((It's got the word chocolate in it... of course it's dangerously good lol I don't have to taste it to know that))

"Nina Fields." Devin piped back at her with a grin tickling her sides again despite her swatting hands. "You know you love me! You just can't help it." He teased with a chuckle before snorting. "I don't know anything about James but Ian...? Yea he's bad. Not funny. He's a pain in the ass." He said, but the words said with no bite behind them. He knew Ian had heard him, not speaking low enough for his sensitive wolf ears not to pick up from where he sat nearby. The Beta snorted as he made a face at Devin.

"Yea, love you too Sterling! I'll remember that the next time you need me to fix up your house again. If something happens to your precious kitchen? Oops." He grinned an evil wolfish grin as Devin scowled.

"No you won't! I have a beautiful woman living with me now. Would you do that to her?" He asked as he tugged on Nina's hair playfully as Ian pouted, grasping at his chest.

"Oh no! How did you find out my number one weakness? Don't bring in the beautiful woman!" He declared as he winked at Nina and Devin snorted with a shake of his head. The wolf was ridiculous.


Sare laughed as she watched Lily with her uncle, glad to see her smiling and happy again. Iggy really was magic. At Lily's question, she shrugged. "Don't know baby girl. Looking around, I would think so, however." She told her with a smile.


Kyler made a face at her teasing before chuckling and standing up. "There better not be. And we need get home, you need to take your vitamins. Don't let me forget." He told her as he committed the drinks to memory before heading over to the table to retrieve them for them. He was tempted to have a glass of fire whiskey himself. From the looks of the men when they had returned, they didn't have good news. That meant that it might be a long night.

((Yeah....my boyfriend's sister gave it to me for my21st. My sister and I were drinking it tonight. Nothing beats strawberry daquries though. They taste like a slurpee....I was congratulated for downing 4 of them and not really feeling anything. Lmao....))

Nina giggled and rolled her eyes at the pair, letting out a small squeal as she was suddenly yanked from Devins lap and spun around. "James!!! You put me down!!!" She laughed as he gave her a playful pout.

"But whyyyy?! I was here first dammit...." he insisted but chuckled as he set her down and Nina immediately gave him a hug. He noticed her grip wasn't as strong as usual and that she'd thinned, even if it was only a few pounds it was obvious to him on her small frame. Obviously he didn't approve. "Bebeta...." he coaxed gently, using their word for little sister as she blushed and didn't answer him right away. He looked about ready to start in with Devin when Nina stepped back and blocked him.

"It wasn't him I swear to you...." she told him quickly, putting herself between the boys. "Its not what ye think....James please...don't."

"It better not be...." he told her but didn't make another move to Devin so she relaxed a little. Finally he looked back to Nina, questions in his eyes as she shook her head.

"Its not. James if it was would Iggy have let him stay. Think of that for a moment before ye start. Ill explain. Later. I promise....." she told him, relaxing fully once the tension began to leave his shoulders. She turned to Devin then with a sheepish smile. "Dev...this is James...he's a childhood friend of Iggy's and mine...." she told him, knowing full well what was going through James' head. He was comparing Devin to what she'd done in her time with Lennon. It wasn't anything like that, in fact Devin was always encouraging her to eat...but she couldn't explain it to him at the moment.


Lily nodded, taking a deep breath but frowned a little. "Nina is busy with James...." she bit her lip before looking to Sare. "Can ye tell Nena I'm ready?? I'll go get Nina...." she said, obviously trying to gear herself up.


Kai made a face at him before looking over as Cian laughed. "Oh? And what is so funny?" she asked, laughter in her own voice.

He simply grinned with a shrug, "Never saw you with a guy who was such a mother hen..." he shrugged, chuckling as Kai laughed.

"No shit...but Kyler has his reasons. I've grown used to it amazingly and he has actually calmed down since we began courting. He's overbearing sometimes but he always means well....one of us has to have a level head about things and we sure as hell know it isn't me...." She chuckled with a small smile. It brought her mind back to the other woman who'd held Kylers heart first but she shook it off. Not the time nor the place.....

