Barbetta shrunk under the harsh gaze of who she knew was Oliver and couldn't help but let out a shiver at James longing looking and just nodded at Oliver and began to nibble her sandwich again. She was saddened when the stress of meeting James had ruined the taste of an otherwise delicious sandwich. She looked around the bar watching as James went back to his red haired companion and then left with undisguised hostility. Barbetta caught the eye of the man working the bar and nodded when he raised an eye asking to join her.<br/>As soon as he finished his last order he said something to his fellow bartender and then walked to her table and sprawled in front of her. "So little Betta attracting a free meal again? to bad this one was from a creep." he winked at her and patted her hand with a warm smile. "would my sweet little sister like to know what the creepy man said to his friend?" As he waited he took a drink of the soda sitting in front of her.<br/>"Damien don't be an ass of course I want to know. I would hate to think they know where my real home is and wish to ambush me." She watched him drinking her pop and let out a bell like laugh, "hey now keep your hands off my rootbeer. I was going to actually drink it this time."<br/>As the two siblings laughed and talked the waitress walked back over and laying a hand on his shoulder, "Here Betta one free dessert from a creep. I honestly never would have allowed him to pay if I had known he meant to man handle you, but hopefully volcano cake will make it all better and if not well I am sure D will buy his favorite sister something else. We have a great soup today."<br/>The conversation flowed between the two humans and Barbetta until it was time for them both to get back to work. As he stood up Damien leaned forward and kissed her forehead, "run the few errands you have in town, but please return here before heading home. I would feel better if you would let me walk you home. That way if there is a threat waiting for you I can just sidetrack you to Polly and my house for the night...er morning."
