Violet eyes glanced from side to side, and with a pale hand, the platinum-blonde pushed a few locks of hair out of his face and behind an ear, a worried smile upon his pink lips. "R-Really sir, I think you've had enough." He suggested and fidgeted in place. Of course, he was in a dress today. Ironic how that worked. "Why don' yeh get m'nother beer, sweetheart?" The man slurred in response and swayed. Tino's fidgeting increased. "No sir, I can't do that, you've had more than enough for tonight." His voice became a little sterner and he forced himself to stand up straighter. "What's a pret'y girl like yeh doin' in this—hic—bar an'ways, hun?" He asked and sat up straighter as well, the Finnish man's expression blanching. "P-Pardon?" Now it was getting shady, he needed to get away, and fast. "Ya heard meh." He grinned, "It'd be much more fun a' m'house, girlie. I'd show yeh a reallll…hic…good time." That did it.
"Berwald!" Within seconds, the Swedish man was by Tino's side, his usually blank face contorted into a dark glare. He watched the drunkard's expression blanch as he gave the nod to the Swede, the signal for removal. As the man was tossed out into the falling snow, Tino sighed internally. He hadn't meant to get that frightened, but the last time he'd been talked to like that….The blonde felt a shudder threaten to travel up his spine, but he pushed it away. No need to break down in the bar. With a smile, he half-skipped along to the other tables, gathering orders.
He had work to do. There was no time for idle thoughts, no time to reflect. No, not now. That would all be solved later on, when he was walking out in the falling night snow, breathing the cold night air. That was when the man would think. It would be when his thoughts were the most clear and concise as well. That thought made him smile softly, a real smile. Even though he knew it was dangerous, he had a way to defend himself. The blonde knew he couldn't rely on the others forever. That was why he had bought the gun, a means of self-defense.
Or so he told himself.
