New Years at the Reinhardt's part 2

Fiona Reinhardt beams "Addy!"

Addison OBrian marches over and plops herself on the stump. "Artificial stumps!! You ROCK!" she looks around. "Where's Vincent? I thought he'd be here from beginning to end."

 Fiona Reinhardt smiles "He'll be here. I'm not stressing. As long as he's here at midnight..." She blushes "Where's Kit? I mean I know he's a pal....but midnight...."

Addison OBrian giggles. "Oh he'll be here for that ... you'll get the longest kiss on the island." she predicts. Then she shrugs. "He went back to Florida for the holidays .." she tells her bestie. "And believe me, I am going to tease the HELL out of him for not being able to stand the cold." she laughs.

Fiona Reinhardt giggles "American boys....warm weather ones even. They should have a longest new year's kiss contest..." she jokes and then casually puts on lip balm and clears her throat. "So you missed some Theta kids. Ase, Bat and Lokii...well for a minute Lokii...I think he went in search of wilder parties perhaps. And Kurt from Germany is coming later.....Logan's bringing him. My parents have Tony...so you and I are free but Oh my god you should have seen him with the Thetas, all charm, right off the Quentin block...soooo cute!"

Addison OBrian grins. "Cause I don't have anyone I wanna kiss." she teases. "I am perfectly happy with my toys." she sticks out her tongue and grins. "I think I remember him ... and probably." she laughs about Tony. "Quentin is gonna have his hands full. I mean I know its different with boys but .... he's such a charmer .. well BOTH of them are." she giggles. "So .... is .. um ... Vincent going to be OK with your ex here ...." she is half teasing .. maybe not even that.

Fiona Reinhardt rolls her eyes "He's not really an EX...it was one kiss and then a dismissal. And Vincent knows...so it's cool...or should be. I think he's over his jealously phase. I haven't said it yet...but I'm sure he's figured out that I love him beyond reason."

Addison OBrian grins. "He should be .. but Kurt IS cute." ad the grin becomes a smirk. "He better, of I'll just have to beat some sense into him. Anyone who see you two together knows you two belong together. Besides you aren't killing his harpies so ....."

Fiona Reinhardt sighs "No, I only experiment on the harpies....they're so pliable...." She shifts her sit as she feels her phone vibrate in her pocket and then reads a text and snorts "Vincent's mom...well Darcy...pretty much his mom...is making him eat dinner. Hmmm....Miss Sharp is there...cool. I guess she and Darcy are friends from work."

Addison OBrian snorts. "As long as they know the deal." she listens to her and squees, clapping and bouncing. "He's calling her 'mom' now? Oh that's FANTASTIC .... he must be so happy then." she nods. "They're both cops. It's easy to forget cause she never wears her uniform to school."

Owen Reinhardt wanders out from the house after putting his winter stuff on and sees Addy and Fiona at the fire "It's a redhead party back here...we better get some other colours in here before someone calls the Irish Mafia." He drops himself into a chair by the fire.

Fiona Reinhardt nods at Addy and then smiles at Owen "the Irish mafia? I'm already dating the Italian mafia so there might be a turf war...Did you have a good nap? i could hear you snoring from the garage pig man."

Addison OBrian snorts. "That could be interesting. Italian and Irish mafia war..." she seems to consider it. "My dad will sell alcohol to both sides and claim he's neutral." she looks at Owe and nods. "Seriously dude .... you should do something about that snoring." she giggles.

Elena Horatio walks looking around a bit unsure and spots the group. He walks up just as Addy says something about Owen snoring, blinking a bit .. but makes a beeline to stand next to Owen a bit wary, scrunching his nose slight at Addy comment . He says softly "hello " and waves to the circle.

Owen Reinhardt narrows his eyes at Addy and his sister "I have allergies and congestion....it's not THAT loud." He blushes sees L walk up on the tail end of that and hopes the snoring part wasn't heard. He stands up and moves to hug L, unsure whether offering affection in front of friends and family will be cool or not yet "Hey...." He looks like a strange plush puppet with his floppy hat and his arms out, just hanging in the suspension of the offer of a hug.

 Fiona giggles a bit "Hey L. Glad you could make it. We have marshmallows to roast." She figures at this point Addy will just help herself to anything in and around the Reinhardt home.


