[Color=gold][b]Time:[/b][/color] Afternoon
[Color=gold][b]Location:[/b][/color] Alexei's, Ember Grove
[Color=gold][b]Interactions:[/b][/color] [@Pink Khione] Vivian, [@Helo] Elias, [@Potter] Nikolaus, and [@Tae] Maeve

[Color=gold]"Then it's settled then. I will call you to schedule a day that works for you and I... Oh and maybe Alissa too."[/color] Alexander smiled, assuring Vivian he had not forgotten about her lost friend.

When his phone buzzed in his pocket, he decided to ignore it as he assumed it was business that did not need to risk being exposed while at the bar. When directed on where to pay, Alexander gave a nod and simply walked to the register. Unfortunately, the young man known as Jimmy was having a lot of difficulties ringing him up. The young man muttered to himself at every instance of a mistake… and there were many of those. Alexander gave a look of distaste to both the young man and then shot a short glare at Elias as if he was responsible for this. The glare was short only because his eyes clearly identified a face familiar to him.

His eyes locked onto one of the men at the other end of the bar. Alexander nearly forgot where he was as he had been ready to lunge and tear out the throat of Nikolaus Trotter. The son of the bastard that caused the deaths of his brother and sister. Perhaps it was magic, or simply coincidence, but the young man at the register cleared his throat to get Alexander's attention. While turning to face Jimmy, Alexander saw a photo of a young smiling Alexei Rokstova posted on the wall. 

Even in his absence, Alexei's ruling applied. No blood was to be spilled here. 

[Color=gold]"How much?"[/color] Alexander asked coldly.

"Well um, that's the thing… Can you remind me on what everyone ordered? I think I may have-"

[Color=gold]"One hundred… Take it."[/color] Alexander sighed as he pulled a single bill from his wallet and set it down. [Color=gold]"I owe Alexei a little something anyway. You can sort the difference out on your own time."[/color]  Alexander walked away from the register, eyes forward as he attempted not to tear the colonel's son in two. Just as he reached the door though, he turned to face everyone. [Color=gold]"Farewell gentlemen…"[/color] Alexander put a little extra charm on for good measure. [Color=gold]"I hope to see you all again."[/color] And with that Alexander made his exit.

As soon as the door closed behind him, he snatched the wristband off and tucked it into his pocket. His face displayed both anger and disgust as he entered the parking lot. 

[Color=gold][i]I could kill him if I waited, but I can send others in my stead. I just have to keep him here for a bit.[/i][/[/color] 

Alexander quickly scanned the parking lot. There were only a few vehicles and only one had added itself to the collection since Alexander's arrival. A jeep. He eyed the tires and nodded some before picking up a discarded beer can from the parking lot floor. Like putty in his hands, Alexander twisted and shaped the aluminum in his hands into a sharp Coors Light branded stake. 

[Color=gold]"How unfitting…"[/color] Alexander jabbed the stake into both left-side tires and took the makeshift weapon with him into his own vehicle. Alexander had to be quick. He had an ambush to attend.
