Thread: There Is a Light this Darkness Can't Hide. [Wreckles & Dreamer-]

It was impossible not to shoot a painful smile towards the female in front of him but instead of dismissing it Hugo continued to build on the little joke. When I was little and visited a circus a clown once dropped a ball on my head so I've never trusted their kind to begin with. He made a pause and exhaled Jokes aside, it's not everyday you cheat death like that. I was sure someone was going to die... Letting his voice trail off Hugo rubbed his chin upwards and stared directly into the girls eyes. Name's Hugo. I'm glad you didn't get shot. Dreamer huh? You're officially the first person I met who had a name like that, easy name to remember though. A playful grin snuck into his features before continuing. I'm not too fond of being in the middle of this, and I could use a drink to calm my nerves. I know a cozy little place not far from here, first rounds on me. Without really giving Dreamer much time to contemplate his offer he took her small hand and more or less pulled her away from the scene, flipping up the barrier tape and lead his newly aquired company beneath it. He was taller or equal to most of the crowd that had gathered and bulldozed a path through the curious onlookers, a couple of meters away he saw a reporter filming. The buzzing of the crowd was almost louder than his thoughts but they stepped aside as he lead Dreamer carefully in tow. As soon as they were out in the open again he let go of her hand as he looked back and flashed her a grin. It's just two blocks away, I took my motorcycle here but I doubt it wuld be possible to drive with all these people, and no doubt the police has stopped traffic. Shoving his hands into his pockets Hugo knicked with his head, motioning for Dreamer to follow if she so desired. Now that they were out in the open he could see Dreamer in a way he could not before, how one could miss those radiant eyes of hers was beyond Hugo. Not to mention that he could not remember the last time he had seen someone that could rival the impressive lenght of her hair. Are you from around here? He broke the silence as they started walking, following the sidewalk. Hugo walking just slightly ahead of her, having always done that, it was a sign of leadership - knowing where to lead his pack. Patiently Hugo listened to her, trying to place the look of her face when they were held down during the bank. The look in her eyes back then... If Hugo was not mistaken she was planning on doing something just like him. Just having reached that verdict made him respect Dreamer a little more than before, she held her composure well considering that five minutes ago she was under threat of a gun. Realizing he had been silent while contemplating, Hugo looked up at the sign hanging above their heads just a few meters ahead. Honeybadger pub. Always makes me think of a intoxicated honeybadger... Sneering at Dreamer to see if she would find his little amusement funny. Opening the door to a rather dim but cozy looking place, furnished in the style of a 1800 establishment - Hugo made a small geasture. Ladies first. As he stepped over the threshold and giving the room a quick survey, not many people here - perfect. He motioned for the red sofas in the back of the room but not before giving the barkeep a familiar nod and making the V sign to him. The barkeep, a rowdy looking man with an impressive mustache and an equal impressive beer-belly nodded back to him, acknowledging his order and started filling two large glasses from the taps. Hugo dimped down on a couch and watched Dreamer closely as she sat down in the one opposite him. Making himself comfortable, it was clear that Hugo had been here many times before as the barkeep came up to them with two large pints of beer and placed them down on the table. Did you hear what happened only a few blocks away sir? There was an attempted robbery at the bank! In broad daylight! What has the world come to? The barkeep looked considerably worried at this thought but Hugo held up his hand and calmed him, Thanks Marv but not now. The barkeep looked taken aback at his words before turning his gaze over to Dreamer and instantly regained his composure and made a formal bow to her. Oh where are my manners, Marvan Jouster - at your service Milady. Just let me know what you'd like and old Marv shall do his best to accomodate. Hugo just smiled at the scene, Marvan was a genuine nice man, but secretly he just wanted to see how Dreamer acted in front of other people. He caught himself starting to note more and more details about her, but more than that - he finally saw how cute she was.