Addison OBrian twiddles her fingers at L "Hey L!" she does indeed starts taking marshmallows to roast.

Elena Horatio blushes a bit and shyly Owen and hugs him quickly his eyes darting around patting his back a couple times .. pretending his didn't hear the last bit judging the embarrassed look on Owens face. he smiles at Owen. then look over to Addy waving brief and starts to scoot back out of the hug .

Seamus Reinhardt comes trudging out of the trees and into the firelight, plunking himself down and looking around. He waves at Addy but looks at L. "You're the Face Time one, right? Owen's date." the tone isn't EXACTLY teasing .. more matter of fact. He looks at L closely, trying to figure out .. what the ... fuck ..... Then he looks at his older brother with a 'something you wanna tell me bro' look, thinking his brother may well be gay. Which is cool but .. a little warning for fucks sake. Especially after that hug.

Owen Reinhardt steps back from the hug and looks a bit sheepish. He doesn't want to push L and he's sensing male mode today. When they kissed it was female. Would L still want to kiss him at midnight? He tries not to obsess over it. He turns in time to see Addy grab a marshmallow and Seamus give him that look. He smiles awkwardly at his brother and shrugs "Oh yeah...L...this is Seamus. Yes L is the face time person." He sits back down.

Fiona watches the awkward hug and then looks between her brothers, pursing her lips. This was already an interesting night. Smiling at L she says "That was funny. L got left on a desk in the middle of a conversation." she tells Addy "And then my Dad thought I was going to start drinking rum.....and Grandad told us everything you could want to know about the migratory patterns of black bears. Christmas Eve at the Murphy house."

Addison OBrian looks up from her flaming marshmallows at Seamus. Then she looks at Fiona. "Well ... with your family ... who WOULDN'T drink rum?" she teases. Then she laughs. "Did he tell the black bear story AGAIN ... like it was the first time EVER?" she had heard the story a few times.

Elena Horatio: He looks up a bit embarrassed not at the hug just at amount of people around during the hug 'well , technically I'm ze Skype person.. since I have an Android.. I prefer.. zem .. 'he states.'more personalization I zink ' he say softly his voice in a deeper octave then when he is in female mode rattle off a bit blushing as he rants on awhile about phone before as he realize people are probably going to get bored a bit . he had a way of rattling off like most Horatio men.. did "but Oui.. zat was Moi.. ' he says with reddened cheeks.

Seamus Reinhardt nods, very slowly. "Well .... that's ..... interesting....." he waves at L. "Nice to meet you ... well.. face to face. You probably didn't see me." he motions to Fiona and Addy. "Yea ... the bear story." he is still looking at L, because on Face Time L was a girl and ... "Do you ... um ... have a ... twin?" he offers carefully. His siblings never told him nothin! "Or ... cross-dress ... or .... what am I missing here, dude?" he addresses L, as he knows he is missing SOMETHING.

Owen Reinhardt had been laughing along about the bear story and then smiled at L. when his brother asks the cross dressing question he freezes and just glares at him trying to find the words to politely explain without telling him right off. He can't so he just sits there, his hands forming into fists unconsciously and he seethes.

Fiona Reinhardt had nodded about the bear story and laughed and then shrugged about the android thing. She had always been an iPhone gal but it was just what she was exposed to so it wasn't a big emotional attachment. As Seamus asked his question she sort of did a one eyed cringe and then slowly looked at Owen, sitting there furious. Yep, that was about right. Carefully she cleared her throat and directed an apology to L "You know, we probably should have chatted..." She looks at her youngest brother "For awareness before you met." She just says it now to Seamus "L is bi gender so sometimes identifies and male, and other times female." She frowns at Owen slightly, a little surprised he hadn't explained all this to Seamus by now. Seamus had been going out a lot lately but they did still share a room.

Addison OBrian watches the conversation and Shay's question and Owen's reaction. Apparently no one shared with Seamus ... again. She almost feels sorry for the youngest Reinhardt.

Elena Horatio just shrug at Fi apology . 'its a lot to take in .. but No.. I don't have a twin and no I don't cross dress.. I'm a male sometimes in thinking and sometimes female.. ' He say softly sense Seamus curious but not mocking tone .. so used to this by now.. 'sometimes i cant make how you say 'eads or tails of it so.. I bet its even more difficult for anyone else to figure it out . He say patting Owen back reassuringly.

