For the most part, Manuel tended to look at things cynically and plan for any possible outcome. Of course humans were unpredictable, and could flip like a switch, he knew that as well, but planning meant he could normally quickly figure out a solution. But the one thing he had no idea how to handle was the Mellina’s returning to town, and with Hector’s unknown child in tow. He’d planned to stay out of that as much as possible. Of course he loved his niece, even if she was a surprise, but he was under no illusion that this would go the way her parents wanted it to. And now Celi had dragged him into it, even if she told him that she’d take the fall, the minute in affected the cartel, he would change history. Didn’t matter if they hated him, no one else wanted to do his work. The one thing he did know was that he wouldn’t show his hand just yet. So when Fran and Bree came into the shop, he pushed it down, least for now. “Hey kiddo” he said to Bree, wishing she wasn’t caught up in this. “Dare I ask, actually shopping for books, or?” this time to Fran, hoping it would appear that he didn’t know what was going on.  @franmellina

Killian: We need to talk, privately

       Nervous was an accurate description. She exhaled a low puff of air, glancing to Fran and back to the horses in front of her. She hadn’t been on a horse since her accident. Ever since she had met Fran, they had had a few brief conversations about horses and she didn’t know how it had gotten to this point. Her new friend somehow convincing her to jump back on the saddle. Reins in hand. She rocked on the soles of her riding boots. Fitted and stiff. They weren’t worn in like the once nestled in the back of her wardrobe. One’s she hadn’t touched in months. “I can’t believe you’ve convinced me to do this,” she muttered, slightly bemused that anyone could get her to do anything. “Can you write wicked, stupid blonde in my memoirs?” she joked, winking at Fran.

To the best of his abilities Manuel had been lying low. He had gone to see his other siblings, but other then that, he hadn’t really been anywhere but work and his apartment. He had wanted to avoid running into Hector, at least until his own emotions were back under control. He didn’t want to be in the middle of some family argument, but he also wasn’t exactly alright with this situation. But avoiding Hector, also meant avoiding Fran and Bree. He imagined she would be on Hector’s side in this. He understood it, but he wouldn’t argue. “I know, worst uncle ever, I’ll make it up to her soon ok?” he said when he did see Fran. Well he hardly wanted to pull Bree into this, but he didn’t want to accidentally say something about her dad to her. @franmellina​

“Does everyone just see the closed sign and think that means, come in” Killian muttered, almost not surprised at this point, just irritated. Never a good sign, and he was mentally counting the seconds as he breathed in and out so that he kept his cool. it always started over something small, but he could not risk getting angry. Though that was soon replaced with something else when he saw it was Fran. He could hope she hadn’t recognised him in the mask, but even if she had... nothing had happened with Vivienne. Almost happened, but that was hardly the same thing. “Ah, guess this is you cashing in on that free drink”. @franmellina

He knew he was hardly the most popular person here right now. Normally that didn’t bother him, but it was just for taking someone’s side, before all the facts came out, well that was a little harder to stomach. Still, he was going to pretend he wasn’t aware of that, as if everything was fine, and hope that it might just turn out that way for once. Not that he wanted to rely on hope, but he could only plan so much, and others emotions were one he couldn’t do. It only took a moment before he noticed the ring. Oh that definitely threw a spanner into the mix. “Looks like congratulations are in order” he said with a smile when he finally did get a moment with Fran. It was genuine, he only wanted his brother to be happy. His concerns came with what this now meant for the business. @franmellina​

After last time, Killian was well aware that an event where there was free alcohol probably wasn’t the best place to go in town. It had taken what had felt like forever after the masquerade before people stopped asking questions, and now he knew it was even more complicated than before. Apparently it was even harder then ever to just ask someone on a date... who knew. Seeing Fran he closed his eyes for a moment, oh this would be fun. “What have I done this time? I’ve just been drinking this warm beer... seriously who is serving?” and also gone on a date with Vivienne, but that was not the point. @franmellina​

I know, I know. Not everyone can be this flawless all the time. But she does it damn well && yes, we got drunk after this with some wine. Singing the sweet sweet tunes of Grease. I make a badass Danny. #OhSandy @franmellina
