[Taako is drunk. He knows this because he's spent the last couple of minutes trying very hard to remember a particular spell and is utterly failing to do so, which is always a sure sign. Bryn is also drunk, he's pretty sure, considering the way she's half-draped herself across him and keeps missing when she goes to take a sip from the brightly colored straw sticking out of her drink.
It's kind of cute.
They've spent the last twenty minutes trading suggestions of which guys they think are hot, and it's Taako's turn.]
I gotta say, muscles aren't usually my thing, but he's rocking that look.
[Stop talking about Sam that way he's a human being.]

Bryn is definitely drunk. What bare skin is showing (and let's be honest it's more uncovered than covered) is spattered with the powdered drug which makes her a little extra everything. Taako smells nice and his hair is soft which is why she's half draped over him and playing with his hair. While drinking and scoping out men.]
Hmm, who--oh. Yes. [She looks up from chasing her straw with her tongue and catches sigh of Sam.] Muscles are definitely my thing and yes he is working that. You or me?
[Who's calling dibs on first approach?]

[Sam's dressed relatively simply, in a tank top and jeans, but they cling in a way that's pretty much obscene, especially when he's on the dance floor. Just then, the dance ends, and he happens to glance over his shoulder at Bryn and Taako. There's no question that they're checking him out, and he approaches with a friendly smile.]
So, the two of you together?
So, the two of you together?
[Would you look at that problem absolutely solving itself thanks to their lack of subtlety.]
She wishes.
[Probably not, Bryn has way better taste.]
What's your name, handsome?
[In an act of absolutely generosity, he reaches across Bryn to pat the empty space beside her, indicating that Sam should take a seat.]

[Well hello there side of beef. What is subtlety? What is trying to hide that she's checking him out?]
We'd be a pretty power couple, though, you have to admit it.
[The last is to Taako, indicated with a quick glance, but her smile is inviting as he pats the seat for Sam.]
And yes, sit, get cozy, stay a while.

[Sam sits down next to Bryn, maybe a little closer than he might normally, his thigh brushing against hers.]
I'm Sam. Don't suppose your name is Legolas?
[Yeah, he's drunk enough to think that's funny, even though Bryn and Taako aren't going to get it. Whatever, he's just going to let his gaze linger on Taako's legs anyway.]

[After all he's done for you, Bryn, and now this betrayal.]
I'm gonna assume that's some kinda reference I absolutely do not know. I mean, I get the legs part, you're clearly not blind, but Legolas just sounds like a real crappy name.
[Because he can thrown stones when it comes to names.]

[Sam just waves it away.]
Stuff from my world, doesn't matter. Point is, I'd like to get to know you two a little better.
[Well, okay, he'll spare a glance for Bryn's legs, too, since she's so insistent. And maybe scoot his eyes up to her cleavage eventually.]

[Bryn chases her straw with more skill this time, eyes on Sam when eventually his eyes make it to her legs. Pleased, she leans back a bit to make it easier for Taako to lean into the conversation as well. And she's totally not arching her back to put the aforementioned cleavage to better advantage, nope.]
Well, I'm Bryn and I think that sounds great. Can we get you a drink? [So he doesn't feel left out. Nevermind that Bryn's probably going to be the one paying. She and Taako are a team in this right??]

[He's honestly impressed at the effort Bryn is putting in here, but he does appreciate that she's making a little room, which he's going to take advantage of by leaning in a little.]
Taako. [And actually, speaking of drinks.] If you're feeling brave, my man, I can get us a bottle of something for shots.
[The word "get" is super deliberate here, don't tell the bartender.]

[The word "get" is super deliberate here, don't tell the bartender.]
[Taako grins at both the hand on his knee and the response, then waves a hand in the air to cast two spells. First, he puts an illusory bottle of flavored vodka over the top of the bottle sitting on the shelf behind the bartender, then a faint blue hand picks up the real bottle and quickly but carefully brings it over to their table, deftly avoiding anyone who steps in it's path.
There's empty shot glasses on the table from their last few rounds, and with a snap of his fingers they're all clean, ready to be used.
He might be showing off a little.]

