Krys watched Oliver leave after the woman. She took in a deep breath, unsure how she felt about it. She knew that he could take care of himself. After all, he had more control than she did.
She grabbed the whiskey as requested. She got herself a glass of coke. It was probably for the best that she stopped drinking. She wanted to keep going as images of that night crossed her mind. She took in a shaky breath as she clenched her fists. She was only protecting her sister. She told herself over and over again.

Cate grinned to Leslie as she finished off her martini “Lets!” She replied gently as she picked up her glass and carried over to the bar. Her hand rummaged through her purse and grabbed a few pounds of currency to pay for the drinks “It’s on me tonight, Taylor. I want to spend some of my hard earned money.” She winked playfully.
Twirling around, she held out her hand to him “Shall we?” She asked, how with a bit of fun in her tone as she sneakily admired his features. She had just gone through the worst thing imaginable, but she could still appreciate a good-looking man. Hopefully she could gain a friendship from this stranger; after all, she knew no one here...

Leslie was finishing up his pint when Rose sudden popped up and said they were going to go dancing. He didn’t argue with her because well he needed the time to just have fun and get rid of his stress for the evening. He was busy getting himself up when she came back and announced it was on her.
“That may actually impugn upon my nature and raising. Although tonight I will fight it down Rose and do as you say.”
Her mood seemed to have turned and her spirits were high. The wink and twirl were factors that made one not say no. He quickly checked himself and realized that she was just trying to have fun and well he hadn’t had fun himself in a while. No wasn’t an answer.
“Yes let’s.”
He took her hand as he had it gently in his grip he looked at her, really took in her features. He wasn’t surprised but captivated by them. He gave himself a mental shake as Cain called out to him.
“Cab will be outside in five you two. Are ya sure you shouldn’t leave some bail money with me?”
The joke was well placed with the high energy and he actually laugh.
“Not tonight dad, we’ll behave enough.”
He let Cate take the lead. She was the one who had the plan and whatever it was he wasn’t going to say no.
“Dancing and drinking? Sounds like you’ve been thinking about that for more than a few moments. Lead on.”

Cate looked to Leslie and smiled while she lead the way. The cab ride was smooth and quick. Once they arrived, she grabbed a wad of pounds and shoved them at the driver “Thanks!” She giggled happily before opening of the door to get out of the car.
Standing up, she smoothed our her dress and waited for Leslie “I’m a bit over-dressed I suppose.” She sighed quickly “And to answer your question, drinks and dancing is perfect!” She beamed happily “I won’t keep you too late; I also have an early start in the morning.” She winked playfully.

“BLOODY HELL, WOMAN!” He yelled. Oliver never raised his voice toward the opposite sex, but he didn’t even consider Daphne to have a soul “You were attacked because you killed Euan! A threat was there and Krys was saving her sister! How you can expect someone to just stand by while one of your family is murdered? Krys has no idea what was going on and seeing Euan be attacked, she felt that Cate was next, due to the history of the situation. She was protecting her sister! That’s what family does, Daphne!” He growled
“Excalibur has killed, yes, but only when we have no other choice. And I mean NO other one. We don’t kill otherwise. Bloody hell...” he sighed heavily “I wasn’t there, I know, but I know based on the facts that my best friend is gone. You took that from me. And Frost... I cannot believe you follow that sociopath. She’s not a good person. You two are meant for each other.” He scoffed before backing away “I went to hell whenever Euan died. I’m finally climbing back out. How about you reflect on yourself and your choice for a change. Emma can take care of herself. She turns men into blubbering idiots and she makes women follow her blindly. Emma only cares about what Emma wants. As far as I’m concerned, you two can disappear and I wouldn’t pay no mind.”
With that, he stormed back into the pub and placed money on the bar “Krys, mind if we head back to the manor? I need to punch something.”

Fingers drummed across the table as Krys stared at the door. She kept telling herself over and over again that Oliver was a grown man. There was just something about the situation that did not feel right. Over the past few weeks, she came to think of him as an older brother. It was a nice thought to have so much family when before it was just her grandmother.
A heavy sigh left her lips as she fidgeted around. She slammed down the rest of her drink. Images of the last time she saw the woman flowed over her. She had enough with sitting around doing nothing. She signaled the waitress to come over as she asked to have it to go. She was about to settle the tab when he came back. Her eyebrows knitted together as she responded.
"Yeah, that is fine. Our food should be here in a second. Everything okay?"

