Caritas; Wednesday [08/28].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer wasn't really sure when exactly this had happened, but, apparently, according to him, Tino had always been an aggressive Connect Four player, and he was leaning into it that evening hard by posting up a couple of the games and promising that, if anyone managed to beat him, they could have their drinks for free tonight.

She agreed to play one game with him, and she was pretty sure it was the most aggressive round of a game pretty much meant for children she had ever played without anything actually exploding. Tino did, in fact, win, and more easily than she would have liked to have admitted, and she might have gone for a rematch if he wasn't being so obnoxiously braggadocios about how swiftly and smartly he'd beaten her.

She almost warned him to chill, that it was just a game, but she could already tell that that could just end up in a lot of Connect Four boards being upended from the bar, and she did not want to deal with that.

"That obvious?" Adrian asked with a laugh and extended a hand over the bar. "Adrian Blackwood, pleased to meet you. I arrived Monday, but I think the trip exhausted me more than I was expecting and I ended up sleeping all through yesterday, rather than getting up and exploring like I'd intended."

The trip...or maybe having not slept for a full three days before that. One of those.

"Summer Smith," shebsaid, gladly taking that hand with a firm shake. "And welcome to the island, Adrian. You're a bit ahead of the welcome picnic, but that," she gestured toward some of the other new faces tonight, "seems to be trend. You settling in okay? Met anyone to give you the usual rundown? And, even more important, what's your drink of choice?"

"There's a whole welcome picnic?" Adrian asked, blinking. "Well, that's very civic-minded of people. Ah, you do that any time someone new moves to the town?"

Okay, he was definitely Mr. Friendly Extrovert here, especially compared to, oh, everyone in the bar, and even he thought a whole picnic to welcome people was a bit much.

"Overall, I'm settling in all right. Currently in the hotel, looking for a place to, uh, settle down in for a bit. I met Yelena at the airport, but you are the first actual resident I've spoken to." He gave her a crooked grin. "And my drink of choice is whatever experience I haven't had yet."
