Caritas, Saturday

Well, it was safe to say that Tino was prepared for the 4th with the massive amount of red, white, and blue decorations going on.

"You know it's not until Tuesday, right?" Jane asked, looking around at the bar that looked like patriotism had thrown up all over the place.

He had not known, it seemed. As the rest of the evening was filled with sullen silence on his end and glares as he pulled down each decoration like it offended him.

[OCD free!]
stykera: (ok)

Why hadn't Tino put up some maple leaves?

"Hello, Jane," Stark said as he walked in.

He gave Tino something of a look but didn't comment. It was almost always best not to comment.
stykera: (ok)

Tino was just Like That.

"How are you?" he asked, sliding onto a stool. "Quiet week?"
stykera: (headtilt)

"Hero stuff?" Stark asked. "Or other stuff? Good stuff, I hope."

Amaya could probably stand to get out of her shop a little more these days, especially since, during the summer sessions, even her class was held in her shop. And a good way to do just that, without leaning on there being some big event or whatnot going on, was to just hit up the local water holes, something she should probably be doing more often anyway.

"Hey, there, Jane," she greeted as she took a seat and nodded. "How's it going?"

Well, besides the apparent de-decoration, anyway, but Amaya wasn't sure quite yet if she wanted to know more about that.
special_rabbit: (chatting it up)

"Well," Amaya offered, in a sort of consoling tone, "from my experience, that's not exactly a hard thing to do. A bit sensitive," if she intended to lower her voice so that Tino didn't overhear it, she sure did a very poor job of it, "really." She shrugged. "What can you do?"

But then, a moment later, she did have to ask: "What did you do?"
special_rabbit: (considering)

[personal profile] special_rabbit 2023-07-01 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well," Amaya said, after a moment to consider that, "it would give the firefighters something to do."

Which was a pretty cavalier attitude for someone who worked with fire every day of her life, but, then again, maybe that was just because she worked with fire every day of her life.

"But overall," she concluded, "that was probably a wise decision on your part. Not the kind of bonfire I think anyone wants on a Saturday night."

Or probably technically any night, but who was she to judge?

"Good then, for the hero stuff," Stark said, nodding.

"And I hope it wasn't bad less interesting. Sometimes not interesting is just necessary. And sometimes it's better not to be interesting. Sometimes things are far too interesting. You've been well?"
stykera: (little smile)

"The beach here?" Stark asked. "Like a party? This is one of the grilling holidays, isn't it? With fireworks?"

Jane, you were going to have an overexcited Muppet bird at your beach party.
special_rabbit: (thinking talking)

"I'm always one for a good, solid ale," Amaya said, with another stout little nod, "unless there's anything in particular you'd recommend. Always interested to try something a bit new, especially if there's a bit of a kick in it that might put a mule to shame."

"I'm sure he could do something," Stark said. "Or someone could."

Did Tony have a robot for that?

"I don't spend enough time on the beach here."
special_rabbit: (amused considering)

".....I do like a good mead, as well," Amaya mused, because of course she would, it was pretty much required for anyone from a good, solid, vaguely European, medieval-esque setting. The sipping part, she was a little unsure of, but she supposed she'd know more about that when she tried it. "Alright, then, let's maybe try a little of that, see how much I regret it in the morning."
stykera: (eye)

[personal profile] stykera 2023-07-01 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
That was true. Nobody wanted a sad Raiden.

"I don't have any plans," Stark said. "So I can be there."

Maybe he could ask his very good friend if she would like to go, but in a very non-serious sort of way.

Now that was a bottle that made Amaya feel right at home.

Forget the fact that she was really coming in on actually having lived here for just about as long as she'd lived anywhere. If not longer.

"I'll definitely keep that in mind," said Amaya, who, thankfully, would definitely be reminded of it every time she breathed in when she went to have one of those sips. "Thanks, Jane! So! How's things around good old Caritas? Feels like I haven't actually managed to pop into here since the last Three Minute Dates...wait. No. I just checked the tags remembered Summer had a costume party in here at one point, too. Then probably the three minute dates, actually."
special_rabbit: (you got it kid)

Amaya nodded down the bar at Stark with a lift of her very small glass of very slowly sipped Asgardian mead. "Hey, there, Stark," she said. "Had a whistle that needed wetting tonight, too?"
