1x1 Grumpy Begginings

[rubyrocketboots13]

Julian hadn't expected Clair to be so protective of Robin, though it didn't seem to faze him. " I'd really rather discuss the business proposition with Robin herself. It's really a sort of personal matter, you understand~?" He said, never dropping his polite tone. With a slight hum, the attractive young man adjusted the bandana he was using for an eyepatch before speaking again. " I get the feeling that you don't trust me, miss Clair. I can assure you that I mean Robin no harm~ We've been friends since the roaring twenties~ I helped her run one of the biggest bootleg whiskey operations in New Orleans back in the day." It was hard to tell if Julian was lying or not, but the young man seemed to be quite convincing.

" Aw~ You're much too sweet to me, lovey~" Kira giggled, kissing Jay's nose lightly. Happily, the petite teen plopped herself down at the table right beside Jay. " Hmmm, I think I want pad thai noodles!" She hummed happily, looking up to Jay with a bright smile, " We can share, if you want to?"

" Mark Holback.. North gang?" Robin hummed lightly, tapping her nails on the table lightly as she tried to remember," That sounds so familiar. Yes, I do believe I've met him a few times before. If my memory serves me correctly, he was quite an excellent shot~" She purred amusedly, giving Matt a gentle nudge," Perhaps you do have the makings of a good marksman? You know, I think we should have a bit of target practice~"

[SpotSong]

Clair huffed a little and rolled her eyes. "Personal could mean harm. And you do not want to cause any issue or you won't exist for much longer" she said warily. "I put little trust in many things Julian" she mused honestly and regarded him curiously. "Roaring twenties huh? I don't know if I can trust you. How can I trust Hm? Prove to me something that could get you the location of Robin. I could let you wander or I could tell you exactly where she is with ease. Your choice but I am cautious of you"

"Mmm that sounds really good" he said with a smile and put a hand on her lap and he kissed her nose. Just as she had done moments before. "I would love to share. I may get the spring like roll things? I can't for the life of me remember what they are truly called" he sighed to himself.

"Hm. Well glad to know he was memorable for his shot." he said with a small smile and moved from the nudge. Grinning a bit more. "Ah? I'd hope so. I'm down to show you what I got. Gotta make Pabbi proud you know" he chuckled slightly.

Julian lightly ran his fingers through his hair to fix his already flawless locks. " I have no issue with Robin, miss Clair. I simply want to discuss a bit of business with her" He said with a patience that was slowly beginning to wear thin. " I don't appreciate being threatened, missus. But, I can prove that we know each other. Ask me any question you'd like to about Robin and I can assure you I can answer them all with ease."

Kira snuggled close to Jay, giggling as he kissed her nose. " Mhm!" She nodded happily in agreement," Pad thai is the best~". Kira smiled up at Jay, her large green eyes sparkling amusedly," They aren't just spring rolls? I always thought that's what they were"

" I can't wait to see what you've got, Lover~" Robin purred amusedly. " How about we go down to the shooting range after I get changed? Unless you have other plans, of course?"

[SpotSong]

Clair could tell he was wearing down and it was sort of what she was wanting. To see the true colours of this guy she had to poke the bear. "Oh? Hm that seems rather dumb on my part to just ask you know. And no one likes being threatened now do they?" she said regarding him with a cheeky smile almost. "But humour me. I'll ask something simple. What is her favourite drink?" she asked to start with a Playful tone.

"it is!" he said in agreement before giving a sheepish smile. "Oh? Haaa probably. That could just be it. I always think there are certain names for things but I get cultures all mixed up. Can't help it. I'm like a thousand and fifteen years old" he mused.

Matt wandered over to her and smiled. "Nope that sounds perfect to me Robin" he said honestly and brushed some of her beautiful hair behind her ear and have her a Playful wink before backing off. "I can't wait to show off what little talent I have"

[rubyrocketboots13]

Julian's slightly annoyed expression shifted to an amused smile at Clair's question. " Her favorite drink is red wine, of course. She likes the astringent, slightly bitter taste." He hummed lightly, giving off an air of confidence. It seemed that he did know a lot about Robin. Though, that didn't necessarily mean that they really were friends.

Kira gave a bubbly laugh, leaning up to kiss Jay's cheek as he mused about being over a thousand years old. " It's okay, lovey~" She said with a giggle," I'm sixteen ( I think? lol I can't remember how old she is r.i.p) and I forget stuff all the time!" Contentedly, Kira rested her head gently against Jay's shoulder, beaming up at him.

