The elusive Salem Smith wasn't one to stop in a bar and just go drinking for a night. He would much rather have been home with his little girl reading her a story or watching a movie with her or something different. However, there was work to be done and contacts to address, and hopefully this one wasn't going to back out on him, like a considerable number had been doing over the last few weeks- or had it been a month or more? Salem couldn't even remember anymore.
As he walked up to the bar, Salem looked up at the sign before slowly and somewhat tentatively entering. He didn't usually drink and didn't want to get tricked into spending money that he didn't have. Thus, he had to focus on the mission at hand. Yes, he would do that. The brush of air that came from entering was cool, but Salem ignored it.
Almost instantly, blue and purple splashed eyes looked towards the bartender focusing in on his face only to find that it wasn't whom he was looking for. A deflated sigh escaped from Salem, and he stepped sideways and out of the way of the door. That... that wasn't whom he was looking for. He... why wasn't he here? Where was that man? Where was the contact that--? Salem's information was never wrong. Never. What ... why?
What Salem didn't know was that only an hour earlier, Lyall had decided to take off with a few of his friends and had planned to be back later. Slowly walking towards the bar, Salem leaned over it rather easily after a moment and addressed the man that was working there. "Excuse me~" he hummed lightly causing the bartender to look over.
"Ya what can I get you?" was the question that was asked as the bartender turned himself around to face Salem. As soon as he saw the man, the bartender froze. Wasn't that? No it couldn't be... could it?
"Nothing drink wise, but I would like to know where the owner is," Salem hummed causing the bartender to freeze. Turning his head to one side, Salem offered a smile which caused the bartender to physically fidget before stepping back and forwards again.
"He said he'd be back later," the bartender said rather quickly. "He went out for something, I think..."
...Sigh. That was.. disappointing. Salem hated when people weren't where they were supposed to be. Then again, he really shouldn't have been one to talk considering it was more than hard to try and find him on most days.

Carly had finished about half her drink when she heard a man ask the stand in bartender where the owner was. Curious, Carly listened to the conversation between him and the bartender well. She couldn't say she knew who the guy was that had the bartender so obviously flabbergasted but hey he was kinda cute~. "I know where he is~,"Carly piped up, hoping to draw the man's attention,"Why you wanna know? He's not in trouble is he?"she asked curiously. Yes it was true she knew where Lyall was, and even if she didn't Carly could find out easily enough but she sure as hell wasn't going to give that information to a complete stranger. Even if he was a rather ... cute ... stranger ... come on focus Carly ... focus. Heh, easier said than done considering she was just beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol ... she really needed to slow down.[/scrolly] |

"Oh really?" he hummed lightly looking over the girl... woman? Teenager maybe. She was short, that was true, but she seemed to be protruding from the -ahem- chest area a bit more than would be normal for a young girl... maybe steroids, hah as if anyone had the money for such anymore. The questions she had posed to him were also more mature than those that he would expect from a child, but then again, he was comparing her to Brina who was, in fact, six. After a moment he let out a quiet hum. "Oh, not really in trouble per say," he answered back musically. Yet. He wasn't in trouble just yet. If the man turned out to be someone who was about to try and abandon the rebels there would be hell to pay, but Salem wouldn't go there just yet. "And who would you be, Miss?" he asked lightly.

There was something in his tone that Carly couldn't quite put her finger on ... nyaaah, forget about it, it could be the drink talking for all Carly knew. Taking another sip of her strawberry concoction, Carly set the drink aside for the time being when the man asked her name. Well, his exact words were who she was but that could be just as easily answered with her name now couldn't it. "Well, I could tell you my name but that'd make it easy now wouldn't it~,"Carly teased, smiling at the man,"I have an idea, you can tell me who you are and then I'll tell you who I am. That or you could try guessing my name. Besides, I have a feeling the owner is gonna be gone for a while yet ... unless I call him of course~." Carly was having way too much fun with this little game of hers truth be told, but if the man wanted to see Lyall before it got too late then Carly could always text Lyall with some made up story about an emergency at the bar. Heh he would come running then for sure~, yeah Carly would get yelled at for playing such a trick but it was all in good fun~. Besides, Carly was supposed to annoy Lyall sometimes at least, that was what being a little sister was~. [/scrolly] |

Salem half smirked and half-smiled at the reply that was given. Moving over, he put a hand to his chest and gave a light bow. "Oh, how rude of me. My name is Salem," he answered back earnestly enough. Like the cat and the town... he mentally chuckled to himself but didn't say this part. It was his own private humor of sorts. There was a reason he allowed his daughter's name to be Sabrina, if only for a humerus one -oh and the fact that he liked the name, of course. After a moment, he seated himself down in the seat next to Carly and offered a crisp cool smile. He wasn't in to playing games with children -girls, whatever Carly happened to be, unless it was with Sabrina, and his first name didn't matter too much anyways.

