After a few minutes of putting everything away, Alexis headed back toward the sound of muted voices, bottle of open gin in her hand. She searched for a cup as she went and once found, she poured the clear liquid into it.
"What are you doing?" she asked, setting the bottle down on a near by in table, glass in hand.

Simon turned to remain faced towards Edward, but gave him his space for now. He glanced at Alexis as she entered the room, grateful for the interruption of Edward's interrogation. He was silent, leaving the answer to Mr. Quinn, whom he resumed glaring at. His hands relaxed slightly at his sides, but remained near his pockets.

((I had to make up a street name....FAR away....)
Edward grimaced as Alexis came back in. It was going to be a lot harder for him than he thought. He needed to get alone with Simon, or if not that, in a large group. "Uhm, Ms. Bloom..." He said running a hand through his hair, "I've been thinking and, I may need to stay somewhere else tonight." Edward thought quickly of an excuse, though he knew that he wouldn't need a very good one. He had sensed the reluctance in her voice as she had told him he could stay with them. "My sister, I have no clue why I forgot, is coming into London tonight. I told her that I'd meet her at the cafe, y'know the one down on Scarlett Steet? Well I told her I'd meet her there and we'd go down to that ol' bilding where we used to live and lookf or a place." Edward babbled That was one problem he had, when he lied, he babbled. People who were close to him, and even people who could read him, could tell when he was lying. He wouldn't doubtr if Simon and Alexis could tell he was lying. If it was a way to get out, Edward was glad to take it.

((-chokes at the street name.-))
Alexis took a sip of the dry alcohol, feeling a line of fire trickle down her throat and shoot into her stomach, which warmed her up considerably. She listened to Edward quietly, the glass still at her lips though she was not taking a drink, her cat green eyes probing the young man. She set the cup down on the end table where she had put the bottle of gin and replied gently, "Well, Mr. Quinn, if that's what you want to do. You're always more than welcome to stay here.." she was tempted to shoot a glare towards Simon, knowing that he most likely had something to do with this, but she was also kind of grateful.
The thick awkward air and the hatred that rolled off of Simon in waves was smothering.

Simon leaned back against the wall now, folding his arms over his chest; in more relaxed posture his loathing aura calmed slightly. His black eyes narrowed at Edward. He was very much aware he was lying, but didn't understand why... He glanced at Alexis as if asking her what Quinn was up to, but soon turned away to continue leering at Edward. As usual, he was silent on whatever opinions he held.

((Ok, uhm, Edward is gone.....so yea))
Edward smiled wryly. He knew they could tell he was lying, but it gave him more time. Time to think of a plan. He wasn't sure exactly what he was supposed to do. "Well, I'll be see'n ya..." she said, waving towards Alexis He looked at Simon, trying his hardest ot to smile. He opened the door and walked out, a slight jump to his walk. Maybe his plan would be hard, and possibly end his life, but it was worth it. To only hold the razors in his hands would be enough. But to own them, to feel the slick silver handles in his hands, that would be a heavan in this hell of a town.

"Goodbye, Mr. Quinn.." Alexis gave a feeble wave, watching him leave in silence, taking the glass of gin once more. She polished it off before setting it down with a long sigh, turning to Simon with a hand on her hip.
"What do you s'pose he's up to?" she quizzed, raising a brow. "He was so eager to stay here and now.. What'd you do? Not that I care, really. I'd rather have him somewhere else.. His obsession for those blades.." she ranted, voice fading with each word as she shifted her gaze to the door that Edward had left through.

Simon glared venomously as Edward made his exit, black eyes following the man as long as they could. They remained out the window as Alexis questioned him, and he gave no answer. It was afternoon now; they had two or three hours until evening, in which darkness would settle fast in the gloom. Simon had an itch for business, but not normal barber business, so he tried to push the dark thought from his mind. His gaze drifted to the floor, thoughtful. Now that Edward was gone and it was just him and Ms. Bloom, the burning hatred in his eyes had receded to a.. still noticeable, but lesser degree.
