"Do you even taste it when you consume it that quickly, Hazel?"  The reason Colin sipped his scotch was because he wanted to savor every drop.  It wasn't quite as pleasurable as the scotch he drank as a human, however.  It wasn't that scotch had changed it's taste, but his tastes in drink had changed.  Scotch had become a memory of what life was when he was a man and not a monster.<br/><br/>What it must be like to be a bar owner, only to find that your bar is a gathering place for monsters.  Colin began to understand why Errol seemed less than enthused at her clientele.  When you keep company with vampires, you never know when they might decide to drink something (or someone) not found on the menu or on the wall of alcohol.<br/><br/>As for the question of finances that Hazel brought up, Colin didn't look wealthy, but he was.  Having the power to shape-shift into small vermin had it's advantages when it came to listening in on conversations between stock brokers, corporate executives or government officials.  He'd been doing insider trading even before the term had been coined.  So he wasn't concerned about the size of his bar tab.  But for him, money was not the end goal, but merely a means to an end.<br/><br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="2200" data-username="@FridayWolf13" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2200/">@FridayWolf13</a><a class="username" data-user-id="2986" data-username="@GMO" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2986/">@GMO</a><a class="username" data-user-id="2093" data-username="@Sandman" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2093/">@Sandman</a><a class="username" data-user-id="634" data-username="@Villains" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/634/">@Villains</a><a class="username" data-user-id="3031" data-username="@One Wing" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/3031/">@One Wing</a>
