@whclesome asked for a starter!
As much as Eli loved talking to folks, he could always appreciate the beauty of a more quiet night. Nobody was making a fuss. Nobody was pounding the bar for another vodka cran. It was a shift he'd be leaving without a headache. Just as he was getting set to wipe down some glasses, he heard the distinctive rumble of a bar argument, which usually always turned into a bar fight. It was as he thought, the moment he saw bodies slamming into walls, pictures sliding off the wall and shattering, Eli jumped into action. "Hey!" He gestured over to the bouncer with a nod, having the two men forcefully separated and shoved out the front door. With a sigh, he eyes the folks around him with a tired smile. "Sorry, y'all. Things happen from time to time. Next round's on me, okay?" As the few people around him cheered, he eyed the blonde trying to get back in, being blocked by the burly bouncer. But, he could see...remorse? In his eyes? Sighing, he whistled at the bouncer, giving the blonde the go ahead to return and approach. "Hey, you can't be doing shit like that, man." Eli cut to the chase as they met across the bar. "This is a nice place. You have a problem, you take it outside. Got it? The scolding tone wasn't usually like Eli, so it melted off him as soon as he said what he needed to say. "Besides, what if you hurt that handsome mug of yours? It'd be a shame."
