"What do I do?" he asked, not sure about what she meant. "What do you mean by that? You mean for a living? Well, I dunno if I should talk about that..."

"Why not?" she asked, frumpling her brow. Licking one end of a toothpick then another she stabbed them into a folded napkin, licking more ends and carefully placing them to touch the ends of the other licked ones. Sticking and staying in place once letting go.

"It's not really a favored profession around some parts here..." he said with a smile before taking another swig. "Especially with me being a human and all."

She cocked an eyebrow at him smirking lightly. "You look like you enjoy your job?", she stated, adding more licked toothpicks onto the forming tower.

"Sometimes," he said, looking down at the counter. "It depends, really. You know...on the situation, that is."

She nodded in agreement. "The situation causes the problem, but brings the solution along with it. Only thing is.. which solution do you pick?" She pushed back from the bar admiring the finished toothpick tower, which resembled a famous french tower.

"Well said..." said Leo, taking another swig and smirking a bit.

She smilied poking the tower's side as it collapsed. "Thanks. So, Leo, run out of beer yet?" she asked looking at the bottle in his hand. He had to at least taken 4 swigs within their conversation.

Leo took a look at his bottle again, noticing that it had finally run empty. He had drank it rather fast, even after just waking up. "I guess I am..."

She collected the fallen toothpicks throwing them out once she got behind the counter. "Name what you would like. If you want something." Usually she would take the role of bartender if someone required a drink. Even though the bar was self serve she still liked to help.

"Nah..." he said, slowly getting up. "That's alright. I appreciate the offer, but I gotta get going..." He started towards the doorway, turning a bit and waving to her. "It was nice meeting you," he said with a smile as he went on his way.

"Buh-bye!" she waved back and sat down on the familiar stool with a sigh. There just went her entertainment and company. She leaned on the bar with her elbows, propping her head up in her hands, letting her eyelids fall halfway, staring off into the fireplace.

Leo stopped for a moment, thinking. It wouldn't be nice for him to just up and leave someone like that...especially when this whole place was so empty. He turned around and headed back to her.
"On second thought," said Leo, "perhaps I could stay a little longer. I'm kindof bored."

She shifted her head in her hands to watch him. "You can go if you really have to...but, it is nice to have company." she grined, happy that he changed his mind to stay. "Well, boredom is a mental illness that everyone shares. Only one cure for that."

"And what would that be?" he said as he returned to his seat, sitting next to her.
