The last days of summer are being nice to Moist, he's wiggled his way into a rich country house as someone just interesting enough to be invited but not probed too much. He's spent the day playing tennis and drinking gin and tonics with people who are country gentry.

When he finds Milliways, he's getting ready to change for dinner and smiles, he's in an elegant partial linen suit with his collar open, he gave up on his tie early in the day. At the counter, he orders a whiskey and turns to watch the crowd.

Jay smiles and comes over to lean on the bar next to Alfred, order a drink of his own. "You look like a cat who got the cream and the canary."

{ooc: still technically on hiatus but seeking distraction from the real world if you're okay with slowtime?]

(OOC: Always and if you'd like another flavor of distraction. I have a teenage Charles over here, you don't need to be a member to tag in. I try him out at various different time points over there.)

Moist smiles at him, "Oh yes, I've been invited to a country party and have been getting the right sort of attention."

"And I bet you've been lapping it up." Jay chuckles, running a finger over the back of Alfred's hand. "Look at you, you're almost tanned."

{ooc: looks like fun. I might pop over later and have a play. Thanks.)

"As much as I ever tan. How are you doing?" Its not something he wants to happen too much as it can be noticed.

Jay shrugs and withdraws his hand, sipping his drink. "Yeah, not too bad. Had a weird couple of weeks but things are settling down now. Got a challenge coming up so that gives me something to work on."

"What sort of challenge?" He leans against the counter to bump Jay's shoulder.

Jay smiles and returns the bump with a gentle lean. He really does love Alfred's relaxed warmth. "A game of Rooftop Tag. It's somewhere between a game and a training exercise. I use to play it a lot as a kid but this time I'll be playing against someone with superior speed and senses. I'm going to need all my wits and serious upgrades to my gear to stand a chance but that's what makes it a challenge." You can tell he's looking forward to it.

"Rooftop Tag, that sounds terrifying and fun like a horse race through city streets."

"Something like that. Only with the added bonus of trying not to get caught by the local authorities as well as each other."

"That adds to the fun though when you're on the edge of being caught."

"A man after my own heart." Jay grins, pressing his shoulder against Alfred's. "Maybe we should race some time?"

"I'd love that, you'd give me a good challenge."

"I think you have the advantage on me with horses but give me a dense city with high buildings and I'd give you a hell of a run." He grins without modesty.

"So, what have you got going on at the moment?"

"True but I'd find my own ways. I'm good in crowds. A weekend in the country with rich and foolish people."

"Vanishing or showmanship?" Jay asks lightly. "I enjoy moving with a flowing crowd but I hate getting caught in when I'm in a hurry."

Jay chuckles. "Sounds like easy living. Have you made the most of these rubes or are you just enjoying the lifestyle?"

"Both of course and there are ways through a crowd even when they're slow,"

He lifts his glass up so some of the water drips down his open collar.

"You'll have to teach me some day." Jay grins, watching the drop fall and slide down his skin. He raises a wry eyebrow. "A little warm, darling." He teases.

"I will. I love using a crowd, watching who sees you and who doesn't. Yes, terribly, perhaps you could help cool me down."

"Hmm, I've never thought about it that way."

Jay licks his lips and smiles. "I can think of a few ways to cool you down. Starting with getting you out of those clothes."

"Always a fine place to start as they're simply sticking to me,"

He leans closer to Jay and runs a finger down his neck.

Jay smiles then impulsively kisses Alfred. "My room? I'll have some ice brought up to cool you down."

"Mm, wonderful," Then he kisses Jay back.

Jay leans back with a smile, requesting a bowl of ice from the bar and offering Alfred his hand. "Lets go."
