The Broken Bottle Pub

[Harmony Chadwick]

Harmony noticed Madoc's grin. She waited a few seconds before saying "Ok. Please could you give me a guided tour of Edgehaven one day." She noticed he was trying to distract her form the other Were.

She also sussed Dillon was looking for attention the way he was rambling on. She let out a little giggle at the whole Swordmaster thing he was trying to get to catch on. She tried to keep a straight face when he told everyone not to laugh, but that just made it even harder so she covered her mouth with her hand to try and disguise her reaction.

[Madoc Wythers]

Madoc raised his eyebrows at Austins words in a gesture that meant 'if you say so', and glanced breifly at the two men behind him. The older one was looking at Zack as though he knew him, and when Madoc glanced at Zack, he was doing the same. He shrugged it off and went back to his pint. It was nothing to do with him.

He grinned wickedly at Dillon - he had been wondering when 'Swordmaster' was going to turn up in the conversation again. He looked up at Zack, who was now perched on the bar. "Yea, that's a fair point..." he mused. Then he laughed at the thought of Felix telling off Moe. "Yea, I'd take that bet." He replied, grinning. "And I bet it's a fairly nasty temper at the moment an' all."

He tilted his head to look at Harmony - he'd sort of lost interest in her again until she spoke. "Any time you like, darlin'." He replied with another wolfish grin, putting on his best 'Cheesy American' accent.

[Felix Dolohov]

"I'm fairly sure I take offence at that Wythers." The afore mentioned blonde stated coolly as he returned from the living area, rubbing his jaw as the faint red mark began to blossom into a rich purple, he unfortunately did not have the accellerated healing that other Vampires possessed unless he was facing serious injury. Small things healed at a normal rate.

The blonde gave Zack a Look, "Get your butt off the bar, I cleaned that earlier." He stated grumpily, reaching into one of the ice-tubs and withdrawing a large chunk to stick in his mouth.

Moe may have looked old and useless but he was Edgehaven born and bred, meaning the old bastard had muscle and a mean right-hook. He hadn't taken too kindly to Felix telling him that he was acting like a six-year-old who'd had his favourite toy taken away from him and broken. Hence the bruising on his jaw - to be fair, Felix had been asking for the punch and he fully accepted that.

[Harmony Chadwick]

Harmony couldn't help but giggle at the cheesy American accent. And darlin?... She assumed this was Madoc's way of flirting. She decided to humour him by saying "Are you sure you've been in Edgehaven all your life darlin? You have a slight American tinge to you're accent every so often." She smiled and waited for his reaction.

She saw Felix's jaw was bruised and turned to say "You ok?" She didn't want to say too much because she didn't know how he would react.

She looked over to Austin again. She couldn't help it. Other than her own family she hadn't been within close range of another Lycan for this length of time. She didn't really go to pubs that much so she didn't have the experience of mixed species grouped together like this. She didn't want to look like she was staring at him so she moved her attention back to Felix. "Could I have another drink if you're ok please?" She didn't want to seem as if she didn't care about what just happened so she showed concern and sympathy in her tone of voice.

[Felix Dolohov]

Felix nodded, "Sure, same again?" He asked collecting her dirty glass and setting it in the washing machine before bringing out a fresh one.

[Zackary Kalen]

Zack twisted slightly to look at Felix as the blond reappeared, before raising one eyebow at the bruise he was now sporting on his chin. Ignoring the other vampire's request for him to kindly get his ass of the bar and back onto a stool, he reached out and snagged the younger man's jaw with his free hand. He was, however, careful not to grab the bruise itself or dislodge the ice Felix had just popped in his mouth.

He tilted Felix's head, squinting at the bruise with a mild look of sympathy, before releasing his grip and sliding off the bar into his seat.

"I take it the old man has a mean punch then," he stated, rather than asked. The evidence, after all, was pretty clear. "After 48 hours, I recommend a warm washcloth, rather than an ice cube," he added, before turning to look at Madoc,

"So did we make that bet official, or not?" he asked, with a small smirk.

[Felix Dolohov]

The bartender flinched when the other grabbed his chin, almost dropping the glass in his hand out of surprise before a blonde eyebrow moved towards his hairline in irritation, he decided not to repeat himself about getting his ass off the bar, if the lummox didn't shift when Felix was going to shove him off. Paying customer or not.

He took a small step back as he was released, sucking absently on the ice with a slight frown, "Warm wash cloth, that's a new one." He muttered before scowling at the mention of the bet. He didn't ask.

