Everyone's reactions kicked in.
""What the fuck? Is she drunk? Did she drink?"
"What the hell? I was just joking! Are you ok? What did you drink?"

People were being too optimistic. They had yet to analyse the situation. Laou had to push for an answer. If this stubborn bartender wasn't budging, he wasn't. And he would more that just 'not'. He continued.

"She was in a fine enough state when she walked in! She took a little sip, and boom! I saw the shock in her eyes. This wasn't just a random faint. You have to answer. You have to. Now."

Laou turned to Ivana, who was ensuring Alexa was ok.

"Ivana. You can do something, right?"

Laou turned back.

"If she wakes up... I can't imagine what'll happen. You better confess now."

Ivana tried to wake Alexa up, which didn't work. "Ivana. You can do something right?" Loau asked Ivana, then turned back. " Well, maybe... but not here. I can craft a drink which can increase her blood flow, and possibly wake her up if she doesn't herself... But I don't have the ingredients on me. We should head back to the Inn." Ivana looked back at the bartender, forcing an expression of anger as best as someone like her could. "And if you did this, you're a very cruel person. If not then sorry." Ivana looks around at the others and asks, " Can any one pick her up, and carry her back."

Laou instantly turned to her again.

"Can anyone carry her back?"

Laou responded quickly, picking her up by her legs and back. It was easy for him as she was quite an average height and weight. But Laou still wasn't finished with this woman.

"Listen here. I will come back. And with more anger if I find out this was you. Anyone coming with me and Ivana?"

Yaretta Lorenzo, the Barmaid, had always hated Ivan and his group. Every time they've ever come into her bar, they have done nothing but cause trouble, make a mess, and leave it all for her to clean up. She was finally tired of it. She wanted them to never return, so the best thing to do was this. She had decided to spike Alexa's drink with a sweetener, which was actually a seed that could temporarily paralyze a person, as well as decrease oxygen to the brain.

When Laou stood up, and as Ivan's gaze tore into her, the Barmaid narrowed her eyes, "I just serve what's ordered, but it isn't unlikely to mix the drinks up. Perhaps I gave her a liquor she couldn't handle." She calmly began cleaning Alexa's glass, taking the girl's bag of coin, as well, for the trouble. "I'll be taking this, and you bunch have a wonderful evening."

After receiving the drink, Alexander replies to Ivan's question. "One of my clients told the City Guard that I would be there. I got jumped." He takes a swig of the potion and feels better than he did before. Alexander then sees Alexa pass out and goes over to her glass. He takes a sniff and sees Laou shouting at the Barmaid. Alexander decides to help. "Yeah, this doesn't smell like water. In fact, this smells a little like almonds. Cyanide, maybe?"

Ivan was beyond confused by what was going on, right now. They hadn't been in the bar for longer than ten minutes, and Alexa was already being targeted. I mean, it was nothing new, but this was the last place he expected it to happen. Laou was pushing the blame onto the Barmaid, and Ivana and Lilith claimed that Alexa either hadn't drank anything at all, or she was given a water as she had ordered. Ivan's gaze peeled at the Barmaid's body-language.

She didn't appear nervous... Then, Alexander caught a quick sniff of Alexa's glass before the Maid took it from him and began cleaning it. "C-Cyanide?... Are you trying to kill her?" he asked, specifically speaking to the Barmaid, but he wasn't confident that it was her who did it, since the group had been coming to this bar for a good while now. Just about every time they've ever visited the city, it was like a given that they would stop here. Plus, he kind of had a thing for the Barmaid.

You could call him biased. So, soon enough, Ivana stated that they should get Alexa out of the bar, and Laou picked the girl up from off of the floor. Ivan stood up, waiting for Laou to finish threatening the Maid, then he sent the Elf a nod, "I'll come... but..." He looked at his sister, then at the others, "Someone should stay and keep watch on the babe." Ivan said this quiet enough so that the Barmaid couldn't hear him, then motioned that they all leave, heading for the door, himself.

Laou looked around. Everyone had offered to go except Lilith. He could tell that nobody was willing to leave anyone behind, either. With both Ivan and Alexander offering to come with Laou and Ivana, it just left the blue girl. Goddamn it, that woman won't have an intellectual conversation at all.

