Luci was frozen, mid babble with her arms flung up into the air. Every single Blind in the room was frozen. Their gaze turned to Paloma, a little confused. Was she helping them? But didn’t she have some stupid crush on Marco? Why the fuck would she freeze the room to let them beat him into a pulp- They really couldn’t deny it with the way she was clicking and pointing at Marco. Vin wasn’t a fan of the way she was ordering them around, but he was the tiniest bit grateful that at least one problem (being violent in front of Luci) was solved. But just that one. Gideon was still on the door, undoubtedly unaffected and probably easily figuring out where the problem was. It’d be even easier for him to see the commotion! [color=51684c]”This ain’t fuckin’ enough- the boss’s still aware.”[/color] They hissed under their breath to Paloma. But Gideon would’ve already felt the powerful magic that had hit all of them. Vin would probably get in trouble anyway for not preventing it from happening, so why not get a punch or two outta it? [color=51684c]”Hold her for me.”[/color] Though reluctant to give her to anyone else, Vin couldn’t exactly punch someone while holding Luci. Paloma [i]did[/i] have experience with children, so she probably wouldn’t drop her on her head. That was enough for Vin to hand the frozen toddler over to her, making sure Paloma had her before moving anywhere. As they balled their hands into fists and went to advance, they glanced down at Destiny with a sharp toothed grin. [color=51684c]”Watch and learn, kid.”[/color] Everyone around them freezing only made Loni cling to Marco harder, hugging around his deliciously muscular arm and pressing into him. Her eyes widened, body trembling as fear shot through her. What was going on? W-Was it another one of those things?! Had it come for revenge after she’d helped kill one?! No, no, it couldn’t be that, because Vin was here, and they’d get rid of it immediately. So it was something else, it was- Why was Vin’s friend slash crush pointing a finger gun at [i]her[/i] like that?! Sic ‘em- what, what?! What was going on?! Fear was replaced with confusion when there was no horrendous transformation or the appearance of a nasty doppelganger. Just this woman pointing at her. Or at Marco? It was hard to tell with them so close together, but she was fairly certain it was her. But why? Did she think Loni was an eyesore? But- but this was the Southside! If it had been the North she would’ve expected scorn, but not here. Had she overheard Loni saying she worked at Sin Sisters?! Did she have a problem with strippers?! Did she think having a stripper sister made Vin a bad person and wanted them to prove they weren’t by getting rid of her?! That was a little too ridiculous even for her, Vin would never- Why were they coming over here! And they looked murderous. They only looked murderous like that when her or Luci were- Oh, the finger point really was at Marco, not her! The blonde was already close enough with Vin for them to talk about her like that? So she knew about Vin’s overprotectiveness? Wow- Wait, not the time to be happy about that! [color=51684c]”Marco, get off my sister, before I fuckin’-”[/color] [color=ff7360]”Vin, stop!”[/color] Loni pulled one arm away from Marco to hold it out in front of her, warding off the rapidly approaching and angry Vin. Though there was no transformation, Loni knew their magic well enough to know they were enhancing their strength. They really meant to start a fight! They were [i]always[/i] like this. They didn’t believe that Loni could make her own decisions. It was like by having a night of fun she was making the biggest mistake of her life! She just wanted to enjoy herself, especially since she’d been single for a whole day! [color=51684c]”Get outta the way, Lon.”[/color] [color=ff7360]"You- You said you wouldn’t do this anymore, Vin! You promised!"[/color] [color=51684c]”For guys I don’t know! I ain’t just gonna let him-”[/color] [color=ff7360]"Let him do somethin’ I want?! I ain’t allowed to flirt with a hot guy just cause y’know him? Marco’s a [i]doctor[/i]. They don’t let just anyone be a doctor. And it ain’t like he started on me. I flirted first- And I’m allowed to! You ain’t my boss, you can’t stop me from sleepin’ with someone if I wanna and they wanna. You don’t gotta consent too!"[/color] Vin knew that Loni was too stubborn to listen to any reason… She’d dig her heels in, and they’d just end up arguing until one of them stormed off. It was why she kept flitting from bad man to bad man, even with people like Vin, Moriah and Kiki all trying to dissuade her from it. But [i]Marco[/i] could be convinced with their fists. [color=51684c]”What if he hurts you, huh? Then I gotta [I]really[/I] hurt him- you thought ‘bout that?”[/color] [color=ff7360]"That ain’t gonna ha- Vin!"[/color] Not listening to her, Vin reached up to grab Marco by the collar of his irritatingly open shirt. At the same time their knee came up, aiming for his leg rather than his balls out of respect for their friendship.
