Maddock & Kat.
@cryofavalkyrie
Maddock was generally a solitary drinker. Unless some momentous occasion had passed, he preferred to find solace in spirits alone. However, he also wasn’t one to turn down a guest when they offered to buy him a round. One round became two became three, until the guest had needed to leave and take care of some other affair.
He should’ve left too, but he’d gone ahead and ordered another beer for himself. Typically, he favored stronger spirits, beer rarely went to his head anymore, but he wanted his sobriety about him in public like this. Nathan could only imagine the humiliation of being a blundering drunk in this crowd. Too many dangerous people around to risk the vulnerability.
Down the bar, another figure caught his eye, her brown hair illuminated by the neon signs dotting the walls. He couldn’t quite see her face, but something brought him to his feet and moving down toward her. He touched her shoulder, “Do you mind if I join you?”
