“Chilly me willy!” Seamus burst out when one of the twins came around. “ Who sent in the jailbait?”, he asked Madelene leaning slightly besides her acting as if the girl was not in their presence. He didn’t like the look the maid gave him nor the tone in her voice, so different from what anyone else would expect to come from such an angelic creature. The red haired reporter was used to all kinds of hostile behaviors when it came to his work (or so he liked to think, in reality this happened more often because of his difficult personality), but he would not take anything of the sort from a teenager. He opened his lips ready to let out another little piece of heaven but something in Madelene’s presence stopped him. He was never courteous, lady or no lady besides him, but this time he let it go, following the two back to the estate.

He looked down at his boots, all full of dirt. These old leather boots, a bit tattered on the sides but always shinny had seen a lot in the past couple of years: from the well-worked muscles or flappy bellies which belonged to all sorts of bodyguards to the soft bed in which Seamus often fell asleep without removing them first from his feet. Not all were pleasant experiences, some incidents in the life of a boot gave a whole new meaning to the southern expression “Don’t you piss on my leg and tell me it’s rainin’ ! ”, but they were cared for tenderly by their owner, mainly because they weren’t just his favorite pair, but the only one he possessed. And now they were dirty again giving Seamus another reason on top of the rest for being hotheaded again.
“Ain’t that bad if I get back to the bar” he said to himself, thinking that he might as well buy a bottle or two for later when the thirst would strike again. His metal bottle was also empty for some time and he needed his “energy” to survive the already tiring day. The drinks would have to wait, however, when the three of them arrived at the entrance another blonde teenager was there,greeting one of the Lucky Draws, a certain Elise.

“Blood’ mary’s toma~tho, I’m already seeing double” he joked in his rough voice, letting out a strange chuckle that frightened the guest.
Before saying anything more a young man entered the scene and introduced himself as Ezreal Jaeger and for a moment Seamus thought that there was a chance of good company amongst this “shower of savages” as he called them. The man seemed better built than him and even Seamus would think twice before landing him a punch in the nose if the occasion arrived.
“A’ right? “ he asked the man lending his hand in greeting as Madalene introduced herself to the two.
“And I’m Seamus, the red fairy that’ll show ya around” he continued her line smiling ironically, looking at Elise with interest.
