declan was typically in the business of minding his own business. perhaps if he had kept up with tradition he wouldn’t be wiping beer from his cheeks, and wiping ice cubes off his sweater. if they asked him he’d say he only intervened out of duty to his job. truthfully, he didn’t think anyone deserved to be spoken to like they had been. “ i’m alright, it’s good. ” he assured as he took the napkin from their hand to dab at his own cheeks. “ are you okay, though ? i think he’s the type to hold a grudge. ”

it serves him right, was the single thought spooking through the blond’s mind as he watched the other wiping the crushed ice from his drenched sweatshirt. “ i didn’t ask, ” he noted instantly, almost making it sound like a matter of fact. not asking didn’t imply that he didn’t care about the other being alright having gotten a half empty pint thrown into his face. “ m’fine. i could’ve dealt with him myself though. i am not some damsel in distress that needs saving, dec. save that knight in shining armour act for someone else. ” regardless of the harsher edge to his words, the realization of the rather miserable image before him brought upon a choked chuckle. perhaps at the bizarre reality of the situation sinking in properly. “ you’ve got nerve though, i’ll give you that. that dude was twice either of our size. ”
