font-size: 12px;">Isiah is only mildly concerned when he hears a sudden thudding while he's setting the table, already quite used to Jesús's bumbling. He's never met someone as clumsy, nor perhaps as dim-witted. But he's naive and good-hearted, so it makes his flaws more charming than irritating. Usually. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"Did you die?"</span> he calls, impassionate as he moves back to the open kitchen to grab their plates. He returns just in time to see the man bounce down the stairs and across the floor, those spooky shadow tentacles of his breaking his fall as they bring him to his seat. Do all darkness magi get that? Or just Soos? Or is this something all magi can manifest one way or another?<br/>
<br/>
He knows very little about his magi heritage. Sure, he'd studied under another light magi in order to control his abilities enough to hide them when he was younger, but that doesn't equate to understanding an entire culture. Some people would probably find that sad, but he can't say he feels a particular emptiness over it. He does sometimes take a look at magi affairs, though, out of curiosity. For example, he saw on the news that today there is a large charity event being hosted to help orphaned magi children get in touch with their roots. Any charities looking to help closeted rich adults?<br/>
<br/>
Maybe that's why he let Jesús stay with him. While he can be charitable on occasion, he's certainly no philanthropist, and inviting a strange man that he'd found into a dumpster into his home was an extremely out of character thing for him to do. But when he'd learned that he was in a similar situation as himself, being half vampir and half magi, well. Perhaps it poked at something in him. And maybe he'll never be able to get in touch with his own magi roots, but he can at least help Jesús understand his vampir ones.<br/>
<br/>
He sets the plates down on the table just in time before Soos hugs him, saving them from potential disaster. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"Yes, I am,"</span> he chuckles, patting the other man's back. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"I texted you early this morning, and I've been here for some hours, did you just now notice?"</span> His playful smirk vanishes into surprise as Soos manhandles him into his seat before taking his own. Now, look, he likes a little manhandling sometimes, if you catch his drift, but Soos's energy still leaves him reeling sometimes. He barely has any time to answer any of the man's questions with how fast they escape his mouth.<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"First of all,"</span> he begins, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"Keeping meat on the rarer side is for your own good. Unless you agree to start drinking blood more organically like a good boy?"</span> A rhetorical question of course. He pours them both some of the wine he'd pulled out earlier while cooking, this time an expensive Pinot Noir type. The brand is popular for a reason. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"And darling, I don't <i>find</i> hot guys during my tour, they come to me,"</span> he assures with a cocky smirk, taking a sip from his glass. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"All those cute fans who pay to see me after the show? I practically get my pick of the litter. As for fun, well. I try to do a little sightseeing here and there, visit some old friends when I'm nearby. But the tour usually keeps me from getting too wild, unfortunately."</span><br/>
<br/>
His phone vibrates in his pocket, and he pulls it out to see Cordelia's name beaming up at him. Everyone else had responded as expected, but the amount of time it had taken his cousin to reply back had admittedly struck him. She wasn't usually one to keep him waiting for very long. Judging by her text, something rather serious must have happened. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">I'm always down for a drink. How about tonight? You can pick the place, it'll be my treat.</span><br/>
<br/>
He smiles apologetically at Soos as he sets his phone aside, but before he can explain his reason for ignoring him, the doorbell sounds. His food is going to get cold by the time he even gets a bite of it, isn't it? <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"I'll get it,"</span> he sighs, getting to his feet and heading toward the front door. Who could it possibly be at this hour? Most of his friends were working, and they would have messaged him ahead of time to unlock the — Oh.<br/>
<br/>
Quick as a bullet, he flies back to the table, slamming the rest of his glass of wine. He needs it before he has this damn conversation. Whatever it is. With Vince, it's almost guaranteed to be aggravating. He sets the glass back down with more force than necessary, shooting Soos an exasperated look before floating back over to the door.<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"Vinny~"</span> he greets as he opens the door, licking the wine from his lips before plastering on his 'innocent' face that probably looks too mischievous to be believable. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"What a pleasant surprise. I see I have to change the gate code again. If you wanted to welcome me back so personally, you could have just told me you were coming and I would have let you in."</span> He steps back, gesturing for the man to come in, like a proper gentleman. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"Come on in before the rain washes away your whiskey cologne,"</span> a subtle diss, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#f7dc6f">"Jesús and I just sat down for dinner if you'd like to join us for some wine, at least."</span><br/>
