Xaviers!

Tereza parks the XU car in a public car park and hops out, glancing over at Isolde. "So what do you need that we can go look for?"

Posted: **Tue Sep 26, 2017 10:29 pm**

"I need a damn drink, but maybe it's too early for that."

Posted: **Tue Sep 26, 2017 10:59 pm**

"So long as you don't care about people looking at you funny and I don't know why you would," she laughs, "Rose and Crown it is then."

Posted: **Tue Sep 26, 2017 11:31 pm**

"I think you've found out by now how much drink it takes for one of us."

Posted: **Tue Sep 26, 2017 11:51 pm**

"Oh, I know. It's really frustrating. My go to used to be vodka, but it doesn't really serve it's purpose anymore."

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 12:00 am**

"Maybe you should try anyway," she chuckles. "Find out some things about yourself."

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 12:19 am**

"Buying a small vat of vodka could get expensive," she says as they head into the Crown. Tereza waves at the bartender and holds up two fingers as they approach the bar.

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 1:52 am**

"I more meant stronger stuff, but do what you like."

"Ah," she says as they enter. "I remember this place."

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 2:27 am**

"Best bar in town, or the friendliest to us at any rate," she says as the bartender sets two beers in front of them.

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 2:42 am**

"While I remember it, perhaps I should be grateful it doesn't remember me."

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 3:47 am**

"Eh. We had our disagreement outside, so they probably never saw you. Unless you're referring to something earlier," she asks, raising an eyebrow.

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 4:45 am**

"No, no, you were privy to most of my mayhem-making in Maldon," she smirks.

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 12:29 pm**

"It's a necessary question with you," she chuckles, taking a sip of her drink.

Out of the corner of her eye, Isolde thinks she sees a couple of guys watching them, but if she turns to look, they're having an animated conversation about the latest continental football scores.

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 6:41 pm**

"Friends with the regulars here?" She asks, sipping her beer.

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 7:10 pm**

"Usually. Used to tend bar here before," she holds up her hands, showing the slightly glowing veins.

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 8:24 pm**

"Why did you stop? I thought this was a friendly place."

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2017 10:17 pm**

"It is, but it was a thing. My appearance got a bit unsettling and it was easier just to take a job at the bar on campus. Then, about the time I was thinking about trying to come back, someone had to go and bite me and we're still working through that."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 12:13 am**

"I could say something pithy like 'life is never what we plan,' but I don't want to start a bar fight with you yet."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 1:04 am**

"Operative word being 'yet'," she chuckles. "Do I owe you a fight at this point?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 1:17 am**

"Do you?" She cocks her head.

"Besides, looking unusual is something I've been used to. When I was young, I was too tall. Some bad attention. Some good attention that led to bad attention."

"Then later, I was much too tall."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 1:30 am**

"And then you decided to start making your own attention. And I only think I owe you a fight if you insist on being alpha."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 2:22 am**

"There are only two of us."

"There are only two of us, right?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 2:44 am**

"I haven't bitten anyone, no, but there's a wolf shifter at the school that probably wouldn't mind being in a pack. Then there's various others that she," she taps her forehead, "considers 'pack'."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 7:10 pm**

"And you feel like you need to lead it."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 7:13 pm**

Tereza considers the statement-question for a long moment as she takes a thoughtful drink of her beer. "If you're looking for a simple answer, then yes. If you're looking for something more complicated, I feel responsible for it. That comes with a certain amount of leading, sure, but it's a more complicated feeling than that."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 7:17 pm**

"If it's a pack to you, that becomes complicated right away because not all of them are wolves."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 7:24 pm**

"Of course not. And they don't all quite understand 'wolf', but they all have a concept of 'pack', even if they don't call it that." She looks Isolde in the eye, her irises holding a significant amount of yellow, "And I think, for the you and me, 'pack' is more important than 'wolf'."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 8:52 pm**

"I'm trying to get you to be careful what you call it."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 10:51 pm**

"Are you objecting to me claiming it or the terminology?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 11:09 pm**

"They're not wolves. You are. You're setting a high bar for them."

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2017 11:12 pm**

"And you are underestimating them."

Posted: **Fri Sep 29, 2017 12:43 am**

"I'm judging by the way you talk about them. Do you want a pack or a flock?"

Posted: **Fri Sep 29, 2017 1:58 pm**

"They're not sheep," Tereza says, maybe a bit too defensively.

Posted: **Fri Sep 29, 2017 6:50 pm**

"Are they people to protect, or are they people who have your back?"

Posted: **Fri Sep 29, 2017 6:57 pm**

Tereza mulls that for a moment, "They're both, but I think you and I have different ideas of what 'protect' means. I tried 'protecting' my girlfriend, in the sense I think you mean it, and that wasn't the right way to go about it. They have my back and I have their backs. If I step up to defend them, it's not because I think they're fragile or need 'protection' as you put it, but because that's a part of what having their back means."

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2017 6:26 pm**

"You need to be certain of what they are to you, because whatever that is your wolf will magnify it."

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2017 6:35 pm**

"Trust me, I'm aware. I've had the argument with my girlfriend to prove it."

Posted: **Tue Oct 03, 2017 8:22 pm**

"Then maybe you're learning quicker than most."

Posted: **Tue Oct 03, 2017 9:08 pm**

"Let's not jinx me yet," she says with a chuckle. "So you thought about my offer?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Isolde caught one of the men from earlier making some sort of subtle gesture at them as if to indicate the two women to his companion.

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 7:31 pm**

"...you'd frown on it if I felt the need to break a man's jaw, wouldn't you?"

Xaviers!
