At first he thought to ask what Zev thought he'd meant at first but decided against it; no doubt it was something wonderfully inappropriate. "Ah, I thought you wouldn't want to, all things considered," he replied with a smile. Both of them knew exactly who had encouraged him to stop smoking in the first place, and how, and how hard he'd been trying to do so; Charlie didn't really need to know any of that.
"Yeah, it's been rough as hell," he said to her instead, glancing over at her as they walked along towards where he'd parked his car. "Quitting is hard no matter how long you smoked for, and two years isn't a small amount of time. I started when I was sixteen," he admitted; the age needed no pause for thought or recollection, nor did the reason why he started in the first place. Not that Charlie needed to know that, either.
And then they neared his car; he pulled out his keys and tapped a button on the fob that prompted the lights to blink as the doors unlocked. "Alright, who wants to sit where? Besides me, of course, since neither of you are driving."

As he slipped off his coat and set it in a nearby chair, Sonia slipped off to find somewhere comfortable to settle down for a while. Paying her little mind in favor of watching Charlie make coffee, Abel simply shrugged as he hooked his thumbs into his pockets. "I'm not too picky with my coffee, so long as it's not instant, but generally I don't put too much extra stuff in it. And my parents always have good coffee at home, I just didn't for a while." 'A while' as in two years, but that was neither here nor there.
Sonia finally nestled herself in one of the chairs, curling up and idly glancing around the room, over the various decorations, what effects of Charlie's she could see, and finally over the trio of humans.

"I will have black, it is good to enjoy a thing in its pure form sometimes," Zevran decided as he tossed his coat over Abel's and then wandered over to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Okay I'll make that two white no sugar, on black no sugar," Charlie said as she pressed down the coffee and then poured out into two cups and one glass, obviously the room hadn't expected three for coffee. "Are you Spanish then?" Charlie asked as she passed one of the cups to Zevran. "Just, I know black coffee is traditionally popular there."
Zevran took the cup with an easy smile and nodded faked acknowledgement. "Si, the south coast, beautiful landscape and beautiful weather. The climate here I find not so good but the views," he glanced at Abel, "just as nice."

"Yeah, no," Charlie agreed with a shake of her head as she passed the second cup to Abel and then picked up the glass near the top, so as not to burn her fingers. "I grew up in Vancouver, Canada, but the last couple of years I've been all over the place with business. This is the furthest out I've ever been though! It's a pretty interesting place, more pokemon than I've ever seen before I gotta say."
"I had not seen many before I came here either; they are quite fascinating creatures, good friends many of them," Zevran said, and as he spoke he fetched a pokeball out of his pocket and released Amigo who - after a glance around - trilled a friendly greeting and settled on the bed beside Zevran. "This is Amigo, he was the first pokemon I caught!"
"Aww, how pretty!" Charlie cooed happily and waggled her fingers at the Butterfree. "Hello there Amigo. Mmh, you know I'm tempted to capture a couple for myself before I head off, I can really see how they could make life easier- and more fun right? So, how many do you guys both have?"

The taller blond accepted the cup with a word of thanks. Mmm, coffee... Not that he could drink it yet, of course, but the promise of hot, delicious coffee was enough. "That's pretty awesome; I've never been there. Hey Amigo," he added with a warm smile. It was always nice to see the Butterfree.
Their conversation continued for a while longer as they all slowly nursed their coffees, and only after they'd finished were alcoholic drinks suggested again. More drinks necessitated ice though, and Abel didn't hesitate to volunteer to fetch it. "I think I remember where the ice machine is anyway," he added thoughtfully, as he tried to recall where it was. "I'm pretty sure we passed it on our way in, so I'll be back in a minute." Sonia perked her head up but he waved her off - she looked too comfortable all curled up in the chair still - then grabbed the container meant for ice and slipped out the door.
Plus, being alone for a minute or two gave him the opportunity to think, to reflect... and to try and puzzle out his feelings.

"Ah, I hate to see you go but I love to watch you walk away!" Zevran grinned and winked as Abel headed for the door.
"He does have a cute butt," Charlie agreed thoughtfully as the door closed behind Abel. "I mean aesthetically, not the team I bat for but I can appreciate a nice a**. Right now though I gotta appreciate a pee, you really needed to know that right? But, small room, let's face it you'll probably hear me."
"Ha!" Zevran laughed and threw a cushion at Charlie as she headed for the bathroom. "I had been told that ladies never pissed, and that is why they cry more than men. Are you to shatter my illusions?"
"Nope," Charlie caught the cushion and threw it back, "I'm no lady!"
The door closed and Zevran occupied himself with his phone, or at least he started to when he heard a yelp and then a thump followed closely by-
"Ow. Uh. Could you give me a hand in here? I still have my pants up promise!"
"Hu?" Zevran raised an eyebrow and slipped his phone away as he got to his feet and headed to the bathroom. "What hap-?" He had expected, if anything, to see Charlie on the floor but she was not there, he couldn't see her at all and then the door slammed shut and the lock snicked into the place. He started to turn but she moved faster, slammed him back against the door with a knife in her hand and a knife-sharp grin slashed across her face.
"The Antivan Crows send their regards!"