 Seamus Reinhardt watches his brother tense up. he looks pointedly at Fi. "Thank you, FIONA!" and he looks again t Owen, his roommate for the last thirteen years. "NO one told ME!" he looks at L and actually softens a bit. "I get it, I didn't know. Sorry man ..." he can tell male mode from female with ease after the Christmas hair style. "I'm the BABY in the family, so I guess my big brother was trying to protect me." but he then turns back to Owen, clearly addressing him with a decidedly waspish tone. "This way you don't have to make up your fucking mind, eh O?" he lifts a hand in apology ... but not to Owen, to L. "Sorry .. fraternal spats happen a lot with me and him."

Owen Reinhardt calms a little with L's patting of his back and Fi's words and then Seamus opens his mouth again. No one can hit your buttons like your family "What is there to make up my mind about? I like a person. L is a person...I'm not hung up on gender crap or putting things in little boxes like a lego set. And no I didn't tell you....you're out all the time or sitting in your bed texting your hockey friends...I wasn't trying to protect you, you little shit. You didn't give me a fuckin minute to say it."

Fiona Reinhardt grimaces "Boys....it's New Years, come on....just let it go OK? Let's be welcoming to L and stop being total assholes to each other. Seriously!" she looks between L and Addy apologetically and sighs.

Addison OBrian blinks when Shay and Owen begin to get in it. Ahhh the youngest two Reinhardt brothers .. born to close together and can't live too far apart fom each other. She looks at L. "Welcome to the Owen/Seamus hour." she jokes, hoping L in male mode can handle these two. They were brothers and they'd probably be like this forever.

Elena Horatio look back and forward between brothers .. and pats Owen as he sit down on the stump a bit touched by Owen's words but shakes his head 'I understand Seamus's anger.. Owen... no one like to be in ze dark.. but oui he was busy... but Oui.. lets us just .. 'he say softly trailing off 'enjoy the evening.. dudes.. 'he say chuckling .. turning to Seamus smiling then look back at Owen reassuringly not taking a side but see both sides.

Seamus Reinhardt stiffens and straightens up a little bit. The LEGO comment makes him narrow his eyes. Well .. it all does. He looks at the others .. his brothers whatever he was, his sister and Addy. "How long is a 'fuckin minute' THIS time?" he wonders. He points at Owen. "Yea. Take your .. friends .. advice, fucktard." he looks at L. He really DOES get it, is the thing. "It's all good, L. Just Owen has never had a boyfriend OR girlfriend before, never mind both at the same time." the words are actually meant to bridge the gap but .... the way it is he figures Owen will just get more pissed. He stands. "Maybe I should go hang with my hockey friends."

Owen Reinhardt stands too and sometimes when he stands in a verbal argument the next step is a fist flying. He's really trying not to in front of L. Fiona's seen it, been in it even. Addy's definitely seen it to. Owen rarely throws a first punch but he also has this unable to back down problem hard wired into him "If you'd rather be with THEM....I dunno man...whatever..." He's shifting his weight back and forth on his feet like he's trying to stay centered.

Fiona Reinhardt jumps up seeing them posturing "If either of you DARE I will kick both your asses into next year!" She's ready to step between them. "Come on Shay, stay....it's a misunderstanding."

Addison OBrian winces when Shay insults his brother even as he tries to make nice with L. Then Owen stands too and she sighs, subtly backing away. So much testosterone in those two.

Elena Horatio try to use humor 'I'm a two in one special I was told once 'he laughs softly trying soft it 'or a variety pack that you get to choose which one i zink 'he say pondering a bit rubbing his chin . He looks up at Seamus a bit saddened to see him go but exhales nodding a bit as he probably thought Seamus wanted a way out.. ... he looks up at Owen curiously and flashes a smile at Owen.. 'his smile' before looks back up at Seamus 'just chill out dudes .. be cool as snow .. 'he says.

Seamus Reinhardt sees Owen stand and takes a step towards him before Fiona threatens them BOTH and L speaks. He looks at L. "I bet you are." he agrees. he closes his eyes and sighs deeply. The GOOD thing was .. he could be seen as the rational one by backing down first. Yea. That would really irk Owen. He sits again. "I can stay for a while." he announces. But he looks at Owen clearly letting him know he is the one backing down so he doesn't have to beat his older brothers ass in front of his boy friend. Owen should be able to read it as clearly as if Seamus has shouted he words aloud.

