The front door opens, and a conversation drifts inside.

"Some more tuna?"

"No, no thank you."

"How about salmon? I've got plenty of that."

"Mmm, no, that is alright."

"I think Manning might have some caviar somewhere. I can turn his office upside down if you'd like some of that."

"No thank you, amigo, I am completely stuffed."

"Oh. Okay."

"But... I could use a drink."

"Yeah? Well, let's go then."

Enter two patrons; one, a big tall red guy (sans-trenchcoat for once), and sitting on his shoulder, an orange cat in boots, hat and cape.

The pair head straight for the bar. Red takes a seat at the counter, and Puss gives a cheerful greeting to Bar, happy that she made it through the chaos okay.

"Beer."

"Leche, por favor."


[ooc: Well, I reckon it had to happen. Two pups, one mun, tag one or both.]

"How to duck and you wouldn't want to fight her. She's dangerous and kind of like a tiger,"

Sometimes she even is a tiger which is frightening without warning.

[cat_wth_panache]

Puss stops laughing, his interest piqued.

"Like a tiger, you say. Tell me, is she... slinky?"

[not_his_pa]

"Slinky? What's that mean?"

[cat_wth_panache]

"How tiger-like is she? Fine features? Feline grace? Sleek fur?"

To help Puss get his point across, Red raises his hands and outlines an hourglass figure in the air, giving a suggestive, two blow whistle with a question mark on the end.

[not_his_pa]

William blushes as he doesn't want to think about Katya that way, "Not that much, the mermaid in the lake's like that. She's got all sorts of slink and knows how to use it. Katya's bouncier and likes shiny stuff and vodka and pelmeni,"

She's more like an older sister and he is not going to think about her that way.

[cat_wth_panache]

Puss strokes his chin, then removes his hat and pulls a small pad of paper and pencil from it.

Setting the hat back on, he starts to write.

"Shiny stuff... vodka... "

Red glances over.

"And pelmeni, it's like Russian ravioli."

[not_his_pa]

"Delicious stuff, fills you up almost as good as chili,"

When Puss starts writing, William takes a drink as he's not going to ask. Though he might try and be around for when Puss talks to Katya if she'd just get back.

Puss finishes his note taking and puts the pad away.

With that taken care of, Red returns to the previous subject.

"So, Willy, how about them fighting lessons?"

[not_his_pa]

"You'd be willin' to give 'em?"

The nickname's not one of his favorites but Red clearly knows about fighting.

[bprd_agent_red]

"Of course. If you want to beat the best, you've got to learn from the best."

Which is obviously Red.

And his feline companion.

[not_his_pa]

"Thank you. I don't have much I can give in exchange 'less you want to learn ridin' and ropin',"

He's not sure why they would, Red fights monsters and Puss reminds him of his last Halloween costume.

[bprd_agent_red]

Red immediately sits up straighter.

"Really?"

Red would so love to do that.

[not_his_pa]

"Yeah, if you want to learn. Don't know how good I'll be at teachin' but I'll try. We got the horses here and I could rig somethin' up in the paddock,"

He smiles as it's better if it's a trade.

[bprd_agent_red]

"It sounds like a good trade to me," Puss comments. He already knows how to ride, of course, but Red looks eager.

Red is eager, and sticks out his big right hand to shake on it.

"You've got a deal."

[not_his_pa]

William grins as he shakes Red's hand, "Thank you."

[cat_wth_panache]

"Thank you," Red returns.

"An' now, let us drink to celebrate!" Puss declares, standing up on Red's shoulder, and raising his glass into the air.
