What'll It Be?

Laurent Charles, but you can call me Saint, if you're feeling ironic. I run Saint's Bar in town come by if you need a drink or to vent, they say I'm a great listener-- when I'm sober at least. {Dionysus}

Laurent milled about behind the bar, cleaning up and putting dirty glasses away, “hm? Oh well I have a few half siblings but that’s just because my dads the biggest ass you’ll ever meet and he’s got more bastards than he can count. I’m just one of them” Laurent had no problem talking about his family good or bad, he just said whatever came to mind.

Emilia laughed lightly and shook her head. “Yeah. My dad’s the same way. Or was…” Her light-hearted expression darkened a little. “I haven’t heard from him in a while,” she explained. She took a sip of her drink.

Laurent nodded slightly, "really? That's a pity. Pretty girl like you deserves a nice family not as asshole for a dad. Me on the other hand, I might deserve to be a bastard." He said with a chuckle.

“Yeah but..I’m a bastard kid too ‘nix..and I fuckin hate my dad. He’s an asshole and I hate him so why wouldn’t my kids hate me?”

“Because you are not your father.” Phoenix replied simply before taking his hand in hers. “I refuse to believe that they would hate you over something that isn’t your fault” 

[notasaintlaurent-blog]

"But they don't know that it's not my fault. They just think I'm some ass who left them..and if they're mine I know they'd hold that grudge they all have my anger.."

Mythology Meme [9/12]

Dionysus [Διόνυσος] is the Greek god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy.

Dionysus is the son of Zeus and the mortal Selene and was the last to be accepted into Mt. Olympus. He is the youngest and the only one with a mortal mother. He is depicted as a beardless, sensuous, naked or half-naked androgynous youth: the literature describes him as womanly or “man-womanish”.

Alcohol, especially wine, played an important role in Greek culture with Dionysus being an important reason for this life style. Dionysus is represented by city religions as the protector of those who do not belong to conventional society and thus symbolizes everything which is chaotic, dangerous and unexpected, everything which escapes human reason and which can only be attributed to the unforeseeable action of the gods.

“His blood, the blood of the grape, lightens the burden of our mortal misery.”

Laurent smiled at the conversation, his children always have been something he loved to speak of. “I wonder if they hate me..I mean I’ve never been around for any of them, they don’t know me they just think I’m some deadbeat dad who was never around…”

“I doubt they would hate you.” She smiled softly. “They have to have clues as to why you weren’t. They probably figured that it wasn’t your fault.” She sighed softly at the thought, “I’m sure that’s not the case… After all, no matter what you are still their father.”

“You got it, tea it is then.” Laurent shrugged, “it’s not a problem at all, I mean anyone is welcome here no matter the age.” He smiled before going over to make the tea and bringing it back a few minutes later. “Enjoy, even though it’s not from a proper cafe I think it’s alright.” He said with a laugh.

[fvckmclanic-blog]

‘ well that makes me feel a lot better. ‘ she grinned. harmonia hadn’t been out in ages, but she was glad that the one time she did, it was here with such nice people. she took the tea gratefully, taking a sip, ‘ it tastes exquisite. ‘

[notasaintlaurent-blog]

"Well thank you, I'm here to please" Laurent said with a soft chuckle and a wink to the girl. "So you live around here?"

[notasaintlaurent-blog]

“Where am I from?” Laurent had never thought of what to say if he was asked that question. So he came up with the first place he knew of, his second home away from Olympus. “Italy. I wanted to get a taste of America so I moved here. I used to work on a vineyard but now I’m here. Alcohol is my specialty I guess.”

[emiliaofwisdom-deactivated20160]

Emma smiled, her eyes watching him studiously. Blue/grey irises almost disappeared behind her lashes as she looked down at her drink before returning her gaze back to him. “So you’re an… only child?” She took a sip of her drink.

“Of course. We also have tea though, and coffee? If you’d like.”

[fvckmclanic-blog]

‘ tea will do just fine! thank you— i had no idea this was a bar, otherwise i probably would have gone to a cafe… i hope you don’t take offence to that. ‘

"You got it, tea it is then." Laurent shrugged, "it's not a problem at all, I mean anyone is welcome here no matter the age."

Laurent had taken to leaning against the back counter sipping his wine contently, very happy with making calm conversation, even when he did notice her drifting off into her thoughts a bit before speaking again. “Not as many as I would hope. Sometimes I meet them here but it’s mostly mortals. Currently, us Olympians are not interacting very much.” He delicately danced around the fact that the he and other gods didn’t actually know who the others were and they were on the run and in hiding from the Titans. That was a family affair and seemed like someone she didn’t need to know.

[raetalon]

As hard as Rae attempted to retain her goddess like composure she relaxed noticeably at his words. As if on instinct she took a larger gulp of her wine in relief as she considered the new development. At least for the moment she was safe. “Im sorry to hear that .” The words were automatic and held none of her sincerity as she recounted her own estrangement from her clan. The fact that she had lost a sizable amount of memory however and awoken to the chaos of the disappearance of the other gods had made her wary of other gods and even her own but she had to have answers. “Well with drinks like this I find it hard to believe they wouldnt frequent this place more often. Have- have you met anyone by chance from The British Isles I- Im looking for someone in particular but no ones seen them.” A complete lie but she had to find others from her world if she could.

[notasaintlaurent-blog]

“Ah it’s fine my family stops by on occasion but we’re trying to find some space at the moment.” Laurent shrugged off the obviously false apology. “British isle? No I can’t say I have, why, is that where your faction of gods is from?” He asked quietly, quirking a brow from behind his wine glass as he drank. “Are you trying to find them?”

[raetalon]

Toying with the half empty glass she laughed mirthlessly “You got me,” leaning back she chose to advert her focus from his face to his shirt as she found his graze rather probing. “ Just an old friend of mine. You’d like him I think , a charming devil when he’s properly motivated. He has something of mine that I’d like back. ” ‘The truth and a piece of mind.’ Smiling lightly to dispel her nerves and the teasing quirk of his brow. 'Cheeky fox.’

[notasaintlaurent-blog]

Laurent hummed in understanding, "I'm always a fan of charm, you'd be right about that. What did he take, if you don't mind me asking?" He asked with a grin, winning at her at the fox comment."

[notasaintlaurent-blog]

“Oh indeed. It’s my favorite alcohol if I’m honest. Or my favorite thing in general. Wine and I have been best friends since…well a very very long time to say the least.”

[emiliaofwisdom-deactivated20160]

She smiles, but it is half-hearted. Her eyes study him like a particularly interesting object. Her gaze then lowers for a moment, a more genuine-looking smile forms on her lips and she looks back up. “Where are you from? What made you come…here.” She gestured to the area in large with a tilt of her head.

[notasaintlaurent-blog]

"Where am I from?" Laurent had never thought of what to say if he was asked that question. So he came up with the first place he knew of, his second home away from Olympus. "Italy. I wanted to get a taste of America so I moved here. I used to work on a vineyard but now I'm here. Alcohol is my specialty I guess."

“It’s alright..I’m sure he’s a wonderful kid, love. I just hope mine are as well…” Laurent sighed, running a hand through his hair before pulling it up into a messy bun, “one of them came into my bar, he didn’t talk to me I just..I just felt it. I just knew they were mine, yanno? But I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.”

“He can be a bit feisty… but that’s no shock to me. –  I’m sure yours are lovely too.” She smiled gently leaning back into the couch once again. She nodded looking back to him. “I understand that completely… I mean when I would come down to see him… or get in contact with him without getting too close… I’d feel hi, I knew he was near or when he wasn’t.”
