the story continues with @cryptidofficer ;; thomas &&. north
That question was one that could be heard a million times, yet somehow it still managed to amuse him. Still, seeing as the person asking was painfully easy on the eyes, he couldn’t help but indulge the question. ❝ Sometimes, yeah. Good place to drink, and do some people watching if I’m feelin’ like it. ❞
Sitting up a bit from his slouched position at the bar, he offers a smile. ❝ You new here? Thought I knew all the bartenders that worked at this place. ❞ He probably sounded more sober than most of the patrons, he thought briefly to himself. Being what he was could be a blessing and a curse, depending on how badly he was wanting to get drunk. It did offer him a clear mind for conversation though.
❝ Or maybe I’ve just missed you when I came in. Kind of a misstep on my part, I’ve gotta say. ❞
sure that had been a overused phrase by thomas, but it worked. okay, it worked most of the times (say nine times out of ten). though it seemed to amuse the other just by a quick glance over their frame. ❝ well, that’s a good thing to hear considerin' this is my bar. &&. you’re right. people watchin' is fun here. especially near closin’ time. ❞
deep hues continue to linger on them before a cocky smile grows over his features, leaning over the bar. ❝ not new, just used a few vacation days is all. a much as i love the place, i needed a break from here. ❞ which isn’t to say he noticed the other from before taking the few day break. vaguely so. or maybe he is just imagining things? no one would really know.
❝ that is a possibility though. ❞ a small pause, that same cock grin growing a little larger in style. ❝ that so? &&. how did you figure that? ❞
