Ramon's in the bar early, despite wishing he was still upstairs. But, things to do, and there are reasons why it's not a good idea to have weapons in his room right now. Something to do with the company.

Anyway, he's cleaning three pistols, a rifle and his sword. Bit tricky when one arm is virtually out of action but hey, he's got time and nothing else to do right now. Distractions would be welcome though.

Melou is in the bar again, despite lack of actual entrance post. He is, of course, drawn by the shiny objects, most notably the sword. The pistols and rifle confuse him a bit.

"You hurt your arm?"

[latino_menace]

Ramon looks up and for once, doesn't wince at being near a child. He'd quite liked Melou, insofar as he likes anyone.

'No,' he says drily. 'Someone else hurt it.'

Which is true enough, if pedantic.

[dragon_twin]

"Were you in a fight?" Melou is eyeing that sword with great eyeing. His own is nowhere near that nice.

[latino_menace]

'Mmmhmmm,' he confirms languidly, trying to keep a grip on the hilt with the injured arm and run a cloth down the blade at the same time. If Melou looks, he'll be able to see that the darkness at the end is dried blood.

There's a nod at the other side of the booth. 'Sit down if you like. How was your hangover?'

The boy's interest in the sword hasn't escaped him. He approves of that sort of interest actually. He's not really the type to tell people to be careful around weapons, even kids.

[dragon_twin]

Melou sits, folding his legs up so his chin rests on his knees.

"Not so bad. Made my brother's life miserable the day after, but that's nothing new." He grins. "Did you win?"

[latino_menace]

'Of course.' The implication that he might have not is enough to earn Melou a raised eyebrow.

'I'm still alive, that's a good indication. Unfortunately the other person is too but she's in the cells so not entirely a waste, I would say.'

He swears as his grip fumbles and the sword swivels away from him. 'Fuck.'

[dragon_twin]

"You fought a woman?" Melou raises an eyebrow of his own.

"Need some help? I've cleaned plenty of swords before."

[latino_menace]

Ramon watches him for a moment, lighting a cigarette as he does. Then there's a one-shouldered shrug and he rotates the sword on the table so the hilt is pointing towards the boy.

'Hang on to that. Tight, I don't want it slipping, this isn't a normal sword.' He stares at the dried blood and curses that he hadn't done this while it was wet.

'Yeah, it was a woman. Both of the recent ones actually. Why, you have a problem with that?'

There's now a black cat watching the weapons with interest as he pads closer. He blinks oil black eyes at Ramon with a tilted head. Curiosity is a cat's best friend, no?

[latino_menace]

Well, that depends on the cat. Ramon doesn't like them as a rule. He is one sometimes but that's a whole other matter.

The creature is eyed carefully. The last time he treated a cat as just a cat, he was almost killed. He won't make the same mistake twice.

[queens-darkness.livejournal.com]

A cat who doesn't like cats is an odd creature.

The black cat blinks at Ramon for a minute before jumping onto the table, making sure that he's careful of everything on it. There's another tilt of a dark head. "Merrow."

[latino_menace]

He doesn't mind the sort that he is. Big and violent is fine. Small ones, he just doesn't see the point of.

There's a frown at the thing as it jumps on to the table. 'Want something, puss? I haven't got any food.'

Polite, until he can work out if this thing is just an animal or not.

[queens-darkness.livejournal.com]

They're good for cuddling! And it's always been said that petting a cat is therapeutic.

There's a dismissive flick of his tail. He then glances at the sword with a clear interest and moves a little closer to it. He's giving the guns very little interest.

[latino_menace]

Ramon doesn't cuddle!

...of course, Random might beg to differ but that's a whooooole other thing.

He sticks a hand out to cross the creature's chest. 'Stay away from that. Hard enough to clean without getting cat hairs all over it.'

[queens-darkness.livejournal.com]

Everyone eventually breaks down to cuddle. It's just a matter of who or what gets them to do it!

The cat stops and watches Ramon a moment. If cat's could raise eyebrows, he would be doing so right now.

And then, because Doyle was never really good at taking orders from anyone but Queen Andais, his paw is reaching out ever so slowly towards to sword.

Arithon is, supposedly, in Australia. As result of slowtimed threads from last night.

Otherwise he would totally be there to inform Ramon that he did talk to Yrael and that Mel is also going to help against Desh-theire and wait for the explosion.

Begging the question: if Ramon gets mad enough without being violent, would he still turn into the kitty?

[latino_menace]

...mun is dead from laughing. But in answer...possibly? But probably not, as Ramon can deal with things that get rid of the mistwraith. He just won't say thanks or anything.

[ooc: Ashie here...at uni, so on-off a bit, but seeing as Ramon is talking to one twin he might as well get the other.]

The sword is being eyed by a fourteen-year-old prince. No, not the one Ramon is currently handing alcohol to; this is his identical twin brother. Different clothes (Melehan only has trousars and a loose, undyed shirt one), but same features.

"Nice sword."

[latino_menace]

[OOC: Awesome, didn't know you were his mun mate. :)]

Ramon blinks a bit, he can't remember if Melou said his brother was a twin or whether this is him again just being odd. But no, different clothes.

'Yeah it is. You must be the other one, I'm guessing.'

[pendragon-son.livejournal.com]

[ooc: ahahahahaaaa...yeah. My idea, actually. Because I am INSANE]

Also, this twin? Has a sore back. Very sore, seeing as he got whipped the other day. The monks are very protective of their books.

"Aye, Melehan. And you are?"

[latino_menace]

Ramon's eyebrow goes up at the forthright asking but doesn't comment on it.

'Ramon Salazar. I've met your brother a couple of times.'

[pendragon-son.livejournal.com]

A little grin.

"Ah. You were the one to get him drunk."

[latino_menace]

'Yeah, I guess. He thought he was a big man and could handle it.'

He eyes Melehan languidly.

'Why, you want to try now?'

[pendragon-son.livejournal.com]

"Not really, I was just commenting." Melehan is the sensible twin, clearly.

At least where books, revenge and rebellion are not involved.
