Welcome to Gaia! ::

Turning to Toshiro, the slender man brought to light the reality of why they were there: "Sadoko's never been 'ere before, she said she heard about it when she went back t'school. A couple girls were tryin' t'get her t'come 'ere, but she refused, as expected." His eyes glanced down to the drink as it was set down, but he didn't pick it up yet. He would have spoken up again, but instead found himself listening to some words which the tender offered.

"I take it tis where ye went when ye found out about yers?" He paused and took a drag, then added "Do ye have a boy or a girl?" He sounded minimally interested at best, but any who knew him well enough knew that he bothered to ask, so he did want to know.

"Yes, the GMFC was where I recieved prenatal care for my boy....Joel, if you're wondering his name." Keeta replied, the edge in her voice betraying the annoyance she was trying to keep under control. She went over to the carrier and gently removed Joel from it so they could get a better look at him. Maybe that would bring about some sort of interest in the well-being of the child. Joel fussed slightly, opening his three eyes breifly and Keeta cooed at him, trying to soothe him back to sleep. After a couple of moments, his eyes were closed again and he rested peacefully in Keeta's arm. She gave Daikenkai another look that said she would appreciate the cigarette being put out, then turned to the grey-haired man.

"Perhaps distance is enough. I don't know enough about the effects of smoke to say for sure, but I think I might take him upstairs before too long, regardless....

"As for Sadoko, I believe she was having twins. Did the Sadoko you speak up have twins? I keep hoping to run into her so that I could see them. She was a real comfort to me my first visit to the clinic...."

There sure was a lot of talk about children... wierd children. He had actually hoped to get away from them this evening. To at least save himself from a few moments of talking about babies he drank down his beverage. Once it was gone he no longer had an excuse not to talk.

"Well... she had them a while back. Both are boys. One of them really looks like me, which is neat... I probably looked like him as a baby. The other one looks more like her, dark hair and what not." He knew his boys had strange fingernails and somewhere layed a hint of demonic genes but he didn't want them to seem strange... he wanted them to be normal and not have to worry about such. As he thought on such he seemed to stare off for a while. Eventually he snapped out of his thoughts and looked back up to the bartender with a change of subject. "May I have another drink please?"

Ah yes, he was definitely irritating this lady, which inwardly made him smile. Outwardly, still not even a hint of amusement. However, it seemed his smoke would shortly be ending. The cigarette was almost done, and he really wasn't in the mood for a second one. Pity he muttered silently in his mind.

To continue to grit on her nerves a bit, Daikenkai uttered "I'll think about it" in a manner which almost sounded like "fat chance." Perhaps the response wouldn't get as much of a reaction as he hoped, seeing as Toshiro would probably say "Sure thing" or something positive. He glanced around in search of an ash tray, and once located, he snuffed out his addiction.

Keeta didn't even turn to Daikenkai when he spoke. The kids weren't even his, supposedly. Instead she turned to get Toshiro his drink. She mixed it while he thought and smiled broadly at his response.

"Great!" she said, clearly happy. Keeta finished mixing his drink and placed it in front of him, before grabbing a napkin and scribbling something on it.

"Here's my number so you or Sadoko can call me, if you want to get together. Or you can generally find me here." She was very excited at the prospect of Joel having some friends.

Taking the napkin the boy carefully folded it before stuffing it into his pocket. "Nice" With a smile he took his second drink and began to quickly sip away. After taking his fill for the moment he set it back down on the counter. "You mix these pretty good..." He felt a little silly afterwards remembering that she was a bartender after all.

Feeling pretty good at this point he began to slide his finger over the rim of the glass. Eventually his glance turned towards Daikenkai giving him a small smile. It was a bit hard to hide the strange love he felt for the cross dresser.

It was fortunate for the bartender that the crossdresser had not noticed his partner's eyes, for it could have led to him being even more of a pain than he had been before. When he got his drink, he didn't hesitate to put it away, and this time much more quickly. He had a high tolerance for alcohol, despite his thin frame, and so when the bartender asked about anything else, he lifted his shot glass and uttered yet again "Same as before." Daikenkai was not a light drinker, which probably made up for the fact that Sadoko just flat out didn't drink.
