Levi plopped his small body into the seat directly beside Xavier and wasted no time in ordering himself a beer. He didn't care whether or not he was drunk, but if other people saw their table mates with a drink, they were more likely to order one themselves, and Levi thought drunk people were hilarious. That, and Levi liked the taste and idea of alcohol. Just tended to open people up and make them outgoing. He hoped that Kyrin's group were going to sit with them, it would be fun to get to know them. See if they'd help him in pulling some pranks on the entire house. Getting something like that together would be more than fun. If Jadyn didn't kill him for pouncing Karma, anyways.

 Kyrin had ridden in the car with Nori in an almost awkward silence, one that wouldn’t often be associated with Kyrin. She had watched the buildings flash by while she thought again about what the night would hold, trying as hard as her mind would allow to forget the sinking feeling in her stomach. The feeling that had haunted her since she had realized what could be wrong with her. Once they had gotten to the bar, she had sighed, partly out of relief.
Entering the bar, Kyrin had immediately spotted the group. They had pushed together a few tables and she noticed those who were sitting. She saw the distinct look in Xavier’s eyes that said he was up to no good, and a similar gleam in the eyes of the man sitting next to her cousin. Maddox looked annoyed at something, likely something that Xay had done. And Jaydn didn’t look like he had a care in the world anymore. Kyrin also spotted Miles at the table and gave him a small smile. Kyrin’s attention then turned to the bar and its occupants. There were a lot of people at the bar, more so then Ky had seen there in a long time and the loud music pulsing through the room lightened her spirit. A smile spread across her face as she made her way through the throng of people and to the table. She sat in an open seat next to Miles and made herself comfortable.

Nori worried silently as he sat with Kyrin in the car, watching her body language and the restlessness she seemed to give off. He was already preparing himself for the hurdle of keeping Ky away from drinking, which she no doubt was going to try to do. He felt a little guilty having to keep her fear of pregnancy at the front of her mind all the time, but that's all he felt he really could do for her. At the mansion he just felt like a burden, so maybe this was how he could actually make himslef useful: being a friend.
At the club, the familiar feeling of high energy and pulsing beats awed him like the first time he had come here. He followed Kyrin the table that the rest of the company was starting to occupy themselves around. He noticed Xavier and Levi and wondered what he was in for. Maddox seemed like a calmer character, but Miles and Jadyn were people he didn't think he'd be at all comfortable around. He decided to take a seat on the other side of Ky, Smiling nervously to the people around him at th table, even if they ididn't notice his existance.

 Miles gave a small nod to his collegue Levi, the slightest of smirks when Kyrin smiled at him, and didn't even give a half-glance to the boy trailing behind her. He wasn't surprised that she took a seat next to him, and he leaned on the table to look at her, remarking, "Evening, Miss Kyrin." and exhaling some poisonous smoke into the space betwen them.
He had noticed when he walked in that there was a game area in the back, and thought it might be fun to have a little one on one with anyone who was willig to put their money where their mouth was, which was also a good opportunity to get "friendly" (although Miles didn't have any friends). He didn't know if Kyrin was into betting, but it would be fun to see what Han's daughter was capable of. "Join me in a game of pool?" he said, motioning casually to the dimly lit back area. He looked at the others who were at the table, as if to offer the suggestion to them as well, if she declined.

Kyrin noticed Miles‘ look, but decided not to let him know of it. “Hello Miles.“The smoke that floated away from the two didn’t bug Kyrin in the least. A good number of the men in her father’s mafia were smokers, and since she was young she had been around the smell. For the most part, her father wouldn’t let the men smoke around her, but she was used to it because she knew the smell on their clothes. Folding her arms gently, she gave him a smug grin. ”A game is it?” Kyrin wasn‘t very good at pool and she didn‘t put it past Miles to not go easy on her, but she thought it would be something fun to pass the time anyway. Ky used to try to play pool with her cousins but the boys would hog the table and leave Kyrin to find other ways to entertain herself.
Kyrin stood, not waiting for Miles, and made her way over to the pool tables. There were four of them, and Kyrin walked up on one where the men who were playing seemed to be close to the end of their game. She smiled sweetly at them and asked them for the table once they were done. She ignored the fact that they were looking her up and down, and grabbed a pool stick to wait for them to be done. The men were distracted by her as they finished their game. Once done, they moved away from the table to sit nearby with their beers, watching to see what she would do. Kyrin picked up a second pool stick and held it out to Miles. Once he took it from her, she began to chalk the one that she held.

