Wolfe watched Raven for a moment, "I suppose most of us in this group have things that are keeping us from truly being happy," he mused as his gaze found Yue and Laurel.

Raven followed Wolfe's gaze, but didn't comment. But after awhile he turned back to Wolfe. "What about you?" he asked. "Once... it's all over, do you think you'll be truly happy?"

Wolfe thought about it for a moment, "... That depends on the people still with me," he replied quietly.

Raven blinked, wondering how he was supposed to interpret that. So he took it the best way he could, but didn't say anything more for the moment.

Wolfe's gaze was focused on Laurel. As he watched her, he suddenly didn't seem so calm or happy.

Raven glanced back at Laurel and sighed. It wasn't really their business to stop her if she wanted to let off steam like this. But she was gonna get in over her head.

Laurel was giving a little strip-tease on a table. In all appearances, she looked drunk. But to Raven who had already seen her wasted, she clearly wasn't actually drunk. She also seemed to be focusing on a small group of men. Raven wouldn't know, but Yue would recognize them as men with illegal ties. Business owners with their hands in the black market.

Wolfe seemed confused, he gaze staying on Laurel as she started talking to the men.

Yue noticed, but didn't bother saying anything. She seemed rather disappointed with how the night was turning out. It wasn't a girls night out at all. She had another drink or two before setting her sights on some of the more popular men at the bar.

"Careful," Raven teased Wolfe. "They might think you're jealous."

Wolfe didn't seem to hear Raven, "I can't trust her..." he whispered, "And she's not helping."

Raven didn't say anything. Instead he took another sip of his drink.

Eventually, Laurel finished her conversation and went over to Yue.

Yue was getting frustrated with not receiving more attention than the other girls. So she was taking a break at the bar.

Laurel took a seat beside her and ordered a drink. She looked a bit worn out from her show.

Yue didn't say anything. So far Laurel had gotten more attention than her tonight.

"Where'd Blaze run off to?" Laurel asked when Yue didn't say anything.

Yue shrugged.
