*Hikaru smiled as Keira suddenly pulled herself on top of him. He knew that she was definitely drunk now. Still, he let her have her fun and he kissed her back softly. He watched her slip off his shirt and then her own, but didn't stop her. He smiled and ran his hand along her arm and then pulled her in close for a kiss. He wanted to keep going, but he knew he couldn't. He held her arms and rolled her back to her place on the bed and looked at her and smiled.*
Ok, ok, I get it, heh. You're funny when you're drunk, but I think it is time to sleep now. You are going to get me in trouble if you keep this up.
*He kissed her cheek again and pulled the covers over them. He felt it was alright to hold Keira so he did so while gently rubbing her back to put her to sleep. He felt himself slipping off to sleep as well. Soon he was asleep. Clearly he was too tired to do anything too exciting tonight.*

*Keira frowns not really understanding why he somewhat rejected her. As she is rolled to the side where she belonged, she looked at Hikaru frowning. She said nothing and let Hikaru embrace her. So many things were running through her head and as Hikaru rubbed her back, so found herself drifting off to sleep*

*Hikaru woke up without his shirt on and looked over at Keira to remember why. He wasn't holding her anymore, but had turned away in his sleep. He smiled and wondered how she would feel this morning. The next thought that entered his head was Synge. He had to see her today. He got up and took a long shower, thinking about many things. Once he was done he changed and got ready for the day. He grabbed his jacket on the way out and slipped it on as he went downstairs, where he put his shoes on. He saw no one around and decided to go outside for a walk for a bit and come back later. Hopefully he would find Synge when he returned...*
((Off to class, but will be back around 1 if anyone wants to show up. 3nodding ))

Ben woke from his intoxicating night with Synge and he felt like a new man. Everything around him seemed to be shining in a different light. He looked over at Synge and smiled so happily as he thought about the wonderful things that he had felt since he was with her. He couldn't disguise the fact that was satisfied in every way with his life.
He yawned and slid out from beside Synge and lightly covered her before kissing her cheek. He then got up and went about his morning shower/shave/clean up routine. Pulling on some fresh clothes, he stretched and headed out to the tavern to see what was there.

*Synge woke up feeling strange. She felt her body beneath the blanket and remembered. She looked at Ben and smiled. She felt a bit shaky and moved away from him. She got up and went to shower. She spent a long time showering, thinking. When she was done she changed and got dressed. However, she wasn't really happy with what she was wearing and decided to go to her old room and find something that was up there. She hoped she wouldn't wake Keira. She kissed Ben's forehead before she left. She barely missed Hikaru and found no one in the tavern awake. She quietly went upstairs and slowly opened her door. She was a bit confused to find Keira wasn't there but shrugged it off. She found what she wanted and changed, headed downstairs, put her boots on and saw that HIkaru's shoes weren't there. She wondered where he was. It had been a while since she had seen him and she felt a bit bad about that. She decided to go out for a walk, and maybe she would run into Hikaru.*
((Like I said, be back around 1!))

(( I posted before you :p but I will let it slide to prevent a strange happening! ))
Ben looked around and saw the remnants of the party from the night before, he could tell that there was some pretty crazy events. He wondered who kept making these messes and not cleaning them up. Shaking it off, he cooked up some eggs, bacon and biscuits and had a hearty breakfast. Feeling well fed he focused on cleaning the tavern.
He cleaned off all of the bar and washed the shot glasses and the regular glass, he hoped Sen was the one running the bar but somehow doubted it. Once he had cleaned the place he took a seat in the chair and looked around with a curious look.

*Outside of the tavern, the sound of a heavy droning roar can be heard. It comes up quickly and even rattles a few plates but then silence followed. Meanwhile, Aykon began climbing back up the path he knew so well. This time, he had left his duaghter sleeping which was both a relief and a concern.*
*He opened the doors of the tavern and saw the man he had only met once. Walking slowly over to him, Aykon stands near Ben and smiles, pointing to the chair Ben is using.*
Y'know? I used to sit in that EXACT spot all the time!

