Truly helps Kade get situated and straightens out her own dress. "I'm goin' ta sneak off ta t'e louve ta get meself lookin' like I didn't jist get me world rocked."
"There's nothing wrong with that look. Ye happen ta wear it well." A smirk crosses his lips as Kade adjusts a few strands of pearls so that they're not tangled with her hair. "I'll get you a Guinness and meet up by the patio seating."
"Eh, maybe a whiskey or rum. I doubt it's real Guinness at t'is party."
"I'll see what they have and get you something good." He leans over and gives her a chaste kiss. "I'll see you soon."
Heading over to the bar to order their drinks, Kade joins Brandyn in line, only to have Gideon stride up to them. "Ghedi and Aba are here. They say it's urgent."
What? Has something happened to mom? "Why?"
"They didn't say," Gideon shrugs." Not that they normally do. The Adébáyọ̀s are often cryptic.
"Alright, where?"
"Around the side. They didn't want to attract attention."
Kade's attention turns to Brandyn. "Can yet get me a rum and if it's good whiskey get one for Truly, otherwise get her a rum as well." He pulls out a twenty euro and hands it to Brandyn. "I'll just be around the side."
Brandyn nods, sensing somethings off with Gideon. Keenly watching them as they disappear around the side of the building, he summons over his younger brother, Skylar, as he walks by.
Following Gideon around the side, Kade catches sight of Ghedi Adébáyọ̀s' large frame and long dreadlocks. To his right stands his sister, the heir of the Winters family, Aba, and one of Kade's fraternity brothers, Maven, on his right.
"Ghedi, Aba," Kade clasps Ghedi's arm in greeting as he nods politely to Aba since she's a mambo, a voodoo priestess. "You're an awful long way from Liberteria. What's happened ta warrant this?" The Adébáyọ̀s aren't known for straying out of northern Wintershall and, as a close family friend, he knows they refuse to step foot into Davelvon Island. Kade's expression turns serious as he eyes them both. "Did something happen ta me Omma?"
"No, she's fine. A great catastrophe bout tuh befall di islands an wi here tuh see dat it don't." Ghedi informs him as he scans behind Kade, looking for something or someone. "Yuh find di foul thing?" His eyes flick to Gideon, who shakes his head no.
What foul thing? A sense of unease fills Kade. This island is under Shane's control. They would need his permission to be here. "What exactly are ye hunting for? Did ye clear it with Davelvon's lieutenant governor?"
When Ghedi throws his sister a look, Kade knows they didn't. I'll have ta call Shane and let him know. "And the catastrophe you intend to stop? What do you need me help with?"
