Alcuin and Hannibal's recent reconciliation somehow had Alcuin feeling more off balance than relieved. Between his lingering intuition that Hannibal was lying to him, his concerns that the other man was trying to control him, and knowledge of Aaron's feelings about him... And yet, tangled up in all of that was the intense love he felt for him. It was confusing.
He might not work at the brothel anymore, but now that he wasn't actively avoiding Hannibal, he'd gone back to his habit of reading in the drawing room. Even if it wasn't his task to spy on the patrons, he did still find it interesting to observe the comings and goings.
... and when a rock star walked in, that was certainly an interesting coming.
He carefully closed his book and got to his feet. Walked over to him.
He smiled. "Hello," he said. "Are you looking for someone in particular?"

"Nor would I," Hannibal replied. "Only if you would wish it, my love," he told Alcuin. "And - of course - not if you were only joking. But I believe you would not," he said to Nyx.

"I'm not that funny," Nyx assured them both with a smile and a little laugh. "Just adverse to making things awkward. I'd love to spend time with you both."

"Well all right then," he said with a small smile, and in all honesty it was in large part because he was incredibly curious about sex magic.

"I want you to be sure," Hannibal replied gently. "I will leave if you prefer." This was all about appearing to make amende.

It was a bit awkward, though things with couples usually were. It's why he didn't do it very often anymore.
"Tell you what, let me step out for a smoke, and you can have a quick chat," he suggested. "No hurt feelings either way," he promised as he pulled out his cigarettes and headed to the door. "Back in a few."

"You changed your mind about wanting to share?" he asked lightly.
no subject
"I've... come to see that I should try to be less imposing on you," Hannibal replied sounding very mild and perhaps even apologetic. "I want you to have what you want. I can plainly see that you want the fae, and I thought sharing was something you wanted to try out. But I can also imagine you would enjoy him more freely without me."
He took Alcuin's hand. "I mean it, my love. Tonight you will have what you want."

He also realized that Hannibal must be concerned that it might seem like he was pushing for the threesome. Another form of telling Alcuin who to have sex with.
His expression softened. Maybe things were better. This was good.
"I wasn't expecting this, but... given the opportunity, yes I want this. Both of you. Assuming he really is keen."
no subject
Hannibal smiled gently. Things seemed to be getting better. And also, the prospect was quite thrilling. He never wanted to share Alcuin with a vampire (or a dull human), but there was no threat from a nymph.
"Why don't I leave you two to continue your conversation. I'll be in my room. If I see you, I will see you. If not, not. But... the prospect of you both in my bed is quite tempting to me. I would very much enjoy it."

And when it came to their shared blood... if Alcuin had only a fraction of that power to entice, it explained a lot about how his life had been.

Nyx was tapping away on his phone, cigarette hanging from his lips. He stopped when he heard Alcuin though, putting the phone back into his pocket as he flicked the ash from the end of his cigarette.
"My gift, my curse, and all those other cliched things we all like to say," the nymph chuckled, finishing his cigarette and stubbing it out.

Truth be told, all Nyx wanted was to not end up too entwined in whatever it was going on between Hannibal and Alcuin. Something about the pair's relationship felt... Off. In the moment it had sounded like good fun, but the longer he lingered the less sure he was.
Still, he was keen for a bite. It's why he came here after all.
"I can always leave if things start to feel uncomfortable," he assured Alcuin.
no subject
"All right," Alcuin said, and smiled at him. "I think it will be... fun." And he leaned in and brushed his lips against the side of Nyx's mouth. "He's waiting in his bedroom."
no subject
"Well, let's not make him wait too long then, hmm?" Nyx suggested, slipping an arm around Alcuin and holding the door for him as they headed back inside.
