Summary
“Well, well, look what the cat dragged in and pissed all over.” an irritatingly familiar accent spoke from behind him, and Ambrosius turned his head to greet his wayward informant, biting back a scoff at the provocative way he leaned against a half-rotted door frame, just waiting for him to notice.
“Ballister.” he greeted tersely, “You weren’t followed?”
“Who do you think you’re talking to?” Ballister grinned, bathed in the purple neon glow, “Your faith in me is, as ever, flattering.”

Summary
“Very funny.” Ambrosius said flatly, “Your message said it was urgent, and yet here you are wasting my time. If you just wanted to mess around, I’m leaving.”
“Most men don’t like a rush job, pretty boy.” Ballister rolled his eyes, “But fine, fine. I find myself in the unpleasant position of needing your help.”
“With what?”
“I’ve been drugged.” he said casually, and Ambrosius’ breath caught in his throat.

Summary
“Hello, hello, beautiful stranger.” he grinned, and got to watch those pretty black eyes widen at the sight of him.
“Ballister?” he asked incredulously, “What are you-“
“Careful.” he smiled sweetly, placing a finger to his lips with a pointed glance at a nearby table, where several knights were deep in an argument about ale flavors, “Don’t want your friends to see you all chummy with a strange man in Outer City garb, now do we?”

Summary
“The truth is, my ex boyfriend is going to be at my meeting tonight.” Ballister said, “And he’s going to try and win me back for the millionth time despite me having made my disinterest quite clear, so I want you there to act as a buffer.”
“Your ex?” Ambrosius sounded taken aback, “Wait, buffer meaning what exactly?”
“If he sees me all cozy with a man significantly hotter and stronger and more well-off than him, he’ll likely back off for good.” he chirped, “Or at least fuck off to tend his wounded pride for a couple of months. It’s that easy, just an hour or so pretending to adore me and you’ll be free to go with a few coins for your trouble.”

Summary
“You gonna try and run from me again?” Ambrosius asked lowly, and Ballister bristled.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing, snatching me off the street like some freaky little weirdo?” he demanded, “I could have decked you, I still might if you don’t let me go this instant!”
“No.” he murmured lowly, tightening his grip, “No, I don’t think I will.”
