"Oh Lord!" Lauren breathed as she and Bo stumbled into the kitchen to find Kenzi and Dyson locking lips at the sink full of dishes and bubbles. Something clicked into place for her, Kenzi had been adamant about not being examined. Obviously, there was some "evidence" of what had been going on in the intervening hours between the end of the trial and now. Lauren shook her head slightly, not wanting the images of where and what the marks could be.

Bo came to a halt, the plates and mug in her hands clattering to the floor "What the fu...?" Dyson and Kenzi snapped apart faster than velcro on a stripper's pants. Kenzi turned to face to Bo, her cheeks a pale shade of pink. Dyson leaned back against the sink, crossing his legs and arms. His hand rubbed over his lips.

Kenzi stepped forward "Bo, it's not what it looked like."

"It looks like my ex is shoving his tongue down the throat of my best friend!" Bo said her voice rising. "And she looks to be enjoying it just a little bit too much."

"Yep...well ok...it does look like it seems." Kenzi muttered. "But Bo, I swear...," She went on louder.

"Swear do you? Well what happened to the sista code huh, Kenz?" Bo responded.

"Bo!?" Lauren tried to intervene before it became an all-out shouting match.

Dyson pushed himself away from the sink towards Kenzi, "Seriously Bo?" He cocked an eyebrow in Lauren's direction. "After what went down between you and me, what you and Kenz have always had and have now. She has always had your back and so have I and you're going to deny Kenzi and me a little bit of happiness?" His arm dropped around Kenzi's shoulders and pulled her closer.

Kenzi moved easily into Dyson's warmth, taking strength from his proximity. She hadn't expected Bo to be so upset, a little miffed maybe but because she was with Lauren, she would understand.

Bo drew another breath "I knew it...I knew I could taste the sexual chi in here but I didn't think for one minute you'd actually fuck my best friend, that you'd use her like this.."

"Wait a minute.." Kenzi started, as Lauren snapped out "Bo!" in a very a rather shocked voice. Dyson stepped in front of Kenzi, right in front of Bo and with a low growl coming from him. "That is it!" his voice low and threatening "We were ready to talk to you but now I'm telling you to get out before I do something we'll all regret. And next time you see us you'd better be ready to apologise to Milady."

Lauren scurried over to Bo and grabbed her by the elbow "We'd better go! You need to cool down before you say anything else that will ruin this." Kenzi wasn't sure if Lauren was talking about their friendship, Bo and hers or their relationship, Bo and Lauren's, or her and Dyson's beginning. She didn't care, she was still trying to process Bo's reaction.

Bo looked at Lauren, really looked at her for the first time since this started "You don't need to tell me to cool down...did you somehow miss what's going on?"

Lauren carefully looked at Bo before lowering both her eyes and her voice. "I saw...I saw you over reacting and I'm starting to wonder why?" She stepped away from Bo before turning to Kenzi and Dyson. She smiled nervously at them "I'm happy for you...for you both. There will be some interesting times ahead for you but have faith in each other." Her voice became even softer "And Bo will come around, I'm sure of it."

"Will I now?" Bo stormed out of the room, the door to the loft slamming behind for emphasis a scant 10 seconds later. "She'll come 'round, I promise." Lauren assured them as she hurried after Bo, sending up a silent prayer to whoever was listening that she was about that.

Dyson turned to Kenzi, his anger at Bo still radiating off him in waves. Kenzi's shoulders slumped and her eyes were looking at the floor, the sadness almost a visible cloud around her. He gathered her into his chest as if by wrapping his body around her, he could stop the pain of Bo's reaction from continuing to hurt her.

Kenzi breathed in Dyson's earthy, masculine scent. It calmed her in a way she hadn't thought possible, especially after the encounter with Bo and to a lesser extend Lauren. It had shaken her more than she was willing to admit and coming so quickly after the trial it was draining her emotional reserves. But having Dyson as a steadying assurance kept her from spiraling into misery.

Not once had she thought that Bo would react in such an explosive and, well almost, jealous manner. She just didn't understand it, it made no sense as Bo was with Lauren in every sense of the word, she was happy with Lauren, wasn't she?

Kenzi moved closer to Dyson and snaked her arms around his waist and pulling him closer to her. He placed a loving kiss on the top of her head and caught a faint wisp of her unique fragrance, that combination of vanilla, vodka, fresh rain and pomegranate. It had always made him catch his breath and now he knew it so well it seemed to have seeped into his skin.

It made him hold her just a little firmer than before. Another part of his anatomy had firmed a little more again and as much he wanted her again, and again, he'd never really have enough of her, they needed to talk to Trick. He needed to prepare for what was coming, he needed to protect her at all costs even giving his own life if it meant she lived.

"Come on Kenz, we'd better get going" Dyson pulled himself away from her, reluctantly. Kenzi looked at him and frowned a little, as if she wasn't happy about his sudden absence from her arms. "What is it Kenz?"

"What happened to you calling me Milady?" Kenzi smiled but there was something more to it than him not using her pet name, something more worrying to her than that. He cocked his head and eyebrow at her. "Ok...ok! What if Trick and Hale 'nd all react like Bo just did? What if they…they don't like the idea of a human and Fae getting together? What do we do then?"

Dyson laid his hands on her shoulders gently massaging them, knowing the physical contact between them calmed both of them and made things easier. "Milady, somehow I don't think we'll get the same reaction. I don't know why Bo did and frankly, I don't care. You're my priority, you're the one I want happy. No one else, not Bo, Trick, Vex or even the damn Ash matter to me, only you, you Kenz."

Kenzi gave him a small smile "Well, ok then...let's go see the Trickster."
