Private Finished The Drink Doesn't Help in Forgetting

Let you express appreciation? Those words almost went over Rada's head, although she could somehow guess that the woman was referring to the blonde that was always with her, not Rada. Were they together? Had they broken up? Though this woman had been down in the dumps even before the argument tonight. Had this woman driven her away tonight?
Rada didn't start speculating too much, it was none of her business. What was her business was watching over this woman until she got home safe, and that was what Rada intended to do.
"Express away then. I don't know what or who you're talking about, but it's better than walking in silence."
Rada didn't like silence, it made her anxious.

As the two began to walk Rada more than once acted as a kind of wall, letting the woman bounce off of her if she wobbled too far to the side. They walked slowly, but Rada had noticed earlier that the woman didn't like being carried and she wouldn't lean on Rada. So Rada was just going to make sure she didn't fall, and if it looked like she would Rada grabbed the woman's arm, straightened her and let go.

After a while the woman asked the question Rada had asked herself few times, and she took a moment to think about it and then answer.
"Well, I might be a stranger to you, but to me you're not so much of a stranger. I've been watching you drink away your sorrows for months now, you know. "
Rada pointed out, and yet again nudged the woman a bit when she wobbled over to the side.
"I take care of those under my roof, whether they appreciate it or not. And seeing you tonight drinking all alone without that blonde friend of yours was pitiful. Hate me for all you want for saying that, but it's true."
Rada didn't mind at all saying all this, because the woman probably wouldn't even remember any of it tomorrow. And Rada was nothing but honest, after all. Well, most of the time, at least.

"Utterly disgraceful"? This woman really didn't have a high opinion of herself right now, but that wasn't surprising at all. She was probably blaming herself for whatever had made her so sad. As for telling Rada to not get any closer, that made Rada want to get closer even more. She was the kind of rebellious person who wanted to go against any orders given to her unless she agreed with them, and in this case she didn't even know this woman. So how would Rada know if getting closer to her would be bad, especially since the woman was saying that when utterly drunk and bathing in misery and self-pity.
"I'll make that judgment on my own."
Rada said, crossing her arms with a stern look on her face.

"I'll see you tomorrow then. And if you come without a drinking buddy I'll be forced to get closer to you. I won't let you drink yourself to death under my roof."
Rada finished and huffed, watching the woman climb up the stair. She said she was fine, but Rada was going to stand here until the door opened and the woman was safely inside. Rada ignored the phone vibrating in her pocket, it was either her babysitter or brother and she wasn't going to answer the call from either of them.

Rada certainly hadn't expected a big, buff man to open the door, and to call the woman ma'am no less. Rada lifted a brow, who was this woman, to be called with such titles when she clearly couldn't be much older than Rada. Rada got a bit curious, even though she tried telling herself none of this was her business. Keep your nose out of it.
Well, the woman was safely inside. It was about time for Rada to go too, otherwise her babysitter or worse, Cazimir was going to be sent out to find her.
"No problem. Just make sure next time she has someone with her."
Rada answered the man, and waved her hand as she began walking away.

Rada didn't have time to take but few steps before the voice that Rada had heard a lot during these few months called out to someone. Rada stopped and looked over her shoulder, it was the blonde one. Going somewhere? Rada frowned a bit and thought back to what the woman had said. And she silently growled to herself out of frustration, she just had to meddle, didn't she?
Rada turned around and walked a bit closer to the blonde woman, on her face a stern and determined expression.
"She regrets something a lot, that woman. And a lot of that regret has to do with you. She said you stayed, although tonight you clearly didn't."
Rada said with a clear voice, obviously talking to the blonde. Her tone wasn't aggressive, just honest, since she was speaking the truth.
"Talk it out. You two clearly share a strong bond, and she cares about you shit ton. If one argument meddles with that then she won't be the only one having regrets."
Rada was too far away to sense the blonde's emotions, and she really didn't care either. As long as she got the message. Rada's phone vibrated again, and with a sigh she dug it out. Yup, Cazimir was coming. Wonderful. Rada put the phone back and looked the blonde dead in the eyes once more.
"Just some advice from your friendly neighbourhood empath. I recommend you listen to it, but if you don't it's your loss. I'm in a hurry, so goodbye."
Rada finished with a huff, and without hearing any possible answer she turned and began jogging away. If these people were some kind of gang Rada didn't want Cazimir to think she was fraternizing with the enemy or some bullshit like that.

More than few surprises fit into this evening, when suddenly Rada heard a voice in her head as she was jogging away. She hated that feeling over everything else, Rada hated when people invaded her mind. It reminded Rada of all the times the members of her family had forced words into her head telepathically and she had been powerless to answer, just a pathetic omega forbidden and unable to talk back. Rada wanted to run right back and punch the blonde in the face, how dare that bitch force such useless words into her head. No, Rada would never hold her tongue if she thought something needed to be said. And if those two for whatever reason were too idiotic to deal with their shit then it was none of Rada's business. So Rada, despite being left feeling angry and bitter, kept going. She shifted into her wolf form and begun running, sparing one more glance behind her before growling and running away.
This was what she got for meddling, fucking idiot.

Thanks to her stunt last night Rada's babysitter was keeping watch on her the entire next, and it made Rada extremely cranky. Naturally what had happened last night really didn't help with that. At school the man stood outside the classroom, and when she was at work he stood in the corner of the kitchen. And now when Rada climbed up the stairs to the bar at midnight(because Rada's brother had thought it would be better she worked longer today) he followed in suit. Rada was very much holding back from punching his lights out. And the babysitter was probably doing the same, since with her angry mood Rada was spreading a decent amount of pheromones in the air and all werewolves around her were affected by them. Including her babysitter.

Once she climbed all the way to the top and entered the bar she got a wave of greetings from the regulars. But once they saw who was with Rada and how angry she looked they just turned away and focused on their drinks. It was wise of them, if Rada was angry you probably shouldn't talk to her if she didn't talk to you first.
Rada approached the bar, tonight she was too angry to be behind it so she went to sit by it. But when her babysitter attempted to sit too Rada stood back up and grabbed him by the collar, talking to him in Russian with a low voice.
"Not you. You go sit there and let me fucking be."
Rada shoved the man away and sat back down. Her babysitter, after glaring at her for few moments, went to sit in a table where he had a good visual of Rada.
Rada didn't even need to say anything, the bartender poured her 3 shots to begin with and she emptied the first one within a second, exhaling deeply. Today had been a goddamn shitty day, and Rada wanted to get drunk. It usually mellowed out her mood.

Only after she had finished off the second shot did Rada notice the woman from yesterday. So she really had come today too. And when Rada looked to her other side she saw two other people, one of them looked familiar. Probably here accompanying their "boss" or whatever the woman was.
Looking at the woman reminded Rada of the stunt the blonde pulled yesterday, and it irritated Rada further. But this woman had just been drunk and stubborn and nothing else, so Rada made sure not to direct her anger at her. Rather, Rada stood up and moved closer to the woman, bringing her remaining shot glass with her.
"Remember me?"
Rada simply asked once she got close. It was possible that the woman was the type of drunk to forget about the previous night.
