Caritas- Tuesday

While Kitty had been in Italy, there'd been a few shipments of new things to come in, which she knew about. What she hadn't known about was the poster Tino had helpfully put up of the more, um, exotic beers they offered. Some of those were new to her, but hey, it was helpful, and now Tino was trying to try them all in one shift.

After futilely trying to talk him out of it, Kitty decided she'd have more fun going up and back over whether or not to go on a certain proposed New Orleans trip.

SPECIALS
ANYTHING ON THE POSTER

Sing your little heart out. Drunkenly.

Now starring drinks from where you might be from!

Mike looked over the chart, not sure what to make of it. Well, if today's special was microbrews, then today's special was microbrews.

"Have you tried any of these?" he asked Kitty dubiously. "Some of the names don't exactly inspire confidence."

"I haven't yet," Kitty admitted, and hiked a thumb towards Tino. "He has, though, and he's holding up pretty well."

So far. In an hour it'd probably be another story.

Mike raised his eyebrows at that. "Still not inspiring confidence. If 'holding up pretty well' is the best you can say, then we've got a problem." He sighed and turned to Tino. "You got any recommendations, over there?"

Tino went ahead and gave him a Duff. See, totally safe.

"You might have to give a little bit of leeway on recs today," Kitty said. "We just got this in and this is my first day back from vacation."

Mike took a sip and looked disappointed, but he kept drinking it anyway. "Right. The Italy trip. So, tell me, does the entire town often go on joint vacations like that? It's a bit unusual, in my experience."

"The school does, twice a year," she nodded, leaning on the bar. "The students have the option to go or have a week off, and the teachers volunteer to chaperone. It's a pretty sweet deal."

Mike snorted and shook his head in disappointment at himself. "You know, here I was, this whole week, thinking that it's some quaint local custom, and it turns out to just be a field trip. Well, isn't that something?" He gave Kitty a shrug. "That must be some kinda prep school you got there."

"It's... different," she said. "Welcome to town, by the way."

Mike saluted her with his beer. "Thanks. I thought I was just passing through, but it turns out I'm not. You're looking at the new owner of the grocery store."

"Congratulations," she told him with a little smile. "I'm Kitty. I run this place."

"Mike." He saluted her with his beer again. "Pleased to meet you." He set his beer down and gave her a long, hard, critical look. "Now, this is just the advice of an old man, and you don't have to take it, but you may want to reconsider 'Catherine'. In my experience, the ones who stick with 'Kitty' don't always end up so well."

"Oh yeah? And how do they end up?" she asked, curious. She wouldn't be changing her name but that didn't mean she wanted to hear the reasoning.

Mike shrugged. "Junkies, prostitutes, the 'other woman' in a messy divorce... I'll tell you this: I don't think I've ever seen a 'Kitty' in a suit."

He frowned. "And now I'm thinking of this 'Lydia' that I know. I tell you what -- a suit's not so great after all. Don't listen to me -- it's your name, after all."

"I can pretty much guarantee you that none of those things'll be happening to me," Kitty assured him. "Suit probably included."

"'Pretty much'?" Mike challenged.

"Okay, guarantee." Save for weird weekends that she had no control over. "Were you a cop before?"

Wild guess, with talk of junkies and prostitutes.

"A loooong time ago," Mike acknowledged. "Another lifetime. So it goes." He took a long swig of his beer.

"Then that one's on the house." Kitty tended to like cops.

Mike sighed and shook his head no. "Look, kid, I applaud the sentiment. Not enough people these days give cops the respect they deserve. But I'm not the guy you want to give that free drink to. Like I said, it was a long time ago."

Sit quietly.

That's all you're allowed to do in the lounge today.

Where that show about secret agents in a superhero world was on and no, you can't change the channel.
