• Yes, I'm a rock and roll cliché -- Ethan, 06:41:07 10/28/04 Thu
  • "Oh..." She was obviously a little flustered as she swallowed and bit the corner of her lip - a nervous habit whenever she was overwhelmed. "Well, uh, a wata' then would be just fine, if you have that 'round." She dug into her pocket to find her money, drawing out a few singles. (NT) -- Emily, 06:50:50 10/28/04 Thu

• "If you want a water, you gotta tell them to give you a water." He explained rather impatiently - they didn't make money off serving water and if she asked like that she wasn't going to get anything. Not that it really mattered to him - it was more like he got irritated by unappropriate behavior. Even in a place like this there were 'rules' and 'guidelines' that should be followed. And besides, atleast she wasn't one of those little ghetto-hoochies who seemed to be so in abundance.. (NT) -- Ethan, 06:56:26 10/28/04 Thu
  • "Well, pardon me, sir, but thats what I thought I was doin'. Just bein' nice about it." She huffed, turning on the stool where the 'tender just smiled and gave her the bottle, taking her money and leaving her alone. Her eyes went up the stage where a live band was playing some type of rock-ish music that night. Baby blues took on a wistful look as she cracked open her water, tilting towards her full pale lips to take a long drink. (NT) -- Emily, 06:58:21 10/28/04 Thu

• He rolled those icey eyes but slowly cocked a brow at that - surprised by her protest and a little impressed that she stood up for herself, even if she was wrong. "Well pardon me, miss, but 'nice' doesn't usually get you what you want around here." His tone was mocking - not exactly cruel, but definitely not just playfully teasing. (NT) -- Ethan, 07:01:56 10/28/04 Thu
  • She set her jaw at that, her eyes going back to him for a moment. "Well then I feel sorry for ya'll here, you must have a very unpleasant existance." She huffed, slipping off the stool and heading towards the ladies room. So far, she didn't like it in this town at all, how was she ever going to fit in in Nashville? It may be the country capitol of the world, but it was still a huge city and she couldn't even cut it here. (NT) -- Emily, 07:05:19 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• "It's called a real existence." He called after her and followed it with a low sigh and a small smirk - of course, he was hardly one to talk. He had never lived a normal life and truly had no right to be preaching, but it was just how he was and what he was about. A hand brushed slowly over his head as she slipped off though and he then finally turned his gaze back to the 'tender with a shrug.. (NT) -- Ethan, 07:14:06 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• She took a moment to look herself over in the mirror, sighing softly. She really was nothing special at all, she was never going to get anywhere in this world. A hand lifted to go through her hair before she just shrugged and stepped back out, pushing her way back to the bar to get another bottle of water to go. (NT) -- Emily, 07:40:52 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• He glanced up as she returned and, after sighing lightly, he waved over a 'tender and murmured for a water, then wordlessly pushed the bottle in her direction - recognizing with the growing crowds and her tentativeness there was no way she would get what she wanted any time soon. He wasn't completely uncaring, just hard to impress. (NT) -- Ethan, 07:48:43 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• She pursed her lips a little bit, her brow furrowed gently as she gazed around before she him gazing at her. A slight smile grazed her pretty face and she shifted a bit to glance at him. "So you live 'round here?" (NT) -- Emily, 08:12:11 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• "For now." He responded shortly - but then cleared his throat and spoke up again after a moment. "You?" Small talk was hardly his forte, but he could try atleast a little - it was either that or go back to sitting alone, though he was still thinking he might end up wishing he had vouched for the latter in a few moments. (NT) -- Ethan, 08:18:25 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• She laughed at that, shaking her head. "I jus' moved here from Hazard Kentucky, s'a lot different out here." Her eyes drifted on him for a moment before she cocked a brow. "People are a lot different." (NT) -- Emily, 08:28:48 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• "I'm not from here, so don't go thinking that everyone is like me." He informed her easily and finished off his drink, then pushed his empty glass up the bar for a refill before looking back to her. "So, Kentucky? Never been there." And he never really planned to go, but atleast had enough sense not to add that on. (NT) -- Ethan, 08:32:38 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• She eyed him briefly for a moment before she spoke again. "You know, humoring or condescending or whatever it is your doing, it makes you like kind of old and stressed out." (NT) -- Emily, 08:34:42 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• His brows raised and he cleared his throat in soft surprise - he was hardly used to being told anything less than positive about his looks. "I'm not doing anything." His voice lowered a little and bordered on a growl - more just that she had the confidence to stand up to him than because of her words. Though at the same time, it earned her a fraction of respect - not that he showed it. (NT) -- Ethan, 08:42:46 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• "Well." Her tone was disbelieving as she sized him up "It must just be your sparkling personality that gives you that effect then." She shifted to swivel on the stool, her eyes going out over the dancefloor curiously - her brow furrowed as she watched the girls and guys dance. The music she sang wasn't anything like this, in fact, so far she had just written one of her own songs.....NT) -- Emily, 08:47:58 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• "Must be." He agreed with a slight nod and a soft sigh, and raised his drink to his lips as he worked on a proper response to that one - despite priding himself on knowing how to act in social situations, he wasn't always the greatest conversationalist, which was becoming quite evident. "So why are you here?" (NT) -- Ethan, 08:54:15 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• She tore her attention away from the floor and the band back to him, raising a brow in question. "Here as in this club thing or here as in the town?" She brushed back her spiral curls, her eyes drifting over her water bottle absently. (NT) -- Emily, 09:00:21 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• "Um.. Both? Or either." He opted for the more open one, and then turned his gaze to the drink in his hands - actually trying not to look so bored. It wasn't her fault that he was completely miserable in this place and with everything that he had going on here. (NT) -- Ethan, 09:05:49 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• She shrugged a bit. "I just kind of wandered in here while I was out exploring..." She was a little hesitant to tell him why she had moved here, he seemed like the type who didn't believe in good breaks or even dreams and hopes. (NT) -- Emil;y, 09:17:22 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• "Wishing you had just wandered on by?" One eyelid dropped in a wink as he finally displayed a little bit of humor - weak as it was, atleast it was there. She really didn't exactly look comfortable, but he figured she hadn't spent much time in places like this, and he likely wasn't helping. (NT) -- Ethan, 09:26:45 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• She offered him a slight smile at that, shaking her head. "Well, the way I am lookin' at this is this way. If I am handling a conversation with you right now, I should be able to handle the rest of the world, right?" (NT) -- Emily, 09:35:46 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• He eyed her incredulously for a long moment before a laugh slipped out and he tipped his glass to her slightly. "Fair enough, fair enough. Don't know how close to the truth that is - but atleast a good start." (NT) -- Ethan, 09:40:49 10/28/04 Thu
