"Are expected," Nathan says casually. "Anyone not packing at my party is an idiot."
Vasco watches him carefully, considering. Then, "And your whore?"
"What about him?" Nathan asks, unfazed. He knew it was coming. "If you're concerned about his behavior, I assure you that he learned his lesson tonight."
Vasco smirks. "I wouldn't mind if he hadn't. It was a damn nice show."
"That it was." Nathan breathes once. In. Out.You're doing this for Carter."Perhaps there will be an encore. It's my birthday, after all. What better way to celebrate?"
"That's awfully tempting, Roarke."
"Then come." Nathan nods at the serving slave who appears with their drinks. He takes his own from the tray and raises it in cheers towards Vasco. Surprising the hell out of him - not that he shows it at all - Vasco returns the sentiment. "We don't have to work together, Vasco. We don't even have to be friends. But we do share a border. No harm in being neutral, don't you agree?"
Vasco studies him for a long moment. Then he smiles. "Yes, Roarke. I believe I do."
