You Think I Can’t? Watch Me.

#this is so me

“So, there’s there.. their.. and they’re… also affect and effect…” He sipped his coffee, a small smile on his face, “Everyone says that Japanese and Arabic are super hard to learn… I can only imagine people trying to learn the differences between there… their… and–” He paused for a moment, a bit of confusion in his voice, “… there.”

August could have stopped the other sooner — should have, really —, but chose to keep listening just to see where this was going. ❝ Please, tell me you’re not using some basic grammar to try to prove English is harder to learn. Those don’t even sound alike or have similar meanings, ❞ he shook his head. Yes, he should have stopped the nonsense earlier. ❝ English doesn’t even compare to Romance languages and all their verb tenses, ❞ he finished with an eye roll. ❝ Then again, most Americans can’t even work their own language out, as proven. ❞

Ever since Fiona’s vampire gene was first triggered, she hasn’t been able to control her vampirism around blood. No matter how hard she tried, she always turned into her own worst enemy around blood, her sharp fangs forming at the slightest scent of blood. As she tried her best to control herself before she caused a scene in the town square, she held onto her forehead to try and get rid of the incoming headache that had come along with it. “I’m fine.” She reassured the first person that had offered their help, not wanting anyone else’s help with something she knew she had to learn how to do herself. “Can you just give me some space please?” She asked as she could slowly feel herself losing her humanity. @newbornfallsstarter​​

As soon as green hues focused on the red head, August knew there was something wrong with his cousin. A frown appeared as the young man made his way to the other. ❝ I’m having a hard time believing that one, ❞ he quipped at the blatant lie. He did take a couple steps back, arms raised in mock surrender, but still stayed close enough to talk to the girl. ❝ What’s wrong. ❞

Harmony didn’t make it a habit to serve minors - for obvious reasons - but, well. It was her brother, and their father’s bar. That was an exception she was willing to make, and as it was, his commentary was better than the conversation she’d be getting on the other end of the bar. She leaned against the counter, letting her eyes wander into the direction of his words, “yeah, I’ll take that action.” She agreed with an easy grin, taking in just how heated the conversation seemed to be turning. “Maybe she’ll even throw in a slap if he says something douchey enough.”

His sister’s reply only made the teen’s smirk grow larger, blue eyes shinning with unbridled mischief. There was a reason why he constantly found himself bothering his sister at Rousseu’s when he had nothing better to do; Harmony always made for good company. ❝ Now, you just made me want it to happen, H, ❞ he complained playfully. And maybe he could get to what he wanted as now the woman was getting up. ❝ But first go for the glass, ❞ he said, even if the stranger couldn’t hear him. He wanted that money.

“Hmm? But that’s so mean, noo, I don’t think she would do that.” Riley quickly looked between the couple and August as she shook her head.

August sighed in sheer disappointment. ❝ It’s not mean if he deserved. ❞ And from what he’d gathered, the guy certainly did. ❝ And, more importantly, it would be fun for us. ❞

Erik was punching the bag when the noise of a door closing pulled him away from his thoughts. Stopping for a minute, he turned his head to look at who had walked in and sighed. “I’ll be leaving soon, then you’ll have it all for yourself.” He told the other with a nod. @newbornfallsstarter​

August walked closer to his cousin, leaning against the wall and shrugging casually. ❝ Don’t mind me.  Far from me to deprive you from the destruction of an innocent punching bag, ❞ the younger Mikaelson quipped. ❝ What has it done to piss you off, anyway? ❞

“Oh no way am I taking that bet because she 100% will be throwing her drink in his face.” Skylar laughed, “Watch… Give it 10 seconds.”

Laughter erupted at his cousin’s words, August couldn’t even be too disappointed. ❝ I kind of want to know what the hell the idiot did. A little background on our characters, ❞ he joked.

“Seriously?” Hope questioned as she looked to August, “I’m not in the mood for betting today.”

He quirked an eyebrow at his older sister’s reaction; you didn’t need to be a psychic to know that the woman was in a mood. ❝ Someone’s a little cranky, ❞ he commented while he sipped on his drink. ❝ What got you ready for blood, anyway? ❞

“And why would I bet on that? If anything she would slap him and just walk out.” She spoke as she used her vampire hearing to listen into the conversation and could hear it in the girls voice that she was getting upset.

❝ The word fun comes to mind, ❞ he replied mirthfully. ❝ And you can always put your money in that, if you’d prefer, ❞ he added and smirked. ❝ But you can use privileged information, no eavesdropping. ❞ He couldn’t be sure the woman was doing that, but it was always a safe bet with super-hearing. 

August sat at the bar with a drink that he wasn’t technically old enough to order (not that his age had ever stopped the teenager) and eyes on a table on the far corner where two people seemed to be in the middle of an argument. ❝ Twenty bucks say she will throw her drink at the boyfriend, ❞ he commented to the other.