((Ah, daiquiries are my favourite! My mother used to make the best ever! I swore she used to be a bartender or something. Her drinks were incredible. Hahaha I guess Riddles isn't a light weight huh? :P ))

Devin just grinned as he heard Nina giggling before laughing as she was swooped off his lap for a hug from one of the soldiers. Shit he was tall, as tall as Haven he would think. They were obviously close and Devin was glad to see that she had so many friends who loved and cared for her. What he didn't like, however, was the fact that the man zeroed on him with that look. He could understand him feeling protective and defending Nina, but he wasn't going to just sit there and take some bullshit for what he didn't do. So he tensed for some kind of fight, waiting to see if Nina could get him to calm down or not as his gold eyes met James's as the man challenged him. When the man dropped his eyes to Nina did Devin finally look away. He waited for introductions before nodding his head respectfully and holding his hand out. "It's nice to meet another one of Nina's friends." You could tell he meant it, knowing that if he had been a friend who hadn't known what was going on, he would have been worried as well. He could see the weight that Nina had lost, but he was working on it. She'd be healthy again in no time.


Sare smiled as she kissed Lily's cheek. "You're going to be amazing, baby girl." She told her confidently as she stood up after the girl did so she could go get Nina's mother so she could sit and watch the show. Walking over, she smiled sweetly as she clasped her hands behind her back. Like the Brann, she didn't feel the cold in the air around them, thankful that she was finally over being sick.


Kyler quickly figured out what was what as he poured the drinks and grabbed the fruit Kai mentioned. Walking back over, he handed Cian his before sitting back down next to Kai and handing her what she asked for as he kissed the top of her head with a smile.

((Not as much as I thought I'd be...hahah My friends applauded when I finished the fourth one :P ))

James nodded and took Devin's hand in his, "You as well..." He said simply, going to say more when he saw Lily suddenly beside them. His features melted a little as he looked down at the young girl. "Well hellp jingles!!"

Lilith giggled and rolled her eyes, "Jammmmes!! I came to get Nina..." She looked to her cousin with a small smile, "Come on!! Sare is getting Nena...but we gotta get ready!!" She tugged on her arm with another giggle.

Nina laughed a bit, looking between the boys though before nodding. "Yeah...okay..." She gave the boys one more look, making a face as James waved her away.

"Don't worry yer pretty little head lass..." He teased her lightly, "Not like I'm gonna scortch the boyo while yer dancin..."

"Ye better not..." She said simply, giving Devin a quick kiss on the cheek before heading off with Lily, leaving the boys alone as James laughed with a shake of his head.

Kora looked up with a smile as she saw Sare, "Yes dear??" She asked her sweetly, currently covering the plates of food so the bugs wouldn't get to it.

Bryce looked to the Beta couple with a smile, "From what I hear we're gonna have some entertainment tonight..." he mused simply, rubbing his girl's arm soothingly as she rested against him. He knew it was going to be a rough night for Iggy and for that matter Sare but he was hoping for the best. He had to...

((That's still pretty awesome! I'm somewhere in between. Certain drinks I'm a light weight with and others not so much. ))

Devin nodded his head respectfully at James before moving back. He chuckled as Lily approached before watching her tug his girl away as he waved at Nina with a grin as she kissed his cheek. He turned to James then and opened his mouth when he probably should have kept it shut. "All right, you can spit it out. Whatever third degree your gonna give me or threats of bodily harm." He smirked, not able to help himself. "I've heard it all already, can't be any worse then what I've heard already. Want me to give you a number too? I've got a line already going in case I fuck up."


Serephina smiled at Kora as she rocked on her feet. "Do you need help?" She asked politely. "And I've been sent by Miss Lily to tell you that her and Nina will be preforming their dance soon." She informed the older woman as she tucked a curl behind her ear.


Ian looked over at Bryce with a smile. "Aww, is my wit and charm not fascinating enough for everyone hear?" He teased with a grin as Adelle snorted and rolled her eyes. Betta just giggled as she buried her face into Bryce's arm, holding onto him tightly as she used him to fight off the cold.