Owen Reinhardt hears Fiona and the last thing he wants is a whole family fist fight. She'd likely still kick his ass, and then Vincent would come do it again, whatever Shay couldn't kick before Fi got in there or in between. L flashes the smile at him that usually makes him feel fluttery in his gut and it doesn't quite do that this time but it makes him very shamed for behaving this way beside L, what a horrible impression he's making, and to top it off Shay backs down first, slamming the nail in the coffin. That smug little sonofabitch. He was totally doing it to put on a show. As much as he felt like egging him on again, he sits, not looking at anyone but taking L's hand and giving it a little squeeze, a silent apology for being such a buffoon.

Fiona Reinhardt visibly exhales and then starts laughing "So before anyone else gets mad at me, our friend Kurt who's coming is very affectionate, to everyone. He'll probably hug you all and try to tell you very long stories. The good news is...he doesn't speak much English...German and French...oh..." She looks at L and then to Addy with a laugh "Ooops you might get an earful L..."

Addison OBrian sighs in relief when Seamus sits down. She looks at Owe hoping for a truce. It might not last longer than it took for L to not be there when they out and out fought, but ... it was a start. She puts three more marshmallows on her stick. "Next time L ... popcorn. I promise." and there would be a next time ... there always was with these two. She laughs. "Kurt hugs!"

Elena Horatio just waves his free hand .. little no worries man sorta way . He looks up at Addy.. 'oh..'he say softly his eyebrow Fi then Addy slight amused a bit concerned but sighs softly knowingly. He just squeezes Owen hand back gently . ..

Seamus Reinhardt looks t Fiona. "Kurt? Seriously?" he actually knew Kurt was coming. He heard it at their family Christmas meeting. "Yea .. i that case ....." he claps his knees and stands again. "I can only take so much hugging and kissing by someone NOT related to me by blood or marriage." he turns to L. "Great meeting you and welcome to the family and .. my condolences on this lump." he motions to Owen. "See ya!" Kurt coming means Owen will stay away till he HAS to come back to avoid Kurt.

Owen Reinhardt looks curious what Shay means for a second and then sneers at his condolence bit and shakes his head. He look at Addy and then L "Yes, Kurt hugs. You get used to it." He laughs, relaxing slightly without the tension of the issue between and he Shay.

Fiona Reinhardt watches Seamus go and sighs tiredly and then look at Owen "You know you need to debrief with him right? Don't let that fester O....Listen to L...L is Switzerland!" She smiles at L and then Addy at her own joke.

Addison OBrian laughs at he Switzerland comment bu also nods cause Fi has a point. No one tells Seamus jack shit.

Elena Horatio smirks a bit at Shay comment but he looks looks at Owen chuckling awkwardly at the .. over-affection .. L wasn't big into affection with strangers .. 'does he have Kurt handshake?' he tries to joke.

Kurt Zimmerman breezes in like he;s been marching with a band and shouts out "Fiona!!! Owen!! New friends!! Happy New Year!!!" He practically runs to Fiona as she stands politely to hug him and lifts her right off her feet, swinging her around. In German he says "You beautiful fabulous creature!" He lets go of Fiona and reaches to hug Owen, hesitating or a moment to make sure it's OK as he doesn't know him as well as Fiona and Logan.

Logan Reinhardt walks breezily behind Kurt watching him like he is an amusing one man parade. He sits on the ground and leans against the faux log waving to Addy and then looking at L, curiously.

Owen Reinhardt lets go of L's hand and gestures to the hesitation, as if to say you don't ever have to but then hugs Kurt "Hey there, Happy New year man." He slaps him on the back in a very bro hug.  He lets go and Kurt moves on to each person in turn saying "Happy New Year. I'm Kurt!"

Fiona Reinhardt found herself lifted off the ground and laughed and then blushed at the compliment and looks a little awkwardly at Logan "Gee thanks. Good to see you too."

Addison OBrian smiles and hops up, ready for her turn. She hugs him as if he was just another Reinhardt, but understands completely why Shay bolted. This guy was intense. An evil side of her is half glad, half sad Kit couldn't be here. Between his energy and Kurt's the island would explode!

