Devil's Nest [after graduation]

"That ceremony was almost as weird as Sophie-Anne's reception," Eric told Tiny as he came into the club a little bit late. "There were fewer decapitations this time."

High school kids. Hmph. What could you do?

He found himself a seat at the bar today and waited to see how many recent graduates would come in. He'd even offer to translate the insults the Vikings had been yelling at them if they could remember the Old Norse.

Just another Saturday night in Fandom...

Talk to Tiny for drinks and Eric for translations!

Where the music is playing the greatest hits of the last four years. Eric apologizes for the Taylor Swift.

If you want to hide from the crowds!

Vikings yay!

Marshall didn't generally drink. However, what he'd seen at the ceremony called for something stronger, and he knew there was a place in town that didn't card, so he decided to go there instead of returning to his hotel straight away. ...Of course, since Kate had scurried off-island with her boyfriend and wasn't there to advice her little brother, he picked the wrong place.

By the time he'd gotten an X drawn on the back of his hand he'd already accepted his fate. "Guess I'll just have an apple soda, thanks," was the mild request he made to Tiny. Who he was only somewhat intimidated by, really.

Eric smiled over at the kid. "Graduation or just really lost?"

Sookie came in, still in the dress she'd worn to the ceremony -- with all the signs of such -- and strode right over to the bar. "I have a question for you."

"I'm not lost," Marshall replied, a tad defensively. Also, holy crap, was it just him or was everyone here really big or really tall? "It was my sister's graduation."

"Now this is more like it," Isabela decided as she sauntered inside, casting a look around. The lack of corpses helped liven up the place. Little did she know.

No, it was no coincidence that she ended up beside tall and blonde. He looked very Ferelden in a way and she leaned her hands on the bar. "What's the strongest thing they serve here, handsome?"

"And is she meeting you here?" Eric asked.

"I didn't invite the Vikings," he replied immediately, accent stronger than usual.

Eric arched his eyebrows up. "Depends on what you're used to. I think we have some Everclear around."

Isabela laughed and glanced sideways at Eric. "All too often I don't want to know. I'm pretty sure some how those taverns think rat droppings are a necessary ingredient. As long as it doesn't make me blind, I won't complain."

"I think her boyfriend took her to Washington DC. I just came here for a drink." He raised his glass of soda at Eric. "Which I guess was a failure. But she deserved to get away after all... that."

"I'm usually the only Viking on the island," Eric agreed. "Who's your sister?"

"Don't pour it directly into your eyes and you'll be fine," Eric promised. "Are you here for graduation?"

"Guilty dogs," Sookie said, eyeing him with a raised eyebrow. "No, I was gonna ask you for a translation. What's 'fiðrildi' mean?"

Sorry she just butchered your native tongue, Eric.

"Butterfly," he replied promptly. "That's what your Viking said to you? Or are you planning to get a strangely archaic tattoo?"

Marshall let that Viking comment go with nothing more than a slight raise of his eyebrow. Seriously, his brain was on overload as it was.

"Kate," he said. Then, realizing that might not be enough, since it was kind of a common name, "Uhm, Kate Gregson?"

"Graduation?" she asked and shook her head before she ordered that Everclear stuff.

"Since I don't know what you're talking about, I'm taking that as a no. I got stranded here. Quite literally." She turned her back on the counter, resting her elbows against it in a position that she knew very well tended to accentuate certain features. "Are you here for this graduation thing?"

"I mind-tricked him," Sookie said, shaking her head. "You know, tapped into his brain and made him calm down. Apparently he found butterflies very calming."

"Oh, I know Kate," Eric said, sounding decidedly warmer.

"That's...special," Eric decided slowly. "Butterflies? Really?"

Well if she was going to put them out there, naturally he would look. It was only polite.

"No, I live here," he said, "but the island is practically overrun with teenagers. They go to school in the castle."

"He also didn't like his wife. Look, I didn't put the butterflies there," Sookie said, waving a hand at him. "Now, do I get some kind of graduation shot before I have to go deal with my brother again?"
