Dean: We're fine. There's a bit of a scuffle in there, though. Joshy and Jimmy, I think. Just gonna try get Gemma home, last thing I need is her to get hurt.
Gemma: Dean! I told you, I'm fine.
Dean: Oh, shut up!

Dean wraps his arms around her again, pulling her into a big bear hug, kissing her forehead.

A drinker at the bar had alerted the police, who soon made their presence felt. They put the group into handcuffs, and attempted to sort through the situation..

Jakey approaches them, having talked the cops out of arresting him. (OOC: *gets cock out*)

Jakey: Oh. I was just stabbed. Kinda hurt.. a little. Good job it was imaginary glass, huh?

Mason grins, moving up to offer a seat. "Yeah J, you did a good job of imagination-weaseling your way out of that one too, I might add", he smirks while sipping an eclectic and unknown choice of beverage.
Blake laughs. "Yeah, bigshot Lewis here didn't feel like stepping into to help anyone first hand, he doesn't get his hands dirty".
"Hey, as if you were thinking about getting involved too", he fires back.

OOC: What a ponce, using full prose.

"I've always been good at.. uhh..", he stutters, trying to think of a word, "..weaseling, works actually". Jakey orders an appletini, and sits on a bar stool next to Lewis.
"So, what're you doing in these parts? I thought it was too dirty for a man of your stature", Jakey remarks, noticing Lewis' fine choice of clothing.