Elena Horatio looks a bit skidish at Kurt and just waves and say a soft "'ello 'appy new year' he say softly blushing a bit but chuckles in amusement to Kurt.

Kurt Zimmerman respects L's comfort zone and waves enthusiastically back and then drops down beside Logan whispering something in German which basically translates to "Do you think that went ok?" with a quick eye dart at Fiona. He's been nervous about this meeting even though all he exudes is confidence.

Logan Reinhardt watches, amused. "Ja, ja zier gut." he murmurs softly. He noticed Fiona s look and gives her a smile. A sort of secret language between the two oldest siblings. "You're L, right?" he begins not realizing that Shay started being Shay with those very words. "I'm Logan. The oldest." he waves from his place, not getting up. He's tired and he's no Kurt, hugging people all willy nilly.

Owen Reinhardt looks between L and his older brother "Sorry.....but this one's not a dick if i forget to tell him something." He explains. He looks sheepishly at both Addy and Fiona, knowing how he said that was a bit out of line. He's very slowly letting it go.

 Fiona Reinhardt rolls her eyes at Owen and focuses in on Kurt and Logan "We have marshmallows...and cocoa by the door. Little Tony was serving people earlier and trying to be Mr. Charm like his Dad. It was hilarious."

Addison OBrian sighs in happiness after that incredible hug. It makes her miss Kit a little less. She looks at Logan and laughs. "Good to meet you, Kurt." she looks t Owen, but doesn't judge.

Elena Horatio smiles at Kurt looking at him in a thank manner and turns to Logan 'oui.. im L.. she say softly an jokes at Owen 'how many are zere .. is zis it or do you have more siblings 'he say a bit overwhelmed not used to a big family being an only child of traveling parents... he smiles at Kurt as Kurt reminds him of his dad . so boisterous . he turns back to Owen smiling and reaches for his hand.

Kurt Zimmerman smiles warmly at Addy. He loved to hug people and loved when they loved it too, just because that was like his family. He beamed at L next when she speaks French "Parlez vous Francais Elle? ((Do you speak French?)) He keeps going a bit in French "We'll have to talk more so I can practice mine. Shortly..." He smiles and then switches back to English "Fiona, can I .....talk to you a minute?" He gestures to somewhere off to the side, indicating he means in private.

Logan Reinhardt arches a brow in Owen's direction and then looks at Fi. "Soooooo I'm guessing you met Seamus, then?" he guesses. "Only one person does THAT." he points to Owen. "To Owen and that's Seamus." he snorts lightly. "Owen has our fathers old communication skills." he lifts his hand. "And you have now met all of us." he assures her. "Congratulations, you have survived the first challenge. You may now move on to Level Two." he looks at Fiona with the slightest of nods that it's OK.

Owen Reinhardt has enough basic French to understand the first half of what Kurt said to L and then looks clued out by the rest. He grumbles a bit at Logan but in better humour and then turns to L "Yep that's all...cept the grandparents and crazy uncles.....I guess that's level 2? Brace yourself." He jokes.

Fiona Reinhardt gulps a little and then nods at Kurt and then Logan "Ok then..." She steps off to the side looking unsure of all this but not totally freaked out.

Addison OBrian smiles at all of the French and German and hugging, feeling very warm as she begins to sit. Then a voice calls out from below. "Hey Addy!! Come on!! ICE BASEBALL! We need a catcher!" she hops up. "They're playing my song!" she calls and waves. "You guys have a happy new year if I don't get back in time! Good to meet you Kurt!" and she is off bouncing down the hill to play some ice baseball.

Elena Horatio chuckles a bit at Kurt's eagerness. 'Oui, je parle français, je suis Français" (yes, i speak french, im french) she looks at Kurt blushing a bit feeling a bit fluster but smiles " Umm je pense que ça va bien .(i guess thats ok) ' she say looking to Owen for reassurance just chuckling awkward shouting to louder then necessary as he is maybe not out of range "ll est juste L par la manière, juste la lettre L " ((it's just L by the way , just the letter ) he continues to ramble and quick french that unless you were a native french speaker.. you might not pick up trailing off in his rants.

