“Seriously?” Hope questioned as she looked to August, “I’m not in the mood for betting today.”
He quirked an eyebrow at his older sister’s reaction; you didn’t need to be a psychic to know that the woman was in a mood. ❝ Someone’s a little cranky, ❞ he commented while he sipped on his drink. ❝ What got you ready for blood, anyway? ❞

“HOLD THAT THOUGHT. This is important territory.” Lizzie turned around raising an eyebrow at her company. In her hands she was holding two shirt options to wear for the Friday night. Feeling out of control mentally and with her magic getting worse, at least the one thing she could control in this world was her outfit. It was a welcomed distraction. “Which one, the blue or the red? I think the blue really makes my eyes pop, but the red goes spectacularly with the heels I’m planning to wear.”

He was being tortured and he didn’t even know what he could have done to deserve that. August released a long suffering sigh before focusing on the girl and the clothes she was holding. ❝ If I pick one will you release me from this nightmare? ❞ He questioned dramatically. Truth be told, he was less bothered by the whole thing than he was showing. ❝ Red. Can never go wrong with red. ❞

“Perhaps, but it’s fun to expect the unexpected.” He chuckled at his sons request. “Now what kind of father would I be if I offered my underaged son not one, but two rounds of bourbon? I could lose my liquor license!” He put a hand to his chest to look mock offended.
The words cause no surprised, he had the same belief; one of the many things in him that people liked to say reminded them of his father. ❝ A responsible father who makes sure his son drinks under his supervision, ❞ he replied without missing a beat, cheeky grin matching his tone. August chuckled at his father’s dramatics. ❝ No, not the liquor license. What a tragedy it would be. ❞

Cocking her head to the side, Alaska chugged back the rest of her drink before looking toward the couple, “I’d put fifty bucks on that she would. Guy looks like a fuckin’ idiot.”
August’s attention peaked at the words, always a pleasure to see someone willing to join in his games. ❝ We can’t both win, what would be the fun in that? — I must agree, though, dude’s an idiot. ❞

Kai has a bit too much to drink as he leaned forwards on the bar looking over toward the couple in the far corner. “I’ll take on that bet. She’ll end up leaving with him tonight.”
August pondered the words for only a couple of seconds before shrugging. ❝ Guess we’ll know how low a self-esteem can go and the power of daddy issues. ❞ He picked his drink and raised the glass, sealing the bet.

Elijah was seated in his library, one leg crossed over the other as he flipped a yellowing page in the book he was reading. One elbow was propped on the arm of the chair, his index finger gently pressed to his upper lip. The Original turned his head when he heard a knock at the door, waiting a beat, wondering if someone else would answer it. When the knock came again he sighed and closed his book, standing and walking over to it. He opened it, “Can I help you?”

“What? Can’t a nephew stop by to visit his beloved uncle?” He questioned in place of an answer, a cheeky grin on his features. “But okay, I was actually wondering if you had any family grimoires laying around that I could borrow. You know, for research and general betterment.”

Ever since Fiona’s vampire gene was first triggered, she hasn’t been able to control her vampirism around blood. No matter how hard she tried, she always turned into her own worst enemy around blood, her sharp fangs forming at the slightest scent of blood. As she tried her best to control herself before she caused a scene in the town square, she held onto her forehead to try and get rid of the incoming headache that had come along with it. “I’m fine.” She reassured the first person that had offered their help, not wanting anyone else’s help with something she knew she had to learn how to do herself. “Can you just give me some space please?” She asked as she could slowly feel herself losing her humanity. @newbornfallsstarter
As soon as green hues focused on the red head, August knew there was something wrong with his cousin. A frown appeared as the young man made his way to the other. ❝ I’m having a hard time believing that one, ❞ he quipped at the blatant lie. He did take a couple steps back, arms raised in mock surrender, but still stayed close enough to talk to the girl. ❝ What’s wrong. ❞

Harmony didn’t make it a habit to serve minors - for obvious reasons - but, well. It was her brother, and their father’s bar. That was an exception she was willing to make, and as it was, his commentary was better than the conversation she’d be getting on the other end of the bar. She leaned against the counter, letting her eyes wander into the direction of his words, “yeah, I’ll take that action.” She agreed with an easy grin, taking in just how heated the conversation seemed to be turning. “Maybe she’ll even throw in a slap if he says something douchey enough.”
His sister’s reply only made the teen’s smirk grow larger, blue eyes shinning with unbridled mischief. There was a reason why he constantly found himself bothering his sister at Rousseu’s when he had nothing better to do; Harmony always made for good company. ❝ Now, you just made me want it to happen, H, ❞ he complained playfully. And maybe he could get to what he wanted as now the woman was getting up. ❝ But first go for the glass, ❞ he said, even if the stranger couldn’t hear him. He wanted that money.

Klaus chuckled at his son and glanced up at the couple from his place behind the bar. “I’ll match your $20 and raise you $20 that they turn the tables on us and he throws his at her.”
Of course, his father wouldn’t disappoint. August smirked and stole another glance at the couple that had just turned into the most interesting thing in the bar. ❝ Seems to me like you’re going to be a few dollars poorer, old man. ❞ Yes, he liked his odds. ❝ But while we wait — another bourbon? ❞

“So, there’s there.. their.. and they’re… also affect and effect…” He sipped his coffee, a small smile on his face, “Everyone says that Japanese and Arabic are super hard to learn… I can only imagine people trying to learn the differences between there… their… and–” He paused for a moment, a bit of confusion in his voice, “… there.”

August could have stopped the other sooner — should have, really —, but chose to keep listening just to see where this was going. ❝ Please, tell me you’re not using some basic grammar to try to prove English is harder to learn. Those don’t even sound alike or have similar meanings, ❞ he shook his head. Yes, he should have stopped the nonsense earlier. ❝ English doesn’t even compare to Romance languages and all their verb tenses, ❞ he finished with an eye roll. ❝ Then again, most Americans can’t even work their own language out, as proven. ❞
