Who: Anyone!
What: It's a Wine Tasting at the Lux
When: Saturday Evening
Where: The Lux.
Sugarplum Fairies: PLENTY.
Notes: ANYONE is welcome. Prose or brackets. I'm just having Katherine start it off, but feel free to have your very own thread. This is a party-post of sorts. It's at the Lux and there are plenty of wines and platters of small bits of food that are meant to accentuate the flavor of the wine. Cheese, Chocolate, Fruits... etc.

The Lux isn't Katherine's first choice of social locations, but it does have the luxury of being somewhere that has been deemed as off-limits for the Salvatore brothers. She'd put the math together through the journals and from over-hearing conversations of employees and the ghosts. Such gossips. She'd already resolved to go to that Speed Dating thing, just trying to make some effort to figure out just who all was in this place and just how vulnerable some of them were.

For the moment, she's milling through the crowd, glass in hand, and keeping an eye on everyone. She's fully capable of slipping by most of them undetected. Knowing that her speed would easily put her out of anyone's line of sight if she didn't want to be seen. Tonight though, she wasn't planning on shying away from too many of them.

He lets her take it, eyes on her the entire time.

"I think you're right."

He stands up and offers a hand to her.

She accepts the proffered hand and will lead him to her room, intending to introduce him to the wonders of hot showers and those colorful body-sponges that create more foam than you would ever need. Ever.

And life is suddenly so very, very awesome.

She leads him to her room, and grabs the torch lighter moving toward the bathroom, hoping he'll just follow the sway of her hips. Her room is dark, filled with mahogany and tall bookshelves.

In the bathroom, she's lighting candles and stripping her clothing off in between candle lighting. He's more than welcome to wander.

Or undress.

He follows, glancing around the room to take it all in before he kicks off his boots and shoves them off to the side. It's been a strange twenty-four hours, from stopping Borgia to being inaugurated into the Order, and now he's in a magical castle getting personal with an immortal woman who had lived through their time and ended up a modern woman.

But with his eyes roving down her as she strips, he can't complain. He begins unlacing his doublet, letting it fall open.

"I imagine the people of the future put all of this to good use."

"It helps, trust me."

Katherine is rather fond of all the modern things. Standing before him in quite the modern undergarments, she's assured that he'll enjoy them as well.

Of course, with the tub half-filled, she'll turn it off and move to open the door to the shower.

"You have your choice, finish filling the tub or the shower."

Ezio is rather surprised by her undergarments; they simply don't exist in his time, so to him they are not only strange, but wrapped up in implications. Is it intended to look so sexual?

He isn't sure, but he likes it. He joins her by the shower door, reaching out one hand to rest on her lower back, finger idly running across the top lip of her underwear.

"Is there any reason we can't do both?"

Her head tips to the side, her hair falling across her shoulders when she does so.

"There is absolutely no reason why we can't do both." Her hand reaches behind her back grabbing for the door to the shower. Once her hand is on it, she'll open the door and step in against Ezio, because the door swings out.

He shrugs off the last of his shirt, discarding it on the floor, and welcomes her into his personal space. That hand on her back slides up, tracing the contour of her spine, before sliding back down and over her ass.

"I like the sound of that."

Katherine presses up onto tip toes, brushing a soft kiss to his cheek before she moves to unhook her bra and let it drift off her shoulders. It gets caught against him a bit, but she leans back to let it fall to the floor.

"I thought you might prefer that sound, but I can see how the word both does have an allure to it."