"Richard is a doctor." Alexander said. Laou yelled at him in response. "Ivana's our goddamn doctor!" Laou slumped Alexa onto the floor. "I think you might have to take this one Ivan. I'm going to stay here with this barmaid. We're gonna have a nice chat." He said, crossing his arms.

 

[BlueJay1403]

"I mean a doctor who specialises in poisons. No offense was meant to you or Ivana, sorry."

Standing ahead of the others, Ivana stared back at them. "Richard is a doctor." Alex said after he put his hood over his head. "Ivana's our goddamn doctor!" Laou yelled, responding to Alex. Then he laid Alexa on the floor. "I think you might have to take this one Ivan. I'm going to stay here with this barmaid. Were gonna have a nice chat." Ivana walked over to Alexa to check if she was still breathing. "I mean a doctor who specializes in poisons. No offense was meant to you or Ivana, sorry." After checking Alexa's pulse, she was fine. "It's okay, but we need to get her back quickly. Ivan, you're picking her up right?"

​

Lilith almost couldnt keep up with everything around her, they were angry after all and the barmaid acted so indifferent and had the balls to take her money!?
"Oh HELL no!"
Alexa was in good hands and she knew that so she stood up and waited next to Ivana, staring down the barmaid. Everyones yelling and arguing was drowned out as her eyes scanned the many bottles and kegs in the bar, one bottle bursting suddenly as the sticky contents exploded right next to where the barmaid had been standing.
"Ill stay with you Ivana..im sure your brother and the others can handle it well enough. Besides..I think our friend deserves a refund for her drink.."
It was rare for her to show her anger but man she was pissed now. Not only was her friend poisoned but she was out her hard earned money and she couldnt just let it slide. That and she had never really been alone with Ivana or seen how she could handle a situation and if need be Lilith could be the "Bad cop" in this chat.

Turning around to see if everyone was following, Ivan saw only Alexander, who was hiding his horns. This caused Ivan to slump in the shoulders. He covered his face with a hand, then pat Alex on the head as Laou yelled at him, also putting Alexa back down. It was now his job to carry the girl. "Got it. Got it." Ivan waved a hand.

As he walked back over, lifted Alexa up from the floor and swung her over his shoulder, lightly patting the girl on the butt, he whispered up at Laou, "Don't do anything unnecessary. Try to keep things on the down-low, so that we don't attract the attention of City Guards. I'd rather not be chased out until we know Alexa's alright..."

After this, a dull expression was sent towards the Barmaid. Ivan stared at her, making dead eye-contact, and waited. His gaze looked to be undressing her from head to toe, then he met with her eyes once more and smiled brightly with a goofy salute, "Good luck to you... You're gonna need it." And with that, Ivan started back out of the bar, passing Alexander. He expected some to follow, and he expected some to stay.

His feet met with the dusty dirt-roads of the City, people scattered throughout, off in their own worlds. Some looked at him in questioning, and others appeared to show pity for Alexa. One woman could even be heard blessing the girl's poor heart, for she had drank too much. Ivan simply rolled his eyes, "You don't even know."

Alexa Day​

Alexa woke up to a sharp pain in her head. Her vision is extremely blurry, however, she can make out huge blobs. Slowly, it starts to clear up, revealing her floating, but feeling something hard against her chest.

What the fuck?

Alexa wanted to say that specific sentence, but she couldn't. It took her some time to realize that she's being carried by a man with white hair and a huge sword.

Ivan.

Again, she wanted to call out Ivan's name, but she was unable to. She tried squirming around, but she couldn't move. Heck, she couldn't even feel her body.

I'm paralyzed, she thought. Oh, shit. She can't really do much, since she's paralyzed, but she knows damn well that this looks extremely embarrassing. Alexa Day? Being carried by a male? What if someone she knows sees her, like John? If John saw her, he'll never live it down. He'll probably even draw a picture to capture the moment. And he's really good at drawing.

Why the hell am I paralyzed?

Alexa tried her best to recall what happened. She was at the pub, she got her drink, took a sip and--oh.

That motherfucker. She spiked her drink.

In anger, Alexa tried to screech and squirm around, trying to break free, but she was unable to do so. Again, she tried moving around her legs, and tried to break free. Minutes past by, and suddenly, she went back to normal. She accidently kicked Ivan in the face. "Let me go! LET ME FREAKING KILL HER!" She screeched. "I don't like being carried around, Snowflake-Head!"

