This is so embarrassing, humiliating and kind of feels like this happened before.

"Eat."

"Here the drink."

The extra person wasn't here.

Stolas lifted his face off the table as he sent a look to Vassago.

Five hours.

Five hours Moxxie, Vassago have been hanging out while he was passed out.

Vassago is getting along to well with Moxxie if these two have been hanging out while he was resting from his late-night drinking. Gone far to cook breakfast together for him. That what woke him up, with the tv on and the volume low, was the smell. He stumbled his way into the kitchen. Wide awake to see their pair just cooking. Vassago let out happy squawk with laughter while Moxxie just rolling their eyes at them with a relax posture.

"I told you it was the cousin."

"You were right. I was wrong. You happy you jackal."

"Yes, yes I am." The shade wearing avian began to laugh. Not his normal laugh but instead it did sound like an actual jackal.

"Where you learn to mimic that one?"

"A party few years back with my colleagues. He got drunk to the point he would laugh at the smallest things. Even the unfunny one. So, I copied it since he was being very rude to a guest of mine." He grinned a bit. "I try not to get petty but well it wasn't a good day for me to get a little, harmless payback. So, I used it to embarrass him in front of someone he was eyeing. The wrong time and moment to 'laugh' at a poor topic."

"Was that someone out of their league."

"I save their time to not waste with him. He was a horrid pig. Try to blame me but at last no proof to blame me."

"Copyright infringement."

A horrid gasp as he points at them. "Do not let them hear that. Probably would pull a move like that on me. They are that petty."

"Even the Yeti?"

"Especially the Yeti."

Stolas had to turn away to smack himself if this was some crazy dream. It was not as he still got the hangover to prove it and pain to the cheek.

What the hell have these two been discussing while he passed out?

Rewind backwards to a few hours ago.

Moxxie, Vassago just stared at the drooling owl on the couch. He kicks the pillow. Both stare at the other and back down at him.

A few minutes later.

Moxxie place a blanket over Stolas while Vassago put a comfy pillow under his head. Keep him comfortable as possible but get a headache later.

"So, you're not a new hire."

"Nope."

"Are you that imp? The one he cheated on with his ex."

"Nope. Are you like his ex-Pigeon brother the Yeti?"

"What? Ex-Pigeon, Yeti?" He looks very confused. The only ex he knows about is. Wait a second. His eyes went comically wide behind those shades. "Are you talk about Stolas ex-wife and her brother."

"Yes."

"...Can you wait right here for a few seconds."

Moxxie shrugged. Go do what you need to do, I don't care. Goes looking at his phone while Vassago walked out the living room. Not bothered to turn around what going off in the hidden corner of the background.

"HAHWHAHWHAWHAHWA YETI HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The eruption of laughter should have woken anyone up. Just a rare night nobody didn't have to wake up. They would have seen the parrot on the ground slamming his fist on the floor. Ready to die on the spot. 

In a snap the Goetia came back to the room as if nothing had happened with a smile. 

Moxxie didn't look up at all when he came back. "You're staying?"

"I do need to stay. This talk really is well." It didn't look like he really wanted to explain what it was fully about.

"Yeah, yeah royal bothersome paperwork." Wave it off. Not their business what the job does.

"One way to put it. Where his child?"

"She in bed." A little hum. "Hey Starburst?"

"Yes?"

"Want to watch some tv? I'm going to stay and then make this one a hangover breakfast?" Point at the tv in front of them.

"Are there any tomatoes?"

Look up in confusion because he wants those. "I don't know."

"Get the tv ready and ill check there are some to make him a drink. He'll hate it but it helps."

"Thoughts on Spanish Soap Operas?"

Again, who knows what these two talk about. Well, one of the two alive so should be have been fine.

Head still pounding furiously in the early mornings. Glance at Moxxie as they sat by them while taking a sip of their own drink. Vassago on the other having a sip of his own too. Grabs the fork to stab into the egg and eats it. Look at the drink suspiciously. "What is that?"

"It's a Bloody Mary."

"Is that tomato juice?"

"Yes."

"I'm not drinking that."

"I think you should."

"Is this a form of punishment?"

"Double. So, yes."

"Don't you care about me?" Sees the Imp crossed their arms with a raised eyebrow. As if they are waiting for him to say something else. Let out an awkward hoot and go to take a sip of the drinks. Gags and them let out a burp. He was very embarrassed as he lowered his head further down. Then suddenly he felt them brush their feathers and put a soft material around his forehead.

"This will help with the hangover." Moxxie whispered in their ear while Vassago was distracted. "Should destroy it quicker but you got to eat and stay hydrated."

Lift their head up a bit. Send their imp a soft smile. "Thank you. I do apologize for how I behaved. I wanted us to have a good time."

"We did even if you were using me like tissue paper."

After the early breakfast was done Moxxie goes to head out.

"Do you have to go so soon?"

"Starburst there got some royal jumbo to talk to you about. I also have to be elsewhere."

A sadden frown with a small twitch of the nickname.

Moxxie pat Stolas hand. "Call when your less acidy."

"I will. I will. Thank you for staying." Along with dealing with my ass. Reach to touch their hand that pat his own.

"I did say I was. Also take a bath Frogmouth."

"Tell me you didn't call that around him."

"It was tempting but you were going to be punished with that drink." See him relax. "Next time might not be."

A small groan as he took another sip of his drink. Gag. "This is horrible."

"It's not that bad."

"You drink it then."

"Nice try."

Soon Moxxie was out the door as they wave good-bye to the avian pair.

"Their funny." Vassago chirp as he waves bye back to Moxxie at the door.

Stolas grumbles under his breath as his headache is not as terrible. Waves bye back to Moxxie with a softer look. The owl took another sip of the vile drink that has been helping, same with the headband. Doesn't feel drunk anymore. Still, he almost wishes he did forget the embarrassment and his behavior around Moxxie. At least his daughter was asleep to not see it. Striker was busy watching her so won't have to deal with that. A slight plead to Moxxie to not say anything to him. Which he got them to agreed only because Moxxie knows how Rattles would have acted out like. But not to get used to it.

"I mean it Stolas." Vassago looked at him. No, ugly sneer. No mocking him of sorts. He had a good time with Moxxie. He kind of liked Stolas when it was about Hellborns. Yet, this one was quite peculiar, odd with an indifferent attitude. He still had a decent conversation as it would go back and forth in Spanish. Got some very good laughs as too. "Starburst! I'm liking it very much."

As annoyed Stolas is he also wants to laugh at a passing thought. Andrealphus would lose his feathers if he learns about it. Oh, he hopes he does somehow with these two together.

"Do you have a nickname?"

"Vassago." He is not going to reveal that nickname. He also wants to get to the point as he has a feeling for what this is about.

Another matter he has been trying to avoid. Not let the others know about it. Go far for even Octavia doesn't know and with Striker distraction on her. He wouldn't know either. Hope it doesn't reach the point if the others were to get involved.

"Why are you here?"

Stare but soon let out a tired sigh. Face turns serious, as the shades slide down with his red eye looking at his fellow Goetia own red eyes. Turn around to close the door behind. "Let's go to your office Prince Stolas."

Blast it.
