TOP TO BOTTOM
Snoddy: *sitting at the bar, nursing a drink with a certain measure of octane*
Half Pint: *Barges through the front door, tripping over his laces in the process* *looks around* Snoddy! *rushes over to him, and practically tackles him from the side*
Snoddy: *nearly knocks over his drink as he's plowed into, forces a laugh* Hey there, kiddo, whatchu doin' here?
Half Pint: *Shoots him a toothy grin, arms still wrapped tight around him* Looking for Styx or Bridgette. *Girls weren't seeming so bad any more. at least not her.* Glad I found you though! *Crawls up into a chair next to his friend*
Snoddy: Me too. Haven't seen much of you lately. You owe me money or somethin'? *is kidding, hasn't been making the trip out to Queens as often as he used to*
Half Pint: *Shakes head, Snoddy's hat falling over his eyes* Nooooo. *Pushes Snoddy's hat up away from his eyes*
Half Pint: *Smiles, wondering if he'll notice who's hat it is on his head* Not money..
Snoddy: *takes his hat from HP, dusts it off, plumps it up and replaces it on HP's curls, a little cockeyed* Y'know, I seem to remember havin' a hat that looked a lot like that one... Didn't look half as good on me, though.
Half Pint: *Grins proudly, at the compliment* That's cause it is yours... *Laughs*
Snoddy: *plays along* Mine?! *takes it, puts it on, appraises himself in the mirror behind the bar* Hm... nope. Still looks better on you. *replaces it on HP's head, letting it fall over his eyes* Ah... I know I haven't been comin' to see you so much lately. I got busy with... things. You gonna hold it against me?
Half Pint: *Quirks up corner of mouth and places index finger to chin, thinking* Hmm....*Looks up at him and chuckles* I guess not. *Grins*
Half Pint: Guess what, Snoddy?!?! *Bouncing up and down in his seat in excitement* I grew a whole Inch!
Snoddy: A whole inch, huh? That... I think that calls for something special. *signals a nearby barmaid for a half-glass of beer*
Snoddy: *is obviously still feeling a little guilty over not paying HP much attention lately*
Half Pint: *Looks at the glass of beer, wide-eyed, then up at Snoddy smiling*Wow! *Picks glass up and takes a big gulp* *Scrunches nose up at the weird tastes, but continues to drink it* *Only the bigger guys like Snoddy and Styx drink beer*
Half Pint: Thanks Snoddy. *Not sure if that's something he wants to try again or not*
Snoddy: Take it slow, little man. That's the only one you're getting for a while. *feels guilty, but not *that* guilty* So how's Styx doing at keeping Queens in line?
Half Pint: *Slows down drinking the beer* Oh, he's great! He's real good at being in charge! *Of course being good friends with the leader of Queens has helped his popularity with his friends in all the boroughs too* *takes another sip of his beer*
Snoddy: And you're helpin' him out, right?
Half Pint: Yup. *Smiles proudly*
Snoddy: Attaboy. *looks down at his hardly touched whisky, sighs* Maybe someday Styx'll make you leader when he's ready to move on...
Half Pint: You really think so Snoddy? *Gets a dreamy look.*
Half Pint: *Finishes beer and hops down from stool* Snoddy, can we go fishing, maybe? *He's a kid. he jumps to random topics*
Snoddy: Yup. *takes a sip, smacks his lips* I do. You could be a good leader, learnin' from Styx.
Snoddy: You been practicing the way I taught you, catchin' 'em with your hands?
Half Pint: Yeah. I'm probably better then you now. *Shoots snoddy a cheeky grin*
Snoddy: *eyes his drink, considers downing it, but leaves it on the counter instead and hops off the stool* Hey. No one is better at drongo fishing than Clement King. *gives HP a gentle, playful shove toward the door*
Half Pint: *Races out the door*
Snoddy: *follows him, leaving coins on the counter*
