Oh, no! I don’t think that’s it at all.

[ He might’ve been rude, but he wasn’t that terrible of a drunk at least. ]

He probably just wanted to check this place out. I’d been hearing about it myself so I wanted to take a look.

[ And in the end she sort of made a mess… ]

Is this what you’ve been up to?

[dirtdevil]

Well, he's welcome to check it out from the outside.

[ he's not really expecting the dude to try to come back in, but he glances back over his shoulder briefly anyway. it's busy enough tonight that it might be slightly easier to sneak in than usual, but he's relatively confident about his handling of the situation.

he's still gonna keep an eye out either way. ]

A few nights a week, yeah. Figured I might as well make myself useful at least part of the time.

[ he's not terribly well-suited for a lot of the work in this place, but he's pretty good at throwing people out doors. it's a valuable skill. sort of. ]

And you're what, singing? Or was that guy so trashed he was just making shit up?

[sing_for_me]

[ She’s pretty sure the bar found him plenty useful if they had to deal with people like that on the daily. ]

I am, though not here. I just finished, so I came by for fun.

[ Though…maybe going to a bar by yourself doesn’t exactly sound like ‘fun’. ]

How…how’ve you been?

[ Since that time of forced vulnerability. Was it okay to ask that here? ]

Oh wait—I’m sorry, you’re still on the job right? I don’t mean to take up your time or get you in trouble…

[dirtdevil]

It's fine. I'm not gonna get in trouble.

[ aside from having a pretty good perspective on what's going in here most of the time, he also takes a moment to socialize with patrons approximately... uh, never, so he's not exactly worried about it. ]

I'm doing well. [ damn, it's pretty nice being able to say that. it sounds odd coming out of his own mouth. ] I'd hope your days usually go better than this.

[sing_for_me]

I’m glad.

[ What with how distraught he looked, it’s great that he was doing well. ]

And yes! It’s not always like this. [ Her laugh is a bit embarrassed, hoping she didn’t come off as some kind of trouble magnet. ]

There are a few people like that. It is what it is.

[dirtdevil]

[ it certainly made it hard to sleep that night, but it could have been a lot worse, and he knows it. actually, come to think of it... ]

Eh, I'm not too worried about it. I happen to know you can throw a pretty good punch when you need to.

[sing_for_me]

[ She should take that as a compliment, even if she knows it wasn’t an actual punch that she demonstrated. She has been practicing, though! ]

Thanks, [ An awkward chuckle precedes her gratitude, but she thinks that sounds better than trying to play her actions down. ]

Still, I would like to show my appreciation. You’re on the clock now so maybe…if you’re free earlier in the day I could get you a coffee or tea sometime? Ah, unless you prefer food, that’s fine too.

[dirtdevil]

[ ordinarily he would turn down an offer like this, but the fact is he still feels indebted to Alex for punching headbutting him that night and rescuing him from having to relive one of the worst moments of his life.

which is saying a lot, because his life has totally sucked.

anyway, that aside, Alex also just said the magic word, so how could he possibly say no? ]

If you really want to, I guess. I do like tea.

[ massive understatement, but it's fine. people don't need to know how into tea he is. ]

[sing_for_me]

[ His response might be subdued, but Alex still took it positively. It wasn’t a no. ]

Great!

[ Reaching into her pocket she pulls out her phone. ]

Can I have your contact information then?
