Brothers are such dicks - Marina, Percy, Giles

Marina didn't dress up to meet Percy at their usual haunt, always feeling like dolling up for a bar meant you were on the pull. Pulling was the last thing Marina was interested in, as usual. So in her white top and dark green trousers, she was one of the less revealing women as she entered the bar, stopping Percy quickly and lifting her hand in greeting as she wandered over.

"Hello, Rudolph," she said, slipping up onto the barstool next to him. "What are you drinking?"

"Both of you!" Giles said, accusingly. "How could you do this to me?"

At that, Percy had had enough. Deep down, he loved his brother, but he had never really liked him. Giles managed to be surrounded by women, and he treated them like shit. Instead of offering his brother a response, he simply stepped forward and hit Giles right in the face.

It was unexpected simply for the fact that violence was not something Marina had ever expected from Percy. She looked at him - surprise without any trace of alarm - and asked, unconcerned, "you don't think that was a little extreme?" She looked at Giles and made a small wince. His poor pretty face.

(No, not his pretty face!)

Marina had been so ready to snap something at Giles about how he'd gone off and married someone while they were dating, but Percy's response was probably better.
