Fuckinâ figures those two would be trying to schmooze with the other regulars, it was just their style. No wonder Peter looked like he was at wits end with the two of them most of the time. (Honestly, seeing the two of them together here? Hoo boy, thatâs gotta be a handful). Martha shoots Peter an sympathetic look.Â
âAwh geez, that sucks, sorry âbout that. Least theyâre with someone with a good head on his shoulders. Feelinâs mutual though. Dealinâ with some of my coworkers while theyâre plastered is a real pain in the ass, yâknow? Also the boss too, itâs the epitome of ugh.â She raises a brow at his confession, then lightly sighs. âNow I ainât for lecturinâ but donât drink too much, mmkay? Iâd hate to card ya, cuz yer underage and all.â She eyes the root beer float suspiciously, with lips pursed, then returns her attention to him. âHow much in it?â
Martha chuckles at his compliment, but then procceds to tackle what Peter says next.
âHuhâŚscreamo, havenât considered, but Iâd be game. Though, I havenât really played âround with it,â The more genres she explored, the more diverse customers they could get. Sheâd need to bring it up to her boss later. âWonder if I could mix in some metal in too yâknow?âÂ
It also depended on whoâd be coming too. âBut a screamo one man showâŚ. donât think I could pull it off without some help ya know? Like, with a band.â She lifts a lazy brow now, âya know where I could find a band? sounds like a fun time, could liven up the place a bit.â She was joking with him, but who knows? Maybe she could get a jack pot on one.
"I ain't, I ain't," he says, waving his hand dismissively. "Lord knows I can't afford to, havin' to chaperone these fucks." More than likely, he's going to be the one to have to drive their asses homeâeven though he's only on a provisional license. Peter takes another swig as Martha asks how much liquor was in his drink. Answer? Not nearly enough. "Just a shot of Bailey's. Won't even get me buzzed."
But if she was looking for a band, Peter knows a few guys. "You know about the Friedhof boys? Even if you don't, I'm pretty sure you know Amethystos." Apparently the guy used to frequent the place before he got married, since he'd worked at the juvenile corrections facility in the next town over. "The Friedhof boys are his kids and they're pretty damn good. They have this little garage band thing going, so you can ask them to help you out if you want."
He hears Reid's tipsy laughter and the mildly slurred I heard Friedhof~ Are you talking about Wolfram~? He's such a sweetie~! float overhead. Peter facepalms. For fuck's sake. Why is his brother like this? And why the hell did Franz let him drink?!
