Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

While Kitty was sort of ready for this whole pregnancy thing to be over already, there was also some panic setting in that there was t really that much time left, and way too much left to do, and dye dydbt feel ready for this at all.

So, whenever she had a free moment, she was using her phone to make to-do lists or googling stuff to make it feel like she had a handle on this, for the love of god please distract her.

[Open, no OCD!]

A little earlier in the evening than his usual-- there was a movie 'class' and his usual shooting-the-shit with Kaidan to get to as well-- Kanan slipped into the bar.

"Hey," he said, offering Kitty a grin. "How's my favorite bartender tonight?"

[throughaphase]

"I have ten weeks."

That's how.

[uncertain_dume]

Well, that earned a little whistle, at least.

"So, down-to-the-wire worrying setting in, huh?" He nodded a little, settling on in. "Offer still stands if there's anything at all I can do to make this easy on you. All-nighter babysitting contract aside, I mean."

[throughaphase]

"That's good to know, since we almost called for reinforcements on the crib yesterday," Kitty said. "Thanks. It's just... overwhelming and I don't know where to start. Hi. How are you?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Actually, I'm pretty good?" Kanan shrugged his shoulders. "You know, I have done a lot of handyman work over the years. If you get any more unintelligible baby equipment assembly directions or anything, I mean. It can't be more complicated than repairing the repulsorlifts on an ancient hoverbus."

Screw you, Mark Six Smoothride. It had been almost satisfying, watching you crash and burn. Except for the 'being on it at the time' part.

"... Probably. If it is, at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing it's probably not just you."

"If Seivarden comes in," Rosa said, leaning on the bar when she got in, looking around, not spotting her yet, "she's picking up my drinks."

Now she wondered if Seivarden wouldn't bother coming in just to avoid picking up her drinks.

"And if Captain Tightpants comes in," she added, "I'm picking up his."

It was clearly a whole thing.

[throughaphase]

"Okay..." Kitty said, nodding. "Which one is Captain Tightpants?"

[died8yearsago]

Come on, now, Kitty, you didn't actually expect Rosa to remember his actual name, did you? It had been months before she even remembered Kanan's name, and the only reason she bothered was because 'The One with the Dog' wasn't nearly snappy (or specific) enough.

"The cute one," she said. "With the nice butt."

Because that narrowed it down.

"I don't know, kinda Mexican-looking."

Kinda? Her parents would love him.

[throughaphase]

"Okay, that sounds like I might have to do some racial profiling there, but I'll keep an eye out," she said. "What exactly have you been up to here?"

[died8yearsago]

"He teaches science, or something?" Rosa offered, which was probably just as helpful.

"Anyway, the drink from Seivarden's because I covered her radio shifts for her while she was gone," drinks that she had given up way too easily on, which still made Rosa suspicious, but she was trying to take the victory as it came, "and I promised Tightpants one if he survived his class last week. As far as I know, he's still alive, and so drinks on me."

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden did come in. She wasn't going to ignore her promise, and besides, she wanted a drink herself.

"So," she said, leaning against the bar next to Rosa. "What do you want?"

[died8yearsago]

"I don't know yet," Rosa said, tilting her head, narrowing her eyes as she examined the bottles behind the bar. "I wonder what the most expensive drink they got is..."

[1000yearstoolate]

"I bought a bottle of whisky once," Seivarden said. "It wasn't cheap. That was on the mainland though."

She might not be rich here, but she wouldn't let Rosa imply she was ungenerous. Besides, a whole bottle would no doubt make Rosa drunk and that could be entertaining.

[died8yearsago]

"I do like whiskey," Rosa admitted, her thoughtful look growing more pondering. She knew what a bottle of whiskey could do, though, and that's be getting more than her money's worth.

Well, Seivarden's.

"I think Kitty can hook us up with a bottle," she decided. "You have to drink it, too, though."

Oh, yeah, real hard sacrifice for her there.

[what_the_shock]

Captain Tightpants Miguel had been sort-of promised a drink, so he was definitely showing up tonight!

He stopped in and looked around to see if Rosa was there, pausing to wave at Kitty.

[throughaphase]

"Are you Captain Tightpants?" Kitty checked, waving.

Look, she wasn't actually going to be racially profiling, so she was going to check with every guy who came in if they were, in fact, Captain Tightpants.

[what_the_shock]

Miguel snorted. "That's me, apparently. They're not that tight, really." Well, today's jeans were just a little snug, but perfectly acceptable.

[throughaphase]

"Maybe not, but Rosa's doing a good job of influencing the public," Kitty noted.

[what_the_shock]

Miguel snorted. "The first time Rosa met me, I was in a UMF bodysuit. Apparently it stuck."

In more ways than one.

[died8yearsago]

"Heyyyyyy, Tightpants!" Rosa called out, to be helpful, of course, so that Kitty would have no doubt in her mind who she'd been talking about now.

And neither would most of the bar now, but, hey, apparently, Seivarden's part of her drink deals meant half a bottle of whiskey, soooo...

[what_the_shock]

In answer, Miguel held up his hands and did a slow turn. His jeans today were no worse than a little snug, but hey.

He smirked and came to sit by Rosa. "Still alive and here for my drink."

[died8yearsago]

They both knew those weren't the tight pants she was talking about.

"Yeah, okay," Rosa snorted at the little turn of showmanship, shaking her head. "Don't let it go to your head or anything. What're you getting?"

[what_the_shock]

"Beer's fine," Miguel said, "thanks. How's it going?"

[hernando_fuentes]

Hernando went to check out the bar. He'd heard some strange things about the band and was very curious.

Kanan was at the bar.

Nope.

Hernando gave the bartender an apologetic look and a murmured 'excuse me' before turning around and walking out again. He would try again on a different day.

[throughaphase]

Kitty watched that, tried not to be insulted by that, and went back to work.