She wasn't quite used to such treatment but she certainly wasn't going to complain~. "Nice to meet you Salem, I'm Carly,"she replied easily, giving a small bow/curtsy of her own before Salem sat down beside her. Taking another sip of her drink Carly looked back at Salem,"So if he's not in trouble whatcha want to see him about?"Carly asked, genuinely curious. After all, it wasn't very often some hot guy walked into her brother's bar just to see him. Carly couldn't help but be curious about the reason as to why. It was in her nature to be curious after all considering her line of work, but Salem didn't need to know that. Now if Lyall would just let her actually do something to you know, actually help everything would be just wonderful~.[/scrolly] |

"Oh he owes me something that I've come to collect," he answered back incredibly ambiguously but still worthy of reply. To the less bright, it might just mean money or some material possession, but to Salem it meant loyalty which was the only thing he cared about when it came down to it: direct loyalty to the rebels. "But sadly, he's not in," the silver haired man sighed a little but kept his smile. "I really wish he would have been ready for me to come, but ah well..." he sighed a little trying to defuse his own anger. "So by what means do you know the owner? Is he your man, perhaps?" he asked with a light grin. She was blond, and thus, he didn't actually assume any relation at that moment.

Her mind raced as she tried to think of anybody that her brother owed money to ... nah that couldn't be the case, Lyall was pretty much rich considering he owned a bar. Still ... if Lyall owed this man something then Carly was certainly not going to bring Lyall running if Salem was going to hurt him or anything like that. Taking another sip of her drink, Carly listened as Salem continued and wondered if Lyall had gone out on purpose to avoid meeting this man entirely. Well ... perhaps she could protect Lyall from Salem if she offered to give him whatever Lyall could possibly owe him. "What exactly does he owe you ... ?"Carly asked in a more cautious tone, though she tried her best to keep her smile, completely ignoring the last question for the time being. Carly sure as hell wasn't going to let that information slip if this man was supposedly a danger to Lyall.[/scrolly] |

Her question on what was owed only confirmed it in his mind. "It's confidential," he stated back flatly before leaning over the bar and actually considering ordering something. He could use some sort of soda or maybe just water at the moment but he was pretty sure the tender would spit in his drink for ordering something so trivial at a bar. "Sorry, but I don't give information like that out to people," he explained a bit softer toned after that -keeping his smile ever there.

Confidential now was it~, well that would just make this all the more challenging and fun. Taking another sip of her drink, Carly studied Salem for a moment before hearing his latter statement or rather apology. "Understood, I get it really. If it's that big of a deal you don't want information getting in the wrong hands,"Carly replied easily,"Can you at least tell me if this 'thing' that he supposedly owes you is something that I can give in his stead?"she continued before studying Salem to gauge his reaction. This man was becoming more interesting by the minute, and if he had this huge secret well then, so much the better~. Carly enjoyed mysteries, thrived on them actually ... , some days finding a good mystery to unravel was the only thing that kept her sane.[/scrolly] |

"You certainly seem to care quite a lot," he noted back flatly. "But alas, you cannot because I work strictly person to person, you see..." he hummed a bit gently before looking forwards again. "Bartender, I'd like cream soda please. Just straight from the can if you would," Salem called causing the bartender to stiffen again before looking towards Salem and nodding slowly. The man shifted under the bar and pulled out a can before setting it on the bar and muttering something along the lines of 'on the house' before quickly shuffling away again. Salem sighed at the man's motions and shook his head gently before picking up the can, opening it with ease, and taking a sip.
"So Carly, do you frequent this bar often?" he asked somewhat absentmindedly -or at least he appeared to. In truth, he was analyzing -though not interrogating, heh. If this girl was connected to Lancer in some form or another, he wanted to know about it and maybe pull a few strings and get her into the system, heh.

