IC :: Katherine was knocked out. And Shiva was really worried. "Uh, should we try to get him back to the others- or try to find some bandages for him? Or-" She had no idea how to treat someone with a bullet wound. Sure, she had gotten them, but she didn't really recall what happened to get them out. Or help the person bleeding.
--
Nathan was searching for Norman and Klause. He was doing a fast pace to get back to them- and then the gunshots. That noise was bad, very bad, and considering he knew only Wesley's people were knocked out, Cero and Buibui had heard and they were the more real danger at the moment of appearing.

Loreto glanced over at Winslow. Great, now he was blushing too. Well this was awkward. He turned his gaze back down to the table and took a sip of his drink to calm himself down a little. He cleared his throat before he spoke again. "So, um, where do you think Cliff went off to this time?" he asked, trying to change the subject to something else other than this.

IC Nikolas didn't answer her at first, instead he just knelt down beside Kai, murmuring comforts to him. "It'll be okay Kai, we just need to fix you up," he told him quietly, reaching out to grab Kai's hand and tenderly move it away from the wound. "Lift up your shirt so I can see how bad it is," he added, moving his free hand to give Kai a comforting squeeze on the shoulder.
Kai looked at him, blinking again. "The others aren't going to like this," he muttered, lifting up his shift to show Nikolas. "They aren't going to like it, are they, Niko?" He asked, keeping his gaze firmly planted on Nikolas.
"Ty and Norman won't blame you for getting shot, Kai. It's fine," Nikolas promised as he looked at the wound. It was pretty deep. "Shiva, Nathan, one of you go find Norman and Klause. We need to wrap this up and get Kai out of here. I'm going to bring him back to the car, you two will have to help the others get out," he instructed as he looked back to Kai. "I'm going to pick you up, okay?" He questioned and Kai just kind of nodded along.

IC Winslow was glad for the distraction from the previous topic. "Ah, that's the million dollar question today. He conveniently keeps disappearing," he said, voice getting quiet and grumbly at the end as he shot a glance off towards a random direction. "I bet he won't come back until it's time to go, he's been doing that an awful lot lately, and it's just barely after lunch."

IC :: Shiva looked to Nathan, still a snow leopard, however it was easy to tell he was pleased with what was happening. He gave a short nod and began to move, so Shiva looked to Nikolas and say, "Okay, I'll go with him to get the other two, be safe..." she said before moving to catch up with the shifter hybrid that had gone ahead.

"Considering how things have been going so far today, you are probably right about that one. But it's his loss then because he won't get any cheesecake." Loreto said, saying the last part with a slight smile.

IC Nikolas lifted Kai up with a little bit of difficulty, he had put on quite a bit of muscle since the last time Nikolas had to carry him. He hadn't really realized it since Kai was so lean. "I don't think I've been shot before..." Kai mused to himself. "You have, and Ty, and Norman too...guess it was my turn," he said, sort of just talking for the sake of talking, which Nikolas let him as he started back towards the way they came in.
-
Meanwhile, Klause and Norman had lost the scent trail and were just standing in a hallway at the moment. "What do you mean you lost the scent, Klause? Scents don't just disappear!" Norman snapped at him, hands on his hips while Klause gave an apologetic shrug.
"I'm sorry! There's a lot of different smells here, new ones! I got distracted and it got lost in the scent mix, just give me a minute and I can pick it up again, promise," Klause said as he began to sniff the air and Norman just grumbled.
-
Winslow smirked at that as well. "True, guess he'll just have to come back if he wants any," he agreed, resting his arms on the table as he leaned forward on it. He still had his suspicions about Cliff and what he was up to, but it had been a pretty good day so far, he was willing to put it out of his mind for now. Besides, it really was Cliff's loss. Now he didn't get any cheesecake.
-
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Cliff had himself a plate of pumpkin cheesecake as he leaned against the counter, watching the clock as he ate. "...and now you guys can go take their orders," he said as a waiter left and Cliff beamed rather happily. "I love having money. Who knew bribing people was so much fun!" He said and held out his plate to one of the bakers. "More, please," he said and the baker rolled his eyes but took the plate from him to get another piece all the same.

