(( Cya V! Have fun! ))
James' expression when he looked at his glass of blood was victory enough for Meredith when she realized he was disgusted by it. He called her an animal but he had been the one to order the blood, not her so she wasn't too keen on him passing judgement on her. She was tempted to call him a hypocrite but she decided to keep her potentially conflicting thoughts to herself not wanting to stir things up just after they'd calmed down a little. Her and James had different views, that was clear enough but it was funny that besides that they were able to coexist with one another. At the very least his racism of wolves did not have him hunting her down to the ends of the earth, not that she'd run from him. If she needed to take care of someone or something she was more than capable of doing so all by herself. She was a big girl now and didn't need someone holding her hand and making sure she was doing everything right.
Naturally Meredith was able to pick up on James' low pitch mumble despite the fact it was mumbled. Her ears were highly sensitive and they had become accustomed to the music now so she could hear better and well enough to note James' mumbled outbursts. She looked at him strangely and chose to call him on his little conversation with himself since no one else was talking to him. "So what's up with the talking to yourself? Weren't you making fun of poor Pete earlier for that or something? Maybe you should take a look in the mirror, bud. You sure you're alright? You said you're off and such, what exactly does off mean and why are you off?" Despite being angry, full of pride and stubborn, Meredith could also have compassion for those whom did not rub her the right way.
As for Veroen's silence, she knew he wasn't the biggest talker on the face of the earth and wasn't nearly as hot-headed or loud mouthed as she was. He was fit to be a vampire and she was probably more appropriate for being a lycan seeing as many of them seemed to be big, burly and muscular. Veroen was calm, quiet and graceful so of course the whole vampiric appearance suited him rather well. The fact that he'd been a vampire, though, had never bothered her despite the fact he'd almost killed her when she'd been a human. She realized he hadn't meant to and afterwards when he'd taken her back to his home to help her recover she knew it wasn't just a show. He'd made her breakfast and everything, bought her a fridge full of food, even. It'd been ridiculous but cute and thoughtful. She smiled at the memory and gently squeezed his hand in turn.

James looked up and opened his mouth as if to speak.
Shut it damn it. You cant tell her your weaknesses, she's still a wolf!
He shut it again. He sipped againd at his glass. The cold coppery liquid made him feel more awake and clear headed and at the same time a bit drunk. " I wasnt making fun of Peter. I simply mistakened that he had said something that he clearly didnt."

Oh, of course now make a cover to stop the conversation... he doesn’t want the conversation going that way... oh, drunky’s got a secret. Peter, bet you I can guess what it is.
‘Quiet... the girl seems to have stopped listening in... Wonder what the ******** she is… she’s got this... thing... I can smell. Under the human scent... there’s something I can scent under everything... well whatever she seems to have stopped listening’
What’s it matter, she’s just curious, he had practically no reactions as she was listening... well besides the air of arrogance she has about her... nothing... it’s nothing to worry about...
Peter smiled at the waiter as they placed the large dish of roasted lamb in front of him. He was glad that they stopped arguing about animals... every time they did, the voice inside him screamed in protest, in anger at how they where referring to the word.. Animal, Like humans or Lycans, or vampires, or demons where all so far above animals...

Enters the bar, panting. Matt had ran all the way to the docks and back...He was sweaty and tried... He want to the bar and asked for the biggest beer they got.
"How we...doing...."Matt says as he tris to catch his breath. He could of ran in wolf form it would of took less time. But he already turned like 4 times today. Matt was cocky, he always treid to channgle others and himself, witch is kinda his downfall. His brother Jake was missing for 3 years..he was looking for him. How could, Jake last that long...matt was born 1901, his brother 1899. Matt was turned making him immortal...but Jake was'nt. Where was he...?
Not to metion, his whole family murdered by a vampire in 1912, the only body that was'nt at the crime sence was his brother.
Matt remebers when he walked in to his home...the scent of blood...
The flash back disapears when the bartender hands him the beer.

