Nash snickered at Vex's words, the vibration of his chuckle against the raven's skin. At the noise that came from his mate, he couldn't help but keep nipping at the sensitive skin beneath his lips. "That's true," he whispered against the warm skin beneath his lips. "I am a bit of a tease, aren't I?" He wiggled in his mate's arm. "Though, don't pretend I don't keep my own promises either," he added with a light growl and another nip.

Biting his lips as a chill ran down his spine at his mate's words, Nash looked up at Vex with his near-glowing emerald eyes. "Oh do you?" He questioned before he happily allowed himself to be pulled into the raven's lap. Nash dipped his head lower and off to the side as he melted against Vex's kisses, shivering slightly at the feel of warm lips against his skin.

Vex continued to leave a warm trail down his neck and shoulders, a particularly sensitive spot on the wolf, causing him to shiver against the raven. "Then what's your excuse?" Nash shot back, pressing his back firmly against the reaper behind him. "Or have you just been around me long enough to have a bit of red-head in you as well?" Nash teased with a wink and a chuckle.

He brought both his own hands down to lay over Vex's hand against the swell of his stomach, practically able to feel the warmth radiating between their hands and their child. It excited him to think of having a child with Vex, but also scared him to think that he'd have to give up his work on the farm. His father certainly couldn't do it on his own, especially since the injury to his leg a couple of years back. He shook his head to dismiss those thoughts, wanting to think of nothing but positive things when it came to their growing child.

Nash eyed the interaction between the strange and Sonata, ready to step in at any sign of things going south. He knew the youkai could take care of himself in most normal situations, but everything about the stranger seemed to scream unnatural. "If you say so," Nash muttered. "Sometimes I think Sonny just likes to flirt with danger in general. Keep an eye on him, okay, Vex?" He frowned, not wanting to see anything happen to his close friend.

A hum of approval escaped Matthias' lips, seemingly satisfied with the answer he got. For a moment their gazes locked, icy blue mixing with a deep violet in a swirling ocean color. However it wasn't long before Matthias was distracted from the youkai's words by a customer down the bar. There was irritation towards his conversation being interrupted, but before he could strike himself, the youkai beat him to it and the man slumped to the side without another word. A pity, he was almost looking forward to a fight.

The youkai was as impressive as he was attractive, but he fought to keep himself focused on the job. At the last comment, Matthias stuck his hand into the pocket of his long coat, fingers folding around a cold piece of metal.

Pulling the gold piece from his coat he brought it up to the violet gaze of the other man. "Then what about gold?" He asked with a cock of his head, silver locks falling in front of his cold icy gaze. He dropped the piece to the counter, the light metal making the smallest clink as it hit the counter. "How long can I keep the room with that?"