"Speaking of cheesecake, where is our waiter so that we can order some?" Loreto questioned as he glanced around the restaurant. Hopefully the person taking their order won't think they are on a date like the other waitress did.

IC :: She gave a small sigh of relief, it was awkward with the silence as they moved to the pair ahead of them. She started to try and get their attention, but couldn't as Nathan spoke first. Which led to her other realization he switched out of animal form very quickly. "Norman, it's best to leave, gunshots- which absolutely means the others know you are here, the more dangerous ones at least."

IC Right then, a waiter came by with a small notepad as he flipped it open and clicked his pen. "Alright, have you two settled on something to eat?" He asked, looking at them for a second and Winslow nodded, quickly shoving the menu at the waiter. "Yeah, I'll take a piece of the raspberry and he will have one of the red velvet, now off you go," he urged, wanting to get him out of the way before he assumed they were on a date as well.
-
Norman turned around quickly when he heard Nathan talking. "What? We can't leave yet. Klause just caught scent of the trail again," he said, gesturing to the dog hybrid. "We need a sample to save Ty, Ives, and everybody else. We're so close, we can't leave yet," Norman explained, folding his arms stubbornly. He couldn't give this up, how else would they save everyone?

IC :: Nathan went silent, trying to figure out how to handle this. For one, there was basically no arguing with the stubborn squirrel, and he didn't really feel like it after all that had happened so far. "Fine, but your brothers are going back to the car. Kai was shot by one of the Adalinas. But seriously, it is extremely dangerous at the moment. Buibui and Cero are likely prepared for a fight at least, and we have no clue where they are."

Loreto was ready to order for himself, but he guessed Winslow had that covered. "Yeah, what he said." he told the waiter as he handed off his menu to him. He just hoped now that they didn't mention anything about a date, especially now that Winslow ordered for the both of them.

IC "...Kai got shot?" Norman repeated dumbly. "...How bad is it?" He questioned, suddenly torn. He wanted to be with his brother, but without that sample, he would lose another. It was a tricky spot. "It doesn't matter right now. Here, change of plan. Klause, Shiva, you two go back, have Beau drive you guys away. I'll stay here, find the sample, and sneak out on my own. It's less likely that anyone would notice one person over many. Klause, how close are we?" He asked, looking to the dog hybrid.
"Close, I think it's probably just in one of these rooms," Klause explained and Norman nodded, that was good enough for him.

IC The waiter took the menus, obviously trying his best not to snap at them. "Right...we'll be out with those as soon as we can. Enjoy your date," he said and walked off. Winslow watched him go, mentally cursing under his breath. Another person thought that too? This was getting ridiculous and it was either he embarrassed or be irritated, so he was going with irritated. "It's not a date..."

IC :: Shiva kinda wanted to reject, just two people left to find it? It seemed too small, but she found that she couldn't. Right now, she couldn't really offer any help that Nathan couldn't handle. But she was surprised Norman was going to send away Klause as well. He was at least able to find it out... "Okay Norman." She ended up not rejecting it, but agreeing, ready to go.
She did look over to Nathan who looked like somebody was making a stupid mistake, but he wasn't going to go against it. She didn't need to guess to know what he was thinking, Norman was putting himself in a dangerous spot.

Again? How did both of their waiters say that to them? Like, what was it about the two of them that made it look like they were on a date? Loreto took the embarrassed side of things and a blush came rising back to his face.

OOC Sorry for poofing, I was downloading music.
They are very cute.
IC Klause leaned down first, talking to Norman quietly as he pointed in a few directions and recited some instructions, then once he was done, he stood back up. "Remember that, because if you send me off, I can't lead you to the disease," he warned and Norman sent him a look.
"I got it Klause, now you and Shiva need to get out of here, I'll get the sample and go back later. I don't want anyone else getting hurt during this," he said and pointed for Klause and Shiva to leave, which Klause did, after a brief moment to look from Norman to Nathan. For some reason, Klause could get Norman's family-who from what he had seen, very pretty protective of him, would like this.
-
Winslow gave a sort of nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his head. "Those waiters...they uh, they probably assume any two people here are on a date..." he said, trailing off. "Doesn't mean we are on a date or anything. People are just...stupid, yeah," he said and looked down before a thought came to him and he looked back up. "Not that anyone dating you would be stupid-no, wait, that came out wrong. It's just that we clearly aren't on a date-that would be stupid, uh, I mean, not stupid, just impossible, you know?" He paused, quickly realizing he just kept digging a bigger hole for himself and stopped, clearing his throat. "Anyways, so uh, nice weather we're having huh?" He asked, looking around, glad that they had gotten an outside table.

