Roland was a little too drunk to care which one of them he went home with that night. He needed someone, and any warm, female body would do. Well, that wasn't entirely true. He really just wanted Riley. But he was still convinced that the door was closed on that one. She wasn't an option.
"So, Bella," he slurred, turning to the brunette. "What's a nice place like you doing in a girl like this?" he laughed at his own mix up. Looking at Nathalia, he continued, "Bella works at 'ogwarts... She's an assist... teaching assistant. Cause she's so good with kids, right?"

When Roland couldn't even get out a sentence properly Bellatrix giggled softly. "So good," she added humorously to Roland's comment. She finished her first drink and set the glass on the bar. "Nevermind what I'm doing here darling, what are you doing here?"

Roland turned to her, his eyes glassy but playful. "Why do most people come to bars?" he answered. His voice was still slurred, but his tone was serious. "Either 'cause they're looking for a good time, or 'cause they wanna forget the bad ones. Guess you could say I'm here for a little o' both."
It wasn't entirely true, but he was not about to tell Bella that he was here to block out his feelings for Riley. She'd met Riley, after all. She would probably suspect it would be her as soon as he mentioned his situation. No... he didn't want to talk about Riley with Bella. It was probably bad enough that he'd told Nathalia.

She smiled genuinely at that. She didn't care anything about the comment he made regarding bad times, only the one about good times. "If its a good time you're looking for, Roland, I'm definitely here" she said softly in his ear. And with another cute giggle she added, "And I'll be much more cooperative this time around." That went without saying but he was drunk and she would spell it out if he needed her to. She would do a lot of things if he needed or even wanted her to.

It wasn't worth fighting for tonight, Nathalia thought as she downed the next shot. Roland just needed a body. She understood that, and Bella, as he called her, looked ready and willing. She'd stay and chat, when the conversation turned, but she would back off when he was ready to leave.
She hoped her mother's night was going to turn out better than hers was already looking.

Roland laughed along with Bella, though he wasn't sure why he was laughing. Bella was being pretty obvious in her intentions, and while he was enjoying the attention, he was still aware that just a few minutes ago he'd been about to go home with Nathalia. A dim part of him realized he was being kind of a jerk.
"I also came here for another reason," he said. "I came to see Nat here." He nodded towards her, even though the movement made his head spin for a moment.

"The more the merrier," Bellatrix said softly. She leaned in front of Roland to get a better look at Nathalia. "Come on darling. There's no reason to be so quiet. We're all friends looking for a good time right? I don't see why we can't make it work."

Nathalia glanced at Bellatrix when she was spoken to, and her eyebrows went up. Not enough that Roland would notice, though she wondered if he was too drunk to realize what the brunette was suggesting.
And then she wondered if she actually had a problem with it. She didn't think she did, in all honesty. She'd never done it before, but that didn't mean she wasn't up for it.
"I was just letting the two of you get reaqquainted," Nat said, a smile crossing her features. She'd roll with it for now and see what happened.

Roland was pretty drunk. Still, the implication of Bella's comment was not completely lost on him. He just rather thought that his drunken imagination was hearing things. What Bella was suggesting... that was the kind of things guys talked about but never actually experienced, right?
However, he was also drunk enough to go for almost anything. He might have had a little more trouble with it if Bella had another guy she wanted to invite along.
"Hey, I'm open for anything," he said. "I like you both."

Bellatrix smiled at Roland's drunken declaration, then looked over to Nathalia. "I think a better place to get reacquainted would be my apartment. And I could get to know you a little better to." One eye brow went up questioningly. Would the bartender be going home with them or would she chicken out? Bellatrix didn't care who else was there, as long as Roland was going home with her.
"Or do you need another drink?" she asked almost teasingly.

If Nathalia had been ready to give up on Roland for the evening, that last question was a challange to her, and she wasn't going home now. Still... this was a little out of her league.
Well, if she was honest, no it wasn't. She'd done this before, even, except she had been the only girl. There wouldn't be much of a difference, not really.
"I'm fine, actually, and my shift ended a while ago. So... whenever the two of you are ready." She smiled.

Roland was still a little surprised by this turn of events, but he was willing to go with the flow. He couldn't deny that he was intrigued... it wasn't every day that a guy got such an offer. Going home with two beautiful women... It was just about every guy's ultimate fantasy. He just hoped he'd remember it in the morning.
Or maybe he didn't.
Either way, he grinned at both girls. "Well, if we sit here any longer, I'm just going to get another drink. It's prob'ly better we go while I can still walk."
Actually, he wasn't entirely sure he could still walk. Certainly not in a straight line, that was for sure. But who needed to do that, anyway?

Bellatrix didn't know if Nathalia was being honest, or just calling her bluff. It didn't matter as Bellatrix wouldn't joke about taking someone home, not in the moment. Nathalia could come or not, she only cared to make sure Roland came tonight. "My apartment's in London, and I don't fancy seeing you splinch yourself. Just make it to the fire place and your walking won't be an issue." Bellatrix would use the Floo Network only when she really needed to, she wasn't fond of soot. But she wasn't about to trust the drunken Auror on a broomstick or with apparation. And this way, if Nathalia went first, she could better make sure Roland went where he was supposed to be going. Bellatrix rarely trusted other women, especially when sex was involved.

Nathalia probably would have bowed out if it hadn't been put to her as a challange. She had a hard time turning those down... and besides, she was one of the last girls on the planet to be called a prude.
"Kind of you to offer your apartment," Nathalia said, catching Jerry's eyes and nodding to let him know she was leaving. Honestly, she was surprised as hell that Bella was still okay with her coming, too. "Come on, Roland. You can lean on me, if you need to."

Roland laughed. Yes, he probably was too drunk to apparate. "I would love to lean on you, Nat," he said. He slid off of the barstool and to his feet. He wobbled dangerously for a minute, then steadied. "I think I can make it there."
The fireplace was over in the corner, on the opposite side from the karaoke stage. It wasn't far.
"Well, let's go."

Bellatrix gathered her things, not caring that Roland was leaning on Nathalia for support. In her heels, she wouldn't have been very sturdy. The group headed to the fireplace and with a flash of green flame and a little soot, they all ended up in Bellatrix's apartment.
Bellatrix tossed her things into a chair and pulled the clip from her hair, letting her curls bounce into place around her shoulders. "Can I get either of you anything?" She looked more to Nathalia than Roland, knowing he didn't really need another drink but she'd give him one if he asked.

Roland made his way over to the sofa. "I would, but I prob'ly shouldn't," he said. "If I 'ave another, I think I might pass out, and you girls'd 'ave to carry on without me... Not that I'd mind... I just wouldn't get to see it..."
He gave a little drunken laugh as he sank down onto the couch, looking at both Bella and Nathalia. He rather hoped Nathalia agreed to another drink, because it would give the alcohol he'd already consumed a chance to wear off a little bit.

Unfortunately for Roland, Nathalia wanted no more alcohol in her system. As strangely nervous as this situation made her, she wanted control over herself. It was just a shame she wouldn't be able to blame the alcohol in the morning.
She smiled and shook her head. "Thank you, but I'm fine." She stayed on her feet, but leaned over the back of the sofa on Roland's left side.
