Vi was tough, it was true she had a habit of just doing what she wanted-- taking out customers if they tried to get grabby. But this time had resulted in more bloodshed then she ever cared to administer to anyone. She'd been grabbed outside the pub, pinned to the wall and if she hadn't reacted there would have been trouble. But her brothers had taught her well-- the knife she carried in her boot had been put to good use, stabbed into the man's thigh where she twisted it with all her might and then when he was stumbling she ran into the back door of the pub and locked the door.
Grumbling she started pumping water into the sink with her free hand and ground her teeth, had to get the blood off... had to work off the temper. She tossed her knife into the bottom of the sink and took a few cleansing breaths. She was shaken up, she couldn't lie-- she was shaking. That had been closer than she liked ever being. Been awhile since she was surprised like that.

Tristan made his way into the pub, alone for once. He wiped at his aching lip. Blood. He'd been hit hard and just managed to turn the fight around. He needed to take the edge off, just one little beer and he'd be fine. Getting to look at Vi didn't hurt either.

There was noise from outside and she wiped her hands off on her apron, the natives must be restless, she mused as she shook her head and headed out to the front room. Maggie was keeping some lads occupied but not really doing much else. Vi spotted Tristan and raised a brow as she made her way over, catching his chin in her hand across the bar. "Land sakes... ya bloody moron, how can ya stand?"

"It was nothing, just got caught off guard." he moved his face away from her grin. He hated when she touched him like that, it sent his mind racing in all sorts of ways about her. "Gimme a whiskey would ya?" He licked his bleeding lip.

She frowned and pulled a cloth out of her apron before shoving it against his lip without his consent or agreement. Rolling her eyes violet moved to get the whiskey and a glass, setting them in front of him. Though her hand was shaking when she poured it she scowled at her own fingers, setting the whiskey bottle down and holding her hands still against the bar. Mind over matter she was still shaken.

Tristan noticed her shaking hand and raised a brow at her, "what happened?"

She looked at him and then back at her hand, "Just a customer got handsy'sall. 'm fine.." No there was still blood on her hand and her apron. When you cut someone they bleed a lot. "I'll be fine.." Just had to stop shaking first.

"bullshit," he said and got up walking over to her. He grabbed her rag off the counter and started to wipe off the blood. "did you know him?"

She shook her head, "Once maybe, but he wasn' a regular... shoved me against the wall out back so I dug my knife into his leg..." No she wouldn't kill anyone, but she wouldn't shriek either. It was strange-- just standing there, before she gave up and dragged him into the back room. "Stop you look worse than me."

"Yeah but I ain't shaking like a leaf neither. I'll kill that son of a bitch," He said, still holding the towel to his lip. "I get beat up for a living ya know. It's different."

"'m not shakin on purpose," she responded glaring at him as she moved away to pace off the tension on her shoulders. "The bloke grabbed me an' I stuck me knife into his leg like me Da taught me ta do. I hope he bleeds out an' falls in the bloody harbor." After a moment she took a breath and glared at him. "Ya take to many knocks to tha head Tris' you could die.." And he was always beat up.

"Comes with the job," He stepped over to her and rested his hands on her shoulders, "Take a deep breath..." he said quietly and slowly started rubbing. "You need to calm yourself."

She grumbled and closed her eyes-- it was strange but the weight of his hands had her heart slowing and the din in her ears quieting. His hands moving on her shoulders had her wrinkling her nose and she looked down at his knuckles, she was breathing-- struck her strange that hands that knocked men flat could be gentle. "what'f the snake goes to the bulls?" On yeah now she thinks about that.

It was true, but at the same time she figured if he was dumb enough to do that he'd be dumb enough to go to the bulls too. Her eyes closed when he rubbed her shoulders, a distraction-- no one ever rubbed her shoulders like that. "Dunno, Tristan. He probably could... " Her eyes opened and she took a step out of his hands, she was getting too comfortable there. "Thanks... sit on a stool an' I'll take a look at yer face."
