Kyoshi growled and glares at Viper, giving him the finger. "Kyoshi!" Joker gave the man a sharp look that matched his sharp tone. "Not over the food." The angel glared and nodded, wiping his face. "I'll tell you about those women when we get home. I would like to live to see you to the damn alter." Which he would get her there with him, even if they had to go through those twenty four hour wedding chapel with cheap champagne and twenty five cent rings made of plastic.
Gambler smiled but returned her attention to her food, somehow separating herself from everyone without really leaving the table. It was amazing just how the woman could shut everything out while staring at her food. Viper leaned close to Gambler and whispered softly into her ear, the woman chuckling and nodding. It was nothing but a bunch of innuendos coming from him that might be heard by the elves since Viper didn't know they had excellent hearing. Oh well.

Dusk was laughing as she leaned against her arm, watching the man before kissing his cheek. “I think that you should tell me… I’m curious.” She tilted her head to the side, “I could always tell you of my own little escapades…” She grinned wide as Rave sighed, shaking his head and Eldin just stared for a moment. Sometimes it was hard to believe how old the hybrid was, how interesting she could truly be when she really wanted to. But, before the man could comment, she put a piece of bread in her mouth, leaning back in her chair to nibble on it, nodding in approval. “This tastes really good, Joker. I think you should cook for the castle sometime. Our cook’s getting old and bland…”
Giving her a small look, rave shook his head, but Dusk just looked innocent, “What? I didn’t mean anything bad by it…” She grinned as he sighed an leaned back in his own chair, just sipping at the drink. There was just too much food there for his taste… however, his ears twitched just slightly, along with Kalore’s, as they heard the innuendos coming from Viper’s lips. Kalore wasn’t too bothered by them, but Rave was still… attached to the woman, even after all of this. With his jaw set, he simply tried to tune them out, but sometimes… that was impossible. He took in a breath, shaking his head some before sipping at the water again, his eyes watching the two for just a moment. Rave would behave well, but sometimes…
By the time most people were done with their food, Kit was sitting up in her chair, grinning as she watched Joker. “So… I think we should make ice cream now.” Eldin rolled his eyes, “He probably made desserts before the ice cream maker came…” “So? We can have both…”

Kyoshi glared. "Your always curious Dusk." The angel finished his food just like most others and was still hungry for more. Or rather he was hungry for desserts. "Yes Joker, let's get the desserts going here." Joker just watched everyone and laughed, having finished his mountain of food and started planning out the containers for everyone to take with them. "Of course my lady. I will make the ice cream and frozen yogurts while you all help clean up and put everything away while grabbing some desserts to put on the table. They happen to be some desserts I saw at resturants and from Kit teaching me." He smiled at her with happiness.
"Also, I made coffee, tea, liquor and non-liquor and so on." Getting up he looked at Dusk, Kit, Viper Eldin and Kyoshi. "Those who I pointed to will start helping me. The rest just sit there and wait for the greatest desserts in the world." Especially when he made something out of strawberry for Kalore since that was his favorite fruit. Picking up the plates that were emptied, he hurried to get those done.
Viper grumbled softly and kissed Gambler's cheek, close enough to touch the corner of her mouth as she smiled at him. "Just go before he throws you out or turns you into fried meat." The man nodded and started to pick up the food that were left over, Kyoshi giving Dusk and kiss on her cheek for that. Sadly though, that left Gambler alone with Rave and Kyoshi. Sure she was a glutton for trouble but if they spoke to her she might let sharp words slip and cause them to hate her more. Oh no wait, she almost forgot, she didn't care what they thought of her.

A blink of innocence was given as Dusk tilted her head to the side, “Is that a bad thing? You’ve never complained about my curiosity before…” She smirked at the other but then kissed his cheek as she got up, “We’ll help, we’ll help.” Laughing softly, Dusk shook her head some as she watched Kit nearly flit around, getting the things that were needed and taking care of them. She knew that the blonde was a sucker for sweets… and it was just funny watching her move around like this. Rave watched with his own amusement, but only for the sole reason of not watching Viper and Gambler. He knew that he shouldn’t care about what Gambler did, but Goddess, it was hard as hell not to snap at the man for getting close to what he still felt was his.
He closed his eyes for a moment, leaning back and resting his palm on his brow. He didn’t want to be left with Gambler and Kalore, but soon there were only those three in the room and his eyes opened to watch her for just a split second. Should he ask her things? Should he wonder how she’s been? Rave wasn’t too sure… this had by far been the worst break-up he had had; at least Isabella had been buried and he had had closure. With Gambler? All he had was confusion and pain; two things he wasn’t at all fond of. Sighing softly, he sipped at the water, trying to just think of something to say, but it was difficult for him. Kalore was the one that spoke, yet again surprising them.
“You were shot by your friend?’ he raised a brow, watching the brunette in front of him. as tired and nearly defeated as Kalore’s body was, his voice was still musical and entrancing to those that heard him. It wasn’t intentional… but definitely habit. “More than once? How?”

