›› CLOSED STARTER [ . . . ] written for @goosechcse / the garrison , evening ft. elfie mathis .
unlike most patrons at the garrison, river jenkins never stood in the shadows. her presence was always bright and obvious in front of the bar, a beer that definitely wasn’t her first swirling between her hands. she took a sip, hand resting on a fist, and her gaze landed on elfie, lingering there for a moment before questioning, “ so … do you think john anderson’s arrest and the burglarized of the station are connected or… ? ” honestly, she was beyond exhausted of this subject, hearing about it for days on end would do that to anyone, but especially to someone working at the bearhold independent where the talk was more … enthusiastic than anywhere else. still, she cared about the thoughts and opinions of a handful of people, and elfie mathis was among them.