"Please no more. I'm trying to have a decent night." Adelle groused as Ian pouted.

"But gorgeous! I am the reason you have a good night! Without my continual love and the presence of my male perfection, your life would be dull and complacent! I bring joy into your life!" He declared as she laughed, not able to help herself.

"You're ridiculous!" She exclaimed as she smacked his arm.

James was about to ask him if he wanted a drink when Devin decided to open his mouth. He just smirked a little, "You know...you've got an awfully big mouth for a dwarf of a man..." he said simply, "I'll keep it cordial because there are kids and its already a fuck up of a nigth but watch your damn mouth. You may not be a shifter from here, but I still hold no fear against you. Nor respect. Ye may be her' fer Nina but listen to me. Iggy and Kai will take care of ye if ye hurt her. Hell if Kora don't get te ye first. You run your mouth like that again and I'll make sure ye remember to stay quiet. Remember, you're not from here." He said simply, his low voice never raising but it rumbled. Obviously he wasn't one who needed much prodding to start a fight. Especially not tonight. To what would be Devin's surprise, Iggy was suddenly beside his childhood friend, resting a hand onto his shoulder.

"Enough. Go get something to drink....Don't start this tonight." He said simply, it taking a moment before James finally walked away to get something. Iggy looked to Devin with a shake of his head, "Ye really have a death wish sometimes I swear...." he mumbled, looking over to Nina, glad she was distracted with Lily for the moment. The last thing she needed was her beau starting in.

((-facepalm- Devin you're lucky he didn't slug you....))


Kora smiled, "Yeah, actually dear I would. That way this can go much faster and we can settle in that much quicker as well." She said simply, nodding her head to the lids off to the side, each one lined up with a dish. Her smile grew though as she mentioned the girls. "Right! Of course...alright, then yes quickly...." She laughed a little, obviously a little frazzled from what the boys had come home with.


"Sorry Ian but I think we'd all prefer a break..." Bryce chuckled, "You two haven't heard Nina, have you?" He asked them curiously, tugging Betta into his lap instead. Hey at least she'd be warmer then.

((I've noticed a lot of my men have that. The dumb boy syndrome. They open their mouths and nothing but stupid shit comes out haha.))

Devin didn't say anything. After all, he did say that he heard it all! He just figured it was best to get the threats out of the way now. You know... he was reallllly tired of getting threatened and people wanting him dead. It got old fast he noticed. It was kind of fun at first when he was younger. Spiced up his life. Now he just wanted to live a peaceful life with his mate where he got no death threats. "Dwarf?" Devin sighed. "I was hoping we wouldn't play the short card." He groused. He let the freakin' jolly green giant mumble and grumble some more before blinking in surprise as Iggy interfered. Yea... that part he hadn't been expecting. He watched the tall guy walk off before looking at Iggy. He snorted as his sharp ears picked up what the other man mumbled before shaking his head. "Yea, when people accuse me of mistreating my woman I get a little mouthy. It's a failing of mine. I'm constantly being reminded of just how I should probably keep my mouth shut." He admitted, not able to help himself. "He's the one who wanted to do the whole threatening scene earlier. I was just going to let him so we could get it out of the way. Then we could be best buds." The sarcasm was dripping from his voice.


Sare smiled with a nod as she moved to help the mother began to put everything up. She laughed quietly along with her as she turned. "Kora... do you think?" She didn't finish her sentence, however, as she shook her head. "Nevermind, it was stupid." She blushed as she turned around and continued to cap the containers.


Ian shook his head as he pressed a kiss into his wife's hair. "Nope! Are we in for a good surprise?" He asked as Adelle smiled.

"I heard Sare say something. She said Nina played at a bonfire while they were here last? She said she was amazing." She admitted as she watched Betta curl up in Bryce's lap happily as she nuzzled her face against his chest, obviously happy for his warmth.