While the others were busy Gambler was sipping her, sadly, non alcoholic drink. Finishing that one up she took Vipers drink, turning to look at Kalore, smiling slightly. "I took my men for a little trip to the gun ranges to get them practicing. Not that they needed it but it helps to get their manliness out of their system once in a while. Especially after heated debates from them." It was actually funny watching these men yell at each other over the tiniest thing. "So we went to calm their tempers and we worked on hand guns. Of course being the only female there I wanted to show off alittle bit."
Show off she did. The woman had gotten a few beer bottles and a bull's eye target without looking. She did it again but cheated with her abilities that no one knew about. It was funny nonetheless. "I was watching them when Viper didn't touch his. Poor dear was nervous about that since it's not his forte. So I, being such a daredevil, went to the bulls eye to mark where I wanted him to shoot. I turned around to point at it and he shot me under my chest, another at my lower hip and a third one at my upper thigh. Those hurt like hell." Too bad it didn't kill her, she thought wryly.
"Anyways, Viper said his apologies, begging for forgiveness since he didn't have control of the gun." The woman did forgive him but gave him a sound scolding for not aiming at her head. "I told him the next time you want to shoot me, make sure it's to kill me otherwise we'll have some problems." The woman laughed softly. "Don't give him a hard time though, someone else is teaching him instead of me."
Kyoshi helped in the kitchen and started to clean out the table with the help from Viper who sometimes managed to sneak and lingering touch or steal a kiss from her. Gambler just smiled and watched, especially after finishing off his drink and him refilling it. "I see you smiling. It's either because I'm here or your talking about me." The friendly looking male said. "I think it's a bit of both. Especially when we get home you have to worship the ground I walk on for giving me scars." The man snorted. "Those are excuses to get close, my dear." Kyoshi slapped Viper upside his head. "Joker's house, behave damnit."
Viper glared at the angel and walked away arrogantly back to work. "Gambler, really? You can do better." Kyoshi commented. "You have no room to talk, Kyoshi. Your tamed, I'm not." Kyoshi chuckled and walked back to start getting the desserts ready for everyone. Joker was looking at the ice cream machine and squeed. "What flavors do anyone want?!"

Listening to the story, Kalore had just the barest of amused smiles on his features while Rave looked… he didn’t have an expression on his features. He spoke calmly, but there was a cold edge to his voice, “He shot you three times and there was no question on why it was three and not one?” He knew that if someone had a gun… typically the first shot was enough and there was no more when a shot had gone wrong, depending on the gun, of course. But a hand gun? Just what kind of weaponry was Gambler having her people use now? He sighed, shaking his head. He needed to get over this, to ignore what had happened… it wasn’t his concern and Gambler wasn’t concerned for him so why should he be for her? There was no reason and he simply had to just control himself.
With another soft sigh, he let everyone decide what they wanted but every time Viper came out… Rave would glance over at his friend, focus on those in the kitchen, take a sip of his drink; anything that wouldn’t include him watching the annoying mongrel. Frankly, he didn’t like the man and he wanted nothing more than to open a hole in the earth and watch the man fall… for a very long time. But, alas, he would behave. Gambler was behaving, so Rave would have the control to do just that as well. Kalore was even doing decently well, even if he wasn’t really doing much more than just staring off every now and then.
Kit was the one that spoke, “We should make real strawberry ice cream, vanilla, and coffee.” She grinned widely as Dusk rolled her eyes, finishing the packing of the food. “Why don’t we start with vanilla and see if you guys have any toppings or anything for it? That way we can first try the thing with something simple…” Kit pouted but then was at the fridge, looking for things to put on the ice cream. “Mmm… this would work… ooh, that too.”

Gambler shrugged, ignoring that bit of cold edge in the voice of Rave that oddly wanted to make her laugh and soothe him. That last part was just wrong. Very wrong. "Now, now, The weapon is a automatic, obviously the shots fired are going to keep going. It's not like I could have brought out my wings to shield myself. They don't know I'm a freak so why let them know it now?" The woman didn't lose her amusement however and finished her drink. Viper came back out to refill it, smiling at her with charm and definitely ignoring Rave.
Joker shook his head at Dusk. "How about we do it all? I have the time and hopefully you have the patience. Now then, you two lovely ladies get three big bowls for each ice cream, you three men," He referred to Eldin, Kyoshi and now Viper,"Get the toppings and start making tea and coffee." He grinned.

