Hey, it's me. I'm kinda running low on plot ideas, so if you have any, I'd be glad to hear them. Toni's POV. Enjoy.
I arrived in the Wrym at about 6:00, ready for my shift. Kangs wasn't really annoying me, I just told that to Cheryl.
Truthfully, I didn't want her to know I worked in a bar. She already thinks Serpents are bad news (although that opinion may have changed) and I didn't want to make it worse.
In the bar, I saw an older Serpent named Gunner drunk and acting like a little bitch, while harrasing a girl, about my age.
I see where we get our reputation from.
I whacked Gunner and called Malcolm, my boss, over to escort him out.
Every day I had to deal with assholes like that, and was getting good at defending myself. And defending others.
I turned to the girl I had just rescued and asked if she was okay. She replied to the affirmative, but seemed very shaken up.
"Is it usually like that here?" She asked, with a weak smile. Should I tell her the truth?
"Yeah, but you learn to deal with it over time. There are just a few bad eggs, like Gunner, who ruin it for the bunch." I replied.
"He really does seem like a bad egg to me." She commented, making me laugh.
"Likening a great oaf to an egg, yet I still don't know your name?"
I really was curious, I thought she would be a good friend to have. Just friend though, I was devoted to Cheryl.
"Scarlett. Scarlett Allerton. And you are?"
"Toni Topaz, Serpent by blood and employee here."
"Well thank you Toni, you really saved my ass out there."
"It's not a problem, but I really should get to work, I'll see you around?"
"Yeah, that would be great. Actually, as thanks, want to get coffee, maybe Tuesday?"
"Alright, I'd be up for that, see you around."
"Till Tuesday."
Till Tuesday.
Perhaps there was a little foreshadowing there, we'll see. Hope that was good.
Bye then.
