โ € โ € โ €โ € ๐’†œ.โ € โ Settle down. Save your attitude for when you get inside. โž His command made light with an airy laugh, the bartender set her down onto her feet once inside the Hostelry.

"... last one invited? What the hell are you going on about?" Well, she's not kicking or flailing about at least, even if her arms are folding and she's pouting. "... Also, I don't need a pity invite if that's what happened -"

โ € โ € โ €โ € ๐’†œ.โ € โ You're the last one we invited. Figured you'd be here moping around. โž She has no choice but to accompany him to the Hostelry. The Hostelry, which even from the outside, seems to have quite a commotion going on behind its doors. โ €

Immediately SQUEALING-? "G-gallagher-! What the hell-?!" Even if startled... at least it got her out of her depressed little funk for now.

โ € โ € โ €โ € ๐’†œ.โ € Being a bartender required more than knowledge of drinks and a halfway decent customer service face. Alcohol was a drug of intimacy, unshackling inhibitions and bringing truths of a personality to light. Emotions felt fragile when inebriated. It was partially the job of a good โ‡ฅ โ €

His eyes drifted closed as a little smile crept across his face, just the slightest bit smug with her prickly response. โ Not a problem . . . โž He'd let her decide when to let go. โ €

A small delivery to @xiiimorscerta.bsky.social , since Pi Day is tomorrow... also to compensate for a lack of a lack of a Valentine's gift last month. A sugar vanilla cream pie. She simply refuses to elaborate and leaves, but there is a note that says "Happy Pu Day. Incase you are busy tomorrow."

โ € โ € โ €โ € ๐’†œ.โ € โ It isn't, but it makes the praise better. โž Into his warmth she stepped, his muscular arms folded around her tiny body as he pressed her into his soft chest. A large palm patted at her back. โ You're doing a good job. I'm proud of how far you've come. โž

"... A hug isn't praise, you fool-" Even so... she glances between his face and his outstretched arms before slowly stepping forward and meekly wrapping her arms around his body.

Yanking @xiiimorscerta.bsky.social down by his tie so they're at eye level. "I expect it from you, especially." There's just that typical pout and glare of hers as she demands this, too.

It's only natural she takes a step back, her cheeks heated as she folds her arms. "A-as if..! It's just- With the previous mention of things and all it's better to make sure we're on the same page, is all-"

"Wh- ... Not necessarily, but... I suppose it depends on the type of dinner-" She doesn't want to accidentally get cannibalized given the context, after all.