Kalore blinked, raising a brow, “I have to agree with Rave, though… an automatic weapon giving to someone that can’t shoot is just… amusing.” Rave was silent as his eyes followed the interaction with Viper and Gambler. Each time he got anywhere near her, his control was slowly slipping further away from where he could handle, but Kalore leaned against his arm, actually watching Rave more than he watched the woman beside him. Finally, after a moment of silence, Kalore spoke again. “What’s in the box, Gambler?” He glanced over, his expression still neutral but it was the best mask that he had had in a long time. He wanted to know… and he didn’t want to go out there and see. Not yet, at least.
Snickering, Dusk and Kit soon went to do just that as Eldin sighed some, nodding. “Alright. I think we’ve got the time.” He thought about that, nodding a bit as he and Kit were the main ones looking for what was needed, understanding the labels on everything more than the others. Dusk stuck with just finding the bowls and things like that. “So… Do we want to wait for all three before we eat or snack of things as everything’s being made?”

Joker nodded. "Of course. I made a apple pie that will go amazingly with vanilla ice cream. I'm so glad you brought the machine and even more glad Kit has a sweet tooth." He smiled fondly at Kit, starting to do a odd happy dance while making the first batch of ice cream, vanilla. "Everyone do the mambo!" Kyoshi and Viper just laughed at Joker, smirking.
The woman blinked at Kalore and dropped her head. "Alright. You win. I took a tiny peek inside. I'll have you know that I expect you to use the damned things since I figured out how it is I'm paying the fey so much damn money." She grumbled but smiled at Kalore, leaning close. "I'll tell you what's in the box." Looking at Rave she touched her lips with a finger to say to be quiet. "There's...a surprise in the box. That's all I can say." The woman chuckled, grinning with mischief. "As for the shooting accident, the whole point of it is for the men to learn more weapons and be comfortable about it. I can't have everyone blowing things up willynilly you know."

Normally, Kalore would have laughed, pouted, and gotten the woman to tell him what was in the box, but normally he wouldn’t have made it to the car before he looked inside of it; even if he was told not to. The elf was a curious one but now… now he found little humorous and soon just sighed, nodding some, “I don’t doubt that you know what’s in the box… but alright. I’ll see the surprise when I get home.” He glanced at the time, blinking some. They had been there only an hour or so but so far it felt like it was just dragging… and dragging… and dragging. He kind of wanted to go home and he knew that Rave probably did to, but it wasn’t like that was an option for them. Damn.
Laughing loudly, Kit nodded some at the man as she clapped her hands at his little dance. “You’re a freak, dude.” Dusk smiled at the two, shaking her head, “I am so glad someone loves his little antics…” Eldin nodded in agreement, chuckling softly as he watched Joker do his little dance. But… Apple pie sounded really good…

Gambler shrugged and did that thing again in separating herself from everyone at the table, completely going into herself as if none of them existed until they spoke. It was then that Viper sneaked away and sat with Gambler, moving his seat close to her. "Did Joker say you can come here?" Viper shook his head. "There's just too many people in the kitchen. One less might be more comfortable for them since they are fixing up some ice cream. He said something about apple pie." "I love apple pie." She said wistful.
Viper draped an arm over her shoulder and pulled her close. "I love Gambler pie." Chuckling she pinched his cheek. "Now you just being fresh. Not in front of company." Viper looked at Rave and Kalore then back at the boss. "Are they prudish people to shun public displays of affection." Gambler shrugged. "Things change. Maybe they are."
Joker shook his rear and grinned, cleaning the machine and starting to make the strawberry ice cream. "Ahhhh I'm only a freak in the bed dear. This is me being normal sweetheart. Now taste test the ice cream to make sure its perfect please?" He asked with a cute smile.

