sitting at the counter; it wasn't very often that he came here, but he figured he'd stop in for a drink or two and be on his way. He glanced

down at his glass and sighed.

smirked spotting the blond at the bar. So he walked over to him and took a seat smiling at him. "Mind if I sit next to you?"

blinks at Francis and shrugs. "There are plenty of other empty seats around the bar, but sure, why not?" He figured Francis wouldn't bother

him much.

smiled ordering a glass of wine. "Merci~" He turned his attention back to Matthew. "So...I'm Francis~" He said holding out his hand.

raises a brow as the man immediately switches to a foreign thank you. He took the other man's hand, shaking it firmly. "Er... Matthew."

smiled taking his hand up to his lips and placing a soft kiss on it. "That is a nice name~"

taken aback by the man's actions. He figured it was a foreigner thing and pulled his hand from the man. "...Thank you."

smiled turning to grab his glass of wine. "Your welcome~ So..are you from around here?" He asked taking a sip of wine, crossing his legs.

nods, then turns to his glass. "I am... I'm an officer at the docks. So... don't try anything funny."

He said this in a half-joking manner.

raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Oh my, I see~ I wasn't planing on doing anything. Merci for the warning though~" he said softly drinking

his wine... he sort of wanted Matthew to come work for him...he might prove to be...*very* successful~

glanced at him for a moment, then went back to his glass, unsure of what more he could say to the stranger.

just smiled at him and continued sipping his wine...if he played his cards right he could have the man in no time~

felt a little uncomfortable underneath the other man's gaze, so he bowed his head slightly and hunched over his glass, giving it a cautious-

sip.

hummed a little ordering another glass of wine, and another drink for Matthew. "Oi, I hope you don't mind me ordering a drink for you~"

pauses. What was this man trying? "...You hardly know me, isn't that a bit weird to you at all?"

tilt his head and shook it. "Non, I do not. It is called being nice~ Its customary where I come from.."

stares a bit warily. "Alright..." Raises his hand towards the bartender and calls out. "May I have a refill on this man's tab?"

smiles. 'Im glad you are accepting~ ' He said moving to take his second glass of wine.

looks away. "Tch... don't think anything of it... it's just impolite /not/ to accept."

shrugged shoving his hand in his pocket. 'Alright alright.' He replied glancing over at him

frowns slightly, pouting as he took a small sip of the drink ordered for him.

"Nothing like a nice glass of wine~" He said glancing at him. What do you usually drink?"

"Er... it... doesn't matter, I guess. Rum and wine are always nice..."

figures it's alright to tell this guy this stuff, he probably won't see him again anyway... judging by him being a foreigner and all.

smiled hearing that. "Oi, you should try a new drink that has wine, and a few fruits in it. I'll order you one~ I know the bar keep~"

he said motioning for the man to come over. He smirked and spoke softly to him, asking him to add in a 'special ingredient'

blinks, now curious... just a bit. "...Like what?"

smiled as the bartender walked off to make him the drink. "Oi, like berries~ It has a nice taste complimented with the wine~"

laughs a little. "Berries...? That's weird..." He shrugged and finished the last of his glass.

chuckled and nodded. "Oui~ Its rather tasty~" He said with a smile as he returned with two drinks. One for Francis, and one for Matthew~

glances at the drink. "This is it, then?"

nods. "Oui~ Lets toast~" He said with a smile lifting his glass up.

blinks and raises his glass to clink against the other man's. "To what, exactly?"

for a moment. "Hm...to our little meeting~"

blinks and clinks the glasses. "To our... little meeting, then." He brings the glass back to his lips and drinks.

clinked his glass and smiled nodding taking a drink of his wine~

the moment he set his glass down, Matt felt a heavy drowsiness overcome him. He didn't remember being this tired, but now he was damned-

exhausted.

continued sipping at his drink and tilt his head with a small smirk watching the man.

took a deep breath and pushed away from the counter. "I-I think... I need to-" He was interrupted by a yawn. "...go."

finished his glass and set it down. "Oh? You look awfully tired. Can I escort you home?" He said pulling away from the counter himself.

doesn't really give it much thought, he IS pretty tired. "...I-If you could, I... I'd be grateful."

nods moving to put his arm around his shoulder. "Oui I would be happy too~"

hesitantly leans against him for support...until he stumbles into him completely. "Oof!"

luckily catches him before he falls over himself. "Woah mon cher~ It looks like you might of had too much to drink~" he said moving to hold

him up. He walked slowly to the door, and pushed it open looking around the darkened streets.

at some point, passes out... the drug slipped in his drink finally took hold of his functions and he just slipped from consciousness.

grinned and motioned for a few of his men to help get Matthew into the waiting carriage, and start to tie him up.

stirs a bit, but otherwise doesn't realize a thing that's happening. It's a shame because he's a well-trained officer...

Once hes tied up the carriage takes off into the town with Francis sitting there watching his new worker sleep soundly on the seat.

