@SOLITAIREHOWL "My staff will guide you to a room, stay the night and we'll speak more in the morning."
Dimitri offers her a gentle smile, grateful his beloved has such a kind, devoted friend. And that he was able to meet her, too.

@SOLITAIREHOWL Dimitri nods, a frown on his face. "Nothing severe, as far as I could tell, but we'll see. Do you mind if I go and bathe him?"
He then looks down at Felix. "Sorry, love. Do you mind if we get you cleaned up first?"
@SOLITAIREHOWL How cute.. how sweet. Dimitri's heart feels full upon hearing such words, smiling softly down at his beloved. 'tis a strange story, theirs.. but one he is grateful for.
"As am I, my love." He murmurs softly, as they return home, and he searches for a no doubt anxious Annette. +
@SOLITAIREHOWL "I see. Well, you'd have made a lovely couple," he murmurs, pressing yet another kiss to Felix's crown. And they would have. She is kindness and softness where he is not.. at least in the eyes of the public.
@SOLITAIREHOWL A soft hum, as they head home. He's careful not to jostle Felix too much, certainly not before he gets a better look at his injuries.
"She's safe, waiting at home for you. A good woman, that one."
@SOLITAIREHOWL "Of course, the bastard was evasive. I kept him tied up, to decide what to do with him afterwards."
Dimitri huffs, tempted to return later and actually kill him for good. But if Felix wishes to show mercy... he'll just scare him into exile, instead.

@SOLITAIREHOWL Dimitri kisses the crown of his lover's head, as he carries him out. Unsure whether to clean up after he's taken Felix home... or whether he should handle it with Felix in tow.

@SOLITAIREHOWL Dimitri takes that as a no, and carefully lifts his lover. Carrying him out, letting him hide away from the bar patrons who are suddenly VERY quiet.. perhaps it's the blood all over him.
"Your friend, the redhead.. she travelled all the way to tell me you were missing. +
