Vancouver, being Vancouver, lacks a vibrant night life, or for that matter a dingy one. Take this alleyway, for instance. Completely empty. Where are the muggers? Where are the filthy strays? New York clicks its counterfactual tongue in grimy disapproval.

That said: the alleyway is empty. It would be a shame if something... happened to it.

Rar! It is a highly bitey flower. It gnaws on the twig enthusiastically.

Ari chuckles and pulls out a bit of unidentified jerky from a coat pocket. "D'you want to keep the madblossom? It'll calm down if you feed it, and it'd look nice in your hair."

[between_worlds]

"Sure, thanks. I can be pretty and no one will ever think to confiscate a flower."

[bitterchill]

"Nice!"

He guides Alex's hand through the process of feeding the flower; it purrs, and Ari places it gently behind Alex's ear.

"Very stately. You could be a shortish Sidhe and I your human servant. Except I'd be wearing too many clothes."

[between_worlds]

Alex pets the flower and asks, half grinning and slightly flushed, "Too many clothes?"

[bitterchill]

Ari coughs delicately. "Generally, when a Sidhe employs a human, the human dresses for their job. That job is generally 'concubine.'"

Alex's eyes grow distant for a moment, and then flash back to Ari's face (definitely his face, not anywhere else, definitely not anywhere else).
"So, umm, how does one become a Sidhe lord?"

[bitterchill]

"Hereditary position, sorry to say. Concubines aren't sidhe-exclusive, though. You can find 'em anywhere. If you know where to... look."

Ari knows where to look. Or at least, he knows where he wants to look. He looks there.

[between_worlds]

"I think I might have an idea."

[bitterchill]

Ari claps his hands together. "In that case, let's get back to reality so we can get on with this sans goblin attack, hm? That sort of thing goes more smoothly without the risk of being ripped into pieces."

Alex looks around.
"I do hate to leave faerieland though, goblins aside."
