I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch everything go wrong. - Lemony Snicket

Lieth was not a gentleman like he was pretending to be with Delaney. Xander knew it too.
"Don't even think about it." He warned lightly when he saw Lieth grinning from ear to ear. Delaney didn't have much of a reaction and continued sipping on her drink.
"Why? She's your woman?" Lieth asked jokingly, but loud enough for the people around to hear. Xander saw through it and his mouth twitched. "Not... My woman, but–" before he could finish his words, Lieth cut him off.
"Then Keir's?" His eyebrows were raised teasingly because he knew she couldn't be keir's woman.
"Not Keir's either. Brother, just don't mess with her. Keir would be very angry. Veery." Xander drawled, with a smile still plastered on his face. Lieth's eyes shifted to Delaney one more time, before directing his gaze elsewhere.
