It's late one night when Veronica comes into the bar, angling on Millitime to gain her a few precious hours of sleep. She stops by Bar purely on a whim, looking for one last mug of decaf, and is surprised when her drink is matched with a crumpled bit of something and an adjoining note from bar that asks, For you(?)

Upon uncrumpling the something

Mills gets her note, and glares at the surface of the bar. "I know I threw that away."

There is, of course, no response.

He takes out his notepad and attempts to write a proper note.
V~. Sorry, was a stupid idea in the first place. Sorry to bother you. ~M.
He leaves bar with the note and a stern warning. "Just this, nothing more, all right?"

The next day Veronica checks with Bar intentionally, and feels a faint sort of flutter as she finds a reply.

"He was grumpy about it, wasn't he?" Bar responds in the affirmative, and Veronica grins.

M -
Not a bother. Just unexpected.

Mills finds himself back in the bar the next day, purely by coincidence.

The note makes him smirk and shake his head. He crumples the note and puts it in his pocket. He's about to leave when Bar manifest a piece of notepaper and a pen.

He cocks an eyebrow at them and at the bar. "Thanks, I think."

He stares at the page for a long time.V.
For what it's worth, I do miss seeing you miss your you've been in my it was unexpected for me too. I think Bar is trying to play matchmaker. Maybe you can explain it to her better than I can? ~M.
He folds the note in such a fashion that it can't easily be unfolded without it being obvious.

Veronica writes her response when she stops by a few hours later. There is a concentrated effort to slow down enough to keep her spiky handwriting legible, and it likely shows.

She's psychically linked to the head bartender, read: Mike, read: goofball. Probably thought it would be funny. What am I explaining?