Whoops. She accidently called him a nickname she's been laughing at all these years, but kept it from him. Now, she finally said it out loud. With screams of protest, a horrible realization dawned over her. Alexa's face flushed in the color of a redhead's hair, like Laou.

"I know this is embarrassing, being carried by a male... but not as embarrassing as being carried with a fucking skirt!"

You could say Yaretta was beginning to feel a bit nervous, but it didn't show. She was good with the Poker Face from all of the years she's spent gambling in the back of the bar, but hearing your heartbeat in your ears makes it hard to remain poised. She had to keep moving - She had to focus on anything but the "what if" kind of scenarios.

Ivan and his group were rumored in the Lower City to be bandits of a sort, but not your average. She was beginning to think otherwise, though. There was nothing for her to say, so she simply remained quiet. She needed to think of a plan; a way to escape, for her life was on the line, here. Or was it? Would they kill her? Would they take her away and torture her? The Barmaid's breathing almost began to deepen, but she calmed herself back down.

Random Update
Moments after Ivan exits the bar and Alexa wakes up, a loud thunder roars over the Lower City, and rain begins to pour. Everyone hurries to cover, merchants start closing up shop, and the streets slowly grow empty. The sky darkens, clouds covering the sun for all it's worth. Where the air was a gentle warmth, it was now somewhat chilly outside.

Laou, arms still crossed and self still angry, slowly walked to the bar. He sat down at it, noticing the barmaid's surprising calm demeanor. His rested his head in his right hand, tapping her fingers on his cheek in a row. Laou breathed out heavily. "Let's have a nice conversation then, shall we miss?"

Laou was just as angry as he imagined Alexa would be when she woke up. He was just imagining what Alexa would do to the barmaid. It made him smile a little. "I gave you a free show. Now you give me free reasons why I shouldn't kill you!" He said, banging his fist heavily on the bar. The customers fell a little silent, still talking but quietly.

Walking next to Ivan who was carrying Alexa, Ivana jumped backed after the girl suddenly kicked Ivan, and started yelling. "Let me go! LET ME FREAKING KILL HER!" Ivana quickly ran up to Ivan, to see if he was okay after being kicked in the face. Alexa seemed like she was fine. "I don't like being carried around, Snowflake-Head!" Ivana looked at Alexa who's face was completely red. Ivana chuckled at the nickname she had for Ivan. "I know this is embarrassing, being carried by a male... but not as embarrassing as being carried with a fucking skirt!" Ivana looked at Alexa and started to try and calm her down, "Calm down, we still need to go back to the inn. Ivan, are you okay?"

[BlueJay1403]

I followed the merry band out into the street and from my angle I could see Alexa's eyes move and speck, so I knew she was stirring. I also knew, however, that she would be angry as soon as she got her bearings. I sort of lag back until "Pop goes the weasel." Alexa bursts to life and there's a whole fiasco there. I walk forward and cast a short-term (60 seconds) calming spell. "Lento, Calmo"

"You now have about a minute to put her down before she riles up again."

​

It wasnt much longer until she realized it was just her, the barmaid and Laou left in the pub along with the growing number of bar patrons slowly making their way in from what felt like an oncoming storm. Her skin always got a tingling sensation when a storm brewed and brought a scent to the air. But she couldnt focus on that right now, right now it was the barmaid she was worried about. And she couldnt worry about having to be with Laou at this moment..not when it was Alexas life on the line.
"Well fireball? You going to answer the nice elf?"
Her eyes became piercing..almost cat like as she watched the barmaid and her every move, lifting herself on the counter in a nonchalant way and even crossing her legs where now her small dagger could be seen strapped to her thigh. This woman wouldnt scare her and she sure as hell wouldnt mind a chase if she wanted to run.

Ivan's blue eyes turned up towards the sky as it began to darken, clouds rolling in slowly. He hated the rain, and he hated wearing wet clothes. This would be fun... Note the sarcasm. Ivan suddenly found himself halting in his tracks - in fact, stumbling backwards a bit when Alexa woke in his arms. The heel of her foot had met with his face, causing him to bite down on his tongue.

He let out a grunt, then cringed at the drip-drop of an annoying ass pebble of rain meeting with his nose. "Fuckin' shit, Ale- Alexa! Alexa chill!" Ivan hollered, now beginning to grow soaked. At this point, thankfully, Alex stepped in and calmed her down with his persuasion technique. Ivan sighed and gently put the girl back on her feet, quickly stepping back a few miles while rubbing at his chin, "I'm the good guy, here. Jeez."