Robin felt her cheeks warm just a bit as Matt brushed some of her lovely blonde hair from her face. It was quite sweet how a simple gesture could melt such a powerful woman's heart. " Perfect~" She cooed, standing up and cupping her hand to Matt's cheek. Robin's sharp gaze rested on Matt's lips for a moment and perhaps impishly, she was struck with the urge to kiss him. She didn't know exactly why, but this time she gave in to her romantic impulse. Cupping her hand to Matt's cheek, Robin pressed her soft lips against his and kissed him sweetly.

[SpotSong]

It didn't but really Clair was just playing with a mouse at the moment so to speak. She smiled. "Correct. Now let's see if you can get another question or two. What is her favourite animal? What is she like now?"

(eh sounds about right) Jay leaned into the cute little kiss and reassuring words. "Oh good I thought it was just because I am old" he chuckled a little and moved his hand along her lap in a soothing way as he chatted with her about silly things. Their food soon came and he was rather hungry. "Smells so good'

Matt smiled slightly and leaned a touch into her hand. He was surprised by her kiss and was hesitant to respond at first. But she eased him into it and he returned the kiss gently and carefully. It had been a long time since he had had any sort of relationship for his girlfriend actually got into an accident and died. Well. So people say. He believed she was kidnapped and who knows what happened to her or if she was still alive. That's when his kiss to Robin may have deepened a little and his hands held her hips to pull her closer to him.

[rubyrocketboots13]

Julian flashed Clair a cheeky smile, growing even more confident. “ Her favorite animal? Easy, Russian blue cats are her favorite because she thinks they’re beautiful. That’s the cat she shape-shifts into the most.” He said with a little hum, “ And Robin is still as determined and feisty as ever, though word on the street is that she’s been getting a little soft lately.”

“ Pfft~ You can’t be old and senile just yet!” Kira giggled, her eyes sparkling with pure delight. Happily, she chatted away with him until their food arrived, reassured by his gentle hand on her lap. “ Mmm~” Kira hummed happily, her tummy growling a bit from the heavenly scent of pad thai. (( lol now I can’t stop thinking about pad thai now XD I need to make myself ))

Robin let Matt pull her closer as she returned his kiss just as deeply and lovingly, tracing her fingers through his blonde hair. She found herself lost in a whirlwind of emotions she hadn’t felt in a long time. The attractive young woman hadn’t realized how starved for affection she had been. All of her past relationships had been utter failures once her lovers had found out what she truly was and because of that, Robin had become very untrusting of men. She had stayed away from ‘real’ relationships for fear of getting hurt all over again.

[SpotSong]

Clair sighed heavily at his answers and regarded him carefully. "I don't like you" she said simply and easily. "Fine. She's on 4ths street in the blue apartment on floor 3, room 122. I don't know how long she will be there, though" she said easily.

((Hehe sorry not sorry)) Jay shrugged a little. "I could be anything" he pointed out and looked at the food happily and then to her. "By all means. Ladies first. Taste both" he instructed with a smile.

Matt savoured every kiss and touch with her for as long as he could before he had to pull away. Taking little sharp breaths and burying his face into her neck with a slight blush. Placing a single kiss there. "Huh. Romantic tension was truly there" he mused lightly.

[rubyrocketboots13]

Julian's smile only widened as Clair admitted that she didn't like him. He didn't seem to be at all fazed that she didn't trust him. " 4th street apartment?" He repeated, giving her a cheeky smile," Perfect, thank you very much Miss Clair" Julian wasn't sure if Clair had given him the right information, but he was going to try it.

" Aw~ You're too sweet, Lovey~" Kira cooed happily, giving his cheek a gentle peck before helping herself to one of his spring rolls. " Mmm~" She hummed delightly at the taste, " Lovey! You have to try this! " Kira said happily, offering him a bit of her spring roll.

Robin pulled away slightly from Matt, feeling just a tiny bit breathless. Her cheeks were flushed with an attractive pink as she melted from his gentle kiss to her neck. Robin couldn't help but snuggle into Matt a bit more, running her fingers lazily through his blonde locks. Something tugged at the edge of her mind, telling her that she shouldn't fall for another guy she had just met - though it was already too late. Robin was already slowly falling for Matt.

[SpotSong]

Oh it was the right information alright. She grumbled and gave him a glare. "Whatever." she muttered and closed the door. Fixing her attire and brushing her hair over her shoulder before going back up to the room with Haru in it.

(hey somehow Honey disappeared and I just remembered lol. What were they Doin again? XD)

Jay chuckled a little. "I have to be sweet. It only makes sense" he hummed and when offered, he happily took the bit of spring roll and hummed at its taste. "Good is so good" he grumbled.

Matt had goosebumps travel up his skin from her playing with his hair and he smiled lightly against her skin. Picking her up easily to have her wrapped about him like a koala bear as he nuzzled int her neck. "You are Ana amazing kisser~" he rumbled honestly to her.