Ben recognized Aykon well and he smiled nervously as the man that seemed to have a legend behind him approached. When he heard his words he wasn't sure if he was to be laughing or concerned. He nodded and felt his nervousness come back up in him.
I...err..I...guess it...lets you...um...see the...place...a bit...more...I think...I..
Ben quietly cursed himself for being so nervous...why was this happening? He had been doing so well until now.

*Aykon laughed and took a seat across from Ben and waved his hand dismisssingly. This guy really was being too odd.
Hey...it's cool...don't worry about it. I sat ther because I could always greet the customers..looks like you keeping the place going in that respect...how are you doing?
*Aykon looked around the place with marked curiosity, he felt like he was sitting in a place completely unfamiliar and familiar at the same time. He simled reassuringly at Ben.*

He felt reassured by Aykon's words for some reason and he did his best to catch himself. Taking in a deep breath, he focused on the conversation at hand.
Yeah...I...um..tend to like seeing...you know...when people came in...and stuff.
He felt like he was doing better now but still couldn't help but feel awkward, what did the man think of the place? How would he feel about what he and Synge were doing...wh..he stopped himself...why would it matter to Aykon?
The place...man..I gotta be honest with you...it sucks...I have no idea...i don't know..how to run it. And...and...I am really not making...any money at all...like a failure....y'know?

*Aykon nodded and chuckled lightly.*
It certainly is good for that.
*As he listened to Ben talk, he watched him so closely that he might be almost staring. He could tell Ben was scared as badly as he had been the first time he had a lull in business. He nodded accordingly until Ben finished what he wanted to stay and then was silent for some time. At length, he thought of the best way to say how he found out.*
Ben...this place isn't a money maker...it never was about money for me. This place is..well...it is a labor of love. You can't do something like this if you don't have a love for people. Make them feel safe and welcome...harbor them...you will find it doesn't suck so much!
*He pointed to Ben with a matter of fact manner about him and then grabbed a piece of paper.
Here's a little pointer...*he slid the paper to Ben*..I got this in my Post Box here. It seems that Gaia's government wants to give you a handy stipend for running a place to dock the boats...damn boy, I wish I would have thought like you!

Synge ((Sorry I didn't even see you and then I just left for class haha Sorry. Will be reading your RP on my PSP in class for entertainment!)) (( Oh! I see how it I am just here to amuse you...I am a funny guy...look at me amusing you! *scoff* LOL It's cool! I am just having fun until I go to lunch. )) Ben seems confused and takes the paper and opens it. When he sees what it says, his eyes grow large and he seems to almost lose breath.Oh...my..God...that's...this much? Just for running a dock? I mean...holy s**t...Wow... Ben looked up at Aykon to see his face and shook his head.Man...if they are going to pay me this much just to keep it open for Gaia traffic...I won't have to...pay for hardly anything...wow...Thanks! How did you get this?

Aykon's face lit up with a genuine smile when he saw Ben's reaction to the letter. He could almost feel the weight lift from a man that wasn't much different than himself many years ago. In a way, he almost saw some of himself in Ben. When he asks the question, he nods excitedly.*
That's right! One hell of a business move you made there! Goodness, if I had known I could have gotten that I would have done it a LONG time ago. But you did it so touché.
*When he heard the answer, he laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head.*
Uh...hehe...that's kind of funny....see...I transferred everything from my name to yours...except...the deed for the land you built your boathouse on. So..I got the letter when Gambino's people sent it to me. I was...dealing with an old friend here and it just happened to be conveniently in my mail.

When he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh himself, it was good to know that among the host of stupid choices he had made, one had paid off. And, Aykon felt more real to him when he made a mistake like this. It was oddly relieving to Ben, he didn't have more than he can handle, he just wasn't holding the handle the right way.
Well...I mean...I spent years...you know...running a shipping company....if people were...sailing...they obviously wouldn't...you know, bring a giant ship to anchor at a little cove like this...so, I knew having a dinghy dock would be perfect....I thought so...heh...
Ben just shook his head, he felt like the world was really starting to look up for once.
Man...I wish I could learn from you though...so many things you could teach me...it's just crazy...
