Two friends at the bar

Date: May 19th, early evening
Location: The bar
Status: Private (Rose, Raphael, Joe)
Summary: Rose needs to talk to Raphael

Rose led Raphael downstairs and into the bar, where she picked a table in a nice little corner. From there she'd see and hear anyone who might be approaching. She really didn't want to be overheard when she told her friend about meeting Belial this morning.

Satisfied with the chosen table she waited for Raphael to sit down and then remembered that they should probably order something to drink as they were at the bar. She turned around to see if Joe was behind the bar as she had only concentrated on finding a suitable table upon entering.

"Of course," he assured her.

As the hours passed, Raphael listened tirelessly and honestly enjoyed her company. He smiled gently at her. "Perhaps when my brothers let me return to my own room you can come by. I still have the brush you like." He smiled as he set aside his empty cup and began fishing in his pocket for the money and a generous tip to include.

Rose really enjoyed being with Raphael. She would have enjoyed it even more to curl up with him on his bed and just sleep, but he was still staying in Michael's room so that was out of the question.

When she saw him fishing in his pocket she put one hand over his and slightly shook her head.

"I asked you to come down here, so I'm paying."

She didn't have that much money and she was saving as much of it as possible for her ticket back to Canada, but it had been her who'd needed to talk to Raphael right now, so she was the reason he even was at the bar now and she would pay for what they drank. It wouldn't be fair to her friend to let him pay.

Raphy's out after this <3

Raphael knew that arguing would not be a good idea. So he slipped his wallet back in his pocket and moved to give her one last snuggly hug. "You come by anytime, my friend. I am here for you, always."

He realized he didn't want to go, but his brother would start worrying. He smiled at her one more time before leaving.

Rose smiled at Raphael and returned the hug and then watched him leave. She really hoped his brothers would stop watching him so closely soon. He seemed so much better already, at least to her.

Then she signaled to Joe that she wanted to pay, took her wallet out of her jeans pocket and waited.

Joe came over to the table when he saw Rose get ready to pay.

"Are you going to pay for his hot chocolate?" he wanted to know.

Rose smiled at Joe.

"Yes, I invited him here so I'm going to pay. What do I owe you?"

Joe gave her the price for the hot chocolate.

"The water's free for you," he said.

"Thank you."

Rose handed Joe the price plus what she'd been taught was a polite tip - not extremely much, but enough to most certainly not be impolite - , still smiling.

She drained the last bit of water from the glass and then got up. She intended to go for a short walk on the manor grounds before going to bed, so she wished Joe a nice evening and left.
