"So, what are you lads drinking?"
The chestnut mare smirked and hopped on to the bar stool beside the stallion and wolf, resting an elbow upon the bar. The grey horse twitched one ear but otherwise paid her no attention at all, allowing his friend to turn curiously in her direction. It was not often that they were bought drinks, much less by a lady. It was usually the guys that came on to Solus, the straight pup. Leaning forward, Amethyst caught the wolf's eye with a cheeky wink, breasts pressing as if by accident against her arms, limbs pushing over the high bar-top.
"Why do you offer?" The wolf, a traditional grey, patterned intricately in black and white markings that set him apart, raised an eyebrow. "I've seen you around the last couple of nights but you've never spoken to me, or Mugs. What gives?"
"You looked thirsty." The mare's eyes twinkled. "Hard up on your luck, perhaps?"
The wolf ran his fingers through his dark hair and leaned back, holding on to the bar for support lest he topple backwards and make a scene. It would not have been the first time: he usually had a few more drinks in him before falling off furniture, however.
"We don't need charity," he scoffed, sliding his empty pint glass from one paw to the other, stalling for time. "We own a brothel. A very successful brothel."
The dappled grey stallion threw his head back and laughed as if at a private joke, slapping his thigh. Clapping his friend on the shoulder with enough force to shove him forward, he stroked down the wolf's back, brushing over the wolf's lats, strong through his shirt - a touch gleaned as he drew away.
"She's having you on, Sol," he said, a twinkle in his eye, leaning over to grin at his friend. "Hey, Ammy. How was the trip?"
Solus tossed a paw in the air and rolled his eyes, thrusting his empty glass away. Well, there went any chance at a free drink.
"Oh, I see," Sol huffed, affecting affront and not giving Amethyst a chance to reply; her lips quirked unconsciously. "You're having me on, think you're being funny, do you?"
"I think he's being very funny."
Amethyst fed fuel to the fire with an innocent smile and tugged her black shirt, bare over one shoulder, into place, smoothing it down over the curve of her waist and hips. The wolf glared at the equine, Mugs, who held up his paws, as devoid of blame as a foal and above the realm of suspicion.
"Mugs says you wind him up," the mare said, chuckling politely behind her paw as Mugs eyed Sol from under his forelock, hardly covert in his flushed study of the wolf.
"I do not! Wait...so you do actually know each other?" Sol's ears pricked. "Well, if we're not to be introduced, I'm Sol."
"Nice to meet you, Sol, though I wish our introduction had been less of a trick," she grinned. "I've heard much about you, from the one and only stallion here, of course."
She licked her lips, mouth dry. Only part of her attention centred on the two males as Mugs leaned in close to Sol, speaking into his ear as a group of female furs passed behind, giggling like hyenas though there were none amongst them, to Amethyst's eye. So noisy. Some kind of hen party - not her scene at all. The pink was garish and she shuddered, turning back to the lads, and the one that she had come to meet in particular, taking only a brief moment to order a Pinot Gringo from the bartender. She hoped the glass was worth the price, as wary as always of ordering unknown wines abroad. A mare had her favourites and standards, after all.
"What brings you here?" Sol caught her attention as the wine glass clinked on to the bar top. "You are clearly not from this area - that's quite an accent."
Amethyst raised an eyebrow.
"Favour to a friend."
"Yeah, I got that," he snorted, relaxing as he laughed: maybe she was not so bad, though he would reserve judgement.
"It's Friday night, I need a bit of a break. Over here on a holiday of a kind, so to speak - a working holiday." She shrugged and took a sip from her glass. "What are you drinking? It really is on me. Same again?"
"Sure."
Sol pushed their glasses towards her and got the attention of the bartender, ordering a beer that she had not heard the name of - a local brew. The stallion blew his forelock out of his eyes and rapped his knuckles on the bar, jerking his head towards Sol as he caught their attention.
"He'd like to have something else 'on' you," Mugs quipped with a barely concealed, coltish grin. "If you catch my drift."
The equine and canine stared at him, Solus caught off guard in a rare instance of speechlessness.
"What on earth are you on about?" He asked bluntly after a few stunned seconds, holding one paw up to deliver his point of confusion. "That doesn't even make any sense. You're talking gibberish."
Mugs huffed and folded his arms across his broad chest, Amethyst following the line of muscle with her eyes and imagination. Though he wore a blue, branded t-shirt, the finely toned muscle was evident beneath his clothing, shirt pulling taut across his chest when he moved. He had changed since she had last seen him.
