A. GUILTY PLEASURES
Jean-Claude sits at his usual place at the corner of the bar at Guilty Pleasures. However, that's probably the only normal thing about it. Where he would normally be surveying the crowd, trying to ascertain whether the crowd is enjoying itself and trying to do what he can to see that they do if not, he has other things on his mind at the moment. There are hunters in Islington, attacking his people. Raymond had formed an alliance with Midnight, and then Redbright had called in her dogs and effectively eradicated them.

Jean-Claude is willing to bet that Raymond isn't going to be happy about this. He's just waiting for the next pin to drop. And questioning what there is exactly to do about it. And when. When should he make his move. When should he gather his people and put a stop to this. Preferably before they come to regret not having done so. But only hindsight will allow them such knowledge, and Jean-Claude is not about to make the same mistake twice.

He will admit, however, it's making him very distracted. And nowhere near as fun as he normally is.


B. A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
There's only so long that Jean-Claude can dwell by himself in his own club before he recognizes that the patrons might catch on that something is the matter, and so it is that he decides to go for a walk. To try and clear his head, or that's the idea at least. It is more accurate to say, as Jean-Claude makes his way through the streets of London, tugging his frock coat closer against himself against the night air, that at least he's getting his heavy thoughts out of his club and away from public view.

He is perhaps thinking a little too hard for the environment he finds himself in. But he doesn't exactly anticipate that he should be running into anyone to interrupt his thoughts. Not at such a time of night, not in such a place as this. Perhaps he should have been paying more attention, however. If he had then he might have remembered the mention of hunters in the territory and therefore been instantly more aware of his surroundings and the people -- or creatures -- he may find around him.

But he had excused himself and his thoughts out of the club for a reason, and as such is entirely unaware of whoever he might run into on such a night as this.

"Well," Finnick says with a wry smile, "I smell terribly good to people like you. Can't risk someone deciding to make a meal of me."

His tone is more seductive than it should be considering he's talking about being mauled and eaten. Of course, he wants to gauge Jean-Claude's suitability for whatever Eames has in mind, and that means getting him talking. He gets the feeling that this is the language Jean-Claude speaks.

"How thoughtful of you," Finnick replies, barely dripping with sarcasm. He stands up tall and tilts his chin up as he gives Jean-Claude a thoughtful once-over. "Do you make a point of being a friend to the fae, or is it just the 'not eating us unless we say it's alright' thing you've got going?"
thelittlemerman: (neutral//you are not worth my time)

"You won't," Finnick says with the type of finality indicating it's a promise he means to keep. "Vampires have seen enough of my blood. I'm afraid I won't be in a sharing mood for quite some time."
thelittlemerman: (snark//i don't care)

"One?" Finnick asks incredulously, raising both eyebrows. "No, not just one, but if you're asking whether or not there's someone you need to punish then you don't have to worry. I like to think I would have taken care of that if I knew any of them were still around."

He finishes presumptuously (though sarcastically,) "but I appreciate the thought."