[Zackary Kalen]

Zack shrugged, taking a sip of the drink Felix had left before the commotion with Moe,

"Helps reduce the colour of the bruise," he explained, "Normally, I doubt you'd care about a bruise unless it starts going seriously weird colours, but as it's on your jaw," he took another sip of his drink before setting it down, "I'm guessing you'd rather not have everyone staring at your jaw with a nice expression of awe and wonder at the purple bruise there, until it fades and goes away on its own."

[Austin]

Austin smiled
"thanks"
he said to the barkeeper, picking up his whiskey and inspecting it with his eyes and nose before taking a sip

He had noted the attention the other lycan had been paying him but had decided to play the waiting game and see what time would bring. He could sense her uncertainty and something else, but he couldn't quite place it.

[Harmony Chadwick]

"Um... yeah go on then please?" She smiled and was glad he was ok.

She thought a fight was gonna break out when Zack grabbed Felix's jaw but realised when words were exchanged he was merely giving advice.

She thought she attracted the attention of the other were but wasn't sure.

[Madoc Wythers]

"Ah, you know I don't mean it, Felix." Madoc replied. The bruise on the Day Walker's chin looked fairly nasty, and he'd known Moe long enough to know about his right hook. And he may not have known Felix long, but he'd worked out that now would be a good time not to say very much.

He looked at Harmony again instead. "That's a vicious slur! The only person in this pub more Edgehaven than me is Moe." He said, genuinly indignant. Clearly his 'I'm a charming guy who references old American films' approach wasn't working. And the way she kept glancing at Austin was really putting him off. He was rapidly losing interest in Harmony altogether, and as if to prove it, he went back to talking to Zack, who had just seized Felix's jaw. He laughed.

"Yea, Moe's got a mean fist on him." He told him with a grin. "And we decidely did not." He shot a quick glance over his shoulder to see how Austin was reacting to Harmony's attention, and then turned back. He reached for the rest of his pint again, slightly disgusted at the way his 'quiet drink' had turned out.

[Felix Dolohov]

Felix huffed softly, "I will not ask and simply say that if you were betting on me, don't. Unless you're going to tell me the odds and split it 50/50." He added, smirking slightly before wincing at the pull on his bruise. That was going to turn into a pain in the backside very quickly he decided as he presented Miss Chadwick with another pint of Guinness - as she had not asked for anything different he assumed she was alright with the same again - before making a note on the pad of paper saying that her tab had gone down again. She still had over £10 left though so she was good for a while longer.

"You wouldn't think it to look at the old bastard but he's got some muscle on him." The blonde admitted sourly before moving away to serve some of the regulars at the other end of the bar.

[Dillon Rickman]

Dillon felt ignored. Austin had apparently decided he wasn't worth the time of day to respond to his supervillain job application. Typical. Maybe he should write out his CV, Dillon pondered? But then there was always that awkward year out he took when he didn't really do anything evil, and it quite hard in job interviews to sell yourself as a super villain when you had taken a year out...

He then remembered that he didn't actually have a CV for being a supervillain and was just making it up in his head. Well, dammit, when he was so bored he was annoying himself it was time to get talking again.

"So, what, do I need a big black coat too?" He asked, somewhat irritated at being ignored. "Maybe a neato hat? Y'know, I always respected a good hat. Shows dedication to the cool look. Or that you just have a really embaressing hairstyle." He had to admit that was a distinct possibility. Especially the way Austin had long hair poking out under his hat.

"Though, no offence, but Indiana Jones did it better." He added.

[Felix Dolohov]

Felix gave the Slayer a look of bemused irritation, "You're still going for that Super-Villain idea of yours?" He asked, eyebrow moving back towards his hairline - it seemed to be making itself some friends up there as well. "Didn't we manage to talk you out of that earlier?"

[Harmony Chadwick]

((you we're right bout the Guinness I did say yeah go on then ))

She took the pint from Felix and said "Thanks mate." She then blushed slightly as she realised she sounded quite manly.

Harmony guessed that by Madoc's reaction he didn't realise she was joking. "I believe you when you say you're born and bred in Edgehaven. I was complimenting your American accent." She smiled. She could see he was losing interest in her so she thought of something to try and pull him back into the conversation. "So if Moe's born and bred and so are you, are you a good fighter as well? I bet you are." She smiled and then tried to think of a compliment to add to it. "You must be quite strong and muscular." She thought, well hoped that if she tried to compliment him it might boost his ego and she'd get his interest again. She liked flirting with him and she thought he was flirting back when he was showing interest.

"A new name might help." She jested. "I can't see why you don't just use Dillon. Its a good name" She said genuinely.
