''i just needed a moment to think. jeez.'' charlie let out a sigh and shook her head. ''i'll start with a gin and tonic please. then an old fashioned.'' she pulled out her wallet that had her identification on the bar. ''i can see you're busy so there's no rush.''

charlie couldn't quite make out yet if she was being sarcastic at first until she walked away to the other side of the bar. was she flirting? most likely not so instead charlie just smirked with a shrug of her shoulder. she drank some of her gin and tonic, realizing she was on her own as a clearly drunk man came up to stand near her. he was trying to hit on her and she was not interested at all. she was guarded for a reason and this man was not helping how she felt. she just took deep breaths as she waited for the bartender to return.

''i'm going with that you did fall off a horse. if there's polar bears around here that's a big issue don't you think? they could never survive here.''charlie was trying hard not to laugh as she spoke. ''unless you misspoke and meant a black bear.''

open to anyone / @championstarters

charle cringed but she was used to worse attitudes which included her own someties so she shrugged it off. ''think I could convince you?'' she paused. ''and before that drink ends up in my face where I could defend myself I was only kidding.'' she looked around. ''anyone else that asks just tell them to shove off. you donated and that's enough I think.''
