Oh holy shit and I'm kinda easing off my stool and slipping forward, thinking about trying to get between them, 'cause I know this pattern, I sure as hell do, which leaves me wondering why the fuck I am not keeping my head down. But Iago's I guess handling it okay, and I think he knows what Gaueko is, or else he's really way mellower than I'd guess around angry dads.
"Yeah, no need to scare the horses, right?" I say, and I screw up my courage and touch Gaueko's arm. "Come on, I'm sure he didn't hurt your girl, he's a nice guy, he really really is." He really is, and I'm kinda proud I managed not to say I'm sure he didn't do anything she didn't want him to 'cause I think that might not go over so well right now. "Let me get the next round and I'm sure you can sort this out, right?"
