You close your eyes as his mouth creeps closer to your neck, "Oh god, please don't hurt me," You squeak out.

You really don't expect this to work, so you're more than a little amazed when you feel him pull away and sigh.

"Oh wouldn't this amuse Nicholas," You hear him mumble, but since you know he isn't talking to you, you wisely remain silent.

Finally he turns back to you and puts one long finger under your chin, tilts your head back and looks you in the eyes.
 

You hear him talking then, but it's as if his voice is coming from far away, down a tunnel maybe. The rich almost musical quality of his voice seems to wash over you, you smile and lean towards him, but he straightens you up again.  He then walks away and leaves you standing there. You try to remember what he just said, but you can't seem to make any connections. You open your mouth to ask him, but just then you hear the door open.

It's the bartender, you see Lacroix talking to him, but you can't make out the words.
 

Next thing you know, your being loaded into a cab and sent home, never to return to the Raven again. But you -did- have a fabulous time! J
