After an appropriately maternal wink at her son the bartender, Sallie sets up shop with her music for her House of Arch classes and a cup of steaming peppermint hot chocolate.

It's getting on to time for a second annual Milliways Piano Recital, anyhow. Lady's got to make plans.

[ooc: If a piano recital in bar seems interesting to your pup, please

Peppermint hot chocolate.

Mmmm.

Is it bad that Roger wandered over purely because of the smell?

[realmrsreynolds]

Not at all.

"Hello, sir," Sallie offers with a smile. "Ain't seen you about - you new?"

[roger_ratcliff]

Roger smiles back, bowing slightly.

"Yes, I just arrived a few days ago."

He offers her a hand.

"Roger Ratcliff. Pleased to meet you."

[realmrsreynolds]

"Sallie Reynolds; likewise. Care to take a seat?" Sallie motions across the table from her, all the while shuffling her papers, "Sorry -- I was working on some things for this class I teach..."

There's got to be something that goes together better than coffee and a cigarette, but what it may be Jack's got no damn idea: just like there ain't much better that goes together than a Sunday night off and finding Sallie in the bar that he ain't been frequenting so much...recently.

Besides, it ain't like he don't have an appreciation for music, right? So he comes on by, lit cigarette precarious, propped between two knuckles of the hand holding his coffee so the other's free to drop on Sallie's shoulder and so he's free to bend down and smack an impudent little kiss on her cheek. "Hey, boss."

[realmrsreynolds]

Impudent indeed, and Sallie harrumphs at him before she waves him over to a seat opposite her.

"What have you been gettin' into, mister Twist? Gettin' on with Kate and Piotr at all?"

[jack_f_twist]

Her gruffness gets a laugh and another kiss before he avoids her waving hand to sit down, all relaxed jeans and loose limbs.

He sips at his coffee. It's too hot and he swears in annoyance before raising eyebrows at her over his cup edge. "Yeah, gettin' on fine. Nice folk, knew Kate a bit before anyhow."

Blowing on the coffee to cool it down, he takes a look about. "What's goin' on here?"

[realmrsreynolds]

"Not much -- organizing music to see if we can't pull off a second recital this year for the holidays."

You haven't told him yet, have you?

"Uhm...Jack?" Sallie pauses. "I got somethin' I need to run by you."

There's a genetically engineered super soldier watching her. We're not sure if it's her or the scent. After all, he has feline DNA and as a soldier... one of Manticore's broken boys peppermint is something that he likes.

A lot.

[realmrsreynolds]

Sallie's in an amiable mood, and sees Ben out of the corner of her eye.

"Might as well come over here and introduce yourself; I won't bite."

[x5_493_ben]

Normally he wouldn't be found in the Bar. He'd be outside of it. The scents within always tended to get to him. No matter what he did. But he cautiously goes over to the older woman.

"Everything bites."

It's his logic to things. Sort of.

[realmrsreynolds]

"If you say so."

Sallie's also succinct like that, if Ben feels like assuming an old lady's going to bite him.
