"Like I'd care if you were," he said, moving around behind the bar and tapping it. "Money first."

He took a deep swig.

"What's the scuttlebutt 'round here? Any new bounties I should know about?"

Nate still kept his eyes on Nick. "Nothing you'd care about, since none of it involves killin', drinkin', or whorin'."

"There's this thing we call takin' care of our own, but I'm sure a selfish bastard like you wouldn't know anything about that." There was something strange in the way he said 'our own'.

Nate frowned at the sudden change and sniffed the whiskey. "I think you've had enough. You'd better go sleep it off... somewhere else."

An impossibly tall woman walked ducked out of one of the back doorways. She was wearing an ankle length skirt, but an off-the-shoulder bodice. "Yes, Mr. Davis." She moved over to Nick, "Come on, Nickie. Time to get you home."

"Yes please." she just says, expecting water. Or maybe milk if they are that hospitable here.

Nate looked like he was about to pour some more whiskey, but stopped when he heard Sam's comment.

Nate peered at her for a minute and then said in her native language with only a reasonable accent, "<Are you wanting this or were you wanting water?>" He raised the bottle of whiskey.

"<No good word for it. Fire water is as close as it gets.>" Nate picked up a glass pitcher from the back bar and poured a glass of water for her. "And what for you, miss?" He directed at Sam, switching back to English.
