"Ahh...y-yeah...maybe..." Frieda stuttered, quickly looking down at the countertop immediately in front of her, she looked towards Steve then turned back towards Brandy. "Don't...don't be like that, all right. I..." she sighed, heavily, then looked at Rook. "I'm sorry, okay?" 

Brandy grinned and pat the top of Frieda’s hand, “Oh good, thank you.” She was sidetracked by the new Steve guy arguing with Lorelei and watched briefly.

"So!" Frieda cried cheerfully at Ace, "What's a girl gotta do to get a beer around here?"

“Frieda, this is Ace,” Brandy reached out and tugged Ace’s shirt just above his belt, “Ace, this is Frieda.” She shut up and turned her head when Rook spoke up.

“Make sure she gets cold beer. Rook can carry things to help repair cold maker after he finishes with wall. Rook needs help on it. Rook has ideas, but not sure how to make them work. Maybe someone in town can help?” Rook asked, packing up the meat after he was done paying for it. “Children of Atom a threat to town, so sooner we build walls, better. Rook can ignore their tickle guns, but he has seen other friends die from them. Don't want to see new ones die here.”

“I...I was going to buy your stuff Rook?” Brandy sighed, “Alright, next time though [i]I will [/i] pay for it. I will round up some help for the wall too.” Brandy spun her barstool to face Frieda again leaning in she whispered, “See? You need to look at Rook’s eyes and see him for [i]WHO[/i] he is and not [i]WHAT [/i] he is. I mean, it's not his fault he was born that way ya know? I'll grab you a beer.”

She jumped down and skated behind the bar and pulled out three beers and sat them on the counter, “My treat,” she twisted the caps off and slid a beer in front of Frieda, Rook, and her seat. She took the three caps and dropped them into Ace’s pocket, “There ya go.” She returned to her stool and raises her bottle, “To new friends and a new home, [i]CHEERS [/I]!!!”
