Lorne might need a drink too. He scratched the area of forehead in between his horns and smiled a bit. "You're older than you think you are, Laura. And Kara is right. You adopted a child.." He racked his brains again, "I think the person who took her thought she was helping. Since you didn't remember. She didn't want you to panic."
Might or might not been true, but hopefully would keep Laura calm. More calm than not. He moved around to the back of the bar, making something for himself and pouring a drink for Kara. "One, Pumpkin. You might be old enough but your body has the constitution of a teenager." This said as he slid a glass of whiskey her way.
Laura looked a little panicked. "I gave away my baby? I gave away my baby? The woman said it was her baby. She said...oh my Gods..." Laura looked down at the ground. "What do we do? There have to be police, right? Someone has to know how to help..."
Lee had (reluctantly) left Lily on her own with a nine year old Zak, a nine year old Moira, and a twenty-four year old (going on thirteen) Sirius. But if his brother had been turned into a child, and he couldn't remember anything, then maybe Kara and his father, or even the President, could be just a child and out on the streets without any idea who they were. And that thought worried him
( ... )
Remus had come in quietly with Lee and had paused not far inside the door while Lee had gone in further and apparently recognized the women at the bar. Tiredly, the young werewolf rocked onto his toes.. then lowered back down, and moved slowly into the club, eyes glancing about.. until they focused onto the large green man. He didn't look like a goblin. The blonde boy came to a stop about ten feet from Lorne and simply stared up at him.
Laura looked over, looking quite melancholy as she did because she'd given away a kid she didn't even remember having. And here was yet another person she didn't know at all.
"You are not getting anymore, Pumpkin. You wanted to drink with Tall, Dark, and Gorgeous then you should have waited!" Lorne meant it when he said that Kara was getting one drink. She, as an older woman, could handle all the liquor she wanted. As a thirteen-year-old, Lorne was putting his hulk-like (in colour, not size) foot down. "I've been through drunken teenaged adults!"
Then there was a new person there, old but not old..and still old. "Hello, Poppet." Lorne smiled gently, then nodded his head toward the bar. "Let me get you some chocolate milk. Hot or cold?" Chocolate was magical no matter what the type of magic.
Lee had been opening his mouth to find the words to try and explain this to her, but then she opened her mouth and he stared a moment.. then shut his mouth (it'd been hanging open, poor man) and gave her that same long-suffering look.
"My brother is nine and had no idea who he was. I had to convince him that I was time traveling from the future to get him to come with me. He's with a girl who's nine also, and they're.. they just don't stop talking." But he was slowly coming forward, attention focused onto the President for a moment. "..But yes, I'll have that drink." So Kara was small but could remember what happened? What about.. "Madam President?"
Remus nodded as Lorne offered the chocolate. "Hot, please." But his eyes were glued to Lorne curiously. What was he? Remus was wracking his young brain trying to figure out what looked as... strange as that man did. But he was coming up empty.
There was something different about Remus too, but Lorne couldn't figure out what. He'd find out eventually, he figured.
Bright red eyes turned to the children of space (yes, Lee was included in that) and he watched them thoughtfully. "Laura, sweetheart, let's get some hot chocolate." It was like tea. Helped calm most people.
Stepping behind the bar, chuckling at something that Sal said, Lorne winked at his bartender and let him go for the nite. That was when he put some milk in a pan and let it warm up over the stove that was hidden in the corner. Lorne lived upstairs, so had the same amenities as a house tucked away this place or that.
"Questions are always encouraged here, Poppet." This to Remus. Who might just keep the nickname when he returned to regular age.
Remus glanced towards Lee.. then came over to the bar as well and climbed up onto a stool, wrapping his lower legs around the bars to help hold on and he folded his arms on the bar and laid his head on them, lower face buried in his arms while tired eyes watched the process of hot-chocolate making.
"Remus, sir." Simply corrected. But then he was lifting his head up again and breathing in deeply. "I don't mean to be impolite, but.. what are you? I've been through every book I can think of in my head, and I can't place you." God, the kid looked like he was going to fall of the stool and pass out.
Lee, down two seats at the bar, kept glancing over at him.. just to assure that the young boy wasn't doing exactly that.
Laura looked up and wiped at her eyes. "No, I'm not. I don't know where I am. I don't know...who anyone is. And on top of that, I supposedly have baby that I gave away to a stranger because I have amnesia and I didn't know any better."
"Here." Bill silently thanked the fact that his mother had taught him to always carry a handkerchief in his pocket - which he offered to the girl.
"If it helps, I think I may have amnesia too," he admitted. "Because I can't explain how the hell I got here." He shrugged. "All I know, it certainly isn't Caprica."
He looked at the girl again, and frowned. "This may seem strange, but do I know you from somewhere?"
The glower she wore looked strange on her 13 year old body.
She slid onto a bar stool, annoyed and tired.
"Yo, bartender, hand me a drink."

He was big.
"Hello." Greeted quietly. Simply.

Brushing away tears, she thought about that poor baby. "What if I did something terrible?"

Wandering in through the door, he found himself being strangely drawn to a red haired girl sitting at the bar.
"Miss?" he said, concerned. "Are you alright?"
