Milo raised his arms half defensively when Lucina began chewing him out for calling her out. He tried to meet her eyes, and as he did so, he only shrugged off her comments and stated, “It was just a question,” all the while sounding slightly offended, as if Lucina was the one that had said something wrong. He held his teddy bear close, almost as if he was consoling it. Once he was given the invitation to join the table, he dropped the act, and sat down amongst them.<br/><br/>He crossed his arms on the table and looked up at both of them as he rested his head on his hands. He then perked up once the two were finished talking, and sort of swirled one of his hands around, and looked at Lucina and Vicente. “And nothing says relax better than old fashioned alcohol,” he commented, taking the wine glass once it had been poured in and swishing it around as he circled his hand on the stem.<br/><br/>Back in Poland, they had one wicked brew of something that could’ve, and most likely was, stronger than vodka, which floored you with only half a sip. While he missed that, he supposed that taking part of the cultured lifestyle of wine tasting wasn’t a bad alternative. He eyed Lucina then, and said, “Drink up,” in a way that wasn’t entirely not sinister. He tipped his glass back, and then remembered that he wasn’t drinking hard liquor, and placed the glass down, unsatisfied.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Eli had taken his time descending from the building, not outright hopping down due to the fact that there were some stray pedestrians on the street, even this late at night. He had found an alley of sorts, grabbed hold of a drain pipe, and slid down onto the ground. He straightened himself and his clothes, as if he was making some sort of appearance. He strolled out of the alleyway in front of the two of them, arms slightly outstretched in an all about friendly away.<br/><br/>“Mariko! So nice to see you,” Eli said with a smile on his face. He then regarded Drake, and a sort of fake worry colored his voice. “Drake, you good there?” he asked with a smirk. He placed his hands in his oversized pockets. The small vampire saw that he was still moving, and also cursing, so he assumed that Drake for the most part was fine.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Eli grunted, and made a little motion with his hand. “I need that, thank you,” he muttered, happily accepting the boomerang from Mariko. Even though he had been aiming for the both of them, he had to admit that it was much funnier when Drake was the only one having a hard time. “So,” he asked, turning his attention to Mariko. “Hanging out in Daywalker territory, eh? Shouldn’t be really bringing fledglings in here now should we,” he commented, pointing to Drake. He was going to make some snide remark about the current gifted leader being a fledgling as well, but he didn’t want to push anymore than he had, and besides, he was generally curious as to what they were doing in the states.
