Awww damn. Here, let me.. it's my mess.

[lyrical_soul]

[Ara laughs and shakes her head, mopping it with the bar towel.]

No need. It is part of the job, my friend. [She lifts her head and smiles lightly.]

Can I get you anything else?

[whisky_ghost]

Well...

I guess another beer. Since I slopped the last one....

Sorry about that.

[lyrical_soul]

Alright then, same kind?

It is fine, it happens all the time. You are more polite about it then some.

[whisky_ghost]

I used to help bartend. It's a tough job.

Same kind is good. Yeah.

[lyrical_soul]

It can be, but it pays well enough for school.

[She brings him a fresh beer, popping the top off and sitting it down in front of him. Making sure no one else needed anything at the bar, she leaned on the counter and looked at him.]

So, where did you bartend?

[whisky_ghost]

Little place in North Carolina. The Sacred Yew... I never got paid for it though.

Course I didn't go to school, either. What are you studying?

[lyrical_soul]

The Sacred Yew? I have never been. What brought you there, then?

I suppose you can count yourself fortunate at times, lectures are dull. [She chuckles, keeping an eye out along the bar before turning back to him.]

I just started my first semester at New York University, getting prepared for entering pre-med studies then I hope to be accepted to a decent medical school.

[whisky_ghost]

My friend Kinsey owns it. I help out when I've got time.

Wow...[he makes an impressed face] so you're really smart!

[lyrical_soul]

That is nice of you. You enjoy it?

[She offers him a halfway, lopsided smile.] Not yet, but maybe some day. Thank you.

[Another louder patron gets her attention down the bar for a fresh drink and she holds up a finger before leaving. She returns a few minutes later, tossing the towel over her shoulder and giving him her full attention again.]

What do you do?

[whisky_ghost]

I like to help when I can. How about you? This what makes you happy?

[He sips his drink and smiles when she returns, not at all expecting her to given the business]

These days? Not much. I sing, I guess. Not much more than that.

[lyrical_soul]

That is good. At the moment, I think it does. People make me curious. [Where did that come from?]

[He was decent conversation, it was nice. Most came and went fairly quickly for their drinks to dance or mingle, some lingered once a while.]

You are a musician or just a hobby?

[whisky_ghost]

People should! They're a big bag of mysteries most of the time!

It's kind of a hobby, working towards the other. Sell a few CDs here and there... enough for beer money anyway.
