Waving back at Lily, the dark haired techie felt her glimmering cerulean hues roaming all over him. The feeling was mutual. Half shrugging his shoulders Eren replied to Lily,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"I'll take your word for it."</span>He was in no rush to dive right into the ocean. It was way out of his comfort zone! He would attempt to play it cool for now. Returning a broad smile he simply said,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Okay."</span>, to her invitation and followed with,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"I think it would be cool to kick back &amp; watch you guy's do your thing."</span>As the cinnamon haired brunette plopped down on the sand with her hair rolled into a bun; sipping her water as if she was advertising the product. Eren realized he didn't pack any of his own. He'd remind himself to ask for a bottle later.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">" It's because I thought you did a <u>damn</u> good job of being Bane, bro ! I just felt like ya' got robbed is all."</span>...The former phantom responded whole-heartedly, taking the wad of money directly out of Gordie's hands & placing it back into his wallet. Stifling his laughter, Eren finished making his rounds with his prize money as Gordie put on another act.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Heh. Classic. " </span>Once the sheet was down, he gave a playful bit down on his teeth, while gazing at Irene,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"But I do." </span>He commented with an air of arrogance in his smirk. Eren couldn't help but to let his golden eyes linger a little on the black tank top clad marine. After all she looked amazing !<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Thank you ! "</span><br/><br/>Still flattered by her praise, Ren tried his best not to seem bashful. Moments later Anna ambled over as Irene referred to their get-together as the,<b>"Gun Show"</b>. Everyone appeared to be looking their hottest.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Guess you can say, we came in,"</span>Struggling to keep a straight face, Eren cracked,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Gun's BLAZING !! " </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(204, 204, 204)">H</span>oping his joke was well received, as he gave Erin an uplifting nod for her equally goofy reference. Ren also noted Irene's injury, but made no word of that as the sun-kissed blonde had already covered it.<br/><br/>Watching Anna model the 'coral ' swim suit, Eren gave her a whistle of approval.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Hey, don't go putting words in my mouth." </span>He chortled, before his expression turned some-what confident,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Seriously though, that does sound like an interesting proposition.</span>" As she shook her head at him, Ren smiled charmingly at her & said,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"I'll get back to you on that later."</span>Leaving his offer on the table.<br/><br/>So far everyone minus Athena & Cammi had declined his offer. The latter was certainly more than well-off, as she put down $200 on the tab & treated<u><b>everyone</b></u>to drinks. And so he took Cammi off the list. Ren couldn't believe his new friends were turning down free money! On the bright side this showed him that they weren't money hungry urchins, unlike some of his old friend's back in Michigan. He soon found himself respecting them a little more.<br/><br/>Fist bumping the female Erin back, he felt their bond become that much stronger. A ghost of a smile formed on Eren's lips as he finally chimed in to answer Cammi's query,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"I'm with Irene on this one, I vote bon-fire ! We can toast some marshmallows, roast some hot-dogs, tell ghost stories &amp; play us some music ! "   </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(204, 204, 204)">Suggested Ren.</span><br/><br/><br/>At Anna's request, Eren raised a curious brow. Since when did he become<i>her</i>errand boy? Accepting the money, he realized he had two choices: Play it safe & get her<b>ANYTHING,</b>but a peach drink or take a risk and daringly challenge himself to WOW<i>her</i>for the hell of it. Option A was thrown right out of the window. Eyeing Cammi, as she revealed her milk chocolate complexion that complimented her black bikini, he winked at Winston. His facial expression was an open book that read, 'Bro, you are luck-y !!'<br/><br/>Spotting Lily in his peripheral as he trekked in the direction of the bar, Ren noticed that she wasn't able to reach a few regions of her body & thought maybe he could provide some<i>assistance?</i><br/><br/>[<b>At The Tiki Bar</b>]<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Yo. Barkeep!"</span><br/>"Aloha! Howsit, goin brudda?"<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Good. Good. So listen, uhh,"</span>Ren leaned on the counter,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"What kind of peach mocktails do you serve here? Can I customize an order?" </span><br/>"No way, read the sign mannn!" The darker asian began, telling Ren off as an additional $10 bill slid in his direction, pinned down by 2 fingers. Soon as his dark eyes made contact with the bill. He pressed a finger to his lip and pocketed the money. "Don't tell me boss, man. We're not supposed to accept tips or customize drinks 'ere. What<u>you</u>see - is what<u>you</u>get."<br/>Eren nodded.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Relax, dude. I won't rat you out."</span>"Ok, Ok, I see what I can do for you. I think me has got just the ting ! "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Make it a frozen drink too, bro." </span>Eren directed.<br/><br/>Acquiring the<a class="link link--external" href="https://imgur.com/a/xClPCWu" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Frozen Peach Bellini Mocktail</a>he traversed beach at a moderate pace and delivered the icy beverage to Anna. Moving away from the Georgian, he was drawn to Cammi as she mentioned something about modeling a clothing line.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Now, I won't model but if you want, I'm willing to help you promote your brand?"</span>With his web design skills, her brand would have her very own website in no time !<br/><br/><b>Tagging: <a class="username" data-user-id="31366" data-username="@LilGunner" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/31366/">@LilGunner</a> , <a class="username" data-user-id="18515" data-username="@BennyQ" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/18515/">@BennyQ</a> , <a class="username" data-user-id="37935" data-username="@IfIWereInYourShoes" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/37935/">@IfIWereInYourShoes</a> , <a class="username" data-user-id="35695" data-username="@di moon" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/35695/">@di moon</a> , <a class="username" data-user-id="21745" data-username="@Aluora" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/21745/">@Aluora</a> , <a class="username" data-user-id="4066" data-username="@True Grave" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/4066/">@True Grave</a> <a class="username" data-user-id="39216" data-username="@Pastel" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/39216/">@Pastel</a> </b>