Meredith's newly found tendencies to probe minds awakened at said moment in time and she managed to pick out a few select words from James' thoughts: 'She's still a wolf!' Hearing that particular phrase of his thoughts did not amuse her by any means though she supposed she'd might as well be used to it by now. Luckily for James she hadn't picked up on the fact that he was talking to that voice in his head and it was talking to him. She was bound to make the connection someday, though, perhaps just not today. The huntress proceeded to ignore his slightly insulting thoughts and chose to address what he'd said aloud as opposed to what he'd said in his mind. "Hm ... Well whatever you were doing it was making him uncomfortable so you might want to consider people's comfort levels in the future. You're weird, so am I, you probably can't make me uncomfortable but think about others too."
To be quite honest, Meredith adored animals and it was part of the reason she was a vegetarian. She couldn't bear to eat meat because the thought of eating something that was at one point in time genetically somewhat related to her disgusted her. More so, though, the thought of eating something that was alive once and was now dead disturbed her deeply. Being a vegetarian suited her views perfectly fine and people could laugh at her all they wanted for being a lycan vegetarian but they were not going to get her to eat something that'd been alive once. Of course milk and all that came from cows but it didn't come from dead cows and she wasn't eating the dead cow's carcass so cheese, milk, yogurt and all that good stuff was perfectly fine with her. As for being called an animal, though, most people meant it as an insult so she tended to dislike being referred to one.
Eden's head turned to see Matt enter the bar, panting, sweating and absolutely exhausted and burnt out. She was surprised he'd managed to make it over to the table let alone order a beer. His chair was still there so she waited for him to take a seat in his chair while he was asking everyone how they were doing inbetween panting. "I'd say I'm fairly decent but I'm not so sure about you. You look like you beat yourself up by running way too much or something. It'd probably be a good idea to sit down and take it easy for a while. Everyone needs a break from the job once in a while and stopping to get a meal isn't a sin because you need to be in your prime to fight your prime anyhow. Food's nummy, you can order some of that if you want, too. The bill's on me so order what you want."

Matt takes a seat. And takes off his long black coat. His beer was ice cold, he takes a sip.
The cold and breeze night doesnt hlep his triednesss, he ran all the way to the docks for nothing... Jkae is dead, he has to live with it. His memories of his old live fade away, for now he can relax.
"Thanks for covering the bar, I feel bad. Maybe we can spilt it?" He askes piolte. He feels so arkward talking to this hunter icon. He wonders Why? Why would a girl like her take such a hard job. He doesn't ask, girls are stornger then when he was, well "Human" he wonders how did it change so much. The cars, guns, cities and mostly the people. He remebers when kids helped the elders now they kill them and act rude to them. All the wars, all the innocent people. Now the war that is not on the news can change the human race forever.

Peter attempted to ignore the conversation about how he had been earlier shaken from finding out there was a mind ready next to him. He turned surprised at Matt's sudden entry.
"She's right Matt... You should take a seat... relax a bit." Peter stated before turning back to feast on his lamb... it was roasted to perfection. Meat dripping off bone... a glint in his eyes shined with each bite. He held his fork in his left and his knife in his right with the proper posture of an English Gentleman yet ate ravenously.
...hungry much?

Matt watches Peter feast on the food, he licks his lips.
"Can I have the same thing?" He askes the bartender.
Matt and Peter has just feed, but he was still hungry. Matt lite a cigar and begin smoking. He thought how rude, but he did just run to the docks and back, so take that inner conscetion. Matt was so hungry! He could'nt wait for the lamb!

Meredith had absolutely killed her salad and fries within less than ten minutes, she'd been starving and fries were finger food so they'd been dead upon arrival. She was often hungry and having to eat for another, well, that just didn't help things at all and she found herself eating even more than she normally did, which was one hell of a lot. She smiled, though, when she noticed that Peter was also feasting about as savagely as she was though he'd taken the time to remember his manners and use his fork and knife. She'd used a fork for the salad but those sweet potato fries ... those had been slain. Now she proceeded to wipe her hands off with a napkin and smirked, deciding to ask Peter how he was enjoying his meal though the answer could be found in the gleam in his eyes. "How are you liking the lamb, Pete? I'd take a shot in the dark and say you're enjoying it. Guess I picked a half decent place to get something to chew on."
"Absolutely not! It's on me whether you feel bad or not. Eat up, it's free, I'd take advantage of that if I were you. Not horribly rude advantage by ordering every last thing on the menu but getting a free meal can't be THAT bad can it?" She smiled at him, clearly willing to let the earlier event of them behaving like barbarians go. Eden wasn't huge on first impressions, she'd screwed up first impressions enough that she didn't believe an initial impression was necessarily who a person was. You needed time to see that, though of course she would keep in mind what their first impression had been. She wasn't about to forget it altogether but she wasn't going to let it ruin what was shaping out to be an alright time. Even Veroen seemed to be enjoying himself somewhat though he was, unfortunately the odd one out. One day, though, she hoped to introduce him to Kerrigan.
Kerrigan and her hadn't been the closest until they'd both lost William and Krii and had come together in their attempts to continue leading the hunters without the true leaders being there. Kerri had proved to be an extremely reliable person and it saddened Eden to know that she had suffered the loss of Sethe. They'd more or less bonded over the past few months of a total mess and had come together and were now really good friends with one another. Meredith was glad to hear that she'd come back and was eager to meet up with Kerri and discuss how things were with her. She wanted Veroen to meet Kerri as well since Kerri was a vampire and because she felt Kerri and Veroen would take a liking to one another and respect the other. Kerri was an important figure for Eden right now and she'd always looked up to the huntress so it was only fair that Veroen met the woman she'd aspired to be in certain aspects.

