"There's a story," Skylar said, gesturing approval with his glass. He took a drink and rested his glass on the table without really letting go of it. "So you're the guys to party with around here?" It was hilarious, but considering the rest, he'd believe it. Why not?

"It depends," Michael said. "We used to go out just about every Friday night, but once the twins came that kind of stopped. Dare still goes out regularly and sometimes I go with him." He eyed his glass, took a deep breath that screamed I'm going to regret this, then knocked back the last of the liquid. His eyes immediately burned. "I don't think I did that right," he said as he set the glass back down.

Skylar laughed, but the look on Michael's face was enough not to need a tease on top of it. Still, he chuckled as he picked up the bottle to pour a little more. "This time, pick it up, take half a breath, and just down it. This sh~ is worth drinking slowly, but I can't let you leave doing it like that." It was just too funny. He was teaching Michael Hardt to drink liquor.

Michael sighed as he picked up the glass and eyed the liquor. He was already starting to feel warm, though, and the prospect of giving it another try didn't seem quite as daunting. "Okay, but if I fail this one, I'm not trying again," he said. After another moment of eying the glass and a shake of the head at himself, he gave it another try. Well, that one at least didn't make it feel like his nose was burning. As much.

Skylar did a half-arsed job of smothering a chuckle. "All right, just take it slow then," he said. He topped his glass off, then gave Michael enough to last him if he took his time. When he set down the bottle, he pulled his wand out of one pocket and a pack out of the other. "You smoke?" he asked.

Michael shook his head. "I think I'm good with this," he said, gesturing with the glass, though he had no urge to take another sip right then. He felt very warm and his thoughts were a little fuzzy. He chuckled and ruffled his hair, "I can't believe I'm doing this." It was completely ridiculous to think of.

"Drinking?" Skylar asked. He gave his wand a flick and another of his older purchases found its way out of the box on the counter. He didn't have much crystal left, but he liked to look at it while he was drinking, and and he liked to smoke while he was at it, too. He cast a quick spell to seal off the room, and the bit of smoke that had already made it into the living room was cut off. "Nasty habit," he said, even as he brought up his hand to indulge.

"Well, drinking, and sitting here with you, who's got a kid," Michael said. "And we've just been mentioning Death Eater stuff sometimes. I helped get you a job here. And I learned how to take a shot. Kind of." It had been an interesting few days. He tilted the glass to his lips and took a surprisingly smooth sip. Apparently, whiskey did have a flavor once he got past the burning.

Skylar chuckled again. "Kind of," he repeated. "I can't believe I've got a f~ing job. I hope my dad's f~ing rolling in his grave." He took a long drag and rested his arm on the table, letting the end of the cigarette hang over the ashtray. "I still can't believe your mum's okay with all this. Sh~, is there a rule you haven't tossed on its arse yet?"

"Ah..." Michael thought, looking off across the room as he tried to come up with one. "I never actually did anything wrong at a ball. It was Mano who was into pulling pranks and I never got into chasing girls. Or guys. A lot of them don't care as long as there's a hole." He had really just said that. Drinks had never hit him this quickly. But then, he'd never had this amount so quickly, either.

Skylar let out a bark of laughter. "Emilian Sota," he offered, chuckling. No, he'd never heard rumors about Michael stomping hearts and leaving *lady parts* crying. It was great that the best the guy could think of, admittedly a little buzzed, was never misbehaving at a ball. Or chasing girls. Or guys. He supposed that was a big one.

"I swear, between him and Mano, those two slept with 80% of Society," Michael claimed. He was sure Eros figured in there, too, but Mano and Emilian were the biggest offenders. "It was ridiculous, really, and Emilian spent half the time he wasn't in bed with someone trying to get me to get in bed with someone, it drove him mad."

"Didn't know Mano was on both teams," Skylar said, "but Emilian hit on me a couple times. I figured he was just trying to get a rise out of me after the first time and blew him off." Emilian had seemed to have a goal of f~ing everything that moved at least once. "You got laid sometimes though, right?"

Michael took another sip and shook his head. "Dare was my first," he said. "Not that Emilian didn't try. He tried all the time, it got so old. But I'm glad it was Dare, he's amazing." Really amazing, and this was the first time he could remember hanging out with someone like this without Dare. He wondered what Dare was doing now.

"Good for you, Michael," Skylar said. He really didn't need to hear how much Michael liked his gay sex, and he took a bit longer of a drink when he raised his glass again. "So uh... when did you realize you were gay?" Skylar had never seen anything to tip him off. Mano wasn't too surprising, when he thought about it though. The whole group of them had seemed a little femme sometimes.
