Jaxen completely flipped his attitude, even going so far as to apologize. It threw Aiden off almost instantly. He had been on edge since Jaxen opened his mouth, but it was hard not to be when you met someone new and they instantly threw an old scandal in your face, laughing heartily at it. No doubt there would be talk online about their meeting and the old stories would be circulated once more. He'd be seeing old pictures of Kyle and himself for the next month if he wasn't careful.
“Yes, well, perhaps I was a tad sensitive. We can trade barbs again later… I’m far too sober for all of that right now…” Aiden said as the tenseness began to fade from his body and mind. He finished what was left in his glass as Jaxen suggested they move the party elsewhere. Nox and Sage both thought it was a good idea, so Aiden had very little objection to the offer.
It was Sage’s turn to grow tense; it seemed the net was already going on about the night’s activities. That wouldn’t do at all. Pulling out his wallet, Aiden messaged his driver and asked him to pull the limo around; provided he hadn’t drunk too much.
“It's all right, babe, we'll go," Aiden said softly to Sage, "Should I be worried, Jaxen? You don’t have a banshee locked away at your place, do you?”
Cooper, Aiden’s driver, responded quickly and affirmed that he was quite all right to drive.
“My driver is out front. Stretch limo. We all pilling in? There should be a few bottles stocked in the back of it if anyone’s still thirsty… Lord knows I am.”
