Welcome! (Back?)

[Siobhan West]

Siobhan was up just as quickly as Aiden was at the sound of Moon King falling. What in the name of Diana had just happened? Being an officer, she doubted he was clumsy. Maybe the lithe man couldn’t hold his wine… Not that this was a strong bottle. Fine vintage, but nothing too heady. They’d need something stronger later, if the night wore on, at least.

                Ebony had beat Aiden and Siobhan to the Moon King. She sniffed about him as he pulled on tinted lenses and fumbled with his wallet.

                Shaky, but well. He is well. Eb sent through the Bond.

                I should hope so, Eb. What the hell happened?

                I do not know. He fell. Did you push him?

                What!?

                Aiden wouldn’t. I don’t know about this Sage. You might, though.

                I never-

                You have.

                Siobhan eyed the wolf and gave her a stern expression. Ebony said nothing more and paced to the back of the kitchen, prowling back and forth. She was getting restless again. Siobhan would have to let her roam the area if they didn’t leave here anytime soon. Wolves didn’t like being cooped up, but Ebony handled it well. She had to if she was going to follow Siobhan.

                Turning her attention back to the little Moon King, Siobhan put a hand on his shoulder and put on a soft expression. She spoke softly to the man, rubbing the spot where her hand lay.

                “You okay, kid? The wine’s not that bad.”

                “Honestly, Sio?” Aiden laughed.

                “What? I don’t see any other reason as to why he fell flat on his ass. C’mon, let me help you up.”

                Siobhan and Aiden both slipped an arm under Vitya and hoisted him to his feet, helping the shaking young man back on to his stool.

                “I should probably get a chair. I don’t trust the stool,” Aiden said worriedly.

                “S’ok. I got him,” Siobhan answered as she placed a steadying hand on Moon King’s back. Aiden began to hum to himself and went back to his place next to Sage. The sound of glass scraping across the ground startled Siobhan. She whipped her head around to see the broken glass being swept up into the garbage by unseen hands. The spilled wine seemed to ripple a few times, but nothing more. Aiden stopped humming and ran over to grab a kitchen towel.

                “Well, that’s just not fair. I want psychokinesis too!”

                “It’s not psychokinesis,” Aiden laughed as he dried the floor, “It’s just magic. I need the practice… Water doesn’t seem to wanna work for me…”

                Siobhan shook her head at that, turning back to her Moon King.

                “Speaking of water, do you want some, Vitya? Or maybe a pain pill? Or a joint? How’s your head? And your ass?”

                Siobhan flashed a wolfish grin at the Officer, giggling to herself.
