Peem sat down next to her, breaking off half of his pretzel, putting it in her hand. "Here." He shrugged. "I'm fine...though you look like someone killed your favorite kitten there, lassie. Things went bad for ye since we last talked?"

Smokes tried to smile, but she couldn't. Not even a fake one appeared on her face. "I ran into Coop."

Peem flinched. "Is the bair dead? Injured?" He looked her over. Clearly, she wasn't harmed. "...what happened?"

She shrugged. "I couldn't do it. I pulled my gun and had it right there."
Smoked seemed dazed, like she was repeating the whole thing over again. "Somethin' was holdin' me back."

Peem shrugged. "For what it's worth...I'm glad you didn't." He put a hand on her shoulder lightly. "Anotha death isn't really going to solve anything...but are you going to be okay?"
Her family might turn on her now. Which would be disasterous.

Smokes looked at him. "If word gets out I let him go, I'll get kill--by my own people."
She put her head back down. "Yeah, I'll be fine."

He paused. "...I have an apartment."

Smokes cocked her head back and shook her head. "You didn't get me into nothin. I just couldn't get what you said out 'a my head." She shrugged. "How's anyone gonna know, anyway."
Smokes knew that was her biggest mistake, to underestimate them. Someone probably already knew.

Peem raised an eyebrow. "If they are like our clans--they might know." He sighed and smiled a bit. "Let me be a bonny gentleman and help ye out."

Smokes smiled. "Thanks, but--" she stopped.
It felt like something had forcefully kicked her from behind. She quickly looked behind her only to see no one there. She turned back to Peem. She bit her lip, nervousness showing in her eyes. "It's no trouble?"

Peem nodded. "Nay...Tis' not a problem." He smirked. "Besides...I don't get to play a white knight much now, do I?" He smirked.

She laughed a little. "Well, if you insist, how can I resist?"

Smokes shook her head. "No problem at all. It's better than nowhere."
She smiled. Even though she only knew him for a short time, Peem always got her out of the slumps she was in. Atleast got her to be a little less slumpish.

Peem smiled back and hugged her lightly, ruffling her hair. "There now...there is da smile I like in ya." He laughed, standing up.
"..Oh, and just to warn ye, me mum is a bit of a bunderbuss...she'll talk ye ear off and hug ya near ta death before you even get to say hello!"