Pfft anyone with eyes could see that she was close to him. At the answer back that Salem couldn't tell her about the 'thing' that Lyall owed him, Carly fought the urge to roll her eyes. Salem was just making the game more fun that was all~, Carly wasn't about to let so juicy a secret get away from her. "Person to person meaning you intend on harming him or wish to talk to only him ... ,"Carly asked before taking a sip of her drink and continuing,"From the look of you I would say it's the latter but I still fail to see why you can't describe this 'thing' at the very least,"she continued in a calm voice.
When Salem asked for a cream soda Carly fought the urge to laugh ... she hadn't pinned Salem for the type who would drink cream soda of all things. They were in a bar for crying out loud and of all the things he could have asked for it was cream soda? Sure Carly had asked for strawberry soda at one point but she had had a good reason for it. Mmm, perhaps this was a business associate of Lyall's and he wanted to have a clear head. But he certainly wasn't here about the establishment and insisted that he only talk to Lyall. That meant that Salem could be connected with the rebels ... if that was the case then Carly certainly wasn't going to waste her time judging what the man drank of all things. At the question, Carly laughed, of all the dumb questions to ask that was certainly the best one so far. "Of course~, I know the owner as I said before and in my opinion this is the best bar in town. Not to mention it's fairly close to home which is a plus,"Carly explained easily. The being close to home was certainly a plus considering Carly had an extreme phobia of the dark ever since ... well ... let's not get into that right now. Yes, Carly knew she was still being vague about her relationship with Lyall but hey if Salem did intend to harm him well ... she wasn't going to let that happen now was she~.[/scrolly] |

After he was sure she was finished speaking, he hummed a little softly and shook his head a bit. "Person to person also means that he's a friend of mine and that we don't spill words that are personal to strangers, especially if this stranger knows the person in question," he replied flatly before chuckling a little. "I have no intention of harming our favorite bar owner, but the fact that you bring that up claims you're suspicious of me...which... I don't mind really, but it makes you seem more hostile than a nice young lady like yourself out to, in my opinion anyways..." he chuckled a little and offered another better smile of sorts.
As Carly explained her reasoning behind the bar, Salem chuckled a little more but nodded his head. "Alas I don't have the latter," he made to fake sigh. This Carly was certainly interesting enough, if a bit more paranoid it seemed than what he was used to, but that was never too bad when it came down to things. "It's somewhat sad to come all the way out here and not find whom I was looking for," he hummed sweeter still. "Bartender~ Another drink on me, anything this nice miss wants" the silver haired man called causing the bartender to stiffen a little. 'On me' pretty well meant free at this point, and the bartender knew it a little too well considering he knew whom was addressing him. After a moment, the bartender wandered back over and asked if Carly wanted something different.

Well, if that was the case Carly certainly wouldn't have a problem with calling Lyall back early~ it would certainly be amusing to say the least of things. As Salem continued to speak more or less accusing Carly of being hostile, Carly couldn't help but smile and shake her head. "Nah, I wasn't being 'hostile' as you so bluntly put it, just protective. But hey that's what sisters are for hmm?"Carly replied easily before realizing what she had just said. ......... oh shit ......... that had not been what Carly was intending to say at all. Ugh ... oh well, Salem knew now and probably understood why she was so 'hostile' to begin with. When Salem once again lamented how far the trip had been for him Carly shrugged, she couldn't explain why he had left tonight but eh, Salem probably didn't need to know that anyway. At the offer of another drink, Carly blinked and looked at her empty glass ... how had- eh never mind, a free drink was a free drink~. Telling the bartender that she wanted the same thing (because strawberries were just that awesome of course~) Carly turned back to Salem,"Thanks,"Carly replied easily. Really her idea had been to just have one drink and then lay off the rest of the night lest she become too much of a ditz but oh well, Carly would just have to drink this one more slowly. "So are you a business associate of his or something? I don't think very many people would come to his bar if it's out of their way just to meet up with an old friend. I mean yeah he is awesome and all that but isn't that like ... the third time you've complained about the bar being out of your way~ ... ,"Carly said after a short time. Awkward silences were not her forte to be certain and Carly really did want to know if her hunch about Salem being connected to the rebels was accurate. Hmm, if he was well ... so much the better~, maybe Lyall would finally listen to her and let her go on missions~.[/scrolly] |

He didn't have family outside of Sabrina, but he knew well enough he --- Sister. Why hadn't Salem caught that before? That made a little more sense now didn't it? As she continued on, Salem half smiled a little and offered a smile. "Ah, sorry. I don't tend to repeat myself... I just......As I said, he owes me something, and I'm a little.... picky... " he chuckled a little but didn't give any exact explanation.
"You know Lancer told me he had siblings but never told me anything about them," he smiled a little at Carly. "You seem nice enough, and I can't quite imagine why he hasn't talked about you more." He offered an easy grin in her direction before taking another sip of his drink. "But I guess one never does know everything about someone else, even a friend," he sighed but smiled.

