Milo waited until Paige took his hand to get up, she was a bit drunk it seemed, and he was no stranger to lugging her inebriated self around, so when she finally managed to stand and stumbled into him a little he caught her around the waist to keep her on her feet, only to realize she was taking his coat from under his arm, He chuckled a bit before he felt himself drawn in a bit, Paige didn't really smile a ton, but it was infectious when she did, that coupled with the scent of her perfume and the slightly compromising position they were standing in having her pressed against him with his arm around her waist, he hadn't really thought about it much until now, but the two of them were essentially on a date, and oddly enough, he didn't care. "Not even a mans coat is sacred, huh?" Milo chuckled as she wormed her way into the coat fully.

With his coat now fully purloined, Paige stood a little straighter and Milo let his grasp around her waist go, only to have her loop her arm through his to steady herself again. King Aragon, she knew that would push his buttons, even when she is drunk her wit never dulls, "If I am Aragorn, does that make you Arwen or Eowyn? Maybe Gimli?" He grinned not expecting an answer knowing she hadn't seen any of the movies, yet taking a bit of pleasure in her probably not knowing that one of the names was a hairy dwarf. The two of them walked out of the restaurant and started to head towards a nearby building, the chill in the air bit through his shirt, the towering building housed many things but from his understanding, a nice lounge was at the top floor of it, one where they could either chill out and let the sake wear off, or continue the drunken evening. Milo couldn't help but look down, it was weird, he and Paige got along before, but this was starting to feel different, Milo just let that thought go though, no need to muddy a nice evening. Milo led her to the lobby where the Lounge was, some place called Skylight, He looked over to her, still keeping her arm in his letting her lean on him, "I heard this place is nice if you want to keep going, at least they probably have more to do than a sushi bar." He smirked a little as he spoke.

Jenramo Ventri

Jenramo took his place quickly at the front of the group, closing the defense as Allant and Alm ran by, he held his darkened blade up and set his stance lower to the ground, both of his hands held tight to the handle as he began to hear the others forming up. Yui had posted up, Jenramo tried to keep a gap where she could get a shot by if she got one, he looked back as Pox and Gwen also returned, "Pox! Gwen! Prioritize your healing and antivenin to the others, do not waste it on me." Jenramo found himself glad for the blade and its power, he never had to rely on the healing magics of these mages, only the power of his own tenacity.

The sound of the advancing foes was becoming louder, and it only drove into Jenramo's mind the fury he felt for what they and the monsters like them had done, whatever beast they were he would slay them all the same. He thought he heard a snap, but he wasn't sure of it until a stinging pain shot through his arm, he looked down only to see an arrow stuck within his arm, the toxin already invading his system, At least if it hits me, they aren't hitting the rest. he thought to himself as he pulled the arrow and set himself ready to attack at the word from Jing.

Milo was still happily smiling as they chit chatted, how ever when Paige seemed to become restless he wondered what the matter was. She wanted to go and do something else, it was and understandable request, the restaurant was nice but the asian feel and the lack of anything other than raw fish and sake was a bit underwhelming. Milo thought a moment and remembered that there was a lounge a couple floors up in this downtown highrise, they could go up there, relax in nicer chairs with better drinks and usually those have better music too, Milo preferred most things to the sound of whatever those japanese string instruments were.

"Well, if you want, I think there is a lounge upstairs, probably can get a better drink or at least wait off some of these in a more relaxing space." Milo shrugged, the waiter brought around the bill and Milo threw a couple bills on the table and the waiter just walked away, seemingly happy with the tip Milo left, money seemed less important today, maybe it was the drinks, who knew. Milo stood and grabbed his coat, he held the other hand out to Paige, "Shall we?" He gave a little bit of a smirk.

@Athol
Precisely, it makes it very hard to talk about religion and not be called a neo nazi

Milo listened to Paige as she talked about how she does what she does, she was showing the signs of that wear she mentioned, as she spoke, the job suited her and she was good at it but there had to always be a balance to it, if you just work a stressful job until you croak, whether you loved it or not you still croak. "Honestly I admire that, I chose a job that I am passionate about as well, but it is one that lets me channel emotion and creativity in a safer manner, as much as I love excitement I couldn't hold it together doing what you do everyday." Milo smiled as he spoke, "I guess that's why we're here, I didn't stick to my guns til you came through, here or in Delta, I guess whether or not either of us are happy about it, it is a good thing we are here. Just hope I can return the favor somehow." Milo really was grateful, no matter the bad blood he and Paige had held, in this moment she was the best friend he could ask for, she literally put her life on the line helping him, it would be something he would repay.

Milo was feeling the alcohol hit his system, and the only thing that he could think on at that moment was how he would get his car home, though that may be a task for tomorrow. Milo was smiling still just a small contented smile, he had always been able to make a good time out of nothing, a moment in the storm where he could relax, and he did his best in order to make that happen here, at least for the sake of his overly stressed out police friend. Only time would tell whether or not it did any good for her to hang out with this old vagabond but he enjoyed himself, and if that is the best he gets, that's still not bad.

Jenramo Ventri

Jenramo looked about the temple, his greatsword in hand, the carnage in the room was evident and as they moved through the stench was horrid. He look about the scene as Jing called out to them, instructing them to search for clues, there were clues splattered across the walls and floors, pinned to rocks, dismembered and torn, clearly the work of a more intelligent monster, one with the use of tools. Jenramo went over to the man pinned down by arrows, much could be told by the crafts of another. The arrow pulled easily from the corpse, the weapon was crude, almost ancient looking. "Jing, this is not as simple as scorpions I'm afraid, foes that use tools are capable of quite a bit."

Jenramo looked about the tomb trying to see more clues as to what foe they were facing, though the mess was quite extensive and the cleared space from the expedition left him with little to notice. He walked back to his commander and said, "Honestly Jing, this looks like a savage force, splitting up may only lead to an ambush, we are in their territory, best to be defensive." Jenramo was a skilled warrior, one who has been in the military life for many years, though men and monsters were not the same and often need to be handled differently.