Iggy sighed, looking back to Devin then, "Maybe sometimes you should listen. And really on this kind of night when we are all trying our hardest to stay calm and happy you really have to push it. He never threatened you until you initiaed it. In fact he was going to offer you a drink until you opened your smart mouth. You know her past. You should know why we're protective. I couldn't protect her last time. None of us could so fuck off with your damn insecurities. We have our reasons and from what I hear my uncle gave you permission for her hand. Be fucking grateful. No one fucking said anything." He told Devin flatly, really tempted just to land the kid in front of him. He blinked as Nina was in front of him, Kai distracting Lily at the moment.


"Knock it off! The two of ye!" She demanded, repeating it in English knowing Devin was going to start again. "Come on I'm sick of this! Iggy please...I don't need this and Devin you should know better!" She snapped, somehow keeping her voice down. "Please, can't I have one night with the two of ye not at each other's throats?!"

Iggy went to apologize when he found Nina's hand in his face, her other hand in Devin's before he could start. "No just....no. Figure this out. Children...the both of ye!" And with that she was gone, back over to Kai, Kyler and Lily with a somewhat forced smile as the young girl continued to explain to Kai what they were going to do.


Kora looked over curiously, "Nothing is stupid, lassy...come on now...tell mendra Kora what's on yer mind." She coaxed gently, nudging Sare playfully. She knew something was on the girl's mind, just not sure what yet.

Devin was going to quip back with some smart reply, not able to help himself, when Nina was suddenly there. He felt a quick stab of guilt but kept his mouth shut. He watched her leave before looking up to Iggy. Standing up, he bit the bullet first. His voice was serious now, lacking the humour or sarcasm from earlier. "Look, I'll be the first to tell you I'm a fuck up. Sheperd knows I can't stay out of trouble to save my life. I can't keep from instegating fights and keep my mouth shut. However, when someone questions how I treat my mate, I'm going to get upset. I understand you all want to atone for your past when you didn't get the chance to save her from what had happened. I get that, I'm not going to be your whipping boy though. I'm a wolf. We don't sit there and let you threaten us, it's in our nature to fight back. I understand political silence, but once more, it's not who we are. I just say that because I want you to understand how we function. I love that woman over there. She's my mate and my life. I'd do anything for her. That's why I'm willing to get whatever shit that's between us out of the way. She loves both of us too much for us to constantly fight. Sheperd knows she doesn't needed the added stress. We need a clean slate." He laid it out for him, being honest and up front with the other man.


Sare smiled before biting her lip. "Well..." she trailed off. "Well I actually had two questions." She blushed. "The first is rather serious but the other was silly. Do you think that they'll find the slavers? I mean... will... I mean..." she huffed in frustration with a frown, eyebrows furrowing deeper.

Iggy looked to Devin, his face blank like normal as he listened to Devin go on. And on. He had to keep himself from dazing off. Why did everyone get on him about being a dick to the little twad when there were twelve other things on his mind?! He did listen, however, but he had a few points of his own to make. "I'm not the easiest person to get along with. I recognize this. But know this. None of our group have accused you of doing wrong. Was I wary of you in the beginning because everyone could see you pine after Sare barely days before? Yes. Am I not the biggest fan of the constant whining? Yes. You know, Sare actually got on me about you the other day. About how I don't treat you the same as Kyler...well its simple. Earn my respect and I will. The whining and hiding behind the goading needs to end. I'm not out to get you Devin. You're right, I'm out to protect the girl as close to a little sister as I'll have. I've never seen her happier than she is now. You want a clean slate? Fine..." he held out his hand to Devin. It was his version of a truce. His voice never wavered and you could tell he was serious about what he said. He didn't mind Devin....but if he was going to gain his permission to marry his cousin he had to prove he wasn't this smartass with a big mouth like he had been. For whatever reason Nina was head over heels for the guy across from him. As long as he treated her right there'd be no issues.

((-flicks Iggy- stop being a pain in the ass.......))

Kora paused, taking Sare's hands in hers. "They'll have people out all night searching for those bastards and James and Cian will be staying with you, Iggy and the kids until they're caught. Once they're caught, which they will be, they will be prosecuted and this whole mess will be behind us. Don't you worry you're pretty head, lass....." she gave her a kind smile, giving her hands a light squeeze.