Carly was about to see if she could find another line of questioning that would shed at least a little light on the debt of sorts when Salem mentioned Lancer. Lancer was the name that the Black Knights addressed Lyall as wasn't it~, well now this certainly made things different. OK so the debt was off limits for the time being but the knowledge that Salem was affiliated with the Black Knights made this so much more interesting. "I knew it~,"Carly chimed, giggling slightly as she spoke. Hearing Salem continue on about how 'Lancer' had never really talked about her or Lexi, Carly sighed. Yes that was just like Lyall ... she could understand Lexi but Carly had made it very well known that she wanted to help him out. "Yeah that sounds like him, so if you must be affiliated with BK if not some aspect of the rebels hmm?"Carly replied in a more upbeat voice,"I don't know why Lancer's so protective ... I've told him a million times I wanted to help ... , but then that's probably what brother's do. I'm not gonna complain that much."she continued before taking a sip of her drink and studying Salem. The alcohol may have made her tongue a little looser but hey, the fact that Carly had been right about Salem working with the rebels was enough to make her at least a little less cautious. It's not like she stumbled across some big secret or whatever.[/scrolly] |

BK? Burger King- wha-...rebels... ah Black Knights. That was right, he was the leader of his own gang wasn't he? Well how in the world had Salem forgotten that? Well, honestly it was because Lancer had never stood out to him outside of another comrade of the rebels.... That and Sabrina liked fast food..... However, that could certainly be used later on, yes. Her upbeat tone also meant that... she was aware of it and accenting of it. Well that certainly made things much easier didn't it? "I see..." he mumbled quietly to himself before chuckling a bit. "You could say that," he answered back lightly. "I can see why big brothers would want to protect little sisters though. You should feel honored," he smiled a little before taking another sip of his drink. "But you... want to help? The cause of the rebels, yes?" he asked lightly.

Yes she was giddy but hey this was because she had found out something secret. Well ... at least Carly thought it had been a secret considering it would be foolish to tell the world you were a rebel and have all the nobles hunt you down. As it was Carly could easily remain discreet, after all who would think that a little girl would be involved with the rebels. Annoying as the misinterpretation of her age was it certainly helped when Carly wanted to get out of certain things~. At Salem's response about her brother and how she should feel honored, Carly smiled,"Yeah, I am honored that he does protect me but at times it can just be so stifling ya know,"she replied easily before hearing the question that Salem posed. Shit had she said that out loud ... ? Ah well~ what's done is done and it might help her case with Lyall in the long run. "Well, yeah ... . I mean ever since I knew what Lancer did I wanted to. Not just because he's my brother but-,"Carly began before stopping rather suddenly as a memory surfaced. Shaking her head, Carly began again,"If ya knew half of what I've been through you wouldn't question my motives ..... ,"she continued in a more determined, cool voice. Yes now Salem could say that she was being hostile but there were certain things you just didn't discuss. Only Lyall and the rest of her family knew what had really happened but Lyall understood her best out of all of them. Yes they sympathized with her but that just ... that wasn't enough, Carly wanted to do something instead of just sitting around finding out lame secrets for people who were either too lazy or too scared to ask questions.[/scrolly] |

Salem couldn't help but internally smirk at Carly's words though his face faked sympathy well enough. "I can understand that," he sighed softly enhancing his own appearance by thinking of all that he had been through. He honestly doubted anyone had been in through as much as he had, but damn it helped him sometimes, heh. "But your brother doesn't want you to get too involved, it seems, then?" he asked pretty sure that the answer was yes. Well now, right here was a spirit he could possibly use, maybe. It depended on how deep her conviction actually ran. "You know there are ways around just asking your brother~" he hummed lightly.

She hadn't wanted to bring up her past but at least Salem hadn't asked about the details which was good. As it was Carly was fighting off the memories that had resurfaced at the mere mention of it; thankfully Salem's next words brought her back to reality."Yeah, I kinda figure that's the case because he doesn't want anything to happen to me. We're pretty close ya know but still, I just wish there was something I could do now instead of the 'some other time' I'm always getting,"Carly replied, sighing before taking another sip of her drink.
Sure Lyall may have his reasons behind not involving her as much but ... it was always kinda disappointing watching him leave and not be invited to join them. True her strengths were more on gather intel and what not but Carly was more than capable of handling herself in the field. She trained everyday with Saito for crying out loud ... but none of that seemed to make a difference. Hearing Salem's next statement, Carly turned her attention back to the man, not having realized her thoughts had started wandering in the first place. What ... not ask Lyall ... well, she had done some freelance stuff before but that hadn't entirely panned out. "Oh really now?"Carly asked, her tone carrying a mild sarcastic edge to it,"Do tell~. How could I possibly become involved when my brother is basically the only connection I have hmm~?"she continued in a more sing song voice.[/scrolly] |
