"Oh good." Keiran grinned, although not sure what he would have said if Phoenix agreed that he flirted with everyone Thankfully Phoenix kept the conversation playful and teasing, which Keiran was more than happy to go along with. He gave a small pout, "Well, there's no one sober around here." Definitely not him, that was for sure since he had drunk far more than he should before Phoenix had even arrived on the scene. The water really was a good idea.
Or so Keiran had thought, as he took a long drink as Phoenix slid closer to him. It turned out to be a bad idea the moment Phoenix bluntly laid out his plans for the evening, especially the 'fuck you senseless' bit, at which Keiran proceeded to inhale the gulp of water he had just taken. The water burned and he coughed, spluttering as he choked on the water. Pre-occupied with trying not to die, didn't provide Keiran much time to prepare an answer to Phoenix's proposition. In fact, it only proceeded to make things more awkward when he did finally get this breath back.
"Ah - He cleared his throat, "That's -" Another cough. " - Um..."
Phoenix wasn't done though and Keiran gave a wide-eyed, slow nod, "Yeah, options." Though he was getting the feeling that his options were sex with Phoenix or sex with Phoenix. Obviously, it wasn't the worst thing in the world, not by a long shot and the fact he was even being slightly awkward and weird about it was stupid - how many men would have killed for the chance to just meet someone and immediately head off to fuck? Gift horse, mouth, all that jazz. Keiran just wasn't used to how blunt Phoenix was being. It was one thing for someone to tell you that you were attractive and they were interested, but it was entirely another for them to essentially pounce you and very clearly make plans to shag...It was flattering, but it was a lot.
Thankfully Phoenix did seem to realise he was only making things difficult for Keiran, and instead took an abrupt turn onto the most mundane of small talk. Kerian felt like he was getting whiplash...
"I'm a paramedic - " he replied, voice still croaky until he cleared it one more time, "Well, I mean, technically not here I'm not. Like, in Australia, I am - well - was, but here because of the certification system - " He paused, realising Phoenix probably didn't care all that much and instead flashed him a sheepish grin, "It's a long story. "
