In a high class bar in Chicago, Richard Johnson, better known as Dick, sits in a booth with two gorgeous women, young enough to potentially be his granddaughters. If he had any. He doesn't. Family has never been a pursuit of Dick's. It's all about the green, of course. Money makes the world go round and Dick has plenty, considering his occupation

Lavendar is dancing down the sidewalks. It's not anything too graceful, but it's energetic and fun and nearly childish. Most of the adults can't see her, they just look a little confused when they stumble to one side, but she's in her own world.

Something, though, pulls her to a stop. It might be the lack of breath.

But when she sees the kitten, concern washes over her face and, ever so cautiously, she approaches it.

"You're hurt..." She holds out a hand to it, in hope that it won't feel threatened. No, she doesn't quite realize who it is.

Being hurt in this form makes it more difficult to focus with the human side of the brain, the animal instincts tend to kick in when issues like fear and injury come into play. He recognizes Lavendar's scent though and blinks looking up at her through the haze of pain.

He nods, part animal now, but that reaction is mostly human and limps over to rub against her hand, purring softly, more for his comfort than hers.

[swingsetheart]

When he rubs against her hand, she lightly rubs her fingertips against his fur. She smiles sadly and crouches down completely.

"Poor thing." She's honestly feeling her own pain for the kitten, just like she would for one of her children. She hates seeing anything hurt.

"I'm going to pick you up, okay? And then I'm going to fix you all up so you'll be in tip-top shape!"

She holds both of her hands out, cupped together so that he might situate himself before she even moved him from the ground.

Luke will be staying in kitten form for a while. Potentially until he's mostly healed, though his arm might require a splint in real life, which means staying still for a very long time as a kitten to get the same effect.

He steps forward, still purring, into her hands, curling up and giving off a pained, "Meow." Luke has to adjust himself a few times until his arm just slips over the side of her hand so it's not in as much pain this way. Mostly.

Generally speaking, if you ask enough people about organized crime and you're not actually involved in it, you're asking for trouble on a number of levels. Sark, fortunately, is an experienced liar and while not the Director Operations for anyone's epic crime syndicate these days, he still knows how things work and how to pretend like he's a cog in a bigger machine. He's kept an ear to the ground and something is operating out of Chicago and if Sark's not in the middle of it, then he intends to find out who is beyond it and put an end to it. If he wanted to rationalize it, it has nothing to do with heroics and everything to do with... Okay, there is no way to rationalize it. He's just bored and it'll be better for his health in the long run if he tries to put a stop to what amounts to terrorist activity, rather than join in on it

Dick is not happy to have his women-time interrupted, by someone who is not female. It is, as has already been stated, very important for his sanity and reducing his levels of stress to have this time with the women and the wine. Their feminine ways do much to ease his tension.

Does this blond, British punk want him to have a heart attack?

"Look, kid, you've already had about twenty seconds of my time. You're going to have to give me a damn good reason to let you have a word, too."

He's had a little too much wine though so the reason may not have to be that good, but he doesn't expect much from this kid. Most of the important people he works with in his business are much older.

Sark drums his fingers on the table and resists the urge to do what is generally his initial reaction to that sort of attitude towards him... Which is shoot them or cause them physical harm, but as he is currently unarmed and causing a scene in a bar will just get him arrested, he keeps his cool. It's all about proving his worth. He's not just a kid. He's a skilled operative who has accomplished more than most people accomplish in a single lifetime before the age of twenty-two. All he has to do is prove it

Dick stares at him as if trying to size him up for a second time. Most punks (any male under the age of 35) he's run into don't talk like this. It makes him more intrigued

Karu is out wandering, scouting for the soon-to-be-dead. It's her life. It's a morbid one, but it's her life.

The park isn't very full today, but she's making a point of checking everyone. To that end she approaches, looking for eye contact.

"You look deep in thought," she mentions. It's as good a conversation starter as any.

[wolverine9601]

Wolverine meets her eyes. He doesn't die so he won't give her anything on that respect. Angel. It doesn't take him long to figure that out.

"Lot to think about," he says, looking up from his position on the grass, because it's so normal for grown men to brood on the grass.
