Mei

"When we finish you, fresh meat, you'll have to start learning how to breathe out your ears."

Well, that was not a big surprise. Just as Mei thought it probably wouldn’t matter what she did, they just wanted to fight. Mei didn’t want to but well… there wasn’t anything to do really. They had made up their mind and Mei just had to take it. Even if she didn’t like it.

As the first punch landed at the bruise from before she coughed once again by force. She lowered her head and stared at the floor, fighting the urge to cry again. Crying here didn’t seem like good choice. Even if that was pretty much the only thing she wanted to do, lie down on the floor and turn herself into a ball just hulking. Why did everyone have to be so mean? And violent.

Mei wanted to apologize for whatever it was she had done wrong, but apologizing would most likely not help with this kind of people. As the pain got worse Mei’s face got turned into a grimace which showed how much it hurt her. Even if she could keep the tears from streaming down her face it was getting to her. The pain was almost unbearable.

Dominique

What to say about the situation, to tell the truth Dominique felt his presence even before he came up to her. When searching the list to see if they had her favorite wine she felt observed, to say the least. And well Butch had that kind of aura around him and Dominique was used to it from way back, so by that she knew it was him who stood beside her.

"Hey, Dominique. Um, sorry about earlier today. It was immature. From first seeing you in your office to hurting Greg, I don't know what I was thinking. And if you're still pissed, I'll understand. "

Dominique looked up at him as he spoke and leaned against the counter, “Well hello there Butch. I’m not that surprised to see you here. It looks like a place you would hang out in.”

She studied him a while before continuing with a smile, “I’m not that mad at you anymore, I heard that you watched over Greg when he was unconscious. I’m proud of you Butch, you did the right thing in the end.” She patted him softly on the shoulder with the right hand as the smile grew bigger, “I’m really proud of you. And your little... moment gave me a promotion, I'm thankful for that. I really am. You probably know this already but we are partners now apparently, the warden assigned me to the Archer sister's too.”

She turned to the list again and continued reading it when the idea came to her. Well it wasn’t a big idea and it was mostly a joke, but hey it wasn’t anything wrong with it either. She looked up at Butch once again and giggled, “Butchie… I’ll forgive you completely if you buy me a drink. And since you came here to talk let's talk, so what have you been doing all this years? It looks like you're doing fine."
