"And did you?"

"I did!"

"Congratulations!" He raises his glass.

Audrey clinks her root beer bottle against Gianno's glass and takes another gulp, mmmmmming as the wave of warmth hits her. "Yeah, having experienced friends is great."

"Let me guess, your scantily clad friend there?"

"Mmmmmmmhm."

"Who was the third?"

"A Bower Escort by the name of Kumi. Intersex kitsune, black fur."

"If you're ever looking for a third again..."

Audrey tilts her head. "So you've come to a decision about me, then?"

"Perhaps. Maybe I just like threesomes."

"Like I said, I don't generally go for men..."

He smiles. "I hear a but."

"Perhaps you do." She takes another sip of her root beer.

"I'll put my cards on the table if you do."

"Alright. I like you. I'm intrigued by the possibilities of having a pretty boy in my service. I don't really believe you when you say that you're okay with my having a cock. I think you've noticed this - " she taps the transforming necklace around her neck " - and you think you'll be able to fuck me while I happen to have a pussy. You talk a good game but actually you're hard up for partners, so much so that you're willing to try inexperienced girls like me."

"Audrey. You're selling yourself massively short. You're hot, articulate, and I would love to suck your cock."

"You what." 

"I would love to suck your cock." He carefully pronounces every syllable.

"That's what I thought you said. Really?"

"Yes, really. Is it so hard to believe?"

Are you gay or something - 

Wait a fucking second, hold up. That's transphobia. And homophobia. 

"Uh," she bites her lip, "Yes, apparently." 

"Do you want me to prove it?"

"Not in the club, please."

He smiles. "Where, then?"