Matt got his food.
"Oh, it's time to eat." He sayed. He began eating like a gentelmen, with a fork and knife. But he could'nt take it. Wolfy wanted to eat and now! he picked up the big chunk of lamg and choped down on it. He thought to himself, was it smart to pay for us. He eat and eat some more, untill the lamd was gone. Matt was fast, now he was licking the bone dry. he was HUNGRY! But he was full, for now.
"Not to question you, but is it to smart to pay for two men who can have the hunger of two beast...?" He asks
He felt bad to ask.

Peter looked up slowing down a bit with the lamb...
"Yes, it is excellent ... nothing like roast lamb to hit the spot... I hope you excuse my lack of conversation, When I’m hungry, I’m not much for a dining companion.”
What are you apologizing for! God you’re the class ******** pet.. god I hate it when you respect the chain of authority…
‘quiet, let me enjoy my meal. After we’re going to go looking for this boy, you can have your run then.’
"three." Peter corrected, he pointed to Eden as her heard Matt's question.

James' eyes roled back for a secound, then he placed the glass down. He wiped his mouth and began to eat. The steak was barely even brown on the outside. He smiled despite himself, it was cooked almost exactly as he would cook it. Simply tossed on a grill, flipped and served. He suddenly was famished. He attempted to eat within the manners he'd been brought up in, but it was no use and he soon found himself using his hands.
Eating like an animal now? You cant even pretend to be human can you? I mean even that wolf can see striaght through you. Pathetic.
He stopped eating and placed the steak on his plate, wiping his hands clean and grabbed the fork and knife he'd abandoned not too long ago.

"Ture, well We do it like beast considering the fact we are beast..one lycan one shapeshifter andJames you are?" He asks, Matt hopes he is not a vampire if so, he will not attack he is in a bar. He felt bad for feeding like that ealier.

"Well ... lemme see ... All three of you appear to be starving and I'm starving too so that makes four of us hungry as hell so no. It probably isn't a smart idea to pay for all four of us but I'm going to anyhow. At the very least Veroen isn't going to be eating anything." She smiled at him and gently poked him and turned her attention back to Matt, observing him as he ate like he hadn't eaten in years or something. "Wow ... you made pretty quick work of that lamb, impressive. Someday we should be absolutely disgusting and have an eating contest or something. It'd be amusing and digusting and fun. Guess that's the human in me talking there, though. We used to have eating contests at home on Thanksgiving and crap and the person who won got an extra piece of pie they could never eat. Heh. Those were good times."
"Yeah. I catch your drift. I'm the same. I like being able to eat my food and then worry about discussing things before and after I've eaten. Good to hear it's filling you up and working out for you, though. I'll let you get back to eating, then." Watching people eat made her realize that she was still hungry so she ended up ordering a fancier salad with a nice vinigrette dressing and a few nuts and such adorning the spinach salad. The thing sounded really good and her mouth was watering just thinking about it. Of course, she didn't let anyone know that and was sure to keep her mouth closed but it was hard not to when she was starving this much. However, she chose to take a sip from her glass of water instead of thinking about it too much. Eventually her dish was brought to her and she made short work of it as well and decided she was probably done for the night. She didn't want to disgust anyone with how much she could eat.
However, soon enough she turned to see James just chowing down on his meal like he was starving as much as Matt had been and she just smiled and chuckled at him. "Wow James and Matt, you two weren't kidding about the starving part. Pete seems to be the only one holding down the table manners even though he's starving too. Jeez. How do you guys survive without food? Are you insane or something? Ugh ... Missing one meal is bad enough but missing enough to be starving is just absolutely unbearable ... Guess I'll never be anorexic girl of the century. Oh well, eating disorders aren't becoming anyhow." She couldn't help but smile at the three of them just eating away like there was no tomorrow and it was their last meal ever or something.
