Walking Through The City (Lex)

[Lexandra]

Why was it that it took so damned long for some people to shop. What she was done in.. ten minutes tops. Yet, Jerk Boy was tagging along waisting his time throwing punches a bird. Why would you hate your bird that much and then buy it anyway was beyond her.

She waited with Drake in her arms the puppies eyes were closed as he lay his head on her chest. She smiled at him while she waited for Jerk Boy to get done. Damn she hated waiting. Why did she want this drink? Oh yeah! Because he damn well better buy her one or that hole she had healed was comin' back faster than he would say no.

He paid for his stuff and she sighed waiting. Yeah, this kid got on her very last nerve. Damn him. First he was an ass now he was trying this softer side crap which was fake and she knew it. Damn him.. again! Damn him twice and back again! He finally asked if she was done and she nodded.

"Yeah lets go get this drink thing over with." she said as she placed Drake on the ground and holding his leash with one hand she walked past Darts making sure to hit his shoulder on the way out.

She exited back to the street and waited yet again while Drake happily wagged his tail and pranced around on the sidewalk just happy to be outside. A small smile crept to her lips as she watched him romp and play chasing a leaf of all things.

[Darts]

Darts was getting a little ticked off. Obviously he had pissed her off but she was starting to get on Darts’. Darts started to walk out. Rubbing his shoulder lightly after Lex bumped into him. He looked around the street. Where could a bar be? He had to know as he did promise Lex to a drink.

He looked at Lexandra. She had an amazing body. She was fit and she was...well fit where it counts as well. Though Darts didn’t always think like that. It was just that he thought she looked really good. As she watched her new dog he tilted his head for a moment. He got a good look of Lex. Interesting how someone with that body can be so pissed off. It was amazing.

Darts put his hand in his coat pockets and walked up to Lex to see if she was ready to go. But he had to remember where a bar was. He thought about it but could only think of a small bar just down the street in eyesight. That would have to do, as he couldn’t see any others. He guessed that unless Lex new any other places they would have to go there.

I guess if I am going to get on her good side I am going to have to start treating her like a “lady.” Although with how pissed she gets it seems like she could be a danger to my health.

Darts smirked and tapped his shoulder where the wound used to be. She had healed it but he felt as if she was ready to open it right up again.

But how to get on her good side? Darts thought.

“So as I am guessing you can see, there is a bar just down the street. Probably generally empty. But this is if you don’t know any other places that you wanna go to or if you don’t want to go at all. I am sorry but I am not the warm-hearted kind of person to most people if that is what you like. But I will do my best to get on your good side. Just because I feel like it and I might as well befriend the first normal person I have met here.”

OOC: ^^ Accidentally put it on Mayo again but now fixed.

[Lexandra]

So Jerk Boy came out of the pet store and he told her about a bar not too far away. She nodded at him as he went on and on about how he wanted to get to know her. Well he was, he was getting to know her badside and if he kept it up that's all he was going to know.

"Fine, lets get this drink thing over with." she said as she and Drake took off down the sidewalk.

She got to the bar rather quickly and tucked her bangs behind her ear again as she opened the door letting herself in. She didn't need that chivalry crap from Jerk Boy. She stepped up to the bar and brought Drake with her setting the dog in her lap so that JerkBoy couldn't get too close.

"Gimme a German brew." she said to the bartender as he slid the green pilsner bottle down to her she took a long swig and waited for JerkBoy to follow. Her beer was gone in no time and she ordered another. What was two beers? That guy was a jerk and she was gonna make him pay.

[Darts]

You could feel the tension in the air as Lex spoke. She really hated his guts and at this rate he was going to have a couple arrows in him before he could do anything about it. “Bring it” Was all that came to Darts’ head when he thought about what Lex may try but he didn’t want to have to fight her, to hurt her. That wasn’t the type of person he was. He was a shield mage, and with those shields he had to protect.

Unfortunately Darts’ was an ass at times as he didn’t care for most people so of course when Lex got mad he didn’t really care for it except feel a bit of an annoyance. As the walked to the bar and Lex sat down with the dog on her lap Darts sat next to her and looked at the bar tender.

“Cold beer, I don’t care which kind as long as it doesn’t taste weird.”

Darts was use to normal name brand beer. There was no point in trying the other stuff. As he sipped his cold drink he looked over to Le who was on her second glass already. As he watched her he wondered what was going through her head. With the thought of Darts’ head on a silver platter he quickly tried to think of something else.

“You know that at the rate you are going, chances are you will be wasted in a couple minuets right.”

Darts smirked.

[Lexandra]

Lexi raised a brow at JerkBoy. She still didn't know his name and she sure as hell wasn't going to ask. She didn't want to know his name because then she couldn't.. oh wait yes she could. It didn't matter if his name was Greg he would always be JerkBoy to her no matter what.

