Happy Hour

[srsdrinker]

The problem (though Athos does not really see it as a problem, per se) with being in a bar at the end of the universe, is that the ample range of products available can sometimes be a bit pricey. This has resulted in this Musketeer's tab being quite high

Demeter leans across the Bar and kisses him,

"Hello Athos."

[srsdrinker]

He smiles, returns the kiss, and then reaches for a fresh glass and that bottle to pour her one.

"Demeter, I was hoping you'd find your way here this evening."

"I've been here a lot of late. Are you well?"

[srsdrinker]

"I am," he replies. "And yourself?"

Ellen managed to get one of her Vault jumpsuits out of the bottom of her backpack, so she's no longer in armor when she approaches the Bar. Just blue-and-gold denim-ish fabric, with a rifle butt poking up from behind one shoulder and a Chinese straight sword on one hip. She looks thoughtfully at the specials board. "I don't remember ever having either of those," she says.

"Never had brandy or wine at all?"

Travesty! (But for the young lady's sake, at least Athos isn't recoiling in horror at the thought of being her age and never having had wine before.) This is an opportunity for education.

"Brandy is a stronger drink than wine," he offers. Not sure if she knows what they even are.

"I don't think we had any where I grew up," Ellen says. "Whiskey and vodka, yes, and beer, although the beer was all awful.... hm." She glances over her shoulder at the door. "I've had an unsettling day. Would you recommend one over the other to help with that?"

[srsdrinker]

"Brandy is comparable to a whiskey," he says. "What was it about the beer you didn't like? Wine is made from crushed grapes. You cask the juice and then age it for awhile to allow it to ferment into alcohol."

He's pouring her a glass from the bottle he poured his from earlier.
