Caritas | Monday

Adrian had expected a pretty normal night at work his first day back from home. And while it probably would be quiet like usual, there was no Tino. Instead, there was Jaina, who had switched shifts with Tino when she'd been out of town this weekend, and apparently had no idea that Tino had ditched out on Saturday ~~cuz the player failed at posting it~~.

Even from opposite ends of the bar, all Adrian could think was shit, he'd actually have to work today.

[Had to try something new. Either person's pingable, idc.]

"A martini with an air of mystery? I know I'm excited. I haven't had a mysterious martini since I used to strain my own with old socks. It wasn't the good kind of mystery."

"I'm very glad you're on that side of the bar," Adrian decided, getting the drink together.

"So am I, but I'm guessing not for the same reasons. I'm much more partial to the sitting and drinking part of the evening. Drinking and then trying to muster the coordination to keep preparing drinks is a lot harder than it sounds."

"I've learned it gets easier," he said, passing over the martini. "Though I think it's easier when you're making your own, and any alcohol spilled is something you're wasting."

"I can't abide wasting alcohol, and so tonight I defer to you to do the pouring. Are you a professional bartender or doing a round of Fandom moonlighting?"

"I'm a college student," Adrian replied, complete with air quotes, since, yeah he wasn't so much in school at the moment. "So both, really."

"A college student in a town with no colleges," Hawkeye replied knowingly. "You'd be more of a professional bartender than some professional bartenders. What's your major?"

"I took art," he admitted, not ever sure how well that went over with people.

"Then you, sir, are a joining a long line of talented drinkers and drink-givers."

Adrian lifted his own glass, because of course he had one, not denying that at all. "I don't remember seeing you in here before."

"I'm not as sociable as I was in my youth." Which was a polite way of saying he usually drank alone. "Hawkeye Pierce. Doctor, surgeon, teacher, ex-Vice Principal, radio announcer. I get around."

"Adrian Ivashkov." It'd been a while since he'd been able to use the last name in an introduction like that. "I'm assuming 'I get around' means 'I'm never not busy.'"

"Good to meet you, Adrian. I keep myself moderately occupied. I spent a few years of my life with long periods of boring interspersed with moments of sheer terror. I've tried not to make a habit of it since then."
