Quest 5: Reflecting on recent turns of events -Written-

[fuckelves]

[Thorin's not sure what to think over M leaving...true, they were not particularly close, but he did appreciate the strong woman's opinion and had a great respect for her after the business with the Gentlemen.]

...the bar won't be the same without her running the show...

[Meg was actually a little touched, but that's not the kind of thing she usually let on. Still, it was nice of him to say.]

Thanks.

[She had talked to the guy enough to know he was trustworthy, and probably knew his way around a bar for the most part. Apparently his kind was pretty big on that sort of thing.]

Come to think of it, I could definitely use another bartender. It's been a little rough with just Me and Castle, especially since everyone's been so fucking depressed lately. [She chuckles.] You've seen how busy it's been. It's a damn good thing I don't need to sleep.

[fuckelves]

[Thorin blinks for a moment.]

A-ahhh it'd be my pleasure to help! Though I confess my experience is on the consumer side of the bar, not the distributor - still, if you ask it of me, I will do my best!

[If nothing else he can throw out drunks and deadbeats with relative ease.]

[Meg wasn't too worried about it. Bartending wasn't exactly rocket science, and she could easily teach him on their down time. Having someone else around in general wouldn't be a bad thing, the trick was getting someone she could actually stand let alone trust. He'd probably make a good bouncer, at least.]

If you want, I can teach you the basics. People don't usually order the frilly stuff here, anyway. Besides, you're a decent guy. You know Castle? He's the other bartender that's left.

[fuckelves]

That'd be excellent, thank you!

[Besides, if someone did order something frilly from Thorin, he'd likely just pour them a flagon of ale and be done with it. Dwarves don't do 'frilly' drinks.]

I've not met this 'Castle' yet...but I am am glad you have such confidence in me!

[putuporshutup]

Don't sweat it. You'll be a big help. And if you're not, I'll fire you and you can go back to the other side of the bar.

[She chuckles. Kidding. Kind of.]

He's a good guy. Writes books. Brews his own beer. I think you two will get along just fine.

[fuckelves]

Brews his own...

[Thorin moves to grab her hand and drag her behind him.]

You're taking me to meet this man 'Castle' at once.

[putuporshutup]

[That gets a laugh.]

Relax. He's working a shift in a bit, pretty sure you'll meet him soon enough.

[fuckelves]

I am indeed most anxious! And you have my thanks for the opportunity. I promise you will find me most useful!

[putuporshutup]

Yeah, he's a good guy. And really, thank you.
