After lunch, I went to see if I had made it into fencing. I look at the list looking for my name, which I do find. I didn't care if I made it but I was excited anyway. I liked fencing, It makes me think of when Achilles taught me how to play. He got a scholarship for fencing and met Patroclus in college. They were dating for a while before I was born. They separated when Achilles left to help my father raise me. I looked at the bottom of the paper and in bold, large text it said when practices were. Tuesdays- Fridays 4-5 am.
**The Lounge**
Today was a quiet shift. Some of the bakers came out from the kitchen to talk to me at the bar. Dusa one of the servers also joined. She never talked to me unless we were in a group. Normally she will quietly hum to herself as she cleans.
"Zag have you made any new drinks lately?" Baker girl 1 said leaning on the counter I just cleaned.
"Ooo we would love to try a Zag specialty~" Baker girl 2 smiled.
"I have not, and you probably shouldn't be drinking on the job either," I put down a class I was cleaning. They looked disappointed in my response. These two bakers would always come out to talk to me whenever they could, and the third one just tags along sometimes.
"Zag sure is a lady magnet," One of the male bakers says walking out of the kitchen. Some of the girls giggle and a few turn red, especially Dusa. Bell at the door rang as it opened. Dusa runs back to work while the others wave bye to me and disappear into the kitchen.
"Welcome, what can I get you for today," I say in my customer service voice. Thanatos sits at the bar. and looks at the menu behind me.
"I'll have a bartender surprise," At his request, knowing exactly what I was going to make him and get started on making it.
"Hope you like this drink I call it Nector," I hand the drink to him. It was a little awkward I didn't know what to talk about or even if I should make conversation.
"Thanks," He takes a drink, "This is really good, it's nice and sweet."
I smile, it made me so happy that he likes it. He always liked sweeter things which some would find surprising.
"Just don't tell anyone about it, it's a special drink," I tell him in a hushed voice with a finger at my mouth.
