The Devil's Nest [Monday evening]

Jack was completely thrilled to be somewhere that wasn't covered in snow in ice--in July, that had been absolutely obscene--and had chalked up the unfriendly expressions on the locals' faces when he'd visited that afternoon with them being generally unimpressed with his decor and overall first impression.

It was hardly the first time people had seemed put-out by him, honestly.

He greeted Tiny cheerfully and then settled behind the bar with a copy of The Shipping News. It wasn't about what he thought it would be about.

Zayne wasn't sure this place had been open last time he was here. Of course, last time he was here, he was just trying to say hi to people after having just survived all kind of life threatening horror, so it would have been easy to miss.

Still, he sat at the bar and said, "Hi," to the bartender, not realizing he was too young to drink here. "How are you tonight?"

"Confused," Jack admitted. "This book is not about ships at all!"

"Oh, no? Then what is it about?" Zayne asked, peeking at the title. He had to admit, it seemed like Jack's expectations were at least somewhat reasonable.

"Mailing things, I believe," Jack said. "It's quite dull."

"So it doesn't have anything to do with the media?" Zayne asked. "I guess it defies all expectations."

"Teach me to try to read thing," Jack declared, tossing the book away. "How can I help ye, matey?"

Zayne wasn't used to such casual disregard for books around here. It was... surprising. "Um, do you have any specials tonight?"

"Rum," Jack answered predictably, "but I'll have to see proof that ye're 21. Boss's orders."

"There's an age limit?" Zayne asked. "Um. Do you have any specials for a nineteen year old?"

"Milk," Jack offered.

"Okay, I'll have a glass of that," Zayne said. "But there's really an age limit here?"

"There really is," Jack said, sliding a glass of milk across the bar toward him. "Personally, I don't care, but I'd rather not get eaten by the boss."

"The owner eats people?" Zayne asked. "Please tell me you're just being figurative."

"Vampire," Jack whispered loudly.

"Oh, that makes sense," Zayne said. "Does he eat people a lot?"

Jack had no idea.

"Probably," he decided. "He seems like he would."
