[Auction 2014]-Roderic SOLD 65K to Elliot dArtois

[Pi dArtois]

Pi pushed the woman away letting her fall, ignoring her and her words, instead letting Elliot's grip turn her towards him so she had to tilt her chin to stare at him. His grip hurt but she'd be damned if she'd let him see it. "Just imagine, how this would feel if were MY childe with his hands on me and his lips on my skin and then you tell me how you would feel.. lover." She growled in return.

They both knew what 'childe' she referred to and with her gaze flicking ice chips in his direction she dropped her gaze to the hand that held her, before slowly traveling back to his eyes.

"**** Skylar." she replied, her use of the expletive odd on a woman who rarely got mad, and rarer still, in public. "If you want to buy the man she wants to screw for her, I support the idea. She obviously has an itch she wants someone to scratch. But she can keep her hands and her lips... OFF YOU."

[Skylar]

I listen to the back and forth between Elliot and his not so better half, and start rubbing at my arm the moment I'm released. I'm in a bit of pain but rather than show it I grab up Elliot's bottle of whiskey from off the table. If I'm going to have to put up with being embarrassed, he can put up with my drinking his booze. I figure the pair of them will be too distracted to care what I do anyway at this point and take a large swig from the bottle as I head for the bar.
***** went and announced I wanted to screw Ric. I hadn't said that. Hadn't thought it... much. I wasn't sure what I wanted him for really but I knew I wasn't getting that; the guy didn't even like to be hugged. Bit hard to seduce a guy into bed if he has a no touching rule.
I think back to the conversation Ellie and I had over the phone - the one where I called him out for taking the witches side - and realise he may have done it to me again. Though deep down I knew he was just trying to keep her attention off of me and on him. I'd felt that familiar feeling of his support and so knew I wasn't being completely ignored.
I gulp down the equivalent to three shots of whiskey and lounge - bottle in hand - against the bar, waiting to see how the rest of the bidding would go. I feel like a fool but leaving would probably make his missus happy and I don't want that. I'm Ellie's blood and she needs to accept that.

I was on stage and the bids were coming in. I didn't really know any of these people, maybe had seen one or two in passing, but that was the point of all this, right? I don't see Skylar. Not at first. There's a lot of people here and I'm doing my best to not find a corner and disappear in the shadows that clung to the corner.

Then a guy starts bidding on me and he draws my attention. If he thought my lack of interest in women meant that I swung for the other team, he was going to be disappointed on the first night. It would be a really awkward arrangement for him. My thought on that wasn't finished because I suddenly saw Skylar behind him. I nod my head at her, but she never connects her gaze with mine as suddenly the woman who was hosting the event starts manhandling her. I watch things unfold, not really hearing the conversation. I just watch. Skylar is clearly uncomfortable. The woman's body language implies she's upset with Skylar and the guy is coming to her defense. He grabs the hostess and not long after, the woman's grip on Skylar is released.

I might not know a lot about social ques and interactions, but the place was crowded. Making a visible scene didn't seem to be the brightest of ideas. Not when people were throwing out large stacks of cash for a good time. While Skylar may be upset, physically she seems fine by the time the altercation ends. My attention drifts back to the auction process and the few unknown bidders. My arms raise up to my sides and I wave my fingers around, as if saying, "Come on. Is that the best you all can do? Is that all you've got?"

[Pi dArtois]

Pi moves to the mic and calls the auction, announcing in a loud voice. "Last bids, In three... Twooo... ONE. SOLD!"

[Skylar]

As the evil one takes to the stage, I turn my back to it. I'm not interested in being glared at and she seems the sort.
I listen as she brings the bidding to a close and smile to myself. My arm may hurt, but it was worth it. I'd have to wait to thank Ellie in private, but I was okay with that.
I plonk myself on a bar stool and continue drinking from the bottle even after a member of staff places a clean glass in front of me. I think he's hinting at the fact I should use it, but I'm not really in the mood and just keep on as was.
