"She expects too much," Spot said, shaking his head. "Perfection ain't real. Cept for you, babe. You're pretty damn close to perfect. Ya wanna go somewhere?" So maybe the whiskey was getting to his head. But he should be with a girl like her. She was strong, had good connections, and wasn't crazy. ' 'Wasn't crazy' and 'Not a whore' were on the top of his list now.

She noticed the whiskey getting to him and didn't take his invitation too seriously. She worked at a pub for crying out loud, the broken hearts littered the joint. But she had to laugh, "I ain't perfect, Conlon, I think that whiskey's makin you talk crazy." But she did have a feeling maybe she should try to get him back to the lodging house. No one needed the king of Brooklyn drunk and passed out somewhere.

"Yeah maybe. You are a nice girl though. You should meet Jimmy. He's one of the greatest men I know," He mumbled on, slurring his words a bit and leaning his head against his hand on the table.

She tried not to laugh, she definitely wasn't nice if she was pushed in a place she didn't want to be but she guessed she was alright most of the time. She patted his arm, well maybe she was being nice today. At least, she actually liked Spot why not be nice to him? "Maybe, but any lad that wants to court me has to go through my brothers..." She kind of gave up at some point. "Then my Da.." her nose wrinkled. "Aye... at any rate.. how much more you think you're gonna take?" She'd try to get him home... that was the best thing to do.

"Brothers don't scare Brooklyn boys, Vi. Your brothers should be scared of US." spot retorted, pointing his finger drunkenly.

She had to grin, shaking her head as she reached over and nudged his arm trying to get him to stand. "I'm not afraid a Brooklyn boys or me brothers. To be fair I'm not much afraid of anything. Come on Conlon lets go home.."

"home?" well, he wasn't that drunk, but if she thought he was...
Well just maybe she'll spend the night.
"yeah, okay. One of the guys may be lurking around, if you just wanna send me with one of them. " or he could be polite. He glanced around, thinking Buck or Cor or jimmy or someone was there.

She probably wouldn't, but the look on his face had her grin. Hell-- here was was trying to be nice and he has to go and be-- a gentleman. She'd file it away later, no wonder. "I didn't see the lads, and I don't mind making sure you don't walk into anything in the dark. I'll be your eyes, sleep on the girls side and go home in the mornin'. No harm no foul.." Unless Rae killed her, that was a passing thought she promptly ignored. She wasn't hitting on the King of Brooklyn he was hitting on her. She still liked him even if he did, not saying it was anything romantic. But, she did like knowing she could count on him to watch her back. For more than just one very obvious reason. "Unless of course you want me to go track someone down.." None of the boys seemed to be around. "I'm leavin' either way.. my shifts over."

"Uh huh," Spot replied, standing up with ease. "How about I instead walk you home?"

That made her grin as she moved around the bar and grabbed her coat from the pegs, she was so used to being the one that picked up messes. Was just her nature. "Aye, sure, if ya want too." No matter her big strapping army of brothers she loved, she took care of herself more often than not.

"Ya really shouldn't be walking alone at night anyway," Spot remarked, slipping his own coat on.

"Stop you bloody worryin'," she remarked rolling her eyes, it wasn't in disrespect it was in almost resigned. She knew that Spot would do and say exactly what he intended, didn't mean she didn't have to rebuke the idea. "I don't need a lad walkin me home all the time, Spot. I do well on me own." She knew, deep down that she probably should have someone walk her home. Her brothers ran with Paul Kelly, that meant that she could be a target if a rival gang wanted leverage. She wasn't stupid, but she was prepared.

It was creepy how much she sounded like Raven. Spot only smiled. "I can see that. You ever been jumped?"

"You make it sound like I'm lucky if I haven't and stupid if I have.." she replied as she continued to the door, stepping out into the cold. "Yes, and no I made out fine. He was bleeding and I kept on home." She wasn't too proud to say she'd been spooked but she was too proud to admit she should change how she went home.

Spot chuckled. "And you still do it? Walk around alone at night? Jesus woman you are crazy."
