EP: Kate Barlow | Main Bar

Kate comes inside trailing clouds of dust behind her. She's been working the stables, as usual. Today was a hot one, and it didn't seem fit working the stock so long as the sun was high, so she set about cleaning and organizing instead. She takes off her hat and sets it on the Bar, wincing apologetically as dirt puffs up and settles on the lacquered surface.

"Beggin' your pardon, Miss. I'll clean it up. Meantime, could I get somethin' cold?"

A pint of peach cobbler ice cream pops up as she settles herself on a stool. She eyeballs it dubiously. How can you put a respectable cobbler in a bucket of cold ice cream? She don't believe it can be done. Naturally, she won't dismiss it out of hand without giving it a fair shake. For science, and all.

She opens a ledger and starts going over notes, scooting the pint closer. Every now and again, her hand strays to her chest, absently playing with the necklace she's wearing. It's strangely soothing.

Which earns her a funny look from Clem. "Sam. Sam Axe? Tall guy, kind of pudgy, wears tropical shirts and a gold chain?" She scoots over, brandishing the ice cream. "He tends to hide out when he's in here, but his best friend's always hanging around."

She'll pout just a little at the notion of Sam not talking about her. JUST a little. "Yeah. Blew into Bar during my last tending," she admits. "We've been on and off for around two years now." She shrugs. "Y'know how it goes, don't you? Milliways..."

The funny thing is that her possessiveness over Sam waxes and wanes, depending on whether or not she's fought with him recently. But things are good between them. Really good.

"I'll tell him you say 'hi'." And depending on his attitude,she actually will. She raises an eyebrow. "Am I just seeing things, or do you know what it's like?"

"Thanks," Clementine says, and swirls her spoon through the ice cream as she considers Kate's take. "Yikes." She's sort of sorry but now her curiosity's piqued. "Did he end up stuck back in his world? And there's been nobody else? Ever?

She's not a very good detective, but she still doesn't believe Kate's story.

Clementine raises an eyebrow. "So. Clones or brain damage, right?" She's trying to bend her poor mind around this whole concept. Sometimes she's too earthly bound for her own good.

"The kinda lady I am," she grins. "Someone who knows what she wants and knows how to get it."

Clementine nods. "I'd offer you a jaggie bomb but we both want to keep that ice cream down." Speaking of, she finally dollops a bit of her own onto Kate's saucer, finally, eliciting that comment. "You should ask me for tips. I'm kind of an expert." The verbal tildes are obvious, no?

Her eyes finally follow Kate's hand. "Hello. Where'd you get that?" It's a little glint of gold, but it catches her eye, as all golden things do.

It's a shot of jagermeister tossed into a glass of beer, chugged. Clem loves it. It's probably killed at least a fourth of her brain cells.

"All three, but the third's a business-related thing. Guess I shouldn't talk about it, right?" As if she doesn't have her badge on her somewhere.

"It's really cute." She pats her diamonds and smiles. "Mine're all from Sam." Neither of them can afford baubles, but hers were a Christmas gift. Then she stares.

For quite awhile.

At the charm.

Oh, she knows who got her that necklace.

She knoooows.

Um Clem? Kate's eyes are up there...

"Uh?" Clementine does a double-take. "Oh. I'm...I'm a cop." She rubs her forehead, then tousles her own hair. "Fuck and you knew that..." Then she tilts her head. Crosses her arms.

STARRES at Kate.

"Do you know a guy named Tommy Gavin?"

"Cauuuse I saw him buy that necklace." She spoons a little more ice cream into her mouth. "And he said it was for a girl he liked."

She actually wiggles her eyebrows at this point. Maybe Sam's cheesiness is secretly an STD.

Clem gives her a tilt of the head. And a little laugh.

"Kate. Come on." She shrugs. "If it helps to know, I was never serious with him. He's just a good friend, and you seem to make him pretty happy..." she shrugs. "Happier than he used to be."

[personal profile] hey35andholding 2013-08-18 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
She shrugs. "Honey, it was just one time." They ate Oreos naked, it was fun, and they're close friends, but a relationship? Pah! "A year ago? Maybe two?" Another spoonful of ice cream. "So don't you worry about it."

Clementine shakes her head. "You look like you swallowed a meteor." And then tries to look Kate in the eye. "It's okay, if you don't want to talk about him."
