Nearly an hour later...

"So...I decided on an African Mastiff. I think they can swallow a dude's whole head and are just freakin' huge. Bet nobody would mess with me then." She finished up her little story in her typical chipper voice as she walked next to G, carrying a pack of cigarettes for King in her back pocket and a big box filled with different types of cupcakes. Lucky she had taken the boss along with her or she wouldn't have known about the bakery they had stopped at.

For himself, he bought one of those fudgesicles, had it almost gone at this point as he listened to her and chuckled. "Mastiffs are massive. They'll do more than swallow a whole head. They'll take a person down to their hips!" He grinned at her and nudged her with his elbow. It was a good thing the bakery had a freezer, too.

As for King.. she had laid herself out on top of the bar and was currently working on that last cig of hers. She -did- pop back up when she heard voices come along through those doors once more. Next came a look. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Means she could relax a little. Exhale of smoke off to the side.

"Well, that's what I need. So, I just gotta find a place to buy one and then I'm home free." Arches a brow to see King pop up so fast and just shook her head a little. Gabby felt more than a little guilty for what had the other girl so jumpy. "Kingly...smokes and chocolate!" That was supposed to make life all better. Turning back to G as they walked towards the bar, she hip checked him in response to the elbow nudge. "So...you ain' gonna kick me out of that room if I bring back that huge dog,are ya?" If Gabby had ever attempted to use feminine wiles on anyone in her life...it was right now as she batted her lashes up at him. She was likely failing miserably at it too, which wouldn't phase her in the slightest so long as she got her way.

"Still say you should of got the pitbull.." Having to throw herself into the dog conversation. "Throw 'em." Hands held up, prepping herself to catch what she hoped would be a thrown pack of cigs.

"I ain' throwin' my goodies at you! Crazy woman!" Gabby replied

He laughed as he was knocked a little off balance by the hip bump, a few drops of the ice cream going over his knuckles and on the floor. He switched hands and sucked the chocolate off the back of his hand and then eyed her. Thinking about the dog in the GIT.. hmm. "Well, as long as you take care of it and clean up after it, I don't think there'll be much trouble. We've had worse than a dog staying there before." He chuckles.

"Hmph." King?s hands drop back into her lap as she sits indian style.

"Awesome, thanks!" Gabby hopped up to kiss G's cheek before running towards the bar. The box of cupcakes were dropped onto a barstool right before she jumped onto the bar and lifted her hands like she was some terrifying monster, one other than herself that is, that was slowly stalking towards King, dragging its leg a little behind it. Oh and it was a loud breathing monster too.

The urge to say `be careful` was there. Why, she didn't exactly know -- perhaps it was about the girls hand. King was able to keep it back though and instead shift her expression to one of confusion. Leans back a little. One of those sneakers pushed against the bar so she could slooooowly scoot back. "What, you wanna wrestle?" Scoot, scoot, scoot.

He tilted his head to get that cheek kiss and smiled. He watched her jump on the bar and hoped that she wouldn't scuff it up too much cause then Caedia and Jasper would be terribly upset. He finished off the fudgesicle and took a seat at the bar, finding a napkin to clean up his hands.

"So where's this place?" Snorting back a little. King?s attention shifted from Gabby, over to G.

"Down some road and then take a right and there is another road. It is on the right and his tower or whatever is across the road." Gabby stopped for a moment. "I think."

"Hmm? What?" He raises a brow. "The Ivy? We go to the main road out in front of the Red Dragon, take a left, cross the bridge, take another left. Down to the end of the road on the right."

"Yeah, that's what I said..." Sliding off the bar onto the barstool next to him, he was elbowed lightly.

Chuckles at the elbow and a sidelong glance at her with a grin. "Yeah, that's what you said."

Few nods of her head. "Alright." There was a somewhat paranoid look over her shoulder toward the door. Her sight lingered for a few seconds, then she'd look to Gabby. "They got food there?" The question wasn't meant for the girl. That voice left her lips when she looked back to G.

Eyes turn to regard King now, narrowing very slightly as if something occurs to him. "Yes. Yes there's food there. We have a dwarf chef. I'll tell you what I told Gabby. No shenanigans. No trouble. And be on good behavior."

He happened to realize that these two were going to pretty much be a package deal. Where one went the other was sure to follow, or something like that. So he wanted to make sure the rules were clear. He'd already cleared it with Gabby earlier. If King was going to end up staying there, she'd need to behave, too.

