(( Tag; Dorian Gray ))
Armand hadn't expected for the smoke of the place to affect him like this. He wasn't mortal- he couldn't be drugged be this. But his senses were sort of overkill in this case. He stepped through faint wisps of second-hand smoke, turning his face away form the sickly sweet scent. It was pricking his nerves and making him feel irritated and restless, sharp all around the edges. The hunger wasn't helping- he should have gone to the docks for an easier kill. But no. He'd wanted something a little less anonymous this time.
All the same. Vampires weren't supposed to get headaches.

"Not used to this kind of place, I take it," *came a smooth, arrogant voice belonging to a golden haired youth sprawled sensuously on a pile of cushions nearby.*

Armand's eyes narrowed coolly- not because the other had done anything annoying or irritating, not yet. Just because he was in that sort of mood.
"No." he said. "I'm not." A delicately raised eyebrow. "I take it you are?"

*He smiled and nodded in assent. The look of smug shameless pride didn't match his smooth angelic face.*
"I must admit, as much as it pains me to do so, that I am," *he said, without even bothering to feign shame.* "What brings you to such a low establishment, then, my friend?"

Armand paused, gave him a considering look. "Entertainment," he said. "Or the lack thereof."

"Entertainment?" *he asked, his lilting tone and quirk of his eyebrow enough to give the simple word very... unsavory connotations.*
*He propped his head up on his hand, giving the stranger an inviting look.*
"What kind of entertainment?"

Armand didn't return the eyebrow look. "Anything."

"Care to join me, then?" *he asked, with a careless tilt of the head.*

Armand slid onto the cushion with Dorian without a word, blinking rapidly against another curl of smoke. One hand raised, hesitantly, to wave it away.
"Is this your idea of entertainment, then?" he asked, in a low, almost disapproving voice. "Clouding your senses with this...drug?"

"One idea of many," *Dorian drawled languidly.* "I try to indulge in every possible vice. It's the best way, I've found, to feel alive."
*He smirked.*
"Opium doesn't suit your tastes? Shall we find something that does?"

"It's the best way, I've found, to feel alive." That almost made Armand laugh.
"What precisely did you have in mind?" he asked, a smile hanging about his lips. He knew what he wanted, of course- he could feel the mortal's heat even from a few feet away. No one would notice his slumped figure in this murk. Or rather, it wouldn't be at all unusual.

"Perhaps something of a more... indelicate nature, perhaps?" *he asked, his face all innocence.*

"Perhaps," Armand said, his voice dropping to a murmur. "I almost hesitate to consider what you would find indelicate."

"Would you like to find out?"

"Would you care to show me?"
