The doors swung open violently as the red-haired male entered The Pretty Flower. The room was filled to the brim as always, some seated at tables and some seated along the bar. The occupants all turned to stare as the presumed dead prince gave them all a smile. [color=92278f]"Hello!"[/color]He greeted casually and hopped up on a barstool. The room had been bursting with energy and voices until he had come in. As soon as the doors had opened, the room had fallen silent and all eyes were now on him. He knew most were aware of his arrival into the kingdom and even had seen their little torture game this afternoon.  Still, some of them seemed to be seeing him for the first time and stared at him in terror, as if they had seen a ghost. Helio loved the expressions on their faces. 

The dark-haired girl running the bar turned to glance upon him. He tilted his head as he analyzed the emotions swimming in her eyes. He remembered her quite well. [color=92278f]"Ayette, Ayette, whom all the boys just cannot forget! I know you recall my favorite drink."[/color] Her eyes flashed and she moved as if being awoken out of a slumber, hastily turning to make his drink.

[color=92278f]"Vereon's not on shift tonight I see."[/color]Helio mused, examining the room as the talking began to resume. [color=92278f]"So many memories. "[/color] He was thoughtful as he took in the surroundings and began to chuckle.

She turned and placed a mug in front of him. 

Helio grinned at her, raising a brow. She had on her poker face. He looked down at it and took it in his hands, shaking it gently to watch the liquid swirl in the mug. He then pushed it toward her. [color=92278f]"Take a sip."[/color]

[color=a187be]"What? Seriously?"[/color]Ayette asked with a glare.

[color=92278f]"I know you know what I might do to you if you don't."[/color]"He said smoothly, continuing the sentence loudly, [color=92278f]"And it wouldn't be like that night I took you home, so don't get your hopes up!"[/color]

Her cheeks reddened as a few nearby heads turned. 

[color=92278f]"I know Risa was probably here and she most likely told either you and Vereon how I'm very, very scary,"[/color]Helio's voice had lowered in volume just to address her. [color=92278f]"So let's not play pretend. You know what I'm capable of and I want to enjoy my night without little surprises in my drink. You could understand that, right, [i]Ayette[/i]?"[/color] He gave her a cheeky smile, his voice full of charm and warmth despite the implied threat.

Ayette grimaced and grabbed the mug, finally dumping the liquid in the sink. She gritted her teeth as she prepared him a new drink. Once she was done preparing it, she took a sip, averting her eyes as she did. Then she pushed it toward him. 

Helio caught it and took a swig of the drink, [color=92278f]"Ah! Just how I like it. Strong and bitter. Knew I could count on you to remember. "[/color] 

Artemis was locked up in the dungeon, ready to be tormented at a moment's notice whenever he pleased, River Kingdom was his to play with for the time being, and Aklenroth was probably murdering all the rebels wherever they all were. He even got to make fun of Terneus Andros today. Helio truly had nothing to complain about and perhaps he'd have mercy on these bargoers, despite the obvious poison attempt. He could just let that slide for now. Besides, Azriel was coming to join him and he didn't want to start the party without her.
