[IC] Handie's Bar

[Thorned Hammer]

Ethelsen glanced over at the rather noisy group around the bar, then back to Roy with a shake if her head. "No. I'm new to all of this here,". She admitted.

" I'll try my hardest to". Barrett said with a dramatic sigh, winking at Laura to let her know he was just teasing.

[Redthorn Anvil]

With the gracious help of Charlie, Keenan now wore a thigh-length black sheath dress and a pair of flats. She also now wore a bit of makeup, and they managed to actually tame her hair for once. As she came downstairs, she was looking a bit timid. Not once in her life had she ever dressed up. Let alone worn anything shorter than a pair of pants.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Hey dude, that's your girlfriend." Whispered Barrett to a shocked looking Scout. Needing no further encouragement, or reminder, Scout straightened up and walked up to Keenan.

[Redthorn Anvil]

"Not gonna lie, Scout. This feels really weird." She said sheepishly, looking over herself as though she'd just traded bodies with someone else.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Don't, you look great." Scout said quietly as he approached her, wrapping her up in his arms and kissing her deeply. It meant a lot to him that she had gone and done this, he knew how uncomfortable it made her.

[Redthorn Anvil]

She smiled into the kiss and slid her arms around his waist. After a moment she grinned at him. "Well, if this is what I get for it, then I may just have to dress nice all the time." She replied.

[Thorned Hammer]

"I wouldn't complain if you did" He said with a smirk against her cheek, "You look good in 'em. Just don't try to ride a streak like this huh?"

[Redthorn Anvil]

"Oh, you probably wouldn't mind that either, as long as you had your rear-view mirror aimed on me." She joked with a laugh.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Screw that, I'd be right behind you on your-"

"Okay! That's enough of that. Take it in a room if you're gonna get all gross". Barrett cut in

[Redthorn Anvil]

Keenan burst out laughing at that. "Goodness, James!" She exclaimed, turning a light shade of pink.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Goodness? Really?". Chuckled Scout, grinning evily over her head at Barrett.

[Redthorn Anvil]

She continued to laugh into his shirt.

Lucien, meanwhile, was highly amused by the whole scene, though he kept that fact to himself.

"You are a very bad man!" Keenan exclaimed eventually, unable to keep an amused grin off her face as she continued to blush.

[Thorned Hammer]

"What we're all adults here!". Laughed Scout, before hoisting Keenan up and over one shoulder and making for the stairs.

[Redthorn Anvil]

"Bye, Barrett!" Keenan called, laughing as she was thrown over his shoulder and waving at him.

[Thorned Hammer]

Barrett just rolled his eyes before pointing a menacing finger at Scout's back. "You owe me a bar brawl! And at least three shots!"
"Talk to my complaint department Bar I'm sure you remember where that is!". Scout called back as he took the stairs two at a time.
" ugh, she's just a bad influence on him.". Muttered Barrett as a sneaky smile tugged at his lips.

[Redthorn Anvil]

Meanwhile, Keenan took an interest in Scout's shirt as he carried her back up the stairs, and she busied herself by taking the liberty of untucking the back of it.

[Thorned Hammer]

"What are you doing back there?". Scout asked suspiciously, finding an unoccupied room for them.

[Redthorn Anvil]

"Stuff." She replied unhelpfully. She smirked.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Sure, stuff" he snorted, before dumping her on the bed in the center if the room.

[Redthorn Anvil]

She made a surprised squeak as she was casually tossed onto the bed. She frowned. "But I had such a great view of your ass!" She then grinned at him playfully.