"You know my alcohol tollerance by what now? Because I don't recall telling you how much I drink, nor how much I weigh. All that depends on my tollerance. So don't judge me k?" she said with a wink as she began to sip her second glass of beer.

It was the good heavy stuff. Brewed in Germany sent here it was cold and God it was good. She finished it off in no time and ordered a second one. She didn't show it but she was already getting buzzed. Yeah.. buzzin' rocks.

[Darts]

“Yeah I guess you are right. But I was only saying.”

He looked at his now empty glass and glared at the bartender. The bartender than poured him another glass of beer. Darts could tell that Lexandra was trying to hide that fact that she was getting drunk. She was doing it all right but Darts had been drinking for years. Even in school he would find ways to get drinks such as this but he was always careful and aware of the people around him. So in other words he could almost tell if someone was wasted or not.

He looked at the door. He wondered how many more of those drinks it would take before Lex wouldn’t even be able to make it over there. Darts then smirked and laughed under his breathe. Poor Lex. Soon she will be so drunk she won’t know up from down. That would be a sight. Darts turned his attention to the window. The sun was almost completely gone and they sky was a dark blue with the stars starting to come out.

“By the way, I didn’t actually introduce myself before. My name is Darts Anderson. I already know you are Lex but of course I don’t know your last name just to make sure you don’t attack me again.”

[Lexandra]

The bartender filled her glass up again and she grinned. Beer. It was the good stuff. She began drinking this one as her hazel eyes studied JerkBoy.

"Yeah? Well Darts is a weird name. Why in the hell did your parents decide to make you suffer like that?" she asked curiously as she downed the rest of her beer.

Slamming the glass on the table she was done for a moment. She leaned back in her chair and pet her puppy. Drake was asleep in her lap and she was so happy to have him there. He was sweet and had already taken to Lexi as if it was meant to be.

She tapped the bar hard with her hand and the bartender poured her next drink and she began sipping on that. A permanent grin on her face as she waited for her answer.

[Darts]

Darts Smirked as he heard the question.

“Unfortunately I can’t give you a proper answer to that question.” Darts finished his second beer and glared at the bartender again for another. “You see I was adopted by a man and women and I was already named Darts. I don’t remember how I got the name. But it was one thing I remembered so we kept it as my name. Personally I don’t really think about but I guess it could be weird to some people.”

He finished his third beer and was still focused. It would take a couple more to get him a little buzzed. A true man had to be able to hold his liquor. Darts could see that more stars were appearing in the sky. He would have to make sure Lexandra got home safely. He didn’t care for most people but he wouldn’t just stand by and put someone in danger. That wasn’t right no matter how bad you were.

“Getting away from my family I feel like something special tonight.” Darts looked at the bartender for a moment before he spoke. “Give me the biggest strongest drink you got.”

As the bartender made the drink Darts couldn’t help but watch. He took out a large glass and put in some ice. He added multiple liquids from different bottles and drops of liquids from small bottles until he showed Darts his creation. A drink that looked just like beer but was very strong. A masterpiece in the eyes of some, including Darts. Darts chugged it down and when he finished he couldn’t help but grin. He felt a little buzzed and could feel it coming around his mind dim down.

“That was good.”

[Lexandra]

Lexi downed her forth drink of the night and sat her empty glass down. She grinned happily and slouched in her seat. She began to laugh slightly at something inside her head she apparently thought was funny.

"Bwhahahahahah do you know what's funny? You're hair... hahahahah it's everywhere.. hahaha it's all .. haha fuzzy." she laughed hard her stomach already hurt and cramped up from laughing so hard.

Drake looked up at her and licked her hand but she couldn't stop laughing. It was just too funny. His hair. It sucked. It was crazy and all over the place. Seriously she just wanted to comb it. Maybe gel it. But man. It was bad.

[Darts]

“My...Hair?”

Darts didn’t ever mind his hair. He guessed it was a bit messy but he never really bothered fixing it up. It had also been a while since he had gotten a haircut. But he was fine with his hair and so when Lex brought it up he didn’t really care. He could however see she was obviously drunk and any more drinks would make her seriously impaired.


“My hair is fine. I just never bother doing anything with it. I will wake up, take a shower, and towel-dry it from there. It isn’t anything special and it isn’t usually brought up in conversation. Though I don’t mind.”

Darts took a better look at her. He could tell she was drunk and Darts was just about there as well. He figured now would be a good time to head back to the academy. Though Lex may not co-operate. She didn’t seem like the kind of person who co-operated much. But it was probably for the best that they headed back.

“You’re getting pretty drunk by the looks of it. I am thinking we should leave now or soon. Are you ready?”

He looked at the bartender as if waiting for a bill. The bartender put a bill in front of Darts and Darts paid then stood up waiting for Lex.