"Awww, don't be mean. She isn' gonna cause trouble!" She reached over to poke at him, which was about as mean as she could be in the circumstances.

He raises a brow and pokes her right back. "I'm not being mean. And if she isn't going to cause trouble, then that's good. I just want to make sure that it's known that trouble isn't wanted there."

"Your roof, your rules. I gotcha'." He was helping Gabby, that's all that mattered to her. If she had a safe place to sleep for a few nights, she could cut down on her actions and just relax to make sure everything was an easy stay.

"Oh, and don't say anything mean or imply anything to the Housekeeper. Trust me."

"And if you do see her and talk to her, just call her 'Miss.' That's how she likes it."

King's paranoia was wearing off on Gabby now, mostly because she just fully realized what a deep mess they were into. Noah knew she came here and here they were, late at night, everyone gone. She found herself starting to breathe more rapidly as panic rose up in her. "Ohmygod...he really is goin' to kill me isn' he...?" Leaning over now with her head between her knees trying to stop herself from hyperventilating.

G blinks as she suddenly bends over, reaching to her and rubbing her back. "Hey, hey, you'll be all right. Trust me. I got more than a few tricks up my sleeve."

"Yes ma'am, no ma'am, alla' that stuff?" Another snort back. It was starting to sound like she was back at the dorms. Thoughts pushed aside when she saw the state Gabby suddenly found herself in. "Ayo, look.. " It didn't take long for her to be fully at her side. Palm found her shoulder while she leaned in. ".. Notin' like that's going to happen, alright? You're good. I'm here, he's here - it's all good."

"No, not 'Ma'am. Just 'Miss.' Her name is Miss Maude. Just how she likes it. Oh, and if you need, I know this haunted island. If you don't mind a boitata thing."

"And she's right. You're not alone, and we're not going to let some punk kid come after you."

"How are we gonna get there tonight, Kingly? What if he's out there?" She sat up but continued to try to take slow, deep breaths.

"We walk and I'm armed?" G assured her.

"We got an escort.. right?" Hand kept lightly gripped against Gabby's shoulder. She looked to G.

"Okay." Breathing out heavily. "Okay, let's just go before it gets any later." Of course, she had forgotten the conversation from two days prior where G had told her he didn't use guns. Otherwise she would be freaking out even more because...you don't take a knife to a gun fight.

"I'mma get my dog tomorrow, yo. He'll eat Noah's face." With that, she stood up and grabbed the cupcake box, having been so immersed in stalking and wrestling King, she had forgotten to eat the chocolate she had been about to die without earlier.

Oh, G has a gun. It's a one shot gun, but it's still a gun. Hee. Of course, having a gun and using guns are actually two different things. "We can go, it won't be too long to get there. If you want to stay off the main road, we can keep to some side streets, though being more out in the open makes it less likely something will happen."

Cheeks puffed when she noticed Gabby looking away from her. With her focus on those chocolates for a bit, King was able to let out a breath to try and calm herself down. Hands dug themselves back into the pockets of her hoodie. For now, she'd keep a little quiet while waiting.

"let's just not get followed or killed. I don' care 'bout anything else." She slid off the barstool and started walking towards the door, her heart pounding harder with every step, as she whispered under her breath. "I need my ****ing bat..." Reaching the door, she stopped and turned to wait on the other two.

He gets up and tugs on his vest, tossing the jacket over his shoulder. "The Arena is next door. Want to stop and get a club before we go? Might make you feel better."

She just nodded and opened the door, standing back for a few moments.

Fiddling with the different things in her pockets. Empty pack of smokes, lighter, this and that. She lingered for a little, then followed behind them. "Sounds like a good idea." Agreeing with the talk of stopping at the Arena. She stopped in front of that opened door. Peering over to Gabby, then to G. Sidestep.. Maybe she expected him to be the first out?

He steps out of the door while she stands back, checking to make sure everything is fairly clear. He looked around a moment and then tapped Gabby's upper arm to let her know the coast was clear. "Arena, then Ivy. Pleasant nights sleep. Stay out of the freezer."

Grabbing King's hand, she pulled her along as she ran towards the Arena as if Noah was right behind her.

And he's just trying to keep pace.

Taken from live play. Thanks to G and King?s players for the fun.
