Dinner with a Guildmaster

**Characters** | Guildmaster Alabaster Ruevelle
Michel Brycian
Flynn (Michel's Flygon)

**Description:** Before heading out on a mission together, Guildmaster Alabaster Ruevelle invites Michel Brycian for dinner and to also abide by their long-standing tradition of having a good luck drink together.

**Dinner with a Guildmaster**
Alabaster finishes cooking a stir fry, having chosen to use one of the private kitchen dining areas tonight. It was an occasion, and whether to call it a special occasion or not was debatable given Michel's request and Marcellus approving it. . .

To which he was also approved as the guildmaster to go on this dangerous task. Given where they were going, it was only logical to send him and one other of course.

Carefully, Alabaster makes two separate plates, one for him and the other for Michel. Hopefully, he would be here soon. . .

Michel finishes his strength training in the training rooms with his Flygon, Flynn before he dismisses him for the night.

“Flynn, you can head back to our room for the night. I have to meet with someone.” Michel orders, drinking some of his water after the workout, "Great job today.”

Flynn glances at him in slight intrigue.

“Is it Vanessa, the cold beauty?” Flynn says in a teasing tone, crossing his arms, "I thought your dinner with her was in a few days...”

“No no, not her. As much as I would like to but someone else has me for the night.” Michel shakes his head before smiling, "It’s Al. I had asked him if we could have dinner together to celebrate him going on the next mission with me.”

Flynn nods as he gives a smile. “Congrats to him. As a Guildmaster, it’s extremely rare for him to head out onto a mission.” Flynn comments with interest, "So you’ll be going with him for a few days?”

Michel nods, grabbing his bag and handing it to him. “Exactly. That’s why I’m having dinner with him tonight and also why I’m dressed a bit better.” He replies, "Could you drop that off on my bed? I’ll care of it after dinner. I also left you some snacks back in my room so that you can have a reward of today’s training.”

“Wow, thanks Michel! And sure, Ill make sure it gets there for ya!” Flynn smiles with a slight sparkle in his eyes as he happily grabs it and heads out to the door, "I’ll see you tonight Mikey!”

“Thanks Flynn! I’ll be back late.” He thanks as he follows out behind him before heading to the private kitchen dining area that he would meeting him tonight.

With a wave of his hand, Alabaster sets the table up, placing 5 different bottles of alcohol to one side as well as two shot glasses. When he can sense someone nearby, he gets a read on the energy, a smile on his face as he crosses his arms.

//ah. So he's finally here. Must have finished training.// Alabaster thinks.

After running over to the private kitchen dinning area, Michel quickly opens the door and enters to see Alabaster standing near the table which had 5 different kinds of alcohol of varying bottle sizes paired with two shot glasses. Once he catches his breath, he gives a smile to his friend before rubbing the back of his head in slight embarrassment.

"Hey Al, sorry that I am late. I lost track of time when training with Flynn.." He greets a little guilty before he smiles, "Looks like you have everything set up already. I hope you weren't waiting too long for me..."

Alabaster chuckles and shakes his head, giving a catlike smile.

"Trust me, I expected you were going to be a bit longer since you like to train during the evening. You didn't leave me waiting long at all Mikey." he says. "I actually just finished making dinner not too long ago. Why don't we get started by doing our little tradition?"

He waves over to the five bottles and the two shot glasses.

"You get to choose one of your favorites out of the five there. Then I will choose mine after that."

Michel smiles as he hears Al’s reply before heading to the table.

“Wow, you remembered our tradition we started a long while ago...” He says in slight awe before glancing at the selections,"Damn... You really do have my top 5 here. How’s you get these?”

Alabaster joins him, placing his right hand on his hip. "You forget I have my connections. It was tough to get them, but with a will there is always a way." he grins. "I made sure the recon team found these when they were out on the field."

"So you anticipated a mission with me at some point so you decided to be prepared ahead of time?" Michel chuckles with a slightly teasing glance as he places a hand on his heart, "I feel so touched. You really missed going on missions with me that much."

"Of course I did. It's always good to be prepared in general when it comes to special occasions. Especially ones such as this." Alabaster chuckles, teasingly tilting Michel's chin up. "Just don't go /too/ overboard. You remember what happened last time."

His tone is flirty at the end, giving his friend a catlike smile.

Michel's eyes slightly widen as Al tilts his chin up towards him before giving a chuckle before poking his forehead.

"Funny, I was about to warn you about /your/ own alcohol intake. Let's not forget that you were also drunk off your ass." He smirks with a somewhat teasing attitude before tuning to the bottles, "Which shall I have first..."

Alabaster laughs, playfully swatting Michel's hand away when his friend pokes his forehead. He rolls his eyes, flipping his hair off of his shoulder as he watches Michel looking over at the bottles on the table.

"I'm well aware of my alcohol intake. Which is why I cut back significantly because of it. Wouldn't look good for a guildmaster to be drinking so much on the job." he says, the catlike smile remaining on his face. "Pick whichever your first shot is going to be. After all, the first one is your good luck shot. Also. . ."

Alabaster nudges Michel's shoulder.

"Even though I was a bit drunk off my ass, I still remember how embarrassed you were and when you nearly vomited when everyone told you they caught us making out completely unintentionally. Which is why they also cut you back too on the alcohol intake I may add. No worries, Vanessa didn't know because she wasn't there at the time."

“I know, I know. Trying to find out what I’m in the mood for...” He states, waving his hand.

Michel’s face slightly reddens for a moment after Al mentions the incident before he playfully pushes him, turning his head to face him.

“I’m glad she didn’t because she would have questioned my sexuality if she did and it would also give her blackmail...” He says in slight relief before sighing, "Though, I haven’t had any alcohol since that night. I’ve been too busy for it. What’s to say that it’s going to happen again? It’s been a while since then and we’ve both grown...”

Alabaster laughs, stumbling a bit as he grins. "I know she would use it for blackmail for sure. Vanni loves having something to jab you with. An absolute sweetheart, but an ice queen too." He says, giving a shrug. "Also yes, we have grown given that I only drink one glass of wine every once in awhile. But I will admit one thing. . ."

Alabaster smirks slightly, taking a seat in one of the chairs at the table.

"You are a pretty damn good kisser. I actually enjoyed it, and I'm sure Vanessa would herself with how soft your lips are." He purrs, taking a bite off of the plate in front of him.

"That is very true. A snow princess and ice queen rolled into one person... Vanni and I did grow up together after all but I know that's she does have a kind side to her." Michel smiles, cheeks reddening for a moment as he reaches for the Rapidash Red Wine before turning to Alabaster when he hears his confession about being a good kisser.

"Hey! Don't ever say that to Vanni!" Michel states, his cheeks reddening again before he pouts and pours the wine into his glass,"...But I will admit that you are good at kissing too..."
