Lief rolled his eye with a weak smile. "I s'ppose we both seem as if we are awkward with communication?" He chuckled quietly, holding up his hands and taking a step back. "I'll leave ya be." Though his appearance was rough, he shared a joking grin and waved slightly before shoving his hands into his pockets. "See ya 'round, I s'ppose?"
If not drunk, his actions would've been different. More violent, rather say. He wouldn't remain as easy-going and friendly as he was now. The thief strolled to the bar once again, taking a seat by himself as he ordered yet another drink. He watched the men with gas masks, slightly amused by their actions.

*one of the men handed out gas masked to the other SS officers and hans and as they put them on one of the soldiers with gas masks and helmets shouted something before throwing a type of gas grenade into a back room and clearing it weapons drawn with the other 4 following behind him while the original 5 including kraus stayed with hans ensuring his safety*

He sighed. "What are you Germans doing?"

Lief would raise his brows, curious of what was going on. He guessed they were searching for Erika, though he also seemed to wonder why so many men were needed. And where had they come from? Had they been outside this whole time?
Lief would keep his thoughts to himself, sipping from yet another mug of alcohol.

*kraus stepped forward* the kommandant has ordered a search for Erika and those guys just gassed the whole back area looking for her...

Ember nodded solemnly to the male as he backed off, half disappointed and half relieved. She wasn't used to talking with people in conversation. She ordered, others followed. Failed to follow often lead to plenty of pain. The woman turned to sit down in her original seat and took a glance at the rectangular item; scoffing at the non-spoken name again then proceeded to toss it aside.

The red-head leaned over the cup of drink and sniffed it- pulling back quick and wincing from its foul smell.

*erika appeared on the bench sitting across from ember* hey... you seem a bit close to hans there.. *she pointed at the man in the Grey uniform who had lost his armband earlier*

Lief would be watching the men, though his attention focused on a familiar face. He placed his toxic beverage onto the table, rising from his spot. Approaching the table where Ember and Erika sat, he took a seat next to Ember. He would smile at Erika as he wrapped an arm around Ember. "No worries, Miss Gretelein." He gave a cheeky grin, winking. "I've got her. Don't stress. Hans is all yours."
Under the table, Lief would kick Ember's foot, praying that she would go along with his act.

Ember felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up, and looked up to the woman who appeared out of nowhere again. For the second time since getting to the Hall, she questioned her decision of coming. "Hans is the man's name.", the grey-eyed woman said aloud, feeling some comfort in knowing the man's spoken name. Hans. "I am not close with Hans-", Ember turned to look at the other man from earlier in surprise. With an odd look sent his way, she slowly nodded and turned back to the woman. "-I...have another close.", she concluded slowly.

Ooooo gossip *erika seemed interested* do tell...

He winced slightly, not expecting to speak with Erika longer than needed. He returned the look to Ember, raising a slight brow. With a smirk creasing his lips, he propped his free arm onto the table. "You're better at speaking-" His eyes glistened with mischief as he tilted his head to face Ember, making it clear he was trying to find ways to make her miserable as they acted. "Why don't you tell her, hm?"

...Oh. Oh.
It took a fair amount of willpower not to hit the male next to her. Whatever his intention was at the beginning, it didn't matter. Ember wasn't the best at reading people, but she could see the gleam in his eyes. He was putting her under the spotlight for amusement. She'll have the same fun as well then.

"...Certainly. Mallacht and I had met some while ago.", Ember partly hissed through her teeth, refusing to make eye contact with him any longer- the less he sees her distress, the better. "He was alone as he often was at the time. Quite a sad tale...but luckily for him- I had been spotted by him a fair distance. Entranced by me. You could see it in his eyes; probably still can.", she offered the faintest of smirks towards the woman across from her.

Heh... I wish my hansy would be like that with me....

Lief forced a smile. "I'm sure he's just-" He struggled to find the word. "-just covering up his love for you. After all, he does have to maintain the 'tough-guy' act, doesn't he? If not, he would hardly be taken seriously, no?" He pulled his pale hair into a loose ponytail, revealing the two, giant emerald horns upon his head. Without realizing it, they had been hidden beneath his ruffled hair.
Continuing to speak, he flashed a grin. "I'm sure he'll realize his undying love for you soon enough. He's just playing hard to get- Oh!" He smirked, practically whispering. "Don't mention I told you this, but-" Lief anxiously looked over his shoulder before facing Erika again. "Hans says he honestly embarrassed to say he loves you. With the 'Tough-guy' act and everything, he's gotta keep his posture, y'know?"

Really?? *erikas eyes went from normal to a lustful and obsessive stare at hans as she heard lief say what he said*

Ember blinked and nodded at the woman in front of her, in attempts to semi-agree with man beside her as he spoke, only half paying attention. Upon pulling at a string in his hair- two pale green horns of some sort sat on top of his head. The red-head tried not to make it obvious that she was looking and kept her eyes forward- sneaking spotted glances from time to time.

Lief nodded, understanding that Hans was going to kill him later. "Of course! Why would I lie to you, Miss Gretelein?" He drummed his fingers against the table. "The only reason he brought the men in here wasn't to find you, Erika. It was to keep other men away from ya." He hid his snicker, struggling to keep a straight face. He would glimpse at Ember as he continued to ramble on. "Don't tell 'em I said any of this, got it? Just lay low and, eventually, Hans will confess his undying love for you."

*Hans turned around and was petrified to see erika sitting down right behind him the entire time and as he pointed to her kraus pulled out his pistol and shot at her as she dodged every shot slowly coming closer to hans*

His eye would widen slightly. He called out to Hans. "Apologies, Bud! Oh-! And good luck with.. that!" He chuckled, guessing that he would help Hans if he absolutely needed to. Focused again, he would turn to Ember and remove his arm from around her. Lief would lower his voice. "I am so sorry about.. the situation. But- I'll admit- it was slightly hilarious watching your temper rise." He smiled, standing up in case she decided to throw fists or draw a weapon.

Ember tried to ignore the unusual appearance of the male next to her. She had no problem with it, but it was odd. Special abilities was one thing, difference in looks can mean another thing. She has some experience with powers in her lifetime- never anything else. Plus it was rude to stare.

At the sound of an extremely loud and deeper resemblance of a popping noise, she jumped out her seat and spun to see what the living hell it was. Once her wide eyes saw the unfamiliar weapons from Hans before- the girl kissed her teeth and took a few steps back from Hans and the other woman were. The white-haired male's voice barely reached her ears as she looked at him quickly then directly back to the weapon.
