The Watering Bowl Bar
RPed out by Knosis & KittyWolfSpirit
Knosis:
The sun was just setting, giving everything a lovely orange and red tint. The sun’s reflection bounced off the windows, giving the street a someone colorful view as well. And Sebastion knew this was the time of day the night crowd would slowly climb out of bed and begin their normal partying once again.
He wouldn’t have been out this early himself, had it not been for the tasks he’d been given by the boss. Luckily for him, they were done relatively early(and he slacked off the rest). So now it was time for a mostly hard earned drink to wet his whistle.
And the least likely place he’d run into Rowan or Gabrielle would be The Watering Bowl.
Sure the place was simple, but the booze weren’t lacking and hell… The cook was actually halfway decent. Sebastion never understood why no one cared for this place. He walked in and waved at the bartender, who rolled her eyes at him. “Mornin’ Steph--”
“I swear to god, Sebastion, if you’re here and not paying your tab again, I’m going to--”
“Cool it, darlin’. I got paid today.” He placed his pay card down. “Now why don’t you give me a glass of scotch, please.”
The woman rolled her eyes and sighed, rang up his tab AND the glass of scotch before pouring him his request. The white haired man turned his red hued gaze around the rest of the bar. “Tough crowd today. Where’s everyone?”
“Dunno. Don’t care.” The woman tossed the card at his face. Perhaps this would explain why everyone hated the joint.
“Well, it is a wee bit early. We’ll see if ole Eddy shows up. Meantime it's just you and me~” He said. The woman looked as though she’d rather stab herself in the eye with a spoon. She’d known Sebastion before he left town. He hadn’t changed a damned bit, but she was wiser and older now, and wouldn’t fall for his tricks again.

Ally wanted to be a little more discreet on her weapons now that she was where the city wolves prowled. With that in mind, she had elected a form fitting pair of black microfiber leggings, black cotton knee length skirt over the leggings and a black microfiber V-neck shirt with long sleeves that fit form fit to the elbow before it flared out a little. It was to keep her throwing knives on her outer thighs and her inner forearms hidden. Her only weapons visible being her 2 boot knives, 1 dagger in sheath and her long knife in sheath both on her hips. Her copper hair was worn half up half down today with a common rubber band. Her dusty rose lips were set to a serious expression as her jade eyes studied the area for a place to eat. Her stomach was talking rathe loudly about its disdain for her skipping lunch on the account of not being to the city yet and running out of food. She paused, seeing a bar called the Watering Bowl and smirked at the playful dog notation.
“This might be a good place to start I suppose.” She muttered to herself softly.
She walked into the bar pausing only briefly at the door to take in the one other occupant. She took note of him and the bartender. She walked past him and sat about 3 stools down and raised her hand politely to gesture the bartender over at her convenience.
Knosis:
The woman had taken to very clearly ignoring Sebastion as he rambled on about various things, occasionally keeping him happy by muttering the occasional ‘uh huh’. So it came to no surprise that when Ally entered the establishment, her attention immediately zeroed in on her. “Hi, welcome to the Watering Bowl! Nice day we’re having, right?” She forced a tight smile on her face, which to Sebastion would break her face.
She nearly glided over to the coppery haired female. “What can I get you?”
KittyWolfSpirit:
She looked over to the woman’s tight smile, most likely forced because customer service insisted a smile no matter how shitty you felt. She offered a brief smile and went to speak but her stomach let out an agitated grumble which made her give a timid smile to the bartender.
“I would like a menu.” She said softly to her.
She glanced briefly to the man and nodded a hello. She wasn’t sure who he is, but the lady seemed tense. It could be a million reasons why she had immediately snapped to her arrival, but he didn’t care. She just wanted food and a light drink. She would get intel after she ate.
Knosis:
Color rose to the bartender’s cheek. Yes, of course. A newcomer. Duh. She’d gotten so used to the same old crowd that knew exactly what they wanted before they even entered the place that new face threw her for a loop.
“Ah y-yes, right away.. Where did I put those… TOM!!” She shouted to the back and went around through the employee door to the right behind the bar.
Sebastion chuckled at the awkward sight. “That’s rare to see Stephanie shove her foot in her mouth. Congratulations.” He flashed a friendly smile.
“Shut up, Sebastion..” Stephanie glared icely at the white haired man before handing Ally a menu.
“Uhm.. I recommend the steak-burger. Tom’s pretty good at it. Pretzels with beer cheese is pretty awesome uh..” She peeked over the edge of the menu, obviously not looked over it in a while.
“Sorry, my specialty is the booze. I don’t really know the menu that well, eh heh..”
KittyWolfSpirit:
She looked full on to the man as he addressed her and congratulated her on practically making a fool of the bartender, something she had not intentionally done for one and two why congratulate such a feat. Ally smiled and nodded to the bartender.
“It isn’t that big of a deal. I’ll look it over.” She said softly, meaning what she had. She didn’t mind.
Sebastion is it. She thought to herself as she locked her jade on onto him. We will speak but not yet. She planned, flashing him a soft smile and a look of polite interest.
She listened to the bartender ramble and watched as she skimmed the menu. “Not necessary to apologize Miss. I appreciate the suggestions though. I really do. If I may, a moment with the menu in the meantime do you have a water, I am gonna start there until I find the drink I want if possible Miss.” Her voice was calm, collected and polite toward the woman, her peripherals though were locked onto Sabastion.
Knosis:
The woman nodded and swiftly placed a clean class in front of Ally and poor some water out of a pitcher that she procured from behind the bar somewhere. It was cool enough at least. “Just give me a shout when you’re ready hunny.” She gave another tight smile before escaping to the back room.
Sebastion had also been studying the woman, taking a sip from his glass.
“You’re a refreshing face in these parts at least. New to Lutetia? Or just Audrieu?”
The one thing Rowan loved to hate about Sebastion, was his ability to read people.
KittyWolfSpirit:
She now gave him her full attention for a brief moment. Then looked the menu over.
“I’ll have a long island iced tea, sweeten the tea and extra lemon please. Then for food, I’ll give that steak burger a try, medium well on the burger please.” She instructs like she has given this order about a million times.
In fact, that was her normal order. On nights when shit got bad…she went straight to rainbow shots or if even harder she went to rum and cherry Pepsi. She set the menu down, offering the menu to Stephanie. She then returned her attention to Sebastion.
“A lil of both I suppose. Definitely, new to Audrieu.”
She offers him a soft smile.
