8. I do hope this is okay with you?

[westerned]

[[Rufus gives a pleasant wave to the man in front of him.]]

What's a nice-lookin' guy like you doin' in a place like this?

Sure!

[magerights]

What?

[At first Anders is a little confused, uncertain if the man is talking to him or not, then he's faintly suspicious.]

If you're trying to hire me, I'm afraid this isn't the sort of place for that; you want the young ladies standing around outside.

coolio :o

[westerned]

No, I uh-

[[Well, this is awkward, isn't it? The only thing worse than being hit on when you don't want it is being the one who's hitting on people.]]

I was wonderin' if'n you'd like ta go fer a bite ta eat.

[magerights]

Oh. Well...[This is awkward, and shows how unused to he is to people trying to simply ask him out for something to eat.]

I wouldn't say no, but maybe we should try and introduction where I don't come to the wrong conclusion? I'm Anders.

[westerned]

[[Rufus laughs a little, and nods.]]

Yeah, I s'pose we should. I'm Rufus. It's nice ta meet'cha.

[[He holds out his left hand to shake. Feel free to notice the missing right middle finger.]]

[magerights]

[Anders notices, but chooses not to comment immediately. It's clearly an old injury, and in places where there aren't any healers, accidents happen and people have to do what they can instead of having magic to aid them.]

So, Rufus, do you have a trade at all?

[westerned]

A... trade?

[[Rufus pauses for a moment.]]

Y'mean like a career?

[magerights]

A trade, work, that sort of thing. What do you do for a living?

[westerned]

All sorts'a things. Just mainly doin' various labour ta pay the bills, though.

[[Rufus hasn't had a stable "job" for a while. For at least a year, all he's been doing are odd jobs to pay the bills.]]

And what about yerself?
