The Empires discussion

Sup.

Lacy stayed in the carriage after it stopped.
"Im not doing this."

((Really? Fancy resturant? XD))

Ace looked out and spotted Quinn and some other guy with him. "Come on, Lacy. One meal."

(it was either that or restaurant #2 XD)

"Fine." She hopped out of the carriage.
"But im only doing this for Erik." She hissed.


Miles looked at his brother.
"Which one is she?" He asked curiously

Quinn glanced up quickly uninterested, "The brunette."

"Then smile." Ace hissed back

Lacy flipped Ace off, non-discreetly.


Miles snickered at Lacy but his attention was on Ace.

Ace stuck her tongue out at Lacy and noticed the boy looking at her and blushed and looked down.

Quinn looked up at the girls, "Glad you could make it." he smiled

"Not like I had a choice." She mumbled then smiled back.
"Me too."

Miles smiled when Ace blushed.
"I'm Miles." He stuck out a hand for Ace, since they both seemed to be wing-men/women

"Ace." she shook his hand, "Lacy's bodyguard."

Quinn nodded knowing she hated this as much as him, "Our table should be ready." he said and headed for the door.

"Great." She stopped smiling when he turned around. She followed him inside.

"I'm Quinns brother." He added and followed the group. He held it open for Ace.

Ace couldn't help but smile at Miles. She guessed only they seemed to be having a good time, judging by Quinn and Lacy's face.

Quinn led the group to a table and pulled out Lacy's chair.

"Thanks." She smiled again and sat down, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

Miles did the same for Ace and pulled out a chair next to Lacy for her. He sat next to her

Quinn sat next to Lacy. "That's my brother, Miles." he said trying to attempt conversation with her.

Ace tried not to focused too much on Miles since she was supposed to be protecting Lacy

"That's my bodyguard, Ace." She looked at him. Maybe he wasn't that bad. She still wasn't marrying him though. No way.

Miles didn't try to hide his interest in Ace.
"So, Ace..." He tried to get her to talk to him

Ace tried not to get caught up in Miles's good looks. "So are you a rich brat like your brother?"

He nodded, "Its okay to say you don't want to be here."

"I prefer the term snob." He lifted his face high in mock pride.

She looked at him and smiled.
"Neither of us want to be here."

"That easy to see huh." he laughed

Ace laughed, "There's a difference?" she teased

"No. You'd just be crazy to want this to happen to you. Forced marriage. Kinda puts a damper on things." She shrugged and smiled sadly.

"Snob is just funner to say. Say it. Snob." He annunciated the word

He nodded, "I'm surprised your not complaining much considering your 'circus boy'."

"No." Ace smiled

She looked down.
"I can't. He'll kill him." She said quietly

"Stubborn. I like it." He smiled back

She smiled at him, "So why are you here, Snob?"

Quinn got quiet. "I'm sorry."

"He killed the last one. So I have to do this." She got a determined look in her eyes

"I don't know. Wanted to inspect my new sister in law." He glanced at Lacy

He nodded, "Archer is ruthless. My father tries to stay in his good graces so that means..." he motioned at her.

Ace arched an eyebrow, "Never would have guessed."

"Yeah I get it. I'm still trying to figure out a solution." She glanced around

"I'm a good spy." He winked.

"Not really." she giggled

"Well let me know when you do." He said

"You'll be first to know." She promised.

"That so?" He crossed his arms

(so do we have a plan for this group? Miles +Ace=<3 Ik. But what happens with L and Q?)

((uh math....umm...L has A, E, and Q))

He nodded and ate some of his food when it arrived.

"Very so." Ace smiled

"Hurtful." He smiled and held a hand over his heart.

Lacy ate some of hers too.
"Hey. Ace? How long do we have to stay?" She whispered

Ace smiled at Miles and looked over at Lacy, "Huh?" she so hadn't been paying attention.

Lacy sighed.
"Never mind.''

Miles took a sip of his drink and watched what looked like a miserable Quinn

Quinn didn't look up even when he felt his brother's heavy gaze on him.

"Quinn." Miles frowned.

Lacy looked at Quinn too when she realized Miles had been staring

"What?" he said a little to sharply.

"Chill." Miles crossed his arms.

Lacy hesitantly spoke too
"Are you...alright?"

He nodded, "Fine."

Ace stood up, "I have to go to the bathroom. Lacy?"

"Huh. Never went with someone but Kay." She stood and followed not wanting to make Quinn mad.


When they were gone Miles scowled at his brother.
"You scared them away!"

"Good. Father wouldn't like you flirting with the help anyway." Quinn said.

"Sorry was getting to tense for me." Ace said

"No kidding." Lacy sighed.

"Lay off Quinn. She's nice. And I like her. Your just mad I'm not the one being forced to marry someone I dont know." Miles glared.

"You would if Father liked you that much." he retorted

"So...Quinn."

"I don't care if he likes me. I don't like him." He shrugged.
"I heard what that girl said. Least you can do is try to make her not as miserable as she is. She has it worse than us. THE Archer is her dad." Miles pointed out, feeling sympathetic

"Its not fun for either of us. How am I supposed to comfort that girl?" Quinn asked

"So...Miles." Lacy countered

"I don't know. Try being nice. Talking. Stop being an ass. Whatever works." He shrugged

"Nope this is about you." Ace said blushing at the mention of Miles.

"THat's alot to ask for." QUinn smirked

"Fine. You just shut up. I'll talk to both of them." He couldn't believe he was related to such a jerk.

"It shouldn't be. i thought we could maybe be friends but he looks like just another stuck up brat." She crossed her arms and glared at her reflection in a mirror
