BARTENDING

[i_love_kettch]

Wes makes it all the way to the Bar before he realises this is not, in fact, the tapcaf frequented by his fellow Rogues.

It's been a while since he was in Milliways, but he's thrilled. He beams up at the rafters, then sideways at the Observation Window, and finally down at Bar.

"Whiskey. All of-- okay, no, 'Nyri would kill me if I died of liver

"Does Firewhiskey count?"

[i_love_kettch]

Wes has seen that around the bar during his time here, and gives the girl a thumbs up. "Sure," he confirms, and pours a glass.

"Want a mixer? Cola's a good one, I think, but bonus points if you can drink it straight."

(Wait, is she old enough? Eh, too late now, and who cares anyway.)

[missginnytonic]

Ginny smiles. "I would never think of mixing it. Straight up is the only way. Have you tried it?"

[i_love_kettch]

"Afraid not," Wes admits with an apologetic smile. "It's from another world, I think.

"Would you recommend it?"

...yeah, he'll drink on-duty, tonight. It's a celebration, after all.

[missginnytonic]

"I would recommend it. It's from my world."

She smiles and grins. "Would you like to try it?"

She doesn't care if he drinks on duty. It's not like a little impaired means he'll hurt himself.

"You're a new papa?"

[i_love_kettch]

To be fair, Wes often hurts himself while sober. Being a bit tipsy can only improve matters.

"Why not?" he says with a grin, and pours himself a shot from the bottle he hasn't yet put away. He holds it up for a cheers! gesture.

Then answers, "Yeah. Yeah ... I guess I am."

[missginnytonic]

Ginny holds her glass up and taps it to his. "Congratulations!"

She then takes the shot and then shakes off the burn a bit.

[i_love_kettch]

Oh kriff that is some burny whiskey.

Wes manages not to cough, though he does wipe his mouth before setting down his shot glass.

"--thanks." A grin. And it's a bit dorky. "His name's Cal."

[missginnytonic]

Ginny smiles he did good for a muggle.

"That is great. Do you have pictures?"

She finds this is something all parents have.

[i_love_kettch]

--aw Sithspit! Wes has failed his first fatherhood test.

"No, I--" He shrugs, helplessly. "'s only been a day. 'Nyri won't let go of him, and she won't let me take a holo of her 'til they let her shower."

[missginnytonic]

"Oh, well that is understandable not wanting to have your picture taken right after. I'm sure you will get plenty."

[i_love_kettch]

"Yeah--"

...now Wes is recalling the sheer horror of the birthing process. Oh ... oh gods ... so much grosser than the high school holovids promised. He takes a second to shake his head and get over it.

"Well, I'll be around for a long time-- so yeah. Maybe he'll even have hair soon."

[missginnytonic]

"I think you will have plenty of chances later. I wouldn't worry about it too much."
