The Devil's Nest [Thursday Evening]

Eric was opening the club tonight, a move that kind of shocked the DJ when he arrived five minutes late.

After being assured Eric wouldn't eat him this time, the DJ promised to play whatever Eric wanted.

Turned out the DJ didn't have ancient Norse ballads.

The new DJ would be there tomorrow. Tonight you were subjected to the contents of Eric's iPod.

There were plenty of ancient Norse ballads on that.

"That makes two of us, then," Emma said, and resisted the urge to glance toward a particular set of blond curls. "Sometimes I wonder if it would have been happier for him in the long run, with you and Sebastien, although I know this was the safer option."

"He won't die in a war," Irina said, and she let her gaze linger on those curls. "So many young men did, at home. This is the better life."

She paused delicately. "Does he -- seem happy?"

"I think so," Emma offered. "I know it makes him happy that he doesn't have to hide who he is, for the most part. He has friends, and school."

Irina smiled. "I had to ask him directly before he told me he was a Jew, you know," she said. "He hid so much all his life, so this, you -- they are good for him."

"I'm not much good for anyone; everything Jack's accomplished, he's done himself." Emma looked back at Christian again, who seemed determined to flirt with Tiny. "When we were students here, there was a whole gang of us. Did you know that? We were terrible. Me, Jack, Alex, Effy, Rose, Valentine, Karla, Ronan, Tony... it's not like I get credit for anything."

"What don't you get credit for?" Jack asked with a smile as he appeared at Emma's elbow. "I see you already found Irina."

If he'd been listening, his expression didn't show it.

"For you being a terrible, horrible boy, who leaves his guests unattended and lets pretty girls swoop in and steal them," Emma lied without effort.

"You shouldn't have left me alone so long," Irina agreed solemnly. "A woman on her own on a strange island could run into much worse trouble than Emma."

"Not by much, and you forget I know you," Jack answered. "You could take care of yourself just fine even when you were 18."

"Speaking of taking care of people, I'm feeling neglected." Emma winced as Christian draped himself over her shoulder, smirking at their little group. "Hello, Ems has rotten manners. I'm Christian."

"Jack," Jack said, offering his hand. "I'm Emma's ... whatever Emma wants."

Labels were hard things.

"And this is Irina Stephanova Belotserkovskaya, who I became close to in Moscow some time ago."

"Just Irina," Irina supplied. "No one can fit their mouths around the whole thing. It is nice to meet you."

Jack was getting a bit of a side-eye at 'whatever Emma wants.'

What Emma wanted right now was to disappear into the bar and never come out again, dammit.

The reason for which was probably going to become clear in 3, 2, 1...

Christian looked Jack over like a piece of meat, letting out a long whistle. "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, Ems," he said, a wide grin on his face. "Can I borrow him? Does he have a twin brother somewhere?"

Jack burst out laughing. "And now we know where you got your taste in men, Ems," he said, before turning to Christian. "I don't have a twin, and I'm sure you know Emma never shares her toys. Too bad, isn't it?"

"I hate you both." No she didn't. "Iriiiiiiiiiiiiiiina, help a girl out here."

"I would but I think you were teasing me first," Irina pointed out. "I could offer to take care of your brother, but I'm not sure I am his type."

"Not in the slightest," both siblings said at the same time, and Christian just laughed while Emma made a face.

"...I'm doomed for the weekend. Doomed."
