>>Vika, though text[@PrinceAlexus] Siobahn, and her cooking [@Almalthia] Joel, over a Guiness [@Pilatus]
[hr]

During a moment of downtime, Ryan reached for his phone and sent out a text message.

-[color=00aeef]"Well. No. I've just had to rethink some things. Some...life things. And to be fair, I didn't get a close look of your scales, if you catch my drift. We'll talk later. Enjoy your day."[/color]-

Tucking his phone away, he paid some attention to the interaction between Joel and Siobahn. Of course, he doesn't know their backstory but does that really matter? They're clearly an item and for some reason, that makes him yearn for something similar. Ryan tried to offer to help but it seems like Siobahn has everything under control. 

Again, this isn't his kitchen. He should definitely just back off for once and let the owners of the place to run it as they wished. Something he isn't really familiar with.

Taking a sip from his room temperature beer, Ryan leaned back on his chair, pondering the question Siobahn posed to him. [color=00aeef]"What [i]is[/i] going on in my life. I don't really know I suppose."[/color] Pausing a moment to glance at the pair. [color=00aeef]"I mean. I feel like I'm hitting a block in regards to my restaurant. I'm finding myself losing inspiration. That is why my restaurant has been shuttered for a while now. I feel like I can't cook, or perform, to my usual standard and I refuse to serve substandard food."[/color] Pausing once again, Ryan drew in a deep breath. [color=00aeef]"Though, I suppose that wasn't what you were asking about. I think you're asking about the message exchange between us recently."[/color] He said, giving Joel a small head tilt to signify that he was talking about himself and Joel. [color=00aeef]"So. That. I don't know. I've known the woman for all of what? A few months? I was ready to take on the responsibility of helping her raise her unborn child. That isn't even mine to begin with. Call it lust, call it foolishness, call it whatever you'd like. I just.. I don't know. Why did you tell me to get the hell out of dodge, in the matter you did? Do you two have stories of Vika that you can share with me?"[/color] He said, taking a small sip from his bear.