Nori watched helplessly as Kyrin left the table and made her way towards the back
Oh well, at last she's staying busy in a way that's sober. He picked up the drink menu and observed all the bizarre names and colors of the beverages offered. He didn't like the taste of the last drink he had at this bar, but a lot of the things in here looked quite festive and he wondered if it would be so bad to give it another try. Looking back a Ky again, then looking back a the others, he figured it couldn't hurt.If he could, he'd like to be on better terms with Jaydn, or Xavier. Avoiding other people that he lived with was not a good way to go aboutmaking amends. Maybe this outing was just what everyone needed to become agreeable.

Miles followed after Kyrin, and leaned against the wall as the others finished up. He seemed to stand out in this element, curtisy of his outfit, but he liked the attention. It was strange how an expensive suit seemed to get more stares than a low-cut skirt.
Once the two men were done playing and ogling at Kyrin, she offered him a cue, and he could tell by the way she handled it, even before playing, that she was a bit of a novice. There was no need to get serious about this game then; a casual game of pool was fine. Perhaps it would better if Kyrin didn't see his competitive side anyways. He balanced his cigarette on his lips and chalked the cue calmly. Looking around at the people in this area, some of them were watching curiously.
He positioned the rack on the table and offered, "After you."

Once all fifteen balls were set in the rack, Kyrin smiled at Miles and lifted the plastic object away from the balls. Taking the cue ball to the other end of the table, Kyrin settled it and took her aim. She broke with wonderful grace, but not enough power and the triangle of balls only slightly moved away from each other as the cue ball moved in an almost harmless way away from them. Kyrin almost frowned before she remembered that it was Miles that she was playing against. Setting her jaw, she forced the smile to stay on her face, as though she saw nothing wrong with the first shot she had made. In her mind though, she had seen loads wrong with it. Pathetic.. She thought as she moved away from the table and waiting for Miles to have his turn.
She could tell by the way he was acting that he was reveling in the attention that he was receiving. She was reveling in it too though. Between the two of them, they had a rather nice groups of people watching their game, even though it had already just started. Kyrin‘s looks and the confident air that she exerted, and Miles‘ suit and the way he held himself had drawn a lot of attention to the pair Kyrin sized Miles up, she knew that he was going to win, and the only way that she had any chance would be if he let her win. He wouldn‘t do that though. Kyrin knew, from her short outing with Miles earlier that he had an ego that rivaled Jaydn‘s own, and Ky knew Jaydn to have a very large ego. ”Your go.”

Miles could only smile lightly. It had been so long, that he really was enjoying himself, and it was an odd, (yet nice) change to not have any pressure while he played. He scruffed his hair and took his time putting out his cigarette in the nearest ashtray. Since his mind was set to have a drink, he had a thirst for it and reminded himself to catch the next waitress he saw floating around.
Adjusting his glasses ever so slightly, he deftly hit a ball into the cluster, and said "Solid." before the ball even landed in the pocket.
As he observed her face, he gave a reassuring smile, as if to say, "Just have fun." Although Miles loved to be intimidating, he wasn't quite in the mood to try and prove himself. Now that he was just starting to get comfortable, he might as well take it easy.

Kyrin watched the blue solid two ball make its way into the corner pocket and almost couldn‘t keep the disappointment off her face. Even though Ky already knew that she was going to lose, she still couldn‘t help but feeling bad about the fact that she wasn‘t good at something. Kyrin watched as Miles took his second shot and narrowly miss the pocket. She watched the table for a long moment before she glanced up and saw his smile. She returned his smile with one of her own, not a smug grin, but a warm smile.
Lifting the cue back into her hands, Kyrin positioned herself low against the table and took aim at one of the stripped balls that had made the mistake of hanging around one of the middle pockets. Putting a little spin on the ball, Kyrin made the shot. Her mood increased from this point as she actually began to loosen up. In Kyrin‘s second shot she overshot by what seemed like a mile and she let a sigh escape her lips. She didn‘t seem disappointed though, as she moved away from the table to allow Miles access to it.

