[Liethell]

"I'm not laughing at you, no, not at, you're just too adorable! I almost can't believe you exist!" He grins and tries to stifle his laughter. It comes out looking like a childish grin instead.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent still looks unhappy as he looks at Liet, deciding whether he wants to believe his words or not. "I'm not adorable." He kind of mumbles. He doesn't understand how Liet thinks he's adorable or anything. He doesn't see it at least.

[Liethell]

"You're so adorable." He beams at him, "And not in a sexual way either, you're just adorable. Did you need a box for your food, by the way? I don't want to stay too long and bore you." He leans on the table, staring off at the wall behind Vincent.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent just shakes his head, not seeing the adorable part. Not many guys just accept being called adorable. "I don't think you can bore me...though I do need a box..." With how Liet acts, he doubts he'll be bored any time soon.

[Liethell]

He grins and glances around at nothing in particular. Or maybe he is looking, it's hard to tell. "Mind helping me find Brennan?" The boy in question is not there, but there's a gaggle of waiters and waitresses crowded around the entrance to the kitchen. It's hard to tell what they're looking at, but they're too far to call to...

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent just watches Liet a bit. "Um sure...." He looks around a bit. "I'll be right back....see if I can find him." And part of him is a bit curious about what's going on anyway. He can't resist all of his curiousity and all. He gets up before starting to pad over to the gaggle of waiters and waitresses.

[Liethell]

Liethell nods and lets him go. As he approaches the crowd, Vincent notices they're huddled around a door. It's cracked open slightly, and he can see the restaurant manager speaking with two burly looking cops, their eyes covered with reflective sunglasses. One of the cops notices him, and grins at him with all the love and warmth of iron bars in winter. They do not look like the safe sort of officers. The manager's speech is muffled by the chatter of his customers inside, but he can catch words like 'cooperate' and 'warrant' and 'searching my customers'. He's not a tall man, but he looks even more nervous and frightful and small in front of these officers.

[Yokuutsu]

The cop just scares Vincent, him paling a bit. He doesn't know what they're here for, but that cop....well....he's scary. And cops normally don't scare him. Most of them are alright. Some aren't, but that's people in general. He catches a bit of it before he goes back to Liet. "Um....I think we should go now." He says softly to the other. He's got a bad feeling about this in general. If it wasn't for the cops themselves, he probably wouldn't be like this. There should be no warrant or anything out for him...to his knowledge.

[Liethell]

The officer's eyes seem to follow him as he walks back. There was something strange about his eyes. Liethell, conversely, is entirely oblivious. He was whistling a tune when Vincent returned, but his concerned tone stops the tune right away. "What's the matter?" He gives him a strange look, but he doesn't question his suggestion. He's already digging for his wallet to pay for the meal.

[Yokuutsu]

With the officer watching him, it's almost instinct for Vincent to want to run away like this. He doesn't feel safe, and that usually leads to bad things happening usually. "Um...well....something about a warrant? But either way, I just...don't feel safe with them here....the cops." He's on edge, as he speaks softly.

[Liethell]

"Them?" He scrunches up his face. It's only when Vincent mentions the police officers does he piece it all together. He pulls out his wallet and leaves more than enough for the meal under the salt and pepper. He stands, takes his cane, and wraps an arm around Vincent's shoulders. At this particular moment, the gaggle of waiters and waitresses begins to break up as the manager returns, still talking to the officers just outside. "You're going to have to listen to me." There's a rough slam as the door closes. The officers are inside the building, and they're fast approaching the two. "You need to get into the sewer system. Find a manhole hidden from view and go from there. You're going to be without me for a while. That's okay, as long as you have this, I'll be able to find you again." He pats his chest, and seems to shake his hand as if to say goodbye. There's a weight in Vincent's hand now, a very small one. He nudges Vincent towards the door and waves with that cheerful smile on his face. It's as if he's sending an old friend off...

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent nods a bit, feeling anxious and all. He can't help it, he feels like something bad is about to go down and all. He leans into Liet a bit, feeling a bit better as long as he's there. Though that won't last too long obviously. "But....I don't want to leave you here...will you be alright?" It just doesn't feel right leaving Liet behind like this and all. He kind of whines as he's nudges. "Alright....bye." He hopes something horrible doesn't happen as he heads out.

[Liethell]

Liethell leaves Vincent with no answer about whether or not he'll be alright. An officer taps him on the shoulder and he turns to meet him, and that's the last glimpse he sees of the peculiar not-quite-demon, not-quite-man.

He's out in the sidewalk now. He sees no one he recognizes, even though a crowd is starting to form. Down either side of the road, he sees buildings, some with names and most without signs he can read from this distance. He's in an older section of the town, meaning there are likely to be a few alleys, and possibly one with a manhole he can slip through. He doesn't see the couple that drove them here at all.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent Can't help but worry about Liet as he walks. Maybe he should have stayed. He, obviously, doesn't trust the cops...and they might hurt Liet. The idea kind of hurts him really. For now, he keeps moving, away from the crowd. At some point, he finds a manhole down an alleyway....that he doesn't feel like he'll get killed on, before he's able to get the cover off enough to slip down. There's one thing he didn't think about-what does he do now that he's down here?

[Liethell]

The manhole cover was holding back a horrific stench. Now that it's off, he can smell it full blast. Thankfully, the moment he climbs down, he starts getting used to the smell. There's a metal ladder that leads down to a concrete catwalk that extends to his left and right, and as far as he can tell, there's no discernible features either way. In front of him is a huge semicircle filled partway with...nastiness. He sees no light, hears nothing down here. Thankfully, there are no alligators in the sewers like some people seem to think, nd there are no cops chasing them either...

[Yokuutsu]

It may be a horrible stench that may just make Vincent gag, but he'd rather take on the stench instead of the creepy cops any day. He climbs down, not nowing what else to do, looking around a bit. "But....what am I supposed to do now?" He asks himself softly. Supposedly the place is underground, but where from here? He knows he could get lost so easily at this moment. But staying here isn't going to do anything for him either, so he picks a direction and starts heading that way.
