[Lady Libertine]First Night

Sorry for holding you both up with the waiting, hopefully this post makes up for it. :)
The social circle of the group that had joined Patrick at the bar seemed extremely exclusive, yet their privacy welcomed him into their fold with ease as was part of his job. He was there to entertain the lot and entertain them he shall, as he could already see the positions some held within the group. The passively aggressive schmoozer that chatted with Clayton a lot, the flamboyant mistress that gave him brief stares when she took a sip, the couple that seemed secretly curious about the wonders they could indulge. Patrick noticed Theo and the depth of meaning within his glance, an expectation to live up to the promises given a while back. Pat had always been a man of his word, of this there was no doubt, and he therefore nodded briefly before looking back to the center of the group.

"So tell me darling, what sort of things are you good at?" The mistress coyly sipped from the drink, while the rest talked among one another indiscriminately.

"Many things love, I'm a bit o' an expert in regards to pleasure." He mused with a brief gulp of the whiskey, Patrick then turned to face her with his arm rested on the bar. "Imagine yer best fantasy, or greatest fetish even, and I'll be sure to make it happen."

"Anything? Well that raises some curiosity." The woman pegged with a look down his torso, a sharp observation in her eyes as she looked back at his face. "Say I wanted something specific done, while my man here watches that is. Care to make it happen?" She muttered lowly so that the others weren't fully aware of the conversation, Pat looked from her to the passive aggressive man with the cigar next to her. The fellow seemed to caught up in the discussion between him and Clayton really, but if Patrick were a betting man he could assume the two were partners only by interest. He smiled at the lady and leaned in close, a few words whispered into her ear that warranted a gasp. When he leaned back onto his stool, the woman's eyes were widened by what he had suggested. "You can do that?!"

"I'm capable of doin' much, love." He mused with a smirk as he took a sip of the whiskey, his eyes then shot up to the couple that observed him. They had been somewhat quiet towards him in their stance with the group, but he watched them long enough to know they had interest. Now that the mistress beside him had something to say, her influence would surely play in part with their curiosity. He would feed into their interest and sure enough, develop a line of customers he'd be able to serve. Zana seemed to be gone at work already, so maybe now was a good time to step it up and do the same. "So what'ya say? Care to make those fantasies real?" The mistress turned to him with a look in her eye, sheepish intrigue had been found as she twisted to nudge her man with the cigar. With a couple of catered whispers in his ear, he glanced to Patrick and then to Clayton with a lowered voice.

A discussion on pricing came up, and the chance of negotiation placed Clay into his secondary role. While the two discussed business Pat merely fanned the flames, a soft smooch made as a pass to the mistress as she watched him intently. She wanted to see what he implied, to watch her curiosity become reality. He was happy to make it happen, granted it meant he'd be earning quite the reputation. Theo would likely hear reference about it later, if he kept close tabs on his clients that is. When Clayton established the amount of time they had with Patrick, and the payment had been made, Patrick stood up from his spot with a modest bow in his head. Once he turned to lead them onward he took the pair to his private room, where they both got to experience the sensational excitement Patrick had in store.

After the break was up Patrick had made sure to help escort them back to the main floor, the male companion of the mistress walked in a slightly off manner. When they were all rejoined at the bar Patrick resumed the drink he'd left on the counter, while he let the talking of his clients cater itself among the group. With luck his work would strike interest with the rest, and he would have another in line for their own interest in him. For Patrick of course, it felt good to be in this business. Twice as good actually; since he getting paid to get laid. The rest of the evening that had unfolded he spent fanning the flames, feeding the curiosity as he courted those among the group carefully.

He did so selectively because of appeal for one, in building a private reputation among clients. That reputation of course wouldn't remain private outside the premises, when they would spread word of his capabilities within the bedroom. As the night grew later and clients seemed less frequent, he took to help Clayton clean up the bar in the spare time he had.

Because of his Competency in Empathy magic, Pash exudes an aura of calm emotion that is always "on." While it's not strong enough to overcome extreme emotions and it also loses strength the more people he's around, it's still up to you how that affects your character in whatever situation we're in. PM with questions!
