*Interesting. Julian smelled the contents of the bottle once more.*
"I am real enough. And to my knowledge you will find no fairies down here, but there are other dangers, some more unnatural than others."

"Oh yes?"
since Julian wasn't drinking it, he snatched the bottle back and tilted it over his mouth again.
"Then I don't suppose you've seen a great monster with a mane of quills and silver teeth?"

*Julian arched a brow. That was rather specific.*
"Why, have you seen such a beast?"
*Perhaps Mother has something new he did not tell me of.*

Grantaire only grunted in response and set the bottle down on the ground next to him, tilting his head back roughly against the wall.

*Julian frowned. This was like...pulling teeth. But less fun. He knelt by the man.*
"Sir, if you have seen such a thing, I would have you tell me of it."

"Sure! In the catacombs, in the streets and in my--well someone's--house! Left a handsome mark on him, its master's left less-attractive tracks on me."
he chuckled and lifted the bottle again, barely able to hold onto it now. "Am I dead?"

*Julian sniffed his hair.*
"No. Though I would believe that you are heavily intoxicated."
*The worst part was, he really didn't know what to do with the man. He couldn't just let him lie about, but he wanted to know more about this creature.*

"I am hardly drunk at all--you don't know anything from anything. Where the hell am I, anyway? Long way off from Deleon, I'd wager." He cast about for the cork to his bottle and stuffed it down the neck clumsily, attempting to rise to his feet and deciding the ground was better anyway.
"Things not even after me, Morangias got his money, after all." he muttered, then snorted.

*Julian frowned but realized that the man would be no good to him until he sobered. He would just have to confine him until then. He caught him by the shoulder as if to steady him.*
"You will have to come with me."

He jerked back and did manage to struggle to his feet, falling back against the wall when he was up.
"Hey--you gotta pay me first, friend." he tried his best to square his shoulders and named a price far too high. "Ten Francs."

*Julian didn't understand. The man wasn't really doing anything that he deserved money for. He frowned.*
"No. Just come and rest."

"I've heard that one before--pay first! Then you can do whatever you want. Anything. It doesn't matter."

"Pay you for what?"

Grantaire screwed up his face, managing to make himself more gargoyle-like.
"Are you slow, or something?"

*Julian did not like the implication and punched the fellow square in the face. Hard.*
"No. Unlike you, my facilities and not impaired."
((The thought was he might knock him out and take him back home with him, if you're interested. Otherwise, we can keep it up here.))
