Drinks (tag: open + Odette)

Odette frowned when she saw the exchange and then wondered if perhaps they had met before....it would make sense anyway.

Lina giggled at Eric's flirting with Rapnzel, knowing she would be utterly oblivious.

Jim just rolled hs eyes and didn't worry so much about Eric flirting, Punz wouldn't notice it anyway.
"Hey Odette," he spoke up and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "How's Doofus doing?"

*Rapunzel blushes and blinks at Eric before smiling again* How charming you are! ^^ My name is Rapunzel. *she noticed Eric's face get closer to hers and she blinks* O.O Oh! Are you okay???

She smiled at Jim and sighed, "Oh he's fine....I may have snuck out so I wouldn't be bored out of my mind but he's doing good." She said with a little smile on her face. "How are you?" She asked remembering their earlier conversation.

''Its a pleasure meeting you, Rapunzel'' He smirked, and brushed some of her hair... ''I'm better than never, Rapunzel'' he leaned closer and whispered in her ear.

Gaston took another drink watching Eric flirt with the naive blonde while being intensly aware of the boy with his arm around Blondie's shoulders.

He eventually just finished his beer and ordered another...

"I'm better, sorry about before and-"
Suddenly Jim slapped Eric's face hard, keeping him away from Rapunzel. "WHoa there lover boy, keep your hands to yourself and that whroe of yours," he siad with a twisted smile, putting himself bewteen his cousind and the innocent girl.

Odette couldn't help the giggle that escaped her as she watched Jim interfere and took a sip of her drink. She was starting to feel a little tipsy and her face was becoming flushed.

Lina blinked hard when Jim slapped the guy flirting with Punzie in the face. She leaned over Punzie's shoulder.

"Jim calm down, its not like he was offering to get them a room or something," Lina said sarcastically.

*Rapunzel giggles with Eric whispers in her ear* That tickles! XD Be careful when you do that! You could whisper to the wrong person and tickle their ear. D: *Rapunzel's eyes widen at Jim's move* Oh, you're cousins??? 8D

Gaston ignored the drama and turned to Odette, noticing how flushed her face was.

"Whos the kid?" he asked.

Eric smiled darkly when the boy slapped him... He looked around, and crossed his arms on his chest. ''You aren't in a place where you slap me and get fine'' He smirked, Jim worked him, and if his boss knew he mistread a costumer inside the tavern, he was sure the boy would get some trouble.

Odette turned to look at Gaston and smiled, "Oh that's Jim Hawkins...he works here and he's a really nice kid." She said and took another drink.

Jim ingroed what his cousin said and turned back to Rapunzel. "You really are too naive, you shouldn't let weird guys like this one touch you or be that close to you," he said calmly, dissming the other bhind him completly. "Odette. Don't get drunk. That red guy will rape you."

He didn't care of what the boy said, he wasn't worth of his attention tonight... He turned to the girl, smiling softly...
''Forgive the boy, sometimes he just do these things'' He said calmly, looking the girl intently into her eyes.

Odette blinked at Jim slightly confused, "Why would he do that?" She asked as she took another drink.

*Rapunzel bit her lip at Jim* Oh..I don't think he's weird! He seems nice. ^^ *she looks at Eric and sighs* Maybe he had his reasons? ^^;

''Well then, he just do such things to me, perhaps he's picking on me'' He smiled shyly shrugging, and looked to the group... ''You know, I want to go for a walk... Do you want to go with me??'' He said gently.

((just need to reply here xD))

Jim casually ushed Eric further away, blocking the older man's way to Rapunzel. "Just litsen to a friends advice," he smield at her and patted her head. "And don't go with him."
He looked back at Odette. "You ARE drunk aren't you?" he scowled. "By the way, who was the guy who made you think you came otu as a whore?" he asked suspicious while eyeing Gaston.

((now, I'M OFF TO SLEEP 8D))

*Rapunzel was about to take Eric up on his offer before Jim told her not to; she sighs and rubs behind her head* T-T

Gaston raised his eyebrows, "Why do you assume that?" Gaston demanded of Jim, "Thats ridiculous.."

Gaston flinched when Jim said he made odette feel like a whore, "When did I make you feel like a whore?" Gaston asked angrily, turning to her.

Odette flinched, "That entire conversation we had....I know you didn't mean too make me feel that way. I just over-reacted...honestly I tend to just make things way worse then how they are. I'm sorry Gaston...but I think this is my cue to leave." She said quietly and tried to get up only to collapse back into her seat.

"Woah!" Gaston reached out to stabilize Odette and warned "Be careful, you might have had almost two drinks there."

There was clear, yet light sarcasm in his voice.

Eric could punch Jim right on his face, but instead he continued calm, the boy wasn't worth tonight... ''Forgive me, miss... I don't want to bother you, or your friend right there'' He smiled shyly, and kissed her knuckles one last time... ''Hey Gaston, pay the beer I drank, okay?'' He teased the man, and left, glancing softly to Rapunzel as he passed the door frame.
