After pinning something to the wall and contenting himself to the atmosphere of the rowdy room, the lead Enforcer for the gang only went and chose one of the few tables where no one else had chosen to reside. Sitting there upon his housemate's return he touched that soft cheek and purred, "Go on. Sit down, man. I can't show you too much with prying eyes to ivade, but I couldn't stand it to not have you here beside me". In the half-sarcastic tone, however, even his coy smile rose a smile bit as he looked up at Viper's angelic face.

" Yeah I understand. Still gotta be tough." Taking a sip of his drink he smiled at Fang and thumped him on the back like a bro. " nothings really changed has it?"

"Changed?", he remarked as he cast a loving glance beside him, "As to that? Not really. I am always like that. The gang, the family, comes first just as it did back when Berlin had no walls and the buildings were intact. My partners know that. Older than dirt as it is."

" i wouldn't dare put myself before them." He smiled, glad things hadn't changed much.

Sipping from his own glass, the male softly batted an eye and let a bit of his inner thought go free in the way of a distant musing. "But if each part is not kept then the sum is no more.", he purred softly, "Am I right?".

" I suppose. all things in balence is best." He shrugged, just generally chatting between sips. he missed Specs in thta moment and sighed.

"What is weighing my. Friend's mind so very much?", the male said as he reached one arm down to encase the other's lower back and hips, "i cannot have you being just so agreeable unless you truly agree. And that sound makes it hard to think you do..."

" I agree with what I've said Fang. Relationships come and go but the family is forever.." He responded with a smile.
