Kane

"It's crazy. The whole situation is a bit mad." Kane sat down on the chair opposite her and wondered whether the evening would continue with people staring at him, the desire to give him either helpful advice or slap him for being a womanizer written on every single one of their faces. His looks had always made him enduringly popular with the girls, yet it seemed that said girls had now assembled here in the pub to see him suffer through the evening, as if they were fully aware of his heartbreak - which they probably were.
"Jesus Christ, my exes are here to haunt me, - I mean us." Kane motioned to a small group of girls in front of the bar, who were barely able to contain their laughter.

Keir

"Would you be interested in seeing the world outside?", he pressed on and took a small step forward, realizing a split second later that his move made him appear even taller and more daunting than he'd intended to.

"I know your safety is dear to your father, but surely he will not mind letting you have a look at your future home?" As he spoke to the princess, he reduced the distance between them, now standing mere inches in front of her.
"And I have a feeling that you might be curious yourself."

Kane

"A mudslide and a Carlsberg, please", Kane placed his order, whereupon the barrister seemingly conjured up two glasses behind the counter and filled them with, as Kane referred to it, the good stuff.
"Have you found who you're looking for?" The barrister didn't lift his head as he posed the question. His focus was still on Ashlyn's drink, but he didn't need to look Kane in the eyes. The latter was caught off guard nevertheless.
"What do you mean?" Kane uncomfortably shifted his weight from one foot to the other. He hadn't expected the goddamn barrister to inquire about his private life and he certainly hadn't asked for it.
"Ah, doesn't matter. Just wanted to make sure you're okay. Haven't seen you for a long time." Saying this, the barrister placed the two drinks in front of Kane and flashed him an amused smile. "Enjoy your time."
Still taken aback by his curiosity, Kane rummaged around in his pockets to find the proper coins for the drink, but the barrister interrupted his efforts - again.
"Don't worry mate. This one's on me. Just enjoy your time."
Before Kane could even reply or mutter a simple thank you, the barrister went on to serve another customer.

Still baffled, he returned to the table and handed the drink to Ashlyn.

Keir

"Yes, I understand your father's concerns, yet as much as he might be part of the wedding ceremony, in the end we are the only two involved in our marriage life", Keir replied with a wry smile.
Since Danielle held herself aloof, he was even more intrigued to uncover her true personality. Anyone could tell by her demeanor, that she didn't think highly of their forced alliance and Keir would be the last person to argue with her. After all, what did it mean to him? To spend a few decades of his life with a human princess in exchange for temporary peace. The eternal respect of the vampire world for his small sacrifice.
Danielle would pledge her undying allegiance to him until her final day on earth. At least he would make her life worth-while.

"Princess, have you ever set foot inside the Vampire castle?"

Kane

He followed her inside the pub, shaking his head in amusement. "You're cheecky today, but I like it." As they entered the building, loud music was blasting out his attempts to continue their conversations, which made him choose a quieter table on the other side of the room. "So, what kind of drink can I get you?" Even though Kane asked Ashlyn the question, his eyes were wandering around the room, looking for Joanna. What if she had chosen to go to a different pub today? She might even be out of town and he'd lay himself open to ridicule for no reason.
She'll be here sooner or later, don't worry. Everybody's seen our facebook update.

Kane

"Don't feel too proud, my dear. Who knows, maybe there'll be a police officer at the party whilst you brag about your achievement." Even though Kane was clearly joking, his eyes told the bitter truth: He did feel worried about her - feisty tendencies. Not because of someone like Clara, who he hadn't even been thinking about for ages, but for Ashlyn's own sake. He simply didn't want to see her getting into trouble.
As she lay around her arm around him and came closer, he smiled down at her petite figure. "I could almost get used to this."

Keir

"um, I am sitting, in case you did not notice your majesty." Keir ignored the comment, knowing that he might risk an argument by not responding to it, but at the same wanting to proceed with his current conversation. He simply acknowledged it with a nod, as he was terrible at making other people laugh about his jokes. Serious topics did consume most of his time talking to other people, therefore he preferred them over his unsuccessful attempts to be entertaining. Why else would you hire a court jester, if everybody had the natural skill of causing other people to cry out in tears simply because they could tell you an absurd thing or two about their lives?

"I'd like to get to know you. Everyday. Starting with this night and until our inevitable marriage." He paused again, this time waiting for her response.

Keir

He stifled dissent, as the human crown prince voiced his disapproval. This was not the time for a fight, not after both sides had been through. For the first time an eerie thought struck him. What if she was completely against the idea of marrying a prince and heir to the vampire throne? Sooner or later she could be the Queen of a foreign species. Certainly the sole concept frightened her more than him, who had been prepared for this moment all his life.

"Your highness, I suppose now would be the perfect time for me to introduce myself, but although we're strangers, we are not strange to each other. My mother has spoken highly of you and I can only hope for you to reciprocate those feelings. I am glad that we are now standing here to speak about our future." Keir paused for her to digest his words, before he continued: "We didn't have a say in this matter, however, I will not stand idly by whilst everyone else is monitoring our daily lives. That is why I am here to talk to you about - us."

"Almost? I think you actually DID break her nose", Kane replied without batting an eye. Yes, she could over-exaggerate sometimes, but more often than not she expressed her opinion without breaking somebody else's bones. Thinking back, he had to admit that she must've genuinely disliked Cara, who had treated Ashlyn like a piece of shit. And as Ashlyn wouldn't just swallow her pride, she acted on her feelings.
"At least she has never reported you to the police. Sometimes I wonder if she was fully aware of her manipulative character." Kane knew that he hadn't realized it until later.

Kane

He joined in her cheerful laughing and gently squeezed her hand. "I've always admired your stress-free American ways, you know? All you seem to do is laugh and be happy", he said as they strode along the street, following another group of pub goers, who unsuccessfully tried to hide their wine bottles underneath their clothes while singing "Stayin alive" by Bee Gees. Two of the girls caught sight of them, but didn't seem concerned with what they saw and continued their conversation straight away. We might not actually feel it, but we do look like a normal couple after all.
