He shakes her hand firmly, letting loose his bike, supporting it with his hip in a carefree manner.

"Um…I used to live in the mountains a long ways from here. But I've been all over the world, pretty much," Luno said, taking another sip of his coffee after he spoke

Baz nodded, finishing his drink as he played with the handle of his mug. He had been to a couple places during World War II, the war he had died in, though it had only been a few spots in England and villages in France.

Adrik signs out early due to headache and starts walking home. After a moments of hesitation his wings spread and he soars into the clouds.

"Where all have you been?" Luno thought to ask. "I'm assuming Britain because of your accent, or England in general," he continued before sipping his drink

He shakes her hand firmly, letting loose his bike, supporting it with his hip in a carefree manner.

Alexis hopped on her bike as well, putting her bag in the back compartment and putting her helmet on

Durbin kicks down the stand, squeezing the throttle. The engine turns over, and he glides out of the stop, his bike roaring down the road, as he signals her to follow.

She slammes on the gass and follows quickly, her hair blowing out of her helmet behind her

After a few lefts, and a stoplight, Durbin pulls into the lot of a big building, with a neon sign that reads "Urban Seraph", lights and sound pulse within.

Alexis hummed happily, "Looks like a home to me" she called, parking her bike and shaking her hair out of her helmet

"Come on, let me introduce you to Ladon." Durbin said, opening the door for her.

"Classy" she muttered, smirking and walking inside

Durbin walked her down the bar, into the back door, where a tall, handsome guy, with bleached hair stood.
"Ladon!" He called.
"Yeah?"
"This is Alexis, she's here to get a tattoo." He answered.
"Hi." The man said, extending a hand.

"Where all have you been?" Luno thought to ask. "I'm assuming Britain because of your accent, or England in general," he continued before sipping his drink

"I used to live near London, though in one of the more broken down buildings near the edge of the city. We didn't have a lot of money growing up, so it wasn't always the best…though I had always wanted to come to the states," Baz explained as he fiddled with his cup in thought.

Luno smiled a bit at that. "I've been to London once or twice before. I went on a trip with my brother, seeing the sights and looking at constellations and such."

"It's quite beautiful, isn't it?" Baz added, a faint smile crossing his lips when he saw Luno smile as well. "So, you have a brother? People have told me that they're pretty rough," he joked, though it was true. From what he heard, most brother's were annoying and always teasing one another.

"Yeah. Mine's a lot different from me, though. He's loud and eccentric and actually able to stay on his feet for more than two seconds without tripping," Luno said with a small laugh. "He's not too bad, though. We don't look much alike at first, though we're actually twins."

"Twins? You also seem like an eccentric person to me," Baz added with a light chuckle, motioning to Luno with his a hand. "Though, I have to ask, who's the more attractive twin? There's always one," he said, leaning forward on his elbows a tad.

Luno felt his cheeks flush a bit at that. "Well, it sort of depends on who you ask. I've been told I'm the more attractive one, where my brother has the more…attractive personality."

Durbin walked her down the bar, into the back door, where a tall, handsome guy, with bleached hair stood.
"Ladon!" He called.
"Yeah?"
"This is Alexis, she's here to get a tattoo." He answered.
"Hi." The man said, extending a hand.

Alexis shook his hand firmly, "Alright, so I don't know what tattoo I want, so please show me some of your options" she asked

Ladin showed her a select set, including an incredibly detailed shoulder tattoo of a black kitten, with one blue eyes and one yellow. Another one was a skull, with a long, green serpent constricting it.
"What do you think."

Luno felt his cheeks flush a bit at that. "Well, it sort of depends on who you ask. I've been told I'm the more attractive one, where my brother has the more…attractive personality."

"Well, if you're already this attractive, I bet your personality is just as great," Baz answered with a small hum as he played with his cup out of habit. He wasn't usually the flirting type, though he tended to flirt more with quieter people. They didn't make him as nervous he supposed.

Luno's eyes widened, and he was quickly blushing again as he tried to hide behind his cup a bit. "T-Thanks," he eventually stammered. "You're really good-looking, too."

A small smile tugged the corners of his lips up as he watched Luno hide behind their cup adorably, noticing the faint blush on their cheeks. Though, he felt his own flush coming on at Luno's compliment, though it was a bit lighter against his tanned skin tone. "Please, I wish I looked as interesting as you. With white hair and gold eyes, I bet you could get anyone you wanted," Baz added.

Luno felt like his face was going to turn bright red any moment now. "I wish that was the case," he eventually mumbled, his voice barely audible as he spoke. Sure, he was attractive, but he was also a bit easy to take advantage of. And unfortunately for him, he had dated men who almost exclusively took advantage of him

Baz leaned forward, frowning faintly as he struggled to hear what Luno said, though he decided not to press on. "I mean, you're probably already dating someone, but I bet everyone wants to date you anyway," he added, looking towards Luno as he noticed that their face was heating up. Was he making them uncomfortable or embarrassed?

"No, I…my most recent relationship just ended, actually," Luno admitted a bit sheepishly. He pointed at the bruise below his eye, averting his gaze as he sipped his coffee to distract himself

"They…did they hit you?" Baz asked, his voice dropping to something a bit gentler as he looked towards the bruise placed under Luno's eye. He paused, thinking that his question might have been a bit blunt. Not everyone wanted to answer a question that was so private. "Sorry, you…you don't need to answer that," he quickly added with a small stammer.

"It's alright," Luno assured him quietly. "I…He asked me to go get takeout since he was under the influence. And when I came home with the wrong order he hit me. But it's okay, I deserved it," he mumbled, his voice trailing off in an almost depressed manner, as if this was something he had been through before

"You didn't deserve something like that, Luno, just because you came back with the wrong order. It's wrong that your boyfriend would ever do something like that to someone as sweet as you," Baz argued softly as he looked towards Luno with a concerned expression. He honestly wondered why he was being so open and kind to a stranger…though it was wrong that someone would ever do something like that to Luno.

"I've done nothing but mess up for the past week. I can't hold a job, and I refuse to work at the one place I know I'd get paid at. I don't have a home anymore because my boyfriend broke up with me and kicked me out. How is any of what happened to me not my fault?" Luno asked quietly, his voice growing a tad choked now
