Libby nods again. Just like me, she thinks to herself.
"That's the same thing I said when I came here. I haven't changed much, but this is a better place for me..." She smiles at him. "So what is it you're trying to get away from?"

Daniel leaned back a little on the stool, getting himself lost in his own delusional thoughts. "God, man, and mostly myself." Daniel let his cigarette rest in the ash tray, and took another drink, finishing the glass. "In all reality, I am just tired of being judged by others. I am just hoping to start out clean here... just start over..." Daniel's voice faded in volume.

Libby's tone of voice turns to that of extreme sincerity and solemnity.
"Well, hey... I came here to start over, and I'm doin' better now than I've ever been... So I hope the same for you."

Libby smiles; she can feel his gratitude.
"I know."

Cass stumbles slowly into the bar, looking as if she'd been stranded at sea for months--partly because she had been. Figuring that basic necessities such as... oh, drinkable water... was probably more important than finding a shirt and pants that didn't have sharkbites in them, she decided that she would deal with her current 'fashion statement' later and see if she could get something, anything, to drink.
She sits at a stool, but doesn't say a thing--she hasn't spoken to anyone in months, and doesn't even have confidence that her mouth remembers to move properly to form words.

As the girl sits down, Libby is hit with a wave of exhaustion. She turns to her and looks her over.
"You need something to drink?" she asks, with a bit of worry on her face.

Cass looks over slowly, and stares blankly for a moment, until she realizes the question was directed at her.
"Yes... yes please."

Libby looks at her expectantly, waiting for her to tell her what exactly she wants.

She stares blankly again until she realizes she actually didn't order anything. Shaking her head a moment to try to clear her head a moment as if there were some demon stealing away her ability to communicate properly, she tries to smile a bit as she apologizes.
"Sorry, it's been a while since..." she coughs lightly, her throat too dry to give any proper explanation. "I'll just have some water for now."

Libby reaches into a cooler for a bottle of water and hands it to her. "Anythin' else I can do for ya?" she asks, still concerned.

Taking a sip of water with her left arm first, she sets the cup down and points at the right side of herself, which was covered in little sharkbites, stained a light red in patches on her shirt and pants. The bites weren't necessarily deep, but they were numerous, and made movement of her right arm and leg difficult and somewhat painful at times.
"Is there some place I can get bandaged and get these wounds cleaned up around here? I've had them a couple weeks now, and I really need someone who knows something beyond basic first aid..."

Libby shakes her head. "I don't know of a clinic anywhere on the island... lemme call Aonice... she's in charge of everything around here, so maybe she'll know what to do."
Libby picks up a phone and dials an extention.

As soon as Libby picked up the phone, Aonice fell seemingly out of nowhere from the cieling. Her long billowing hair covered the bar as she landed onto the countertop, crossing her legs and smiling omnipitently.. "You rang?" She asked warmly..

"Aonice..."
For the first time in a while, a small smile crossed her lips. Aonice was one who was truly kind to her before and she had felt a sisterly connection to, and was one of her greatest friends next to Suki and Yumi... though that was a long time ago, it felt like. Almost ages, it seems, though she hasn't kept good track of time while at sea.
Her smile fades and turns into a cringe as she grabs her shark-bitten arm with her left hand... for such small wounds, they sure were painful.
