Meun looked over at Rigel, scowling a bit at his injuries. “I have half a mind to hurt the person who did that to you,” he muttered bitterly
Meun looked over at Rigel, scowling a bit at his injuries. “I have half a mind to hurt the person who did that to you,” he muttered bitterly
Rigel shook his head, “I hurt him back too, don’t worry. It was just a well deserved brawl, anyways. I haven’t been paying my dues to Alfonzo, so, you know, it’s nothing really new.” But it was new. Alfonzo usually sent one of his other brutes, not Ren, to beat him up. And Rigel would be a fool to take it any different than a threat.
Meun sort of pouted a bit, but said nothing. He still had a faint urge to “talk” to the person, despite his usual dislike of violence
Rigel sighed as he held up the cold water to his eye. He had good friends. He spoke with clarity to his gang when he opened his mouth, “Thanks for taking me in. I would’ve been pretty alone without your bikes riding with me.”
Meun smiled a bit at that. "Don't worry. I'm pretty sure we all would have been a little lonely if we weren't all grouped together," he said as he rested his chin in the palm of one hand
Riverpaw smiled up at him, taking her drink from the table and sipping, also keeping it away from Tsunami's reach.
"You'd probably be arrested without us." August responded. "But you're welcome, either way. You're not the worst person to spend time with."
Meun laughed at that. "Oh yeah, you would totally be in jail without us. Though if we're being honest, I'd probably be in jail without us too."
Rigel grinned in response and affirmed jokingly, “I would’ve been arrested at some point. At least with you guys I can do something other than smoke and deal out smoke.”
Belle smiled.
"I think most of us would be arrested without each other," she reminded the others. "Aside from Riv, of course."
Riverpaw giggled, getting up to sit closer to Belle.
“Aside from Riv,” Rigel repeated to affirm it. He started tapping his fingers on the table out of habit as he looked out the window. Ren’s car was long gone, but his presence clung in the air around Rigel. He really hated that man with his guts. He wanted to pull out another cig, but he figured Riv probably didn’t like it so he tried to restrain himself.
"So are they gone, then?" August asked, following Rigel's gaze out the window. "Because the diner where my ex works isn't exactly the proper place for some sort of gang war."
Belle smiled at Riverpaw, then ruffled the girl's hair.
"You sure?" she asked August teasingly. "I think that's the perfect place."
“They’re gone,” Rigel affirmed, but then added nonchalantly, “But I’m gonna have to deal with them tonight.”
Riverpaw leaned into Belle happily, while Tsunami whine a little and nudged at the older girl's hand for a pet as well. "D-do you have to?" Riverpaw asked worriedly.
August responded by taking some of Belle's fries. "You could just not do drugs," he said to Rigel.
Belle rubbed the puppy's head and glared at August.
"How dare you take my fries without asking?"

“Yeah, or else they’ll probably come find me tomorrow and do worse,” Rigel gestured at his eye, “But I know the run down. Alfonzo is just going to tell me that I need to get him clients, and I’ll point out how many clients I’ve reeled in for him, and then he’ll say Jack had a network of clients before-“ Rigel stopped himself. He’d gone too far, mentioning Jack. He shook his head, and tried to brush it off, “Then they’ll kick me out somewhere on the streets, unconscious most likely. Alfonzo doesn’t want me knowing where headquarters are.”
August responded by taking some of Belle's fries. "You could just not do drugs," he said to Rigel.
“It’s more than that. I’m working out a debt,” Rigel explained, hoping not to get too much farther down that conversation.
August gave him a look. "Who's Jack?" He asked, continuing to eat Belle's fries.
Belle smacked August's hand away and pulled her fries closer to herself. She'd get him back later. No one took her food without asking and didn't pay for it…

(I thought it said "she'd get them back later" and I had a vision of Belle breaking into August's motel room and attempting to cut him open to get the fries back while Meun gives her disappointed looks)

Rigel stammered for an explanation other than the truth, “No one,” He spit out. He wanted to facepalm.