Kurt Zimmerman grinned at L as he passes and says "Vrai!" ((Right!)) and then steps up to Fiona on the deck standing close and speaking softly to her in German as if he's confessing something and atoning. He puts a hand on her arm and closes his eyes at one point and then looks deep into her eyes.

Logan Reinhardt watches Fiona and Kurt excuse themselves to the back porch. He doubts he will be able to hear them but he isn't worried. Even though he expects Kurt will tell Fiona something she may already suspect.

Owen Reinhardt grins at L, not understanding much of that but enjoying the sound of L's voice, male or female. He gives Logan a quizzical look after Kurt and Fiona walk off together and then tries not to look back and stare at them. He can't help himself though and does do it once or twice.

 Fiona Reinhardt puts her hand on top of Kurt's and speaks in German back, sounding like she's comforting him about whatever it is. She shakes her head at him when he looks deep in her eyes and then hugs him, saying something else softly.

Vincent DiAntoni comes around the far corner of the house, heading for the back, hoping to sneak up behind Fiona and give her a pre New Years hug. Maybe a pre New Years kiss, too. Practice makes perfect. He sees her red hair and takes a step closer, but then sees a man with her and he stops walking. Not hiding but not making himself known either. He sees the touch and hears words he knows are German and, worse, knows are tender. His jaw tightens .. that old devil rising to the fore that he tries to fight .. remembering .. or tying to ... Rule # 1.

Elena Horatio looks at Owen still rattles on a bit his family in French slowing down as he looks at him and ends in English 'he is like grandpere.. ze bear ' he laughs softly .

Kurt Zimmerman smiles broadly at Fiona's words and hug, and lifts her up a bit off the ground. When he sets her back down he notices the other young man looking at them and smiles at him "Happy New Year New Friend!"

Logan Reinhardt chuckles a bit. "Kurt is a force of nature." he sees Kurt give Fiona another hug and then look off past the house. He frowns very slightly. Now who was visiting?

Owen Reinhardt chuckles at L now "You Grandpa likes bears too eh?" He follows Logan's gaze and hears Kurt greet someone "Hello! By the fire!!" He can't see who it is either but hypothesizes "Prolly Vincent..." and then looks again at Kurt hugging Fiona and his mouth forms an O.

Fiona Reinhardt gently pushes Kurt back and turns, beaming at Vincent "Hey! There you are! Come meet Kurt, Minstrel!"

Vincent DiAntoni sees the German speaking man hug Fiona so snugly that he lifts her off of the ground. What the ... part of him remembers being told Kurt some damn guy was coming, but he hadn't expected THIS. His brown eyes narrow and he actually takes a step back the way he's come. "Hello, Kurt. Goodbye, Fiona." he's hurt ... it was just .. too hard for him to remember Rule #1. Having been waiting for the other shoe to drop, since things were going so well ... he expected this was it .. the other shoe .. right on his damn foot. Ouch.

Kurt Zimmerman sees the look on the other man's face and slumps in an exhale. He's not totally clued in but whatever this is, he's a stranger to this guy. He mutters "I'm sorry...." and backs up, unsure what else to say. He moves back to the fire pit and sits with Logan and then makes a horrible face "I don't think Fiona's friend wants a hug...."

Logan Reinhardt can't hear but now both Kurt and Fiona are looking at who Owen suspects is Vincent. Fiona has warned him that Vincent had gotten jealous in the past and if Vincent had just been witness to a Kurt Hug .... yea .. those could very easily be misinterpreted. Heedless of his little brother and his friend, Kurt takes his hand and speaks in German. "It's alright .. that's ... Fiona's boyfriend." he sighs deeply and looks towards the patio, hoping Vincent will hear his sister out.

Owen Reinhardt had started to laugh about the bear man and then hears Kurt and his suspicions of it being Vincent are confirmed. He makes a pained noise and looks to the side, dropping his gaze right on Logan taking Kurt's hand. He blinks and then his eyes raise to try and meet Logan's with a small smile and a potential question just hanging unspoken in the air. Maybe Logan was just being demonstrative like Kurt.....because Kurt would relate to that.

Fiona Reinhardt: Fiona's smile drops and she looks both crushed and panicked "Vincent no....what are you doing? It's just Kurt...He's just LIKE that with EVERYONE. Remember rule number one.." She pleads. She's never seen him look quite this hurt before, at least not from anything to do with her.

