For some odd reason Lyra never really considered that Nicolas would have relationships outside of his strange sort-of-engagement to Samantha. He doted on her, to the point he had nearly made Lyra run away just to keep Sam from falling from grace in the eyes of society. She didn't think Nik was a virgin, she wouldn't have made it long into this game with that mindset even if she had thought so before, but two and two had never made four before when it came to Nik and women. And Lyra knew with absolute certainty that none of Nicolas' sexcapades involved Samantha.
"There you go with that big ego again," she said teasingly. "Yes, Nik, we all know you are bloody gorgeous."

"Oh do we now?" he said in mock shock, "And here I thought I was an assless leper." he said raising an eyebrow in her direction. She had certainly insulted him often enough, it was a good thing he had a pretty solid ego.

Lyra leaned across the table, steadying herself with one hand on the cushion of his seat. She pressed her other hand to his cheek. "You see, the problem with this," she said as he hand slid down his face, "is this." Her fingers trailed over his lips and she pressed a single finger to his mouth as if to signal he should be quiet. "Sshhh," she told him before smiling and pulling herself back into her own seat.

He merely smiled at her, "Alright whose turn is it?" he asked though he was fairly certain if they kept asking sexual questions they would indeed run out of alcohol.

Lyra looked up as she rolled back their conversation in her head. "I said I'd never been injured in bed - and drank to that one, and apparently for all your running in circles around me you've never once tripped and skinned your knee."

He had never been injured, though he had caused some injuries if that counted, but he would not be sharing those stories.
"Never, have I ever, slept with a professor of mine." he said eyeing her.

Lyra laughed. "Money or grades, still not a whore. Though, I can't say I wasn't tempted by Professor Reid." Lyra gave a girlish smile as her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell backwards into the plush armchair.

He rolled his eyes, "I wasn't suggesting you would do it for academic purposes." he sighed, "At least you didn't say Sam's brother." Nik shuddered.
He liked Caleb, but the amount of school girls that fawned over that boy/man, was rather ego provoking.

"I was being polite, seeing as how you're nearly family in some strange way or another. But as you brought him up, there wasn't a girl in school who didn't fancy Professor Renneau."
"I did wind up in his bedroom chambers once, but that's about as close as that ever came. Actually, that's where I first met Julian." Lyra laughed and took a sip of her drink, not confessing anything simply enjoying Nik's company, as strange as that may have been.

"So I've been told." he said with mild disgust the way men often felt of close friends or family being the object of affection.
He had heard the story of Lyra's break up and subsequent introduction to Julian, though he hadn't heard how she ended up in Caleb's room.
"I believe he might fancy one of them in return."
Another secret Nik would be keeping.

Lyra nearly spit her drink out as Nik let loose a most scandalous secret. She choked it back and coughed a few times before setting down her glass and once again moving to the edge of her seat.
"You're kidding! Who?" Lyra knew he wasn't going to give away any information, but the tease was too much for her to not attempt to get something more out of him. She moved around the table and sat on the arm of his chair, hovering over him and far closer than he would feel comfortable with.
"You have to tell me now. You can't drop something like that on a girl and then keep it to yourself."

Nik grinned. He was enjoying having the upper hand, which he so rarely had with her.
"Nope. Now I believe it's your turn."

She tugged on his sleeve as she gave her most pleading look. "Come on Nik, I won't tell anyone. Just give me a hint. What year is she? Or what house?" Her tugging stilled as she thought for a moment. "I'll bet she's in Ravenclaw. He seems like he'd fancy the bookworms."

The truth was Nik didn't know who the chit was, he had his suspicions and it wasn't as though he couldn't figure out if he had decided to, but for the time being there was no need.
"Is that a concession then? Have I won? How do you win this bloody game?"

Lyra laughed. "You win when you can't walk straight." She stood from her place on the arm of his chair and held out her hand for him. He'd consumed more than she had, but she was smaller. Still, she suspected he would waver just a bit more than she would.

Nik sighed looking at the meager amount of alcohol they had left in the bottle, it hadn't been too full to begin with.
"Well then, stop pestering me and ask your next bloody question."

She dropped her hand and had a strange expression on her face as she turned away from him to return to her own chair. She was pleased that he seemed to be enjoying her company for once, but saddened that the near empty bottle of alcohol seemed to have done very little to help him forget the pain of his sister's birthday. Her features were schooled into a devilish grin when she turned back to face him.
"Never have I ever had sex with two women at once."

Nik looked at her and paused for a moment before smiling almost sinfully. The alcohol had loosened him up, and he was surprisingly enjoying himself with her, but thinking on all his previous dirty deeds, and teasing Lyra about tattoos and her old professor's secrets had done much to restore him.
To answer her latest statement Nik lifted the cup to his mouth and took a sip, "As it turns out...I am quite the whore." he said with a small laugh.

Lyra laughed before finishing the last of her drink. "I knew it!" she cried with a wide grin. "Well, I didn't know it. You seem more like a missionary man than anything else, but even still..."

"Wait!" he said seeing her drink, "Don't tell me you..." he asked suddenly very curious.
