He ordered himself a fresh one and let the 'tender - a guy he'd known casually for many years - know to just put whatever she asked for on his tab. "Bet that's the longest you've gone without a drink since before you started." He teased lightly - not that she'd ever had a problem with alcohol, but they'd all always gone hard from that first day as young teens that they'd started. His shoulders slumped a little and a sheepish, half-hearted smirk touched his lips and he shook his head. "Maybe just a little... My bad, but whatever." He was so easy to read, especially for her, but really anyone who knew him. He finished off his first drink and pushed the glass aside to be picked up, reached for his new drink for a sip, and then set it down. Both hands free, he reached out with one to curl his fingers around the edge of her stool so he could slowly tug her seat closer to his - too hard to hear her in there with her so far away.

"Diallo gave me a night off from kid duty." She explained even as she shifted to pull out her purse and get out a picture of Aiesha for him. "I was supposed to give this to Di to give to you and I forgot." It was the babies two month old picture, she was getting so big already, it amazed Malika to watch her and think about how tiny she had been when she was born. "How'd Siah's like his birthday party? Sorry I couldn't make it but I felt like shit." She'd been pretty sick the week of Josiah's first birthday and Diallo had gone by himself though he had taken the baby with him to let her rest. He was always sweet like that, looking out for her, she was blessed and she knew it so she didn't really understand why she reached out to run her hand down Kato's muscled arm absently.
