"Foood..."

Guunnar digs into a large plate of steak and eggs. Dmitri watches, astounded at the man's constitution. Ramji hooks out a chair and lowers himself slowly, eyes glued to the big man as he tucks the food away. His eyes meet Dmitri's and they begin to laugh.

"Vat?"

Dmitri points taps his mouth, miming brushing at a mustache. Guunnar frowns, brushing at his own.

"Vat? Sumtink still dere?"

Ramji hands the man a napkin. He laughs as Guunnar just stares at the paper.

"Guunnar... steak sauce." The Viking wipes his mouth as Ike puts a plate of fruit on the table. Dmitri shakes his head, asking Ike to bring him a coffee and one of Monty's beef pies. Ramji snags a roll and slowly tears it apart. Ike puts Dmitri's cup before him and slides Ramji a glass of juice. He smiles his thanks and sips it slowly, watching the door.

"It is too early for them."

Ike's words are a mere whisper as she moves past him. His eyes follow her as she makes her way back through the regulars. Monty greets her with a kiss and she tugs his hair affectionately. He looks back at the door.

"Ramji."

The Rider looks to the Viking.

"Du are getting lost, Little brother." Ramji frowns. "Until he does something to break their contract, there is notink ve can do t..."

"No, Guunnar, no."

Ramji glances at the shadows. watching for red eyes. "No Guunnar. You don't understand. I offer..." He stops, not sure exactly what he was going to say. "I offer somewhere to go if she chooses..."

Red eyes blink from the shadows. He waits, but moments later Keon steps into the room and joins them at the table. Disappointment shimmers and is quickly hidden.

"Ach, I see ye are feeling no pain, Guunnar."

He snags a plate and fills it with food. Ike brings him coffee and leans close to whisper in his ear. Keon's head comes up,eyes sad. "Tonight?" At Ike's nod, he sighs. "Does Twillon know?"

Ike shakes her head. "Twillon and Weebit just got back from her treatment. He took her upstairs to rest." She gathers empty dishes and heads back for the bar.

"Vat?"

"Torrent leaves tonight. Grace's apartment is cleared out and he is heading back to the Fae realm."