 Xavier grinned as his friend sat next to him at the table. He nodded a hello to him, ”Hey V.” He said, in a tone that was absent of everything but amusement. Fiddling with the water glass in front of him Xavier took a long drink out of it, before looking around the bar to see what trouble he could manage to get himself into. Or more like what trouble he could get Maddox into. The thing was, if Xavier got himself into trouble, more blame would fall onto Maddox for not watching him. Thinking about this, Xavier began to laugh. He looked sidelong at his middle brother, and then blatantly at Jaydn, who wasn’t actually paying him any attention. It was almost sad to Xavier that Jaydn wasn’t watching him, but Xaiver figured that he would just have to give him hell for it later on.
Xavier had watched with mild interest as Kyrin and Miles has gone off to play pool, and laughed again as he saw the attention that they were getting. They only held Xay’s attention for a couple minutes before he began to scan the bar again. There was a large group of girls standing around by the bar, but Xavier couldn’t see them being any fun. His eyes flicked over to the dance floor where the DJ had just put on an extremely fast track one that made the people dancing look a little awkward in Xavier’s opinion. Sighing he had yet to see anything fun to do.
Xavier had heard Levi order himself a beer and felt a little restrained in the fact that he would have to wait for Jaydn to be drunk to get anything for himself. He turned to Levi, ”Think of anything?” He asked hopefully, wanting Levi to have a plan or something of the sort.

Nori watched Xavier's mischievious eyes and wondered if it was such a great idea to be next this guy when he was bored.
No, he thought, Maybe I should try to make friends. that one 'incident' was nothing personal, just a vendetta against his brother. In typical airheaded fashion, the fact that he was used in that situation was completely pushed from his mind in an effort to be nice.
But Xavier wias starting his own conversation, so Nori would attempt to talk with Jaydn instead. He expected to get his head bitten off, but maybe a little bit of conversation couldn't hurt. He was just sitting there, so maybe he wouldn't mind too much...right?
"Uhm, what are you getting Jaydn?" he squeaked. Small talk was good. It would be a miracle if it worked, though.

Stopping himself from laughing aloud at modern dance moves, Levi turned to Xavier. "Nothing, though I'd like to get something going that's got the whole house victim," he schemed aloud. Levi drank from his beer mug and pushed a hand through his elecrtic hair, making it stand at odd ends, more fitting of his personality. He set the mug down, and, having ignored, or perhaps not heard, once again, Jadyn's admonishments against Xavier's drinking, turned again to his friend, "Want one? Might help us plot." He smiled evilly.

Jamie sighed deep and stood in the doorway of the bar and club. The music was far from his favorite, and he doubted any of it would be. That, though, was far from being top of his worries. He had left his overshirt in the car, knowing that the mess of sweaty bodies would make it hard to wear long sleeves. This, however, showed the faded lines remniscient of a troubled past that marked tiny white grooves in his skinny arms. Careful overseers would also take note that he was, if anything, smaller than he had been upon entering the mansion. Jamie himself, characteristically, noted none of these things. Instead, he stepped deeper into the swirling colors of the establishment, and eyed the table his group had taken. Two were plotting, and the rest looked as listless as he felt. He debated the seating arrangement, and instead went to the bar, ordering a small but potent shotglass, he downed the whole thing, and ordered again, this time taking a larger glass to the table, where Jamie chose to sit alone. This was not a call for attention, instead, it was a matter of personal preference. Jamie wasn't sure he cared for or about most of the people at the table, and the sole inhabitant he did care, both for and about, was engaged in conversation with someone else. Jamie didn't take this personally. It was life. That was all.

Obviously Xavier and Levi had been thinking the same thing about the people whom were dancing, and Xavier laughed a new. He then calmed himself by taking a long drink from his glass of water. Something that will have the whole house victim? Xavier thought as he spun his straw in the glass, causing the ice cubes to rattle against the sides. He did it again, just because he realized that it could be a potentially annoying noise, but stopped to take another drink. Xavier eyed the drink that was offered by his friend and idly clicked his tongue ring against his teeth. He knew this was a sound that grated on Jaydn’s nerves like nothing else in the world, but to Xavier’s dismay, he knew his brother couldn’t hear it. Xavier continued to click the ball as he thought, ”No,” He said in a slow whisper that only Levi could hear, ”I am going to wait to get to drinking til Jay is wasted, but why don‘t we get on Maddox a bit.” He pulled away from Levi with a wink and grinned at Maddox as if he had accepted the offered beverage.