Leslie liked the energy she was giving off. It wasn’t everyday you went on an adventure with a complete stranger after a twelve hour shift. That and the stranger being someone who you were just trying to keep a creep from bothering while they relaxed. He was just going to leave it at that and then the most perfect idea of fun was given to him. Dancing! He hadn’t been dancing since that village in central Africa where they had him dancing with their people because he wasn’t going to leave under a threat of armed men. He had sick people who were relying on his help to administer aid and inoculate them against measles and chicken pox. That was exactly why he stayed and ended up in the hands of those terrible people. He was glad the bar was dim. It kept Rose from seeing the small scar on his temple. He snapped out of it once the cab came to a stop.
“Well let’s not keep you from the dance floor. I have nowhere to be tomorrow and I don’t have a curfew. The night is young and the dance floor beckons. Plus I have yet to find a place that has a taste of home. You know good American whiskey. Who knows maybe tonight I’ll find that place. Oh I also get to show you how terribly I can dance. There is that.”
He gave Rose a warm smile as he paid their admission into the place and they were given armbands. He thanked the gentleman and offered his arm again to Rose.
“Shall we?”

Cate slipped her arm into his as they walked through the doors and onto the floor "You didn't have to pay for me, Taylor. I'll pay you back." she smiled sweetly. "We're probably the only two Americans here...we may as well represent." she drunkenly laughed "With manners, of course." she spoke before twirling to the music.
His eyes glittered under the light of the club. The beat seemed to have moved her hips for her as she looked to him just a little longer than was appropriate. Last call would be approaching soon, but she paid no mind. She was having a blast and wanted to make this night last for as long as possible.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Oliver sighed heavily as he sat across from Krystal "No, everything is not okay. I've relived the most traumatic aspect of my life and I wasn't even present when he passed. "If you don't mind going back to the manor, I need to punch something and to shower. Krys..." he whispered somberly "I'm horrible company tonight and I apologize. I promise next time, next time it'll be better. It just," he sighed heavily "when I see that woman, I completely lose myself into a rage.."

Krys nodded her head as she knew that feeling. Her parents had died when she was young in a car accident. It took a long time before she was mostly okay again. She understood what it means to lose someone. It was something different when she witness the brutal murder of someone. She had buried what happened the night with all of her training. She reached across the table as she didn't want to make the pain worse.
She squeezed his arm with a nod. "It's...okay. I know you were not expecting to meet her here. I will grab the food and meet you in the car? It will give you time to cool off. Just focus on the image of me summoning a snow monster which slammed her into a car."

Oliver laughed at that “Krys, love, you’re hilarious.” With that, he ventured to his Jeep to bring it over. Keeping the vehicle warm, he pulled into the curb and waited. The streets lamps had just come on and it was turning past 8. There had been so much shite that happened. His life was quite literally upside down.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, the man rubbed his eyes and tried to focus back into the bleak moment that was the present. Taking in a deep breath, he placed the gear in park, continuing to wait.

Krys watched the man leave as a sigh escaped her lips. She gave him a better image to focus on from whatever the conversation was. She tapped her foot as she paid the bill. The food was brought as she headed out the door. It seemed like a theme had been following her around lately.
She hopped into the Jeep as she glanced over. "Let's go eat. I am starving. I would hate to have to reheat this."

"Yeah, the pub fries are terrible reheated." he laughed before pulling off into the road. Ahead of him the streetlights began to flicker on. The ride was smooth and silent until he shrugged his shoulders "The woman almost literally drives me insane. Apologizing for the blood bath she caused. Hell, I would have killed her had you not been there just now." he shook his head "But I promised Brian that no further bloodshed would happen from the incident. The man doesn't know how it feels."
Looking to Krys, he gave a simple smirk "Enough drama! How 'bout we get more beer and eat our sorrows away, aye?" he asked gently as he turned onto the loot of the mansion.

Krys laughed along with the man. She rolled down the window slightly as her fingers danced over the wind. Her fingers glazed with ice as she looked over at him. Her head tilted as she narrowed her eyes slighted at his words. It was rather curious there was an apology. So the tin woman did have a heart after all. It made her feel slightly guilty for throwing her into a car.
Her other hand covered one Oliver's, "Think of it this way, she was remorseful. Does it change anything, gods not even close. It makes me think that part of it was her acting on orders as I was there. I feel slightly bad for what I did to her. As my grandmother states you can forgive and move on, just don't forget."
She looked over at him as her hand returned to her lap. "I like this plan. Beer, burger, and fries sounds amazing!"

“Perfect!” He exclaimed with happiness, his mood instantly changing as they drove into the driveway.
After a few moments, Oliver had mugs placed down in the living room table and plates to match. “Here!” He smiled before handing Krys her mug “Cheers to a better night, love.” He grinned “I’m glad you came out tonight, regardless of the drama that passed by. I just wanted to help get you aquatinted a bit.”

He laughed easily enough at Rose’s and her refusal to have him pay. He didn’t care it was fun and that meant at least getting the cover charge. He was a gentleman and that accorded certain behaviors be maintained. Which also meant he conduct himself in a way that was fitting of such a person as well. He would give her something though that would level the playing field.
“If you must then perhaps you can get the first drinks for us. A gentleman would never ask as it would be such a brash thing when accompanying woman out.”
He nearly didn’t laugh but did to show he wasn’t serious and her draw seemed to be the dance floor.
“What would you like to do first? Dance or get some drinks?”
