( He won't. Or, he's planning on not needing their help. Not that his best laid plans haven't gone down in fangs and blood. But, he was already turned into a vampire, it can't happen again. )
Get her home safe.
( He watches Mia shoulder her friend out before finally making his way to the bar, taking a seat when one opens up. )
No, I like where I am. And, I'm not going back to the uh -
( He pauses. )
Did I tell you I was staying with the Queens? Because my best friend is like, in love with William Queen. So that's - where I've been living. With Mia and the Green Arrow and briefly with my friend's separated parents which got... uncomfortable.
William's grown, the house was crowded, moreso after -- Cooper's mother crashed. ( He looks up. ) But, they're gone now, both Sullivan's. And I like Mia. And I duck Oliver Queen. And - yeah. I told you I had no direction.
( The expression she was sporting when she came back to announce Evelyn's arrival was something else. )
And Oliver Queen is as intimidating as he seems. ( His intimidation isn't directed in Mickey's direction. ...He should probably check in with Cooper as friends one of these days. But, it hurts. And it's too early in his friendship with Wes to go into that) Anyway. It's not home. It's a very nice, very palatial home.
Yeah, it was never weird for your parents? They take you in, you're -- gay -- but they're like, Antebellum plantation owners. Must've been an adjustment. Nice to know unconditional love has survived across the decades.
Honestly, I think once you hit your first century, the rules of humanity don't seem to matter as much. Like a lot of homophobia as we know it now is based in Christian rhetoric and ... well, they're vampires. They're already not on God's short list.
[What does it matter who they love when they're already monsters, is how Scarlett explained it to him once, and while he doesn't think he's a monster, nor does he think she is ...
Well. Scarlett's been through some shit and has never been one to spare someone who's wronged her, so he knows that she errs closer to the side of vampire than human most days. Honestly, that bit of Scarlett is likely why she and Damon get along so well.]

What can I get you?

( It's bold, right? But, he's feeling bold. The adrenaline and high energy still courses through his system from earlier's dance. )

[For him calling the seat home anyway. The ride depends on where exactly he's heading, but he's not opposed, since he did see Mia and Zoe leave.]
Don't feel like heading home yet?

[He wouldn't have chosen it if he had the option.]
How nice of your best friend to leave you there.

[But getting along with Mia is good. She's always struck him as good people.]
Though I do like his wife. She's fun.

( What can he say. )
You run in estate circles? Am I getting myself in over my head?
no subject
[He's pretty sure they had the complications of the antebellum south conversation the first time they met.]
They still have a lot of those holdings, given that they're, you know, still alive. But I didn't grow up with it, so it's still a little strange.

( He can't help it. The attitude. His whole schtick. The way he talks. He just likes it. )
Go. Mix all the ology. And um - I'll take a beer if you get the chance. And, I'll be right here.

See you in a bit.
[And with that, he will head back out to do his bartender thing.]
