"We were just going to get more ice cream to go with your cake," Wolfe explained tiredly.

"Oh..." Tulip replied, "Well, carry on." And she walked off.

--

Too late, James was already walking forward, straight for them.

Raven glanced back at Wolfe and raised his eyebrows. When Tulip was gone, he bowed a little to Wolfe.

--

"James!" she whispered, staying back. Then she paused before starting to cuss. He was going to try and beat Nic up.

So she got out of hiding, running over. "Nic!" she called. But Nic seemed reluctant to stop.

Wolfe smirked before taking Raven's hand and walking off.

--

Laurel was too absorbed with Nic to notice Yue either. Until James came out of no where and tried to rip Nic away from Laurel.

Raven chuckled as Wolfe lead him off.

--

"Nic!" Yue called again as she kept running forward.

Nic pulled away enough to shove James away, irritated.

Laurel cried out a little, "James?! What the ter-?" she was cut off again as James sprung from the ground towards Nic once more.

"Don't kill him, Nic!" Yue shouted again as she came forward.

Nic let James come, looking for a fight now.

James was clearly a little mad as he lunged straight at Nic. Laurel was still too stunned to do anything.

Yue got to Laurel, grabbing arm to keep her back incase she ever decided to to anything.

Meanwhile Nic fought James. James was bigger, but Nic clearly had more skill. After awhile it became clear Nic was just playing with him.

That wasn't clear to James, he was fighting like a madman. Eventually Laurel started struggling against Yue.

Yue did her best to keep Laurel back. "You'll only get hurt," she tried to explain to Laurel.

Nic let James keep coming, letting him tire out on his own. It looked like Nic could do this all night.

James attacked Nic for awhile before suddenly lunging at Laurel with eyes full of lust.

Nic suddenly clobbered into James, knocking him to the ground. "What do you think you're doing, long?" he asked, sounding pissed off.

Yue blinked at James, face blank for a moment. Then she slowly shook her head, trying to drag Laurel off.

James struggled to get up and go after Laurel.

Laurel started to shutter at the look in James' eyes as she let Yue drag her off.

Nic kept James pinned down on the ground.

Yue kept dragging Yue off faster and faster until they were back inside. Then she paused taking some deep breaths as if they had been running, still holding onto Laurel.

James kept thrashing until Laurel was out of sight, then he suddenly became oddly still. He didn't back after that and stayed panting on the ground.

Laurel was breathing hard too, "What... was that all about?" she whispered in a shaking voice to Yue.

Nic kept James pinned to the ground regardless, glaring down at him.

--

Yue took a few more moments before shaking her head a little, not looking at Laurel. "... He..." she whispered, swallowing a little, "is drawn to you..."