Taking in a slow, careful breath, Rave knew without looking that the shadow behind him was twitching and moving slightly. His anger was there but he was controlling himself, barely. It wouldn’t do him any good to yell at the man touching his… touching Gambler. The woman was no longer his and he had to make sure that his mind and heart understood that, but it was harder than he had ever imagined it to be. With another breath, he spoke calmly, his voice low, charming but with an underlying tone that would make a demon shiver, “Public displays of a tasteful manner are acceptable… but the comments made, sir, are less than appreciated.” The words finally got Kalore to laugh some as he shook his head, leaning back and ignoring the fact that he was the closest to Viper. He didn’t like the guy either.
“I gotta agree with Rave… The little whispers are hard to ignore… especially when you definitely aren’t being all that… polite about them.” He looked amused but stood, stretching his arms over his head. “I’ll be back.” Going in search for a bathroom, the man really just wanted to get out of the place. He knew that Rave wasn’t going to behave to the extent that he was if Viper was there. If it was just Gambler… that would have been one thing, but he knew his friend and he knew how hard it was for him not to react when someone was touching the woman that Kalore knew he still loved. He felt bad, actually, that he had to deal with that.
Dusk rolled her eyes, “TMI, babes… TMI…” Kit was laughing as she moved to the other, taking a small bite of the ice cream, her eyes widening. “It’s…” Without warning, she hugged Joker, kissing his nose. “Perfect.” She grinned as Dusk was laughing again, shaking her head. “I freaking love you two together, just so you know.”

Viper rolled his eyes. "Perhaps it's best to train yourselves to ignore such display? After all it's hard to change another without pushing them away and breaking them. If it upsets your sensibilities of my open affection to Gambler, then perhaps it's best if you sit somewhere else? After all I can't take her away to a quiet corner to give her a taste of my devotion to her." Gambler blinked behind her sunglasses and frowned. Were these two men, minus the gone Kalore, having a manly pride fight over PDA and her? That was ridiculous, she wasn't with Rave anymore, even if her stupid hand was itching to play with his hair as it was habit, a bad one.
"Come on you guys, enough alright?" Viper ignored her and smiled widely, but there was a cold edge to it. "Besides, Gambler is mine therefore I can show her my affections openly without her thinking twice of my intentions. I'm honest about it. You can take your prudish ways and leave us alone." The male leaned over giving her a kiss on her cheek with a whisper of words that were promises, sitting up with a smirk.
Joker sighed and kissed Kit softly. "Your perfect dearest. Now get me the last bowl for your coffee ice cream...." He winked at Dusk. "Your more than welcome to join us sometime if you like. It might be kinky." Kyoshi growled. "That's my woman damnit."

Listening to them, or him seeing as Gambler was frowning and apparently not liking this discussion either, Rave’s eyes narrowed. “Yours?” That word alone angered him more than anything else that the other had said. Even if he did think of the woman as ‘his’ then he used to consider himself ‘hers’ as well. He wouldn’t ever, ever, stake claim in such a masculinated and idiotic sense. Eyes still narrowed, he leaned forward as he spoke, “I believe that you are a fool, sir. Your disrespect is what bothers me, not the affection that you may give to… Gambler.” The words were painful but he didn’t say much else about it before his eyes were zeroed in on Gambler. He didn’t want to be angry but… Goddess, it was hard.
“He is… yours, as he has put it?” It wasn’t his need to ask this and he shouldn’t have cared at all, but he wasn’t able to just ignore it like he should have. Alas… he just wasn’t that good.
Dusk smirked, leaning back a bit as she kissed Kyoshi’s cheek, “We’ll kick around the idea. Groups can be… fun.” She laughed, making sure that her hands were in kyoshi’s. No need to have the man upset at her or anyone else for a little joke. Then again, it was an interesting thing to discuss and think about… Kit giggled, kissing him gently before moving to get the last bowl, winking at Kyoshi and Dusk. Ah… so Joker had found someone just as ridiculous as he was. Wonderful.

Kyoshi blinked and smirked, nuzzling Dusk's cheek. "Is there something you would like to share that would make you say that?" He asked, her, hugging her to him as he waited to get all the things at once for Joker. Joker himself grinned. "I think we should do something like a group activity. At least before Dusk and Kyoshi become man and wife." He winked at Dusk.
Viper raised a brow and smirked. "I see no disrespect only anger coming from you in my open affections." He said, as Gambler stiffen at Rave looking at her. No, it felt as if his gaze was boring into her to see if he could see her soul and truth of it for himself. Which thankfully, Rave couldn't see, especially with the sunglasses to hide her emotions.
Yet relaxing the woman raised a brow at Rave. "Of course he's mine. After all, you found me out without much trouble." Viper turned to look at Gambler with a questioning look. "I hope you know Viper that I'm a wh*re and a coward. It's a wonder why I haven't been burned at the stake for my seductive cruelties." She drawled, resting her cheek on her hand, looking at Rave. "Does that satisfy your curiousity or will you like me to demostrate how much of this man is mine, like countless others?"
Viper stared at Rave and shook his head at the elf. Gambler wasn't a wh*re. There wasn't a wh*re bone in her. That much of the woman he knew. "Perhaps Rave you would like to share with Viper a few words of advice on how to deal with a wh*re? I'm sure you know first hand how to."
