The wolf watched Killian leave, and then watched Xavier stand before he looked back to Aethel and offered a chuckle.
"No need. Killian is fully capable of defending himself. He likely would have caused a much bigger scene if the man hadn't let go. Thank you for looking after him." His gaze moved to the bar again, noting the interaction between the two.
He picked up the tablet and opened it, giving a hum.
"Since Killian will likely be.. pre-occupied for a moment, I can handle the wire transfer."
Killian watches Xavier move behind the bar and then set a small makeshift ice pouch. He can't help the slight smile before he pulls off his suit jacket. He holds it out to Xavier, expectantly. When it's taken, he undoes his cuff link, pocketing it and rolling his sleeve. Yup, definitely bruising. He moves the ice pouch onto the back of his wrist as he left it rest on the bar.
He sips at his fresh drink, eyeing Xavier for a moment before shaking his head.
"If your brother hadn't done anything.. I would have smashed my glass over his head." He looked away, twisting the drink.
"So.. I should apologize. I almost caused a scene at your event." Perhaps he shouldn't accompany Rowan to them anymore, but honestly.. everyone had left him alone except for that one Alpha. He's seen more eyes on him, but none bothered to approach when the Beowulfs were there..
