The sounds of violent commotion within ‘ CLAVES ‘ were nothing new. Beer bottles breaking, tables splintering, and glass shattering -- it was a common occurrence as of late; especially when he was around. It was never his fault, though, of course-- he was always provoked.
‘ G’dammit, Cent!! You can’t keep fucking assaulting
my patrons; soon enough this damn place’ll be empty! ‘
❝Well maybe you should keep your dogs on a leash, ‘eh?❞ Came the offender’s response, chuckling quietly as he drew the back of his sleeve across his lips, clearing away the faint traces of blood that trickled from his nose. His jaw throbbed a little with a dull pain-- it’d probably bruise, but who gave a damn? These two idiots were left a lot worse off than he was, after all.
Speaking of said idiots-- he’d grind the heel of his shoe into one of their backs, reaching out to grasp at the previously discarded shot glass, lifting it to his lips and polishing off the remains of the booze he’d paid for. A satisfied, throaty sigh would leave him, afterward, before giving the barkeep an amused glance. ❝Ah, c’mon... stop looking at me like that, gramps! You know the girls I pull in here on any given night can more than make up for two dumbass drunkards.❞
He took the tender's groan of annoyance and redirecting of his gaze as a sign of forgiveness ( as it usually was ) before his lips would pull upward into a smirk, the ebon haired male moving to seat himself infront of the counter, comfortably, once more-- the scent of expensive perfume drawing his attention over to his right, if only for a second. A head of ivory hair greeted him, as well as tight clothing, eyes brimming with a sense of superiority, and fine fabrics draped over a commendable figure.
‘ A rich girl, huh? ‘ were his first thoughts. Cent was usually right about these things, he had an eye for women, after all, to say the least. ❝Sorry about that,❞ came his drawl, after a few moments of silent staring, gloved hand rising to gingerly cradle his cheek, as well. ❝If I’d known such a beautiful lady were going to be watching, I would’ve put on a far better show.❞
