really?" he said. He mused for a moment. "Do you think your friend would tell on me if I asked you to dance?"

[Shadowcat]

Kitty looked confused, then remembered Lorna. She got on her tip toes and scanned the bar, and saw that Lorna was actually talking to someone, which surprised Kitty. "It looks like she's otherwise occupado, if you know what I mean." Kitty said with another laugh. "But I'm a terrible dancer, seriously."

[Hellion]

He flashed her a charming smile. "Oh, I doubt that," he said. "It's all about the leading." Then, to really win her over, he pitched his voice lower, more seductive. "Trust me."

[Shadowcat]

In all reality, Julian had the potential to be really charming and he was extremely good looking. Kitty had never received flirtatious advances from anyone but Doug, and was flattered by it. Granted, if she had been sober, she wouldn't have stopped to talk to him at all, but that was irrelevant at this point. She looked into his powerfully intense eyes for a long moment, considering the offer. Finally, she shook her head. "Why don't we sit down and have a drink instead?"

[Hellion]

Julian chuckled in earnest at that. "Honestly, kitten?" He eyed her. "I think you've had your limit. Best to dance it out of your system," he added. Again, he pitched his voice to seducing level. "I promise not to let you make a fool of yourself." He smirked as if to hold back another chuckle.

[Shadowcat]

Kitty blushed at this, and caught herself wondering what she had ever had against poor Julian. She looked down, then back into those eyes...

"Just one more drink?" She pleaded, knowing that after another drink she wouldn't care what she looked like dancing.

[Hellion]

Considering her for a moment, Julian thought, Eh, what the hell? Not like it'll kill her. Leaning toward her, his lips brushing her earlobe, he murmured in his sexy voice, "Only if you allow me to pay."

[Shadowcat]

Kitty giggled and moved away from Julian. "If you insist." She said, and she plopped down in the chair nearest her.

[Hellion]

"Oh," he smirked, sitting down in the chair beside her. "I do indeed." Holding up his hand to signal, he called over the music, "Waiter!" When the Hellfire employee came over to them, he said, "Double shot of bourbon for me and..." He looked to Kitty, a seductive brow raised.

[Shadowcat]

"Corona with lime." She said with a punk rock snarl, then laughed at herself.
