[b]Tyler - Baton Rouge - Scarlett/Jacob[/b]

Finally allowing himself to relax, Tyler let out a strained breath and rested his arms against the back of the couch. He nodded at Scarlet when she expressed her appreciation. "None of us know one another, but we're going to change that." He said it for her, but he also meant it for himself. He was still unsure about Adam and Liam, but Tyler realised he was just going to have to grin and bear it for now. "Oh, and--" Tyler looked toward Elyse. "Scarlett is looking for her sister."

Tina had taken a spot next to Elyse, and this news perked her attention. "Really?" she asked, turning to Scarlett. "We don't see too many people come around here. Adam and Elyse were the last two to come around."

Elyse had her eyes close, nodding. "Tell us about your sister," she said. "Maybe I'll have seen her. When were you two last together?"

When Jacob approached Tyler, he stepped off to the side to let those on the couch talk amongst themselves. Jacob wanted to talk, it seemed, and he sounded concerned. Tyler nodded to him and turned to Jace, who had joined the others by the couch. "Mind if we check out that bathroom downstairs?" he asked.

Jace looked up and squinted in their direction, as if he was scrutinizing them. "... That's fine, just don't exit the bar, whatever you do. It's dangerous."

Thanking him, Tyler led Jacob back downstairs. They moved to the front of the bar, where a couple of stools still stood intact. Tyler took a seat on one and began leaning over the counter. "I hope they don't keep booze stashed around," he mumbled. He then let out a sigh and rested his arms on the counter. "What did you want to talk about? Is it about your cell phone?" Tyler tried to look amused; Tried to be friendly. "Or is it about the group upstairs? I'd like to hear your thoughts on both, you know."