[Lexandra]

The colors. They were so damned bright they almost hurt Lexi's eyes when she finally stopped laughing and opened them. Drake hopped down from her lap and barked at her which sent her into another fit of giggles. She totally missed Darts wonderful speel on his hair care. Not that she cared how he took care of ol Fuzzy as she had now dubbed it.

She stood up and took a step tripping over her own shoe lace she stumbled into the table close by. Leaning against it she laughed harder than ever. It was too funny. Damn table ran right into her. I DIDN'T KNOW TABLES COULD MOVE!!! NIFTY MAGIC!!!

"Let's go home FartyDarty!!" she called out and broke out into yet another fit of giggles. Oh geez this was fun. She was gonna have to remember this feeling for one of those bad days. She almost.. in her time of incoherency remembered her past flashes seemed to invade her mind and for a minute she stood still as if seeing something from before she woke up in the hospital.

A small girl giggling. A swing in a vast green park. Those eyes they were...

The flashing stopped and she grinned as Drake ran around her feet.

"Come on Dog."

[Darts]

Darts saw that she stood still for a minuet. It was odd but he didn’t really care. Opening the door he walked out and waited for Lex. “We should get going before it gets completely dark. Don’t want your pretty face to get hurt now do we.” There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

As he led Lex back to the academy it began to rain. It was just a drizzle now but it could change anytime so they should get back as fast as they could. They continued to walk as Darts clothes start to feel a bit heavier from the rain but he didn’t zip up his jacket. He really didn’t like the feeling of a zipped jacket on him unless it was very cold.

“We might want to hurry before we get to wet.”

Though it was almost too late for that as darts hair was in his eyes. He hated when that happened but he still refused to get a haircut. He quickly removed his shields from his sides revealing them to the naked eye. He put one over his head to stop the rain from hitting him and one over Lexes so that they didn’t get any wetter. It wasn’t that he really cared if she got wet. At least that’s what he told himself. He just didn’t think it was right top let someone get wet like that. He thought. He wasn’t exactly sure of his reason.

As they reached the door to the academy he sighed and put his shields back on his sides. They disappeared from sight again and he stretched a bit. He had gotten a bit stiff from holding the shields up during the walk. He opened the door and waited for Lex to enter.

“Ugh finally no more rain.”

[Lexandra]

Lex was led through the city by Darts. She leaned on him because walking straight was not an option. But then it began to rain and she cursed. Drake was running around trying to catch the drops in his mouth like an idiot. And she was too drunk to do a damned thing about it.

Even leaning against JerkBoy she stumbled and he had to pick up the slack slightly. She was tired now. Her body had used a lot of energy today and getting drunk and laughing about it really had taken a lot out of Lex. She was tired and though walking she was beginning to fall asleep even in the rain. She was soaked. Being the relatively thin girl she was her hair now clung to her head even in the little side buns. Her bangs were plastered on her forehead and her clothing seemed glued to her body.

"Room 7...715" she mummbled out in her over tired state. Her head rested on Dart's shoulder as he seemed to be having to hold more of her weight up. She was too tired she could, if he would let her, sleep right here on the steps.

[Darts]

Darts could see how tired Lex was. Her head was resting on his shoulder and she was half asleep. She needed to get some rest or else god knows what could happen. Dammit, why did he care? He shouldn’t care. But he did. He was going to regret doing this he was sure.

“”Room 715 right?”

With that he lifted her up and picked up Drake and put him in Lexes arms. The academy was practically deserted in the halls, as it was late now. Darts read the numbers on the doors. 710, 712, 714. Darts then stopped and looked across the hall to see room 715. He walked up and asked Lex for the key. As she handed it to him he opened the door. As they walked in he turned on the light and let Lex do as she may. Darts however had to go to the bathroom and didn’t think Lex would mind. A few seconds later he was washing his hands and face. He then walked out to see if she was all right.

“Yeah well, you gonna be alright now?”

[Lexandra]

Lex barely felt herself being picked up. She was cold and her skin was starting to go numb. Even JerkBoy was cold to the touch when he picked her up and held her to him. But she looped an arm around his neck to help him hold her up. Shadow now dangled from her belt as he carried her dripping through the halls. Her hair fell down after a while the rubber bands lost to whoever would find them as her tangled locks fell around her face.

She was already mostly asleep when JerkBoy asked for her key. It must mean they were at her door. She handed him the key out of her pocket but didn't make any movements. When he put her down and went into the bathroom she crossed tiredly to her bed and fell down upon it. Still wet and probably dripping onto her bed now she closed her eyes and began to fall asleep.

She didn't hear or feel Drake climb up and nuzzle up to her chest. She didn't hear JerkBoy come out of the bathroom nor leave. Her room was very nice. Black red and silver. It was a gothic persons dream. Even runic symbols painted on the blood red walls. And Lex sleeping on the side of her bed. Still wet and now the covers were too.
