At least Black Pike's installed showers for them, which is something that didn't happen at his first mining job out of high school. Back then he'd go home and scrub down out back before he'd be let inside the house. Now, though, he finishes a thirteen-hour shift, scrubs down, and he's a free man until his next shift. He's off for the next four days, and the amount of time stretching in front of him is a prospect he doesn't find too enticing.
Boyd's looking squeaky clean at the bar with his whiskey. He's wearing horn-rimmed glasses tonight (cheap ones). He's made it through his first week down, and he wants a drink.
There's something to be said for drinking around strangers. The prospect of not having to endure stares or whispers about the Crowder clan -- how the mighty have fallen -- entices under such circumstances, and as such, Boyd's mood is bright enough, though he's bone-tired.
