“Din ye have yer own business tae loiter at?” Mateo is the last person Jamie wants to see at Ambrosia. On account of he doesn’t want the wee flirt to see him at Ambrosia. But that aside, he still manages to regard him coolly as he grabs his martini off of the bar and goes back to scanning the room. Weekdays are quieter, which probably explains why he’s engaging with the other vampire at all, idle hands and all that. @mateoaguilars​

“I didn’t expect to see you back so soon.” It’s brutally honest and definitely not a charming statement, he can throw that out the window for the moment. Because he’s relieved, first and foremost. Leighton has seen what the mysteries of the bay can do to people up too close lately, he’s glad they haven’t taken another casualty in the form of the younger vampire. He’s back in that same spot at the bar as he had been the first time they’d met because he’d be lying if he hadn’t been actively looking for the other since that night. A couple of banter-filled evenings didn’t warrant a phone number, all he had was Mateo’s job and the fact that some vampire’s liked showing up at Void from time to time. “Must have been an interesting end to that evening.” His smile is sarcastic for a moment and then with a twitch of his lips, it’s sympathetic. “You alright? Because I think it’s perfectly fine not to be, all things considered.” @mateoaguilars​
