Early Evening At the Cat's Tail

Postby Nathaniel Davis » Tue Jan 10, 2012 8:39 am

Business always seemed to pick up before one of the shows and tonight was no exception. Nate was tending the bar, wiping down glasses with, shockingly enough, clean rags. The establishment was definitely not seedy and everything seemed to be in good repair even down to the curtains on the small stage at one end of the main room.

Sara was there, sitting at the bar. She's reasonably clean and well dressed though she still opted for pants over a dress. Needlessly fluffy things.

"Come for the show, the booze, or both?" Nate asked as he finally made his way to where she was sitting.

Nate got her a beer and went back to cleaning glasses. "I don't see you in town much."

"Usually just drop by to get some supplies and arrange pick-ups. No time to stop for a drink." she shrugs.

"Seems like there's plenty out there to find," he said, eyeing the glass he was cleaning and putting it away.

"Always do," he said. "It's a shame you took to mining. You could probably do a fair turn on stage yourself."