IC :: Shiva left after Klause with a final unsure look at Norman. She took in a breath and followed Klause. Leaving just Nathan and Norman, the snow leopard said under his breath so Norman would hear, "You realize this is one of the stupidest ideas you've had. You know, aside from you deciding to blow up a place, right?"

IC Norman looked over at Nathan. "Kai got shot. No one else needs to get hurt. Klause told me the directions to the most dominant smell for the disease. I'll just follow that, grab the sample, and skedaddle. There, everyone's saved and no one else gets hurt," he explained, starting off. However what Kai had said earlier that day still lingered in his mind. "You might get hurt! I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt!" Norman's ears flattened, trying to ignore the guilt tugging at his heart. "Anyways, let's get moving."

IC :: "All I'm saying is it's stupid. I suppose in a way, it can be seen as intelligent, but all in all, the danger is high. You can barely fight last I remember, but this leaves me as your only real 'guard' at the moment, and if anyone else comes, then I won't be able to really handle them at the moment, in the instance it is more than one at least. But the quicker it's done, the better." Nathan said starting to move forward as he spoke anyway. He currently had to hope that Buibui and Cero were with Michael and that the scientist had decided to not have a confrontation with the intruders.

Loreto looked across the table at Winslow and listened to him as he rambled on. Oh gosh, he was just making things worse and even more awkward. He was a little thankful for the question he popped in at the end though. "Yeah, the weather's great." he answered and looked down at the table as he took a sip of his drink.

IC Norman continued walking, muttering the directions under his breath. "Yeah, believe me, I know it's stupid. I've been told I'm an idiot. But this idiot is more concerned with everyone else getting out safe than me," he said, ignoring the little tug in the back of his mind. However it just kept bugging him. "...This is the right thing to do, right? I mean, I know I'm risking my life, but everyone else is safe, that's good, that's better, right?" He questioned, quietly rambling now as he walked.
-
At that, Winslow didn't know what else to say next, luckily for him, he was saved as someone else came and slid two plates down on the table, each with a piece of cheesecake. "Nice choices, personally I prefer the pumpkin, but I've always liked pumpkin flavored anything," Cliff admitted with a grin as he looked down at the table, enjoying this all a bit too much.

IC :: Nathan didn't respond. After all of these years though, one would think that everybody cannot stay safe constantly, no matter how far you go to save them. Considering all that's happened here anyway. But he reasoned with himself, sure no one can keep everyone safe forever, but for now at least. And as he really didn't want to get into an argument about idiocy, what Norman currently was doing was brave, risking himself, stupid and extremely foolish, but he had the right reasons even if he wasn't thinking it through. Currently Nathan could just help by helping him through it without getting harmed.

IC Continuing on, Norman stopped in front of a door. “This is where Klause said it should be...it’s probably locked though, right?” Norman questioned rhetorically, of course it was locked. People wouldn’t be stupid enough to not lock it, would they? Norman reached out to turn the handle before stepping back. “Yeah, it’s locked. Think we can pick the lock or break the door down?”

Honestly, why the snow leopard thought that Michael would plain up put it in that room was slightly unbelievable to him. "Which also means he is most likely in there- if not with the others..." That, that really didn't help things.

Loreto let out a small sigh of relief when Cliff came by with the cheesecake, glad that they were both saved from the awkwardness. "Thanks Cliff." he said to him with a smile then looked down at the plate in front of him. He then picked up a fork and took a bite. At least while they were eating they didn't have to talk.