He shot a look at his sister and nodded, kind of exaggerating the initial effect Alexa's foot had on him, "I... I think I'll live. Maybe not, though. Alexa, here, seems to have her villains mixed up." Ivan hugged his sister, "This could be our last conversation."

Then, almost immediately after this little drama show of his, he stepped back towards Alexa and grabbed her by the shoulders, "Alright, kiddo. Just to make sure this stuff-" Ivan's voice lowered to a joking whisper for a moment, "which I'm sure is just alcohol and proof that you can't handle life, but- uh... ahem, anyhow..." then, he returned to speaking like normal, "To be on the safe side and make sure you're clean, we're going back to the Inn. Okay? Lilith and Laou have things under control."

Yaretta peeked at Laou through her peripheral, lightly scoffing at him through her nose, while continuing to wipe off dirty drinking glasses. She was not going to let him intimidate her... despite his enormous build and awkwardly proportioned sword. Were swords normally that big? Ivan's was big, too, but not that big... Okay, I'm falling off track here *wink*. Anyway!

In response to Laou, the Barmaid rolled her eyes up to the ceiling, then back down, stopping in contact with Laou's. She gave him a rather boring look, as if to say she didn't have time for his blah, blah, blah, blah. It's a Supernatural reference - Get used to it. She sat down the glass she'd been holding, and had probably cleaned, like... fourteen times now, then stepped closer to the bar.

Lilith spoke up in question, to which Yaretta's attention was turned. She caught a quick glance at the Moon Elf's dagger, then met her piercing gaze, only to look away as soon as possible. She was stumped on what to do. Perhaps telling them the truth would set her free?... Yes... That is what she would do. Perfect. As if on queue, the barmaid clasped her hands together at the same time as someone somewhere in the bar dropped their booze.

You could hear glass shattering, then a colorful array of murmurs and curses... and Yaretta suddenly disappeared. The only hint at where she'd gone was a door left rocking in and out, which she had immediately darted through in order to escape the pub through the back. So much for telling the truth, though. Yaretta was pretty much running for her life through the alleyways of the city, hoping her footsteps to be hidden by the loud rain.

Alexa Day
​

Alexa was relieved once Ivan let her down. Suddenly, he grabbed her by the shoulders. "Bro, what the--"

"Alright, kiddo. Just to make sure this stuff-" Ivan's voice lowered to a joking whisper for a moment, "which I'm sure is just alcohol and proof that you can't handle life, but- uh... ahem, anyhow..." then, he returned to speaking like normal, "To be on the safe side and make sure you're clean, we're going back to the Inn. Okay? Lilith and Laou have things under control."

W-what! Pfft! I-I can handle alcohol, Alexa thought, blushing, but after the events that happened, her confidence slowly faded away. She rolled her eyes. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't go over to the barmaid--"

Alexa's embarrassed face turned into a psychotic smile, "and kill her right now."

She reached for the silver knife in her belt, took it out, and started twirling it around. "Actually, instead of killing her, why can't I have a bit of fun? It was obvious that bitch did it on purpose. It wasn't just a simple mix-up! I can remember perfectly well that she dumped something in it with her dirty hands! Plus, alcohol is bad for us w--" Alexa stopped talking, clamping a hand over her mouth. She was about to reveal her secret. She didn't tell the legion that she's a witch, because she was ashamed of her race. Seriously, they did care for her and all, but still, who knows what they could've done to her when she was unconscious?

Nah. They wouldn't do that.

Pushing that thought of the way, she took a deep breath.

She's losing it. She doesn't want to kill people like last time.

"You know what, forget it. I lost my interest." She threw her arms up and started walking away, still a bit wobbly on her feet. Sure, it was a bit rude, but Alexa didn't care. With the feeling of a thousand knives getting shoved in her legs and head, she kept on walking, soaked in rainwater.

Laou noticed her lack of attention. He needed to make her care a little more. A lot more. Laou sighed loudly, and looked into her eyes, almost in pity. "I almost feel sorry for you." He said, swishing around a leftover cup of beer. "Now, may I ask something? Did you poison the barrel... or just her cup? Because if so... i'm gonna be feelin' it too." Laou turned to Lilith, who seemed to be threatening the barmaid. "If I faint... you know why."
