Zaun, the home of the resilient, a haven for those willing to rise from the ashes and move forward, and a land that is no stranger to change
"Could you pass me that glass, Darling?" Vander asks in a caring tone while placing a mug below the counter
"Mhm." Ren replies while fetching the dirty glass. She slides it over to the burly man
"Thank you." He expresses with a warm smile, earning one out of the little redhead. He begins cleaning the glass when a switch of tunes is initiated
I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day
Both the retired Hound of the Underground and the Sheriff's daughter turn their heads to find a man wearing an expensive suit leaning on the jukebox
When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May
He rhythmically taps the contraption with his hand, synchronizing with the tempo of the song
Vander grows a soft smirk while Ren gains a beaming smile, her eyebrows rising while her pupils dilate
I guess you'd say
"y/n!" Ren exclaims with glee as she runs to her uncle, who gets on one knee and opens his arms wide
Ren jumps into his arms as he embraces her with a chuckle. "How's my little Pumpkin?"
What can make me feel this way?
Ren giggles and pulls back. "Just helping Grandpa around the bar." She says, earning a smirk from y/n
"Oh, yeah?" He rises to his feet and carries her with one arm while approaching the counter
My girl, my girl, my girl
A few of the usual customers greet y/n, earning a nod from him
He eventually makes it to Vander and sets Ren down on a nearby stool. "How's it going, Old Timer?" He asks while resting his arms on the counter, leaning his body weight forward a bit
Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl
"Just the usual." He replies while wiping the glass clean. He sets it aside and grabs a large bottle of alcohol. "Want a drink?" He asks while pulling out two cups
[Song Name: My Girl - The Temptations]
y/n's smirk grows as he raises his hand. "I'm fine." He responds as the song blends with the background noise
"Good." Vander says before hiding away the alcohol and filling both glasses with juice. "Glad you're still sticking to it"
y/n raises his brows and hands Ren a glass before taking his own. "Glad to see you're still practicing child labor." He playfully says while taking a sip of the juice, keeping eye contact with Vander, who chuckles in response
"Guess your jokes are one thing we can never get rid of, eh?" He expresses with a soft smile, earning a wink from Zaun's prince
y/n emits a muffled laugh when setting the glass down, folding his arms into each other. "Don't act like you don't love 'em"
