Cracking his neck stepping off the bus he had been on for a few hours he grabbed his bags and took in the city. “Ahhhhh a new city a new start. Now if I were Kalvin where would I put a bar?” Dean ask to himself tapping a finger onto his chin. Looking at the buildings around him he picked up his bags and made his way towards the center of town. Only having a name of the bar he keeps a trained eye out for the Zelots Sin. After a few minuets of walking and asking for directions from some people, Dean stands in front of the place he was looking for
Finally making his way through the front door he spreads his arms out dropping his bags with a wide smile he calls out, “Oh Honey I’m home!!” Dean finishes by looking around the bar taking in the decor and patrons, also hoping to notice his old battle buddy.

Kalvin stood behind the counter cleaning glasses while looking out into his domain. The Zealous Sin was his pride and joy. And his regulars where almost family, if he had to call them anything. His little peace of heaven supplying him with everything he could ever he wanted. Tonight it was pretty quiet, but the night was still young. That's when he heard the door open and a famillure voice echo through his home.
Kalvin turned his head fast as recognition flashed through his very being. A wide smile streached across his face at the sight of his old friend. Placing the glass on the counter in front of him, Kalvin walked around the bar and yelled back with a slight southern accent, "My Love! You have returned to me after so many years!"

Dean walked over to his old friend and clasped their hands together and pulled the smaller man into a tight hug. “Ah Kalvin how long has it been?” Dean would ask letting his old friend go, compared to the rest of the patrons Dean was a massive man with sharp teeth that he’d show off every time he smiled. As Dean looked at his old friend her realised what he was wearing, letting out a hearty chuckle he’d take a seat at the bar waiting for Kalvin to either sit next to him or across from him.

Kalvin laughed as he found himself dwarfed by Dean and answer with a "Too long" muffled by his chest. Kalvin followed his friend back to the bar, and moved to stand behind the bar and pull out what was labeled as a 'special red wine'. He poured both of them a fifth in his favorite scotch glasses placing Dean's right in front of him holding up his own glass in a salute.
"So, what has brought you to this secluded city?"

Dean would hold his up as well and then take a sip of the ‘drink’ smiling as he set his glass down. “Well I need to find a place to settle down for awhile and I thought what better place than somewhere I know someone, other than gorilla warfare and his friends.” Dean says then picking up his glass and drinking more. Once he finishes he puts down the glass and makes sure his bags are next to him, “also if you know anyone who needs help with computers that I can work for would be a bonus.” He states looking at his old friend giving him a wide toothy grin.

Once Dean started drinking Kalvin downed his drink before refiling both of there glass. Nodding along as Dean was talking but stopped before poring his own glass. Kalvin gave Dean a look in confusion. While he was happy to see his friend it was still weird to see Dean popping up looking to 'settle down' knowing his nomadic tendencies. "I thought you were happy in that last place? What happened, piss off the Prince?"

Dean would look his friend dead in the eyes, “how’d you know? Does word travel that fast? Wait I thought this town was anarch why would the Camarilla tell you what happened?” Dean would then think and mumble to himself subconsciously picking at his necklace of Coyote his tribe had made him back in the day before he was embraced. He then snapped out of his semi trance when Kalvin started speaking once again. “Could you repeat that sorry didn’t mean to space out on you like that.” Dean would apologise not wanting to be rude to his friend.

Kalvin stared at his friend when Dean stated 'how'd you know?'. He's known Dean since before he was embraced. And while, yes, Dean could be a hot head he had never pissed off a Prince before. At least, not to his knowledge. Thank god Crin was an Anarchic territory. Hell, most of the Kindred here might give him a present.
Kalvin watched as Dean fell into his old mumbling habit. He tried calling his name to get him to pay attention before just giving in and using a little of his discipline to get Dean's attention. Once Dean looked at him and apologized, Kalvin held up a hand to calm him down some.
With a strict voice, probably a bonus he got from teaching younger generation, asked "What did you do?"

Dean takes a few deep breaths to calm himself. Sure he didn’t need to but he wanted to keep up the act. Once he calmed himself down. “Well it was an accident but you know how the crown is. I was hanging out was out looking for a friend of mine I made over there when I got jumped by a guy who thought he could take me. Well normally you can take care of them but apparently the day had changed and it was a day where you weren’t allowed to kill for some reason. So of course his sheriff comes and hunts me down and tells me the prince wanted me gone or dead. So I had to leave,” Dean sighed as he finished another glass of ‘wine’.
After sitting for a bit he chuckled, “I mean it probably could have gone worse considering I was able to leave.” He says letting all he said sink in to his old friend.

"A no kill day?" Kalvin asked with confusion. He had never heard of a 'no kill day'. Cease fire? Yes, but never a no kill day. Not unless there was a huge flood of hunters. Kalvin looked at his friend and gave him a look of disbelief.
"Yeah, no. It sounds like you got fucked for another reason. But I won't pry."

“Anyways about possible jobs?” Dean would go back to asking the other questions wanting to ignore what happened to why he was here now. Waiting for his friend to answer he would sip the last of his drink before turning the glass over showing he was done drinking. “Also you seem a bit different did something good happen while I was away?” He would ask humming softly.

Kalvin nodded at Dean's subject change. He understood the need for secrets. It wasn't like he didn't have a ton of his own. At Dean's question of a job, Kalvin Looked down and thought. The Nosferatue were least likely to welcome help from another clan and Metal Fuck is a lone wolf. Kalvin's eyes narrowed as a though entered his mind: *Wait, Metal Fuck is a lone wolf. And expensive to boot.* A smile crossed his face as he looked up to his friend as he told him, "Oh yeah, I have an idea on someone who could use your skill set. A wild woman named Doris. Kind of the big kahuna around here. I'll introduce you later. She's gonna need to know you're here anyway." Kalvin couldn't help the small chuckle that followed.
"And to answer your last question, You remember the kid I was telling you about?"

Dean would think for a bit thinking of the name he spoke but nodded his head. Then thinking back to the conversations he had with his old friend he did vaguely remember talks of a kid with potential over in Italy. “So are you telling me that you actually got the kid already?” He would ask looking a little shocked that Kalvin went and got the child so soon. “I thought you were gonna wait a little longer before bringing him over the ocean.” Dean states as he’s interested in the story.

Kalvin's eyes narrow and darken as his lips curl showing of his fangs. His anger was apparent and thick as he let out a heavy breath. "I was," he says, "brat is still wet behind the ears when it comes to real life." Kalvin stood up straight rolling his shoulders to try and hide the tension there. "Fucken hunters got to him first and tried to make their own shock troops. Like the poor saps from the Sabbat aint enough."
"Lucky me he's of my own kind. I've already brought him under my wing and started playing 'daddy'," Kalvin stated with air quotes. "Boy's bright but sometimes gets to big for his britches and got to put him back in his place." With a dark chuckle he continued, "though lucky the boy can survive my training and punishments."

Dean chuckles and let’s put a good laugh. “Ya do know Kalvin I was probably just as bad as your boy is. Maybe even possibly worse than he is.” Dean would say not knowing what all the kid has done up to this point. Then realising what his friend started with, “you’re telling me hunters got to your kid before you did? Well it could be worse I guess. I mean at least he’s one of yours and not a prick like the higher class a-holes.” Dean would state quoting what his site called any clan that prospered under camarilla (mainly Ventrue and Toreadores). “So then I guess before you take me to meet the boss man, woman? Tell me a bit about my nephew.” He states a little curious about Kalvins “project”?
