[Alexandre]

— alexandre f.m.r

A vice of Alexandre's was drinking. Maybe some alcohol, but the crimson liquid. The feline had tried to cut back on rations, but eventually gave in, bringing forth the beast that their parents tried to monitor. Well. Now they were gone. Alex was left to fend for themselves for the last two years, so when coming across the tavern, they found the area to be quite lively. Even today, the area seemed bustling. With bodies present, there was surely someone inside that would lend themselves over to Alexandre in time.

A curious glint appeared in the domestic cat's vision when noticing Sabbath and a stranger from across the tavern. Getting up from their spot, paws cascaded across to the feathered feline and the domestic dog with a sickly sweet smile, nonchalantly showing off his sharp canines. They pushed between the two confidentially. A tail attempted to whip against Sabbath's back in a loving greeting while he offered the stranger a look up and down. Alexandre had briefly heard their name. 'Disco Hijack,' was it? Sounded like a prostitute pseudonym, but they were not one to judge.

Instead, they leveled out their gaze to meet with the other's. "Pleasure to meet you, Disco," came their coo. As they spoke to the other, his tail politely waved for the bartender to come over after serving their other patrons, hoping for a slight buzz. "Alexandre." That was both for the bartender and other. Anyone knowing Alex's name gave them pleasure, especially since they presumed they would be a regular around the tavern and around Disco, hopefully.

An interested hum left the other as he looked down at the glasses. The musk of the caramel colored liquid wafted into his sinuses, causing them to narrow their gaze. "I see you have an exploratory taste in alcohol." Sarcasm. Whiskey. Definitely wasn't Alexandre's preferred, but it'd do. In the meantime, the bartender came over to grab their own order. "Cosmopolitan, yes?" An impatient paw tapped on the table and then they leaned back, although it would never make the bartender work any faster.

Eyes reconnected with the other two, looking back and forth between the two as they sat in the middle. Two intriguing individuals indeed. A bulkier feline lined in feathered wings of a neutral color palette with a slight burst in colors. The other was a lanky canine, somewhat dirty, but held chiseled and pointed features that caused Alexandre's mind to run. The vampiric succubus wished for their attention, as he did with most, and wanted to sink their fangs into their throats with vulgar pleasure. After all, a two in one package of beautiful beings never hurt. Nevertheless, they just kept smiling as if nothing was happening in their head and awaited their alcohol.

Moments later, the bartender arrived back swiftly with a glass. Rimmed with sugar, the cherry-hued liquid swayed as it was set down with a clink. Alexandre shot a pleased grin in their direction, only for them to turn and go back to their job in return. With a paw starting to wrap carefully around the glass' stem, the feline looked at Disco curiously. "To new beginnings?" they questioned. The glass raised slightly, looking for a toast.
