"Derek Dobbs, you are a Godsend!" Bess let out, ignoring the glares she knew were coming from the other two men. Well, he was, there had been no way she was going to stop Drystan or Chester! Bess quickly explained the way Chester had threatened her and grabbed her to the hitwizard (blushing hard and stuttering a bit because she knew Drystan could hear and that made her feel--cheap), and Chester was magically handcuffed and taken away.
It would have been a really glorious feeling if he hadn't just ruined their evening, and probably her entire relationship with Drystan. Who would want to deal with a woman who had crazy men like that hounding her at all times? Bess had ranted about Chester enough times for Drystan to be aware of his pitiful existence, but this was the first time she actually had to confront how big of an issue he was, in front of Drystan. She was glad that he was here, of course, but it may have been too early to play knight-in-shining-armor.
"Let's get you home," she sighed, reaching up and grazing a bruise on Drystan's cheek. Bess felt terrible that she was the reason behind it, and held onto him tightly when they disapparated out of the party and to his flat. Bess didn't wait a second after they landed to head into Drystan's bathroom for a first aid kit, and came back with pain relieving potions and bandages. She'd patched him up before, because she was...insistent that way, but those times had been because of quidditch and Drystan stubbornly ignoring the mediwizards there.
This had been because of her, and as she knelt into the mattress beside him to position herself to help, Bess felt the guilt rise up and she dropped her hands.
"I'm---so sorry, Drystan...I didn't want to talk to him, I hate him and he just---he won't leave me alone and..." she shook her head, shoulders slumping, "I understand if you don't want to---" Bess' voice caught in her throat, and she waved her hand around the room. She felt like this was her bedroom, now, after all the time she'd spent here, "--do this anymore. Us."
