Caritas [Thursday evening]

When Robin wandered into Caritas on Thursday evening, Tino was nowhere to be found, but a note regarding his shunning of Robin was on the bar.

Evidently he'd discovered he'd have to work next Thursday for her.

[I am aroooooound but there is a new pet so replies might be a wee tad slow.]

Every time that Robin thought that the town was done being weird at her, some kid came along and talked funny.

"Sure," she said slowly, preparing the drink and eyeing the boy carefully before setting it before him.

Romeo took the drink and smiled a grateful smile at the bartender. he knew he was getting examined, he just wasn't sure why.

"I thank thee," he said, taking a sip. "Hast thou worked here long?"

"I...hast worked here a few months," she said carefully.

Huh? Oh, right, verb conjugation. Romeo slooooowed dooooown. "Then you have my advantage," he said. "I was new at the start of this term, and this is my first time in this establishment. Well, as myself."

Belatedly, he remembered Frank had come. And probably not tipped.

"You had the weird out-of-body experience thing, too?" she asked sympathetically.

Romeo snorted. "Aye. He was a villain and stole from me. Who did you get?"

"Um. Myself at sixteen, kind of," she said, choosing not to elaborate. "Did anyone warn you before it happened?"

"You cannot have been so bad, even as a teen," Romeo said, out of blissful ignorance. "And I was warned about many other things, but no, not that."

"Oh, no, I was," she assured him. "And see I just got the general 'things're weird here, also there were dinosaurs one time' warning."

"How?" Romeo asked, genuinely curious. He was imagining acne and braces.

The mention of dinosaurs made him smile. "The one I only heard of last week was jello dragons. I am still not over that, quite."

"I knew about those and still don't believe in them," she admitted. "I mean come on. Jello? Really?"

She heaved a sigh, and added, "I was a teenage pop star. In Canada. My hair was big and my song was really earwormy."

"I know! And I was trying to find out how they were slain, and the person I talked to admitted he had seen them only in simulation, and run even then," Romeo flailed. "So I suppose it is a mystery."

He winced a little at Robin's self-description. That did sound kind of bad. "I can see why that would not be a time in your life to cherish," he said. "Should I buy you a drink for making you explain it?"

Robin grinned. "You don't have to. I get them free," she pointed out. "But you're sweet. I'm Robin, by the way."

"More than fair pay, then. Maybe I should have sought a job here instead of at the clothing shop," Romeo told her. "And I am Romeo. I suspect you can tell, but I go to the school here."

"Totally never would've guessed," she deadpanned.

He grinned at that. "I know, I look like I came for the retirement home, or perhaps to run a dairy farm."

"You look like a wicked mah jongg player," she said, nodding. "I bet you rule shuffleboard."

"And I am as crochety as any man, and more so than many," Romeo nodded. "'Tis a perfect fit."
