"who else could it possibly be? you have another son out there i don't know about, jugador?" the young dragon chuckled proudly, the idea wasn't too far fetched. he entered the room, greeting his father with a grin as he ignored the men leaving the room.

"i told you not to go with a three piece suit, maybe next time you'll listen to me, jag."

what was a peaceful smoke in an alley ended up being more than he signed up for, although just as he was about to move on to another spot he stilled, the scene in front of him had gotten more interesting. the dragon leaned against the brick wall, bringing the cigarette to his lips to take another drag. "yeah, actually, i did. do you go around kneeing kids in the groin often?"

She had thought she was alone, that she had slipped out unnoticed, which had truthfully been wishful thinking considering the scene she and Abel has just made so when that familiar voice rang out, she could physical feel her heart skip a beat, hands shooting up to wipe at the tears that continued to fall. As always the mask was being put on, attempting to shield her features as she looks away from his direction but it was too late, he had seen and by the tone of his voice the second time he asked she knew he wasn't going to just drop it and so she turns to look at him, dark tear-filled doe eyes peering up at him as her lower lip protrudes ever so slightly in a pout and her brows creased downwards. Abel's words still echoed loudly in her mind and she couldn't help but feel as if her feelings didn't matter, as if somehow she was wrong for being upset that he couldn't even spare two days out of three hundred and sixty five to be here and celebrate not just her college graduation but their younger sisters high school graduation too. "I don't want to talk about it Seb," Oaklee answers, just because she knew he wasn't going to let it go didn't mean she wasn't going to try. "How was the tour? You have a good time?"

since the day he met her, he'd been drawn to her, wanting to figure her out. she made doing that the hardest task, and that only made him want it even more. he thought they'd made some progress and maybe they have but he couldn't stop his teeth clenching as she dismissed him. she was a fortress, a stronghold, so beautiful with all of her sharp edges. he knew those edges well, not only from their time together but because he had edges of his own, armor made to protect themselves. oaklee campbell was the strongest person he knew, and the most fragile, breaking in front of his eyes while trying to hide the cracks. he took in the sight of her, and had to look away, breaking their eye contact to take in a deep breathe to keep himself from biting back at her. "don't do that shit, campbell. the tour was like every other tour, and i'll tell you all about it after you tell me what's going on with you." seb scowled, his tone sharper than he intended. hearing them himself, he took another breathe before returning his dark hues to meet with hers once again. "who?" it was all he said, not needing to give anymore context for her to know what he was asking her, although he had an idea of who did this he wanted to hear it from her.

"and that's why you don't button up to your collar." sebastian cut in, eyeing his father who was currently cramming appetizers into his mouth. the young dragon scoffed, extending his arm and offering his hand in a silent greeting. "maybe later, you have at it though, but--give it here, old man. how the fuck have you been? missed me any?"

"here i am, and-- hey!-- watch it, fucker." he twisted in his uncle's grasp until he was able to weasel his way out. "the hairs all apart of that whole rockstar thing." he quipped, grinning as he ran his digits through his hair for it fall back into place. "why would anyone want to arrive to this on time? minus the free booze, this is the most boring party i've been to." almost as if on queue, the older dragon handed him one way to solve a boring problem. "you need to catch up, i've been pre-gaming." since about noon, but he wasn't going to mention that.

He picked up on it immediately, and he was more than happy to play along. "Sure; the one and only. You a fan?" He asked, shoving his hand into his pocket to pull out a light for her, a slight twitch of his eyebrow, subtling questioning her. He had to know if she's seen jagger yet.

with how tense things were inside, he had not been surprised when he looked out into the gardens and spotted a head of familiar golden blonde hair. he stopped a nearby waiter with a tray of champagne, plucking up two glasses with a cocky grin painted on her lips and then headed back out into the gardens. "you would think world war three was about to start with the way people are looking at each other in there." he joked, a soft chuckle following only to be silenced once he was moved around the bench and could see her face, and the expression on it. "what happened?" his tone was cold, but his eyes had a fire in them. seb's digits twitched around the glasses in his grasp, wanting nothing more than to be rid of them so he could wipe the tears from her cheeks and cause pain to whoever did this. "oak, what happened?" he repeated once more, impressing that this was not going to be one of those situations where she can skirt around it like she usually does.

"shut your whiny ass up, we both know there's more here than just some liquor." the dragon shook his head as he teased jagger. seb had no problem acquiring top shelf liquor, they did not need some stuffy political party for that. no his reason for being here had more bite than any decades old bottle had. "that's all for the after party. oh wait-- shit, you didn't get the after party invite? that sucks man, don't worry, i'll tell you how it goes."

"Zera was right, you are all a good looking bunch," he nodded, wondering how a single family could get hit with the good looking stick. Either way he didn't care enough to think more about it. "Ronan Parker, I'm an old friend of Zera's"

"zera said that? my aunt zera?" a brow arched in suspicion at that, he couldn't tell yet if this ronan guy was to be trusted since he's never heard his aunt mention that name before. "friends? no offense bro, but you don't really look like her type. if you're wanting me to tell you where she is, you're out of luck. i don't believe in tracking dragons, especially not one i call mi tia."

"hey! watc--" the warning was cut short as he rushed forward, pulled her back onto the sidewalk and out of the street and the way of the car that must be a tourist driving around with how fast they were going. he knew she was strong willed, almost too strong willed to the point where it made his teeth hurt but to walk out into the streets without paying attention had his blood near boiling. "what were you fucking thinking? have you ever heard of looking both ways first, or simply paying attention to your surroundings?" how stupid and reckless, he thought, and then another thought crossed his mind, why did it anger him? why did he care? if she wanted to risk her life than so be it, right? she wasn't his responsibility. this girl hated him and was not shy about it, and yet he couldn't let her get hurt.
