EP: Kate Barlow | Outside, Stables / Main Bar

[ikissdhimbck]

It's been a long time since Beaut's had the pleasure of startling the bar with her presence. The front door admits the five-foot cowgirl and her mount, obviously on their way someplace else, depositing them smack dab in the middle of the bar.

Beaut snorts.

"Oh, come now. S'good t'be back, ain't it?"

Kate wins an ear twitch for her trouble. With a chuckle, she sets about navigating the tables and chairs — and waitrats, we mustn't forget them. She'll get Beaut resettled out in the stables and check on the stock, and once she's done there she'll find a calendar. Once she knows the date and has stopped to look for messages in the stables, at the board, or with the Bar, she'll settle in for a while.

Then again, it's such a beautiful evening out. Maybe she'll take advantage of the lingering light and give Beaut a proper ride up the mountain path.


[ooc: I'm so sorry for inundating the bar! I did try to space everything out. ~sheepish~ Post open indefinitely; catch Kate anywhere you like, she'll be making her rounds and she's in a great humor.]

Comments

[ikissdhimbck]

A second eyebrow joins the first.

"Really?"

Paint Kate intrigued.

[a1enzo]

Scowl, scowl, grimace. (He knows what's coming.)

[ikissdhimbck]

Oh, she's only going to grin in the face of all that scowling.

"I'm sure your cap is quite charmin'. I don't s'pose I'll get t'see it?"

[a1enzo]

"Fiiiiiine." Resistance is futile.

He taps his icon. A shimmer runs down the length of his body, and his clothing changes as it passes.

[ikissdhimbck]

Blink.

"My, that was somethin' else."

Impressed, it takes her a moment to really look at the cap.

She smirks.

"Now, what'd I say? Y'look smart."

[a1enzo]

Glower.

He is disinclined to agree.

[ikissdhimbck]

Snicker snicker snicker.

We're sorry, Enzo. It's just that you're rather precious like this.

"Aw, c'mon now. Won't all the other young boys be wearin' the same thing?"

[a1enzo]

"And girls, yeah."

They are united in mortification.

[ikissdhimbck]

"There, now. That's what we call equal opportunity humiliation."

Grin.

"Honestly, it ain't that bad!"

[a1enzo]

"I guess. And the rest is fine," he admits, possibly posing a little. "It's just the hat."

[ikissdhimbck]

"Y'look rather dashing. They say a young woman quite likes a man in uniform."

[a1enzo]

"It hasn't hurt," he allows with a grin. "Pretty sure she likes my regular uniform better, though. She says the hat makes me look like a fry cook."

[ikissdhimbck]

Kate laughs.

"Must be the fashion in some worlds or futures. I'll be sure t'keep a lookout for it."

[a1enzo]

"Gee, thanks," he says dryly as he taps his icon again and changes back. "At least I'll only have to put up with it till graduation. The full Guardians' dress uniform is cooler, even if it does have that high collar."

[ikissdhimbck]

"Y'see? Then y'don't have too awful long before y'can choose more charmin' hats."

Every cloud, Master Enzo.

"If you're ever lookin' for a good 'ten gallon', jus' let me know."

[a1enzo]

"I'll keep it in mind."

[ikissdhimbck]

"Good."

Chuckling, she nods toward the stables ahead.

"Now, how's about we get Lady Beaut settled back in, an' I'll buy you some digitized cocoa?"

[a1enzo]

"I'm good with that!"
