Vivian arrived at Alexei’s at noon on the dot. She surprised herself that she managed to be punctual for once, but after some thought, she figured it was certainly easier to be on time when it was worth it to make the effort. Her morning routine was relatively short anyway—after the phone call, Vivian ran her usual route around her apartment building, and grabbed breakfast from a deli at the end of the jog. It pained her and her bank account to pay for breakfast daily, but she would much rather be broke than eat whatever cooked monstrosity she may make in a kitchen. Thankfully, Alexei’s fed her dinner during shifts.

At first glance, the sports bar looked rather sparse. This was usually the case at noon, weekend or not. There were a few patrons here and there and a group of teenagers at the pool tables. No Alexander Drake, though. She took it as an opportunity to put down her things in the break room, and was pleasantly surprised to see Elias checking the schedule.

She approached him with a grin tugging at her lips, as she laid down a pair of sunglasses and a bag on the table. [color=C8C7CB]“How’s it going?”[/color]

Vivian had brought her personal pool cue with her in preparation for the upcoming lesson. She swiftly took it out of her bag and began to assemble it. 

[color=C8C7CB]“Before you ask—no, I did not miraculously arrive early for a shift. I got the contact information for some rich guy who lives in New Paeonia because he wanted to learn how to play pool, so here I am. First lesson of many, I hope.”[/color] Upon mentioning New Paeonia, it briefly crossed Vivian's mind to mention Alissa again, but she decided against it. She nudged him on the shoulder with an elbow, flashing a smug smile. [color=C8C7CB]“He promised to pay for drinks - add a few extra shots for me, will ya?”[/color]
