The Dive Bar

It's small and cramped, the tables are never big enough and the light is poor. There's a terrible jukebox in the corner, the bathroom is covered in graffiti, the vinyl of the seats is cracked. But at least the drinks are cheap and the bartender pours heavy.

Real classy place you picked, Boss. Guess they can't all the be the Ultra Luxe.

[The old handyman says, only the faintest of smirks on his scarred lips.

He motions to the barkeep and mutters his request for a shot of straight tequila, before he turns back to the Courier.]

Thank god for that, though, am I right?

[quixotically]

[Elle smiles back.] Wait... So you're saying you don't like the Ultra Luxe? I guess I'll take Dean instead, next time I go to the Gourmand. [As if she ever goes there. But, now that she says it... Even if she was just joking, she's sure Dean would like that. She stows the idea away to consider in full later.

In contrast to Raul, she isn't ordering anything alcoholic. She just asks for a Nuka -- ice-cold, if they have it, but she doesn't really have her hopes up. Ever since that incident at the Gomorrah, she needs to really... not.]

Boss, folks like that looked at me like I was dirt even before I got my face all prettied up like this.

[He actually smiles a little when he hears her order the soda. It's probably for the best, honestly, that girl can not keep up with her companions in the liquor department.

As for him... Well, he doesn't really get drunk anymore. Not like he used to, at least. Ghouls have to imbibe in a lot to feel much of an effect, and that goes double for old ghouls like him. He's pretty sure he heard somebody say it had to do with how thick their blood was or something, but they might've been making that up.]

The only thing that's changed about that in two hundred years is their diet.

[quixotically]

[Elle moves to nudge her shoulder against his, in support, in solidarity, even as she tries not to get too worked up at the thought. Raul is wonderful, he doesn't deserve any kind of treatment like that -- and has never deserved it. Her protectiveness is starting to flare up, and she needs to not let herself get... carried away.]

Well, they don't know what they're missing out on. [Still, she can't entirely help herself from commenting on it. You're Great, Raul, I Don't Care What Anyone Else Says. Come on, Elle, keep it light, keep it light...] I don't know how they can live without getting to hear all your jokes and stories. [Nailed it??? Maybe??]

[creakyknees]

[Lmao Elle he doesn't give half a shit what those uppercrust twits think about him - if he wanted to spend time with a bunch of dumbass cannibals with nothing worth saying, he'd hang out with a pack of ferals. The point was more that he didn't want to go drinking at a place full of people looking down their noses at him.

The defensiveness would be appreciated, though, if Raul knew what was going on inside Elle's head. Let's be real, though, he's actually pretty glad he isn't able to.]

Yeah, boss. Their lives are undoubtedly bereft without me there to tell'em about how my knees ache all the time.

[He says it with a smirk. He's joking, lighten up, kid.]
