A Friendly Drink [Open]

[Deleted]

Zero sat there and watched the drunk man next to him, he looked completely out of it, what had this dude been drinking?!? He was begginning to hope this werent a dodgy kind of bar, if it was he would be gone.

Calming his nerves down a little, he could finally lift his head up to look at evryone properly except it wasnt long until the red haired women spoke again, but it only made his cheeks go a bit pink, he wouldnt stay embarrassed for too long he made sure of it.

"Seventh Heaven? what an odd name for a bar" he mused watching as she brought the drinks, she seemed nice but a little bit flirty, what joy.

She then asked him why he was here, he had a few reasons but only one main. "I'm looking for a girl" he said calmly before realising what he said could probably be put out of context, the blush was back "I I mean, a friend! uh! not a girlfriend, but... uhm ahh... crap!" he groaned taking his drink and downing it all in one gulp hopefully it would calm him.

He took a deep breath then explained himself clearly. "Who Im looking for is a girl, shes an old friend of mine and i was wondering if anyone has seen her" he said politely, he had a picture from a few years ago though it probably wouldnt be enough he still showed the bar woman.

The was a young dark haired boy sitting under a tree with a brown haired girl hugging him from behind she had silver streaks in her hair and a strange birthmark on her face, Zero could be seen blushing in the picture as the girl just smiled. "Thats her, her names Kyrie, i kinda miss her..and it has been a long time" he was now blushing again as he spoke "do you know where i could find her?"

The womans green eyes watched the raven haired man carefully.

"Seventh Heaven is the name given by the owner of the bar. Originally this bar was located in the slums of Midgar before the city was attacked, where everything was dirty and grey. It was supposed to be a place for a breather, with comfort and friends. Really, a seventh heaven in that time." She said carefully, a small smile on her lips.

She found it almost cute how he fell over his words, this man had a way of setting himself up. Her eyes sharpened though, like a hawk the moment he showed the picture. That hair she'd recognize immediately, even if it did lack the characteristic stone she had. The face was the same, even if it was younger.

"I know of her, what is your business with her..?" She said carefully. If this guy wasn't to be trusted she was in no way going to lead him to an orphanage filled with children.

When he had heard the mention of the name, Leon put down his drink softly. He looked carefully at Sisi, seeing the hard edge in her eyes at the mention of the girl. Leon had heard stories about the girl, only random things about her. But, he had seen her once before, on his travels through the area. She apparently was the care taker of children at an orphanage, a motherly figure to the many children that resided in the place. He had also heard that she was an experienced fighter, but Leon had never seen her in action, so he did not know if those tales were true or not.

"So... Who's the little lady? A 'friend' yours? Or something more?" Leon said, a playing smile on his lips. He threw Sisi a glance, one that obviously would tell her that Leon had the same sense of caution around the topic that she held. "Oh and mind you, boy... Stop with those damned looks, will you? I'm not drunk." Leon said, placing a hand on the hilt of his gunblade. It wasn't uncommon for people to carry weapons, just they couldn't openly weild them in public, or within city districts. But, if the boy had any sense about him, he would be able to pick up on Leon's message.

"Like the lady asked, whats your business with her?" Leon asked, removing his hand from the hilt of his sword and replacing it around the glass of brandy in front of him. "I'm just curious, is all." He said, then took a drink of his liquor. Nothing to get riled over, unless the boy wanted to make something, then Leon was fully prepared to defend himself and Sisi if need be. Hell, he'd even protect the bar when it came down to it.

Zero looked back at the photo when a smile spread on his lips, he could see how happy they were in the picture, but theyd just be friends that was all. A sigh escaped him when he looked at the bartender. When he was going to answer her, the brunette started and put his hand on his weapon.

His eyes widened. What the hell was wrong with this guy!?!?!? Was he paranoid?!? And why was he trying to start a fight!?! He had not even looked at him so what was his problem!?!

"S-Sir you confuse me, i wasnt looking at you but the man sitting next to y-you, you dont need to be so defensive" he stuttered with sudden nerve, he didnt know this man so who did he think he was to just threaten him like that? He hadnt looked at him at all!!

Zero sivered as he finally gave the man a look, one that said 'youre weird' he did seem it, especially if he thought Zero was staring at him, he should pay more attention.

"Uhh......" he looked nervously at the picture then explained to them "well shes a childhood friend kinda the only friend i ever had to be honest, uhm eversince her dad died i promised to protect her, we went into SOLDIER together as teenagers but i got told her friend died in action and she ran away......i havent heard from her since now......im really worried about her...."

Zero felt really uncomfortable around these people now, what was their game? they were treating him like an outcast....surely they were too so why was he being singled out?? No they werent being helpful to him by staring at him the way they were, he hated it, it was almost depressing.

"Fine whatever.....if you dont want to help then fine, i'll just look for her myself..." he muttered taking his wallet and heading to the door where rain still poured heavily, he didnt want to be in a place where people looked at him like they did....even though he knew leaving wouldnt help him find Kyrie.

Sisi looked at the man calmly, perhaps a bit too calm. She ticket up a dishtowel and slowly started rubbing some glasses dry as her vision met Leon's a few times as the man rambled on, a silent conversation going on before she cast her green eyes on the raven haired again. She opened her mouth just before the man would have left the entrance of the pub.

"Kyrie is in a position where she is responsible for many innocents, sure you can understand that we're not just going to tell any stranger of her location because of that. She is SOLDIER trained, but one can never be too careful. "

She looked at the man one last time before she reached into her pants and pulled out a slim phone, sliding her hand over the touch pad she decided to be safe and call the woman in question. Yet when it started ringing she held the phone out to the raven haired man. She could suffer the loss of her phone if he ran off, but not the loss of any of those children if this came out to be a lunatic.

"It's ringing, I'd take it if you really want to talk to her." She said slowly, holding the phone out for him to take.


[[Depending on Zero taking it or not, you post here in reply Kyrie?]]

Leon eyed the youth. Still as green as they come, Leon thought to himself. The silent conversation between Sisilaya and himself had generally been over the concern for Kyrie's safty as well as that of the childrens. The loss of Kyrie to them would be devistating, the mental and spiritual effects would strike them so badly that it might ruin their futures. Leon eyed the boy as he got up and walked away, heading towards the door.

Turning his attention to Sisi, however, Leon watched with a anticipation in his gaze as she pulled out a phone and diled a number. So, she was going to let him have the chance to talk to Kyrie. Depending on his reaction, Leon would know then if he was indeed trustworthy, or if he was a threat to the children and Kyrie. Leon had never met her, but he knew about the orphanage that she watched over. A matron was an important things to kids, especially one who they adore. Leon would step up to the defense of Kyrie if the need arrived, but until then, he would be a bystandard.

Leon tipped the remaining contents of his glass past his lips and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Then, hunching over, Leon kept a silent watch over the entire ordeal. He was ready for anything, ready to snap his hand to his gunblade's hilt and draw it, as well as to cast any meaning of spell to protect himself and the others in the bar. One could never be too sure.

Yo zero. Sorry about the last post mate. Thought that you were talking about Leon. I didn't read it carefully enough, so let me know if you want to go back and re-do the current situation. Oh and Sisilaya, if you're cool with that then I'd be really appreciative. Let me know in a PM so it doesn't look like spam. Thanks!