[He might be showing off a lot but Bryn is nothing if not appreciative and admiring of his skill and happily passes out shot glasses, leaving Taako to pour the vodka for them all. And when she's freed up a hand, she's just going to slide it behind Sam to rest low at his back.
What a good night, pressed between two attractive men. Oh, sure, one of them has no interest in her physically but does that really matter that much?]
His worst also happens to be his best. [Have a kiss on the cheek, drinking buddy. Bryn is feeling very affectionate, okay, this powder stuff is delightful and relaxing and all kinds of other things.] What about you, Sam? Going to do your worst or show us your best?

Oooh, magic. Fancy party tricks.
[Sam gladly leans into Bryn's touch, scooting a little closer to the both of them. He knows their names now, which means that it's a-okay to go all out.]
I always believe in putting my best foot forward, personally. Or whichever body part is most relevant at the time.

[He can't help the fond look he shoots at Bryn for that kiss on the cheek, but then he's just straight up laughing at what Sam says, trying not to spill too much of the vodka as he pours it. It's probably bubblegum flavored because Taako is attracted to colorful things.]
Does that line like, ever work? 'Cause it was pretty cheesy.
[He's into it, in all honesty, but he has a terrible sense of humor.]

Depends on how drunk people are.
[Sam just grins and shrugs. He knows it's terrible, but he also has a certain talent for pulling terrible lines off because he's self-aware enough and doesn't mean them with any seriousness.]
And whether or not they've got a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
[Also Sam's smile probably helps.]

[Sam's smile helps a lot. The line was definitely cheesy but he's not wrong. As someone with a sense of humor and a certain level of inebriation, she found it funny. She's into it.]
Well in that case I'd like to propose a toast. [Grinning, she lifts her shot glass of bubblegum vodka.] To all of us putting our best body parts forward?

That's all of me, bubbale.
[He says it like obviously she should know this, but he still picks up a glass and raises it in a toast.]
My sense of humor is another matter entirely.
[It's great (it's not).]

[Sam takes his glass and clinks it against the other two before tossing it back with ease. It's not his first drink of the night, and it probably won't be the last.]
Mm, I think I can agree with that assessment.
[He eyes Taako appraisingly as he sets his glass back on the table.]
Anything useful I should know about elves? You are an elf, right?

[Taako knocks the shot back as soon as the toast is done, pleased with his choice of alcohol even if it still has that slight vodka burn beneath the sweetness.]
I am an elf, good guess. [As if it was super hard to figure out and while he does briefly consider making up some bullshit about elves just for shits and giggles, honesty is probably the best bet if he wants to avoid any potential misunderstandings.] We're really not all that different from humans, aside from the ageing thing, but I'm not old as shit or anything. I can see in the dark and technically I don't sleep. That's like, that's really it, my man.
[The wizard thing is more exciting than the elf thing, really.]

[Taako laughs, but gives his head a little shake.]
Same as every other race, it's all personal preference. [Which absolutely does not answer whether his are or not, that's going to remain a fun mystery.] Rumor has it the long ears are 'cause we're descended from the fey.

[He lets his fingertips fall just shy of the point of the ear, gently stroking along the rim.]
Hey, just thought I'd ask.
[And watch to see the elf's reaction to his touch. He lets his other hand settle on Bryn's thigh, letting her know he hasn't forgotten her.]

[Bryn's more than fine letting them converse. In truth, Sam's asking some questions that Bryn had wondered about herself, but hadn't voiced aloud. Hearing Taako's answers make her curious, and she tucks them away as future knowledge.
And as Sam's hand settles on her thigh she smiles, lifting her knee as if to use gravity to slide it in closer as her own hand dips low to settle on his ass.
Otherwise, well, she's content to hear this play out a while longer.]
