That moment when the person you were talking to starts flirting with someone else and you become the awkward third wheel. I think you should give up with the socialzing Zephyr.

Shade Family

Duke Shade spent most of his life having people owe him. As the owner of  of the biggest clubs, he was well versed with the Chicago underbelly. His establishments included everything from relatively legal BDSM clubs and bars, to the lesser wanted brothels and poker rooms. His businesses allowed him to live comfortably, get help from the local gangs when needed, and gave him access to enough girls to last him a lifetime. He was known to be unforgiving and ruthless, hated getting dirty and found ways to end people that meant he didn’t have to pay for the dry cleaners later. He was however fair, made sure the girls who worked for him got protection and were not mistreated. What he had not counted on was falling for one of the girls. Adeline worked in the upper-class strip club since having immigrated to the USA earlier after her parents death. She fled from an abusive boyfriend and was not opposed to dancing in the club. After one of the patrons attempted to obtain more than he was due, and Duke made sure the man could not attempt this again, she fell for him, too. The man had been the son of one of the gang leaders, and as such they wanted retribution and attempted to ruin Duke. He passed his businesses over to a trusted partner and took Adeline with him to the settlement to live out his retirement in peace.
