1899 - The Hidden Hands of the Aether

<< < (4/38) > >>

Klear:
   Hearing something's going on in the room behind him, Hugo straightens himself to his full and considerable height and turns towards the source of commotion.
   "What's going on over there?" he booms with a voice which easily overpowers all sounds of in the packed pub.
   He's not moving yet, part because a shout like that is usually enough to end any unpleasantness at the Lock and Feather, but mostly because he hasn't oriented himself in the situation yet and honestly wants to know what is going on.

LuckyDee:
Upon Hugo's request, Albert turns his head towards him and looks up, his face seemingly undecided on what expression to display. You know that Albert's secretly quite thrilled by the idea of seeing two grown men beat each other to a pulp, but none too enthusiastic about sleeping in the dormitory when mrs. Fines finds out he's been attending such an event. His mouth starts forming words, and after a couple of seconds - with a sigh - settles on "You can tell that to Mellie...", with a nod of his head to indicate she's in the back.

Meanwhile, as he discovers Josie's intervention and leans out to look past Hugo to turn his attention towards the door, says "Now what's that girl getting herself into now?" The way she reads people is unnerving, Albert'd just wish she would be a bit less conspicuous in the way she confronts them.
Hearing Hugo shout and realising a little impetus will be required, Albert jabs him in the side with an elbow and says, semi exasperated, "Well, go on - if you're just going to stand around here you might as well take tonight off, too."

The customer - who did indeed give slipping past Josie and towards the door a couple of tries - seems to make up his mind in a split second and saunters towards the door to the lavatory instead, as if nothing happened.

Klear:
   Hugo nods to Albert and, hesitating for a second whether he should go talk to Mellie, he slowly walks back towards his place instead.
   "You alright, Josie? What was that all about?"

Esther:
Josie shrugs. With a quick gesture she points a the place the customer had been seated.
She then shakes her head to say no and makes a money gesture with her hand.
Placing a vinger on Hugo's chest, then placing it under her eye and next pointing at the door of the lavatory, she tells Hugo to watch for him.
Now looking at the stew in her hand she tries to remember who it was for. With a quick smile at Hugo, she dashes of again.

LuckyDee:
As Josie walks away the door opens and a man walks in. He clearly didn't expect a giant to be blocking his way, and is visibly startled. It takes him a second to regain his composure, upon which he nods to Hugo and walks around him, towards the bar.