He smirked and chuckled slightly. "Mhn...too bad Mr. Officer~" He mumbled. A while later they arrived at the brothel. Francis brought him

inside the place and placed him in a more comfortable room than most of his workers. he would let him sleep a while longer.

finally awoke to a completely different surrounding area than he remembered being at before. "Nn... what? Where...?" He rubbed his eyes and-

glanced around. It seemed he was in a bedroom.

had returned smiling seeing that he had woken up. He had a glass of wine in his hand and had changed into a robe. "I see your awake~"

blinks and rubs his eyes once more. Mumbles to himself. "...The man from the bar... What am I doing here? Where is this? Who are you.?"

took a sip of his wine and chuckled. "Mon cher~ You should relax and rest. I would still think you are tired~" he mused walking over to him.

glances back and forth about the room. He's in a bit of a panic mode, now. "...Where did you take me?"

takes another sip of his wine. "Hm...I took you to my place of work~"

immediately throws himself out of the bed and too his feet. "...Why?! I need to go back now! I was only on break! I have to get back to my-

shift"

tilt his head watching him. He started laughing and shook his head. "Non, non~ I can't let you go back mon cher~"

shakes his head. "Why not?! My job is at stake, here! I don't care how friendly you want to be, this is taking it too far!"

moved in front of him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "I can't let you do that because..You are going to work for me~"

stared, disbelievingly. "...What."

took another sip of wine. "You. Are going. To work. Ror me~" he repeated with a smile.

steps back and shakes his head. "...No way! For your information, I wasn't even looking for a job... I like being a guard for the docks...!"

shrugged. "Oh well~ I have taken an interest in you. So. Your working for me now~"

stares at the man, who did he think he was? "That's a bit one-sided, isn't it?!"

shook his head. "Non I do not think so~ I'll treat you *real* good~" Of course he only treats the ones he likes the most better then others.

frowns and bites his lip, looking away from the man and talking to no one in particular. "...I think it is." Looks back at him, sighing-

"Look, what do you want from me?"

sets his wine glass down and claps his hands together. "Wonderful mon cher~" he said moving closer to him. He reached his hand out and

grabbed his chin looking over his features. "Hn...well... this place I run...is a *brothel* So...~ I suppose you can assume what I want"

pushes his hand away. "Well... I'm not offering."

chuckles, and moves his hand back to his chin. "I wasn't asking if you were offering mon cher~"

grabs for his arm again. "Hands off."

laughs some more. "Mhn, you are a feisty one aren't you?"

growls. "I told you I'm an officer! Are you some kind of a moron?"

snorted. "Being an officer means nothing here mon cher~"

goes to take one more step forwards, "It means I can--" falls to his knees. His legs were asleep.

tutted at him and crouched down to his level still smiling. he tilt his head. "Can what mon cher? Like I said, it means nothing here~"

shifts his legs slightly and tries to stand properly. "...You're disgusting."

moves to help him up. He shrugged. "Mhn, Ive been called worse~"

pushes at him. "Just get off!@"

[ Sans the @ :l ]

rolled his eyes. "Calm down."

looks incredulous. "Calm down? Calm down?! How the hell do you expect me to do that?!"

shrugged. "By taking in a deep breath~ Or having some wine~ Really, this isn't all that bad~"

scoots back away from the other man. "I'm not drinking anymore of your wine."

takes another step forward. "I didn't do anything to your wine~"

growls. "You've done nothing to prove otherwise."

just shrugs. "So what dock do you work at mon cher?"

sighs. "...The one just by the pub. If I said the technical name, you wouldn't understand."

nods. "Ah I see~"

stands up, using the bed for support. "And now, I should be getting back to that very same dock."

shakes his head and moves so hes blocking Matthew. "Non, I dont think so~"

groans as his shoulders droop and he rolls his eyes. He's about ready to push the guy out of the way, now. "Come on..!"

narrowed his eyes. "I said. Non. Now stop trying to make this difficult~"

does just as he's ready and moves to shove the man aside. "I've had enough of this..."

moved to grab at his wrists. "Well, if you just go along with this, then there will be no problems"

struggles. "I don't want to! I want to get back to work!"

shrugged tightening his grip. "Well, you can work for me~"

gave his arm a quick tug away from the man. "I don't want to work for you!"

smirked. "Too bad~" He replied grabbing his wrists again.

huffs softly. "Get off!"

rolled his eyes. With his free hand he reached into one of the pockets on his robe and pulled out a syringe. He tilt his head and poked

Matthew in the arm with it, pressing down releasing the liquid. "There...that should keep you quiet~"

just about to protest when the man pricked his arm with a needle. "What--ah!" He yelps as he isn't expecting it. Shortly after his eyes feel

heavy and he falls limp into the man's arms.

hums softly catching Matthew in his arms. He would have to figure out where to put him..he figured he would be just as active when he woke

back up...He set the needle down on a small desk and picked him up; cradling him in his arms, as he moved out of this room into his own.

going to be out for a bit of a while, and when he would finally gain consciousness, he would still be a bit off.

set him down on his own bed and then sat down next to him himself. He crossed his legs and rest his head on his hand. "Hm.."

"I don't usually let people into my own room mon cher...~ But you are an exception.~" he mused moving to grab some cuffs so he could

restrain him, not wanting him to try and run away when he woke up.

probably not make much movement in his sleep, and probably looks a bit more peaceful than he did moments before.

still decides to handcuff him anyway. Even if he looks adorable calm and peaceful in his sleep.

, after a while of being out like a light, will soon open his eyes, drowsily blinking. He had no idea of his whereabouts once more, and his-

memory as well as his vision were terribly foggy. He moved to rub his arm, when he realized his arms felt numb, nor would they move.

had left the room to get more wine, and a few other things for when Matthew woke up~

glances around. He wasn't panicking, but he was a bit alarmed. He was a bit too tired to properly react as a soft yawn escaped his lips. -

still a bit tired from the needle.

went back to his room and pushed open the door. He smiled and entered the room seeing that he was awake now. "Good you are up~"

glances at him with half-lidded eyes. He was still a bit tired. "You..."

moves over to the bed and sits down. "Oui me~ You though...how do you feel?"

looks away, yawning softly. "Please don't ask that like we're on civil terms... you HANDCUFFED me to a bed so I wouldn't leave, I bet."

chuckled leaning in towards him. "Oui, I did~ But I want us to be on civil terms~"

growls. "Well I can tell you one way of getting on someone's good side is NOT jabbing them with a needle."

snorted. "Well...we should start over then~ That was only to calm you down mon cher~"

frowns. "...You'll have to un...cuff me."
