Just in time...
Ob and Pandora return just in time to see both K'thyri and Jack go down. Laughing Ob offers them his hands.
"Gonna get up, or lay there and pass out?" He glances at Guunnar. "Like someone else has."
Ky snickers. "E went down reeeeal slow."
Ob helps Jack up, then helps Ky, who wobbles a bit. Once they are on their feet, he gets drinks for himself and his wife. As he turns, Miko stops him and points at two Fae, standing not far away. They nod and disappear into the crowd. Keon watches until they are gone. He looks at Ob.
"They are Fae. What are ye up to?"
Ob grins. "They brought something I bought for Chloe. Miko said he has them in a room at the Tavern." His eyes light on Star and Laila. Immediately he scans the crowd for the vampire.
"He is gone. Told her to be back before it is time to lock up for the day. Ramji doesn't like it. I don't think Erik trusts it either."
Ramji sips his mug, watching the crowd. His eyes meet Laila's and he holds them for just a few heartbeats, then lowers his gaze.
Dmitri grins. "One would think you are either ashamed or suddenly shy." When Ramji says nothing he looks directly at his friend. "What's wrong Ramji?"
The Croatian Rider's dark eyes wander back to where Erik guards his wife and her new friend. Laila is petite, compact with definitive curves. Her curls bounce as she laughs and a small smile twitches his lips. "Nothing, old friend. As long as I keep my distance." He taps his tattoos, making a wry face.
Dmitri laughs, drawing eyes. "Then how do you expect to woo the wench?"
He looks around, checking for the vampire. "She belongs to another. As such, I can not expect her to be... never mind. I will just try not to scare her anymore." He watches her as she laughs with Star. "I have to remember her duties and respect her status."
Dmitri grins. "She really isn't that bad looking. Not bad at all, for a woman."
