Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amy blushed bright red and she laughed softly as she buried her face in her hand while leaning her elbow on the counter.

"Ummm, wow. You definitely have an interesting nephew, Karrie."

She laughed softly again and then went back behind the counter, smiling down at Thistle as she went.

She reached down below the counter, picked up her papers, and then set them down on the counter in front of Karrie. She smiled at him and rested her hands on her hips.

"Karrie, I have a proposition for you. Are you ever lonely when you are working on paperwork at JD?"

Thistle looked up at Mitri, considered what he said and noticed his smile, and then slowly stood back up and moved the rest of the way to Mitri. She stood there, not touching him, but not moving away if he decided to move forward to touch her.

Amy's eyes widened. "You two are the same age?! No, I had no idea. He seems younger than you."

Amy put her hands on the top of her papers and grinned at Karrie. "Well, what would you say to having someone join you when you're doing paperwork at JD? I bet it'd be less boring and you might get it done faster. I was hoping I could join you when you worked on the books in JD and you could possibly teach me how to do all this. Then, as I get better, we can help each other! We also wouldn't go insane by being all alone in the silence. What do you say?"

Thistle squeaked very softly at Mitri's compliment. He thought she was soft! She liked to think she was soft. She was glad that someone else thought so, too.

She flicked her tail, this time a little more noticeably. She also reached her head up slightly and nudged Mitri's hand with her nose.

Yeah, we're the same age. My dad rasied both of us together because Niiki's dad was only 15 when he was born.

*looks at the stack of papers* I suppose we could try it. I tend to put my paperwork off to the last minute, though. sweatdrop

*smiles at Thistle and pets her more* You're so cute! I've never seen anything like you.

{{Since your post is in a blue cloud, killa, I'm not going to have Amy respond to it. I'm guessing you're just thinking that and aren't actually in the bar.}}

Amy nodded. "So isn't Niiki more like your brother than your nephew?"

She picked up her stack of papers, walked around the counter, set herself on the bar stool next to Karrie and set the papers on the counter in front of her.

"Well, if you want, you could teach me a few of the basics tonight and we'll have less to do when we work on everything in JD, or do you just want to wait?"

Thistle's tail started to flick back and forth happily and she leaned into Mitri's hand, much like a cat would do when being pet.

pokes thro the bar doors to see who has played yet and sees Dougherty distracted by the crane. 3nodding

*shrugs* More or less, I suppose. People get confused when we try to explain our family sometimes. *laughs*

Actually, you'd be better off asking Kits to teach you the basics. Isn't she running the place with you anyway?

*smiles widely, petting Thistle, and lifts her mane to look at her horn*

*nods at Dougherty* Hello, Officer Dougherty. This is Mitri, my nephew.

*is too engrossed in petting Thistle to notice what anyone else is saying*

Amy smiled at Dougherty. "You're very welcome, Dougherty! I was happy to do it and very appreciative of you playing one of the games opening night."

She heard what Karrie said and her smile dropped slightly. "Oh... Well, yeah, she is, but I just thought that it'd be nice if we took turns doing it so it's not just one person who's stuck doing it all the time. I was going to do it first and thought it'd be fun if we did our paperwork together. But that's okay. It was just an idea. I forgot that guys like their solitude sometimes."

She smiled slightly at him and then stood up. She walked behind the counter. "Killa, Dougherty, can I get you two a drink or anything?"

Thistle ducked slightly when Mitri lifted her mane, automatically going back into defensive mode, but when she saw the large smile on his face, she relaxed more and even flapped her small wings a few times. Then, she moved forward and situated herself on Mitri's lap. She tucked her legs underneath her stomach and settled down onto his lap. She squeaked happily.

Well, if you don't mind pouring me a cup of coffee to go, that would be great. *turns to killafrog* Evening, Boss. The Drinking Game's been a bit slow to start. I'll post a Tally Sheet tomorrow night and see if that attracts more patrons.

Crane of Love, 4th roll.
