Exton

From across the room Ike's eyes meet Ob's. She hadn't heard the conversation, but she did pick up the flash of jealousy, and the subsequent self rejection. She resolves to talk to Rowan. Her sister always had a small dissatisfaction with her lean body, but not like this.

Monty catches her gaze, His expression asks his question for him.

"Tori is not her usual self. We can all feel Tannr's love for her. It... If she can't feel it, I think I need to slap some gravel out of her brains."

Ike's eyes spark with the fire of her emotions. Monty nods, sliding a drink to a patron. His hand covers hers. "*Novio...Your sister was held against her will, tortured by a maniac, and now... I can understand, Remember my love. I was in a child's form for more years than I care to count." He gives her a cocky grin. "You saw beyond that. It is why I now walk in this age." He nods towards the family group. Tannr still held Tori close. "He will get through to her. Have faith. She'll find herself again."

A strikingly beautiful female walks past the table. Tanner never even notices. Monty smirks. "And that, my granite sex kitten, will help even more."

Another singer takes the stage as Byte and his band begin to set up. The soundman looks up as a waitress brings over their customary pre-gig beers. he gives Ike and Monty a thumbs up and turns back to plugging in amps. By the time Byte leans against the bar, another singer is behind the mike. Unfortunately This one is destroying the song.

"Karaoke... I think he needs another drink." The shifter groans as the song ends. Ike laughs. "Sorry mate. He hasn't been drinking."

The were shakes his head. "Well damn... send him something... QUICK!"
