Okay, so a nobody sniper and a Russian Santa in a trench coat walk into a bar-
(Fun fact: Lena cant speak good english so when she says ‘Santa” she means “Satan” and nobody every corrects her so the joke has been running for years) The Russian Santa says to the nobody sniper- why the long face? Or- whatever is appropriate to be said in this situation.
(oh my goodness, Lena, no- that is hilarious.) Ruby settles into her usual spot at the bar, frowning. "This is how I normally look." She pauses to order, assessing her company. "So, what about you? Drinking to celebrate, forget, or kill time?"
(Consequently she also calls ‘Santa’ ‘Satan’ so you can see problems coming from that.) Lena, having no usual spot and being new to this place, seems to be surveying the room, but despite this she doesn’t sound uninterested. “Why pick one, why not choose all three?”
( I can just imagine. "Remember, if you've been a good child, Satan and his elves will cook up a very special gift for you, and then in the dead of night will crawl down your chimney." "What.... what happens if I'm bad?" "You get put on *Heavy Russian accent intensifies* the naughty list." Thank goodness she works for Nero and not as a babysitter.) Ruby gives a grin of approval, patting the barstool next to her. "Each occasion requires a certain drink, you can mix and match, of course. I'm not trying to squash your creative freedom. Just don't order the espresso martini, it tastes terrible."
(That made me laugh ohhhh my goodness that is perfect) “Thank you for the advice.” She nodded and sat down, ordering a drink herself before turning to face Ruby. She didn’t seem particularly hostile, just observant, trying to get an accurate first impression. (Ahh that’s okay with me, I understand ^^ I’m the same way)
