The comeback made him smile a little.<br/><br/>“Not<i>everyone</i>else…” he said, his voice a little softer but still definitely meaning to reach Dorian’s ears.  The implication was clear enough that he didn’t have to elaborate.  To him, humans like this one were corrupt, selling out their morality for their own greed.<br/><br/>Where their half-conversation might’ve gone from there would forever be a mystery, however.  A loud and obnoxious interruption settled himself in beside the lawyer and started getting chummy.  At first, Kade was annoyed by the rude drunk.  His assessment of what was going on between them was enough to get a raised eyebrow out of him, but nothing more.  Did he seem like a whore?  Surely that was Dorian’s level.  But more importantly, there was business he needed to take care of, and<i>Rodrick</i>had pushed his way into the middle of it.  Seeing Dorian’s level of agitation made it all worth it, though.  Somehow he’d brought it on himself, the vampire was sure, and so it was perhaps best to let him marinade in his unease for a while.  If need be, he’d just track him down later.<br/><br/>Kade lifted his glass in parting, devilish smile spread across his lips, and left to see to business.<br/><br/>Private as he was, he asked to see the man he’d hired to manage the place in private.  Everything seemed to be going smoothly.  Operations were moving right along, the kitchen was still well stocked, and the building was in no need of any last minute maintenance.  Of course, it was a newer facility.  His first club had need much work over the years, but then that building was old.  He’d used it for so long…  There was part of him that wanted to close it up and just move everything over to the new place, but there was something akin to nostalgia preventing him from following through.<br/><br/>By the time he was finished and stepped back out, his glass was nearly empty.  Kade headed back toward the bar, wanting to see whether or not the snake had slithered off under the oppressive waves of alcoholic romance, or if he still suffered under the heavy burden of unwanted advances.
