'''Jack Martingale:''' Jack winces in sympathy, and takes his lemonade from the bar to drink. His other hand slides around Aurelio's waist. "Well. 'S a ''little'' different," he says with a grin. "More freeform, at least, and...well. No issue with getting close." He gestures to a couple who are exchanging increasingly intense kisses as they dance together. | '''Jack Martingale:''' Jack winces in sympathy, and takes his lemonade from the bar to drink.

''''' | '''Aurelio Menegi:''' "Indeed..." He said with a small smirk, watching the couple in question for a moment. "Close is no problem. With an audience, that may take some getting used to." | ||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "I have no plans to make out with you in public, don't worry." Jack winks as he sips his lemonade. "I save that for other people." | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "Good to know." Aurelio chuckled, taking a sip of his own drink. "How are they doing, on that note? Our paths haven't crossed as of late." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Busy, but okay overall. We try to get together for family meals when we can, but we'd all like it to be more regular than it is." He wrinkles his nose slightly. "'S kinda life, though. Adulting sucks, even if it's easier with people you love." | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "True. Good to have people, though, even if you don't see them as much as you'd like." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Absolutely. How's your collection of people coming along?" He nudges Aurelio's shoulder gently. | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "They're doing well last I spoke with them. Haven't sworn anything yet, but the plans to do so are still there." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Yeah, it takes longer than you'd think. We still need to make shit official, maybe after the new year..." | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "Mmm. One can hope. The wording is...not my strong suit, so the others are handling that." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Mmm. You could always visit the Notary, it's her season soon, isn't it?" Jack's eyebrow twitches upwards as he grins. | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "True...not sure it's worth bothering someone of her rank to do, though." He smirked, looking Jack over. "We'll see if it's needed, though." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "...I mean I went to her to go get a tarot card reading a couple months ago, so." Jack shrugs. "I figure if she's too busy, she'll let you know, yeah?" | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "Fair point. Will talk with the others and see what they think." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Even if she's not in charge of you directly, she's still in charge of the well-being of all of us in general, you know?" Another shrug. "I say this, and haven't decided whether to talk to her myself about getting shit in writing yet, so. Grain of salt, and all that." | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' The Torrent paused a moment to parse the abbreviated saying before nodding. "Right...what goals do you and yours have on that front? Last we spoke we're looking at sharing workspace and skills to teach and be taught." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Mutual support, for the most part. Maybe something about safety in numbers, but we're not...big on flowery legalese or anything, and we're not as knit as say, DA." | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "I doubt few are." He replied with a small smirk. "I've seen them work together, and it is impressive." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' Jack nods. "Yeah, we're not quite like that. And we're okay with that, you know? Different kind of family, I guess. But it's good, I wouldn't have it any other way." There's a pause, as he drinks his lemonade. | |||
"And to be honest, I don't need it on paper that I'd be willing to die for any of 'em." Another beat. "Kill for 'em too. Live for 'em. You know?" | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "I do. That closeness is a blessing in many ways, and not something to let go of easily." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Yeah, I don't plan to let it go." Jack smiles and absently turns his engagement ring around on his finger. | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "There would be stern words for you if you did." Aurelio nodded, smiling softly as he looked towards the ring. "You're a lucky man." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Yeah, I know. Still can't get it through my head, sometimes, all this good shit I've got. And you're definitely included in that, by the way." He grins and presses a soft kiss against Aurelio's shoulder. "Some guys would not be into me talking about my partners all night." | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "Thank you. You've been good for me, too." His smile widened, leaning over to kiss the top of Jack's head before he got too far away. "They make you happy, and you happy makes me happy." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' Jack smiles against Aurelio's shoulder. "Compersion's a hell of a thing, isn't it?" | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' He paused again at the unfamiliar word, nodding after a moment with the smile still present. "If that is the word for it, then yes." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "That good feeling when you see your partner happy with another partner. Yeah. Most people only talk about jealousy and shit, but compersion is exactly the opposite and it's seriously the best." | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "Ah...good to know. And it is good, yes." | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Mhm." Jack drains the last of his lemonade. "Time to dance? I'll go easy on you, I promise..." though the glitter in his eyes and his teasing smile imply otherwise, as he pushes away from the bar and holds out his hand to the other changeling. | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' "Sure you will." He replied with a smirk, taking a moment to polish off his drink before taking Jack's hand. "Let's see what happens, no?"(edited) | |||
'''Jack Martingale:''' "Mhm," Jack repeats, and tugs Aurelio forward to kiss him hard. Maybe trying to get a little bit of a contact buzz from the alcohol on his lips, maybe not. | |||
But it only lasts for a moment or two before Jack pulls away with a grin and leads him toward the dance floor. | |||
'''Aurelio Menegi:''' The kiss was happily returned, a little swirl of heat rising from his Mantle and countering the chill of the marble the Torrent was made from. He smiled warmly, letting himself be led out onto the floor. | |||
