Logan spots Talon and comes over to take a seat, not sure how to greet him considering their last few months. He sits down and orders something to eat and drink and as the waitress leaves he looks to Talon and forces a smile.
(Logan): So... How was North Carolina?
Talon looks at Logan, let's out a deep sigh at the question and pauses...
Talon, "Thanks for coming... I know you don't' trust me, and I don't expect you to... Its just..."
Talon pauses look at Logan with a genuine stare.
Talon, "I can't do this anymore. I want to move on, and be sure you'll be there for Ally if something happens to me."
Logan seems a little taken aback by this.
(Logan): Aye, well yeah of course I will. But I might no' trust you right now but Ally does.
He lets out a sigh of his own.
(Logan): Look. You've made amends with her and she forgives ye. The only problem I had wi you was that ye had harmed her, shit just took of from there. If Ally can forgive and forget, for her sake, I'm sure I can too.
Talon looks at him and half way smiles, and for the first time in a long time it isn't with an underlying self serving purpose.
Talon, "I don't expect us to be friends over night or anything... But just know, that in my book, we're on a new page..."
Logan nods openly, ignoring the waitress as she puts his drink on the table.
(Logan): Good tae hear. If we can both make Ally and the babies health as our priorities we should get along just fine.
He takes a sip from his drink
(Logan): Because ye know Senester is gonnae try something.
Talon nods knowingly.
Talon, "that's what I'm afraid of... Not even my safety, but her and the baby... He's already got parker's kids... He's got something in mind."
(Logan): Will she be safe with yer parents? I don't know how co-operative she'll be, but maybe she should stay there for a bit?
Talon shrugs as he replies.
Talon, "I would rather her go somewhere else, I talked to Detective Cox and he said he could line something up to keep her away and safe this week, but she has to agree..."
Talon takes a bite of his pizza and continues.
Talon, "that's where I was hoping you could come in..."
Logan frowns a little but is willing to hear him out.
(Logan): Aye? What do ye need me to do?
Talon, "I just think she'll listen to you. You're not the crazed obsessed over protective brother... Just try to get her to meet with Cox and stay away until we get back from DC... That's it.”
Logan smiles nervously.
(Logan): I'll try convince her, but I can't see her agreeing. She's too much like you sometimes.
Talon let's out an uneasy laugh as he nods.
Talon, "I know... Damn it. Well, at least try, remind her its not just her, its the baby."
(Logan): You've got it Talon, I'd rather she was safe too...
He cracks a smile.
(Logan): ... But her hormones scare the shit out of me.
Talon smirks for a moment before letting out a full blown smile.
Talon, "Better you than me dude... So when do you find out if its a boy or girl?"
Logan smiles, welcoming the change of subject.
(Logan): Not 'til it's born. "We've" decided we don't want tae know.
He takes a drink.
Talon looks up, slowly relaxing.
Talon, "oh lord... So what do you hope for? Future hearts captain? Or are you wanting to have a girl and stress yourself to death? Ha-ha"
Logan laughs along quickly shaking his head.
(Logan): I try not tae think about it too much, I just get doubts whether am ready to step up, if I'm mature enough for it all.... But aye, I'd quite like a wee boy.
Talon's expression completely changes as he hears Logan speak... He looks at him and smiles easily.
Talon, "Honestly man, I think you'd be a great dad... You got you're life together pretty well, and that parental instinct is supposed to kick in when the baby comes... You still got what, 5 months to get ready...? You'll be fine... Think of any names?"
Logan shrugs but smiles taking the compliment from Talon.
(Logan): I really haven't tae be honest. I've been kept that busy by H-W-A....
He pauses and thinks for a moment before shrugging once more.
(Logan): If it's a boy I quite like Andrew. My Grandfather was called Andrew and he was a great man... died young, I guess just thinking about it now, that'd be nice....But I don't know, I'm sure our highness will have a few favourites that I'll probably hate.
Talon erupts with laughter, knowing his sister all too well...
Talon, "very true... She always liked Liam as a kid... Fitting she'd fall for a Scotty like you..."
Talon smiles as he finishes his drink and looks at his phone...
(Logan): Could be worse she could be wanting some cheesy gay boy band name or somthing... Like Corey or some pish like that.
He takes a drink and pulls a face.
(Logan): Or surnames for a first name... Like McCauley or Crawford... or Parker.
Another laugh comes from across the table as Talon leans back and interjects...
Talon, "or Justin... Or even worse, something god awful like Senester or Angelus... "
Logan almost chokes on his drink laughing.
(Logan): Ha-ha! Aye, thank f*ck for that.... Ach she's a good girl, it'll end up being a girl anyway and she'll have her name already picked out.
Talon grins as he nods, raising his cup in the process...
Talon, "for your sake, I hope its a boy... You think I'm bad, I'm just a brother, imagine if you have some cheeky bastard chasing your daughter around... Ha-ha, you'll be asking me for advice."
Talon again looks at his phone and sees the time.
Talon, "gotta go soon man, I've got to meet a girl for an interview for sports illustrated... Oh, congrats on the title match, its your first isn't it?"
(Logan): That's fine mate, I got shite tae do, mainly training.
He smiles again and nods.
(Logan): Yup, against yer man Ronnie. Gonnae give it my all and hopefully it's not my last.
Talon stands up, leaving some cash on the table...
Talon, "train hard... He's in the zone... Thanks again for meeting me man... Take care of my sister.“
Talon extends his hand to Logan and Logan shakes it.
(Logan): It's not a problem, I'm glad I did... You have my word I'll do all I can tae make sure she's safe. And I'll talk with her once she's home.
Talon nods in appreciation and leaves just as Logans food finally arrives, he orders another drink and settles down to his meal as the scene fades to black.