Vincent DiAntoni does stop and takes a step forward. He tries to remember Rule Number One ... But that guy hugged her ... hell .. face it ... better than HE hugged her he thinks. "Seriously?" he snaps, perhaps a little louder than he should. "You SURE it's OVER Fiona?" he isn't sure why he can't calm down, but he can't.

Elena Horatio raises an eyebrow an he follows Owen gaze to Kurt and Logan and mutter so low only someone right next to him .. "tu penses (you think) " his eyebrow raises turning slight to storm brewing with Fi and Vincent.

Kurt Zimmerman squeezes Logan's hand and then swears in German when he hears the argument going on. Afterwards he says in English "I put one fire out and started ANOTHER!!" and then looks truly saddened.

Logan Reinhardt is looking at Kurt to make sure he isn't too upset, not seeing Owen's gaze. He doesn't hear Fiona, but he DOES hear Vincent. "Shit." he speaks in perfect English. He looks t Kurt. "Nein .. nein ...." he tries to sound confident .. but fails.

Owen Reinhardt looks away from his brother and Kurt and at L, nodding "This is not good.....in any language....oh man oh man....I like that guy. We're pals.." His voice is quiet enough for those around him but not to carry to the deck.

Fiona Reinhardt: Fiona looks hurt now and a little incredulous "HOW can you even ask me that Vincent? After EVERYTHING between us.....just...just." Now her temper just flares in one very loud word "WHY?!"

Vincent DiAntoni looks t her and he opens his mouth to tell her .. because the hug was so hot and European. But what comes out is "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, OKAY!" he blinks, his jaw a bit slack. He'd been meaning to say it, but .. not QUITE like this. He lowers his voice. "Because I love you, Fiona."

Fiona Reinhardt looks like she's been winded at first and then inhales and vaults over the railing bursting into tears "Then stop questioning rule number one...because I'm going to fucking change it." She hesitates and then grabs him and kisses him hard and then as she pulls away says "I love you too...more than anything in the world...and you're the only man I love. Vincent...." she hugs him now and kind of collapses on him.

Elena Horatio goes to grab Owen's hand looks at the shouting couple 'umm hello 'he say awkward like being awkward for them.

 Kurt Zimmerman puts a hand over his heart and gets all weepy like he's at a wedding "Oh...it's so beautiful....he loves her....so beautiful..." He's like an old woman you want to offer a hanky to.

Logan Reinhardt: hears the exchange between his sister and Vincent and finds himself sighing in relief. He looks up, finally and sees his parents looking through the window. His mother smiling ear to ear. Parents. Always invading their kids privacy. He clears his throat and looks at L. "Shush." he warns and then looks at Kurt and just starts to chuckle.

Owen Reinhardt chuckles at L and the awkward and nods and then looks as relieved as Logan when it seems they're working it out. When Kurt gets all weepy he can't help but start to laugh a little.

Fiona Reinhardt is still crying a bit, but it's mostly happy tears now. She steps back and looks at Vincent "Will you come to my party now Minstrel?" It's in jest and serious. She kisses him again.

Vincent DiAntoni smiles. Beams. He returns the kiss, the only thing keeping them from falling to the ground is the house. "Got it. Rule number one .. she loves me." he hugs her tight and finds himself lifting her off the ground and spinning her a little. "SHE LOVES ME!" he yells, completely forgetting where he is and whose around. He moves in to kiss her again and then. "Well ... yea ..." he clears his throat and sniffs. "Since I'm here and ... everything." he takes her by the hand and leads her back to the fire, pausing by Kurt. "Hi Kurt. I'm Vincent." he opens his arms for a hug, not realizing how it may go.

Elena Horatio blushes deeper .. "amour..'he say softly looking at the younger couple then looks back at Owen awkward . 'cheri' he just states.

Owen Reinhardt winces "Bloody hell...L....not bloody hell L...but them...do you want to open your Christmas present? It's in the house. We could even cook it...maybe you should watch me though..." He teases and reaches for L's hand again after he stands.

Elena Horatio nods and takes his him 'oui.. i better,..'he say laughing awkwardly

The two of them wander inside for fish fingers and custard now that all is calm outside.
