Henry laughed through the pain at Skylar's joke, though he knew he was at least partly serious. They did need something for what they went through even though technically no one was responsible. No one could have anticipated that freak storm. The skies were clear this morning and before they started painting. He was just glad that everyone was okay for the most part. He stood up and brushed off his jumpsuit. [color=#dbdd3c]"As much as I love laying here with you all, I prefer dry clothes. I'm going to get changed out of this wetsuit. But since we're getting off early if anyone wants to come to my bar and decompress from this shitstorm the first round's on me. We can head on over together after we get changed."[/color]

Prince's ears perked up at the invitation. He likely was going to head over there anyway, but he definitely needed that free drink. But first he needed to re-up. He was reminded of this when Cait asked for his lighter. He patted his pockets to make sure that his bic was still there. It thankfully was. He swore those things were indestructible. He picked it out of his pocket and handed it to Cait before answering her question about their warden. [color=#755FBE]"He went ahead inside. Something's off with the guy, but he gave us the rest of the day off."[/color] Prince stood up next and followed Henry inside, but stopped to answer Kassandra before he reached the door. [color=#755FBE]"Sorry, luv. I think this is the best we're gonna get."[/color] It was then that he noticed the girl that had been mostly quiet during their time here. She was also the only one who hadn't fully woken up since the storm. [color=#755FBE]"Is she going to be okay? Do you need help bringing her inside?"[/color] He asked Aksel.

It was still early in the day so the bar thankfully wasn't crowded. Only a few other people were there and they were sitting in the booths. Despite not officially working Henry got behind the bar to get the others who decided to join their drinks. After the morning they had he knew they needed the best that the bar had to offer so he got bottles from the top shelf to either pour them shots or make them cocktails. As soon as he started pouring his bartender persona activated. [color=#dbdd3c]"I know some of us knew each other from before, but we didn't get to properly introduce ourselves today. I'm Henry and I got community service for laying into some assholes outside this very bar. They definitely deserved it. What about the rest of you? No judgment. This is a safe space unless you bully my patrons."[/color]

Prince stood on the steps of a brownstone and knocked on the door while yelling, [color=#755FBE]"Cassian! It's me, Prince! Open up!"[/color] The door opened just enough for a head to pop out. The head's dreads were seen before its face until it finally peeked out to reveal Cassian's annoyed and skeptic face.

[color=orange]"Dude. The fuck's your deal knocking and yelling at my door like you're the pigs?"[/color] Cassian asked before opening the door wider to let Prince in. If he wasn't one of his best customers he would've slammed the door in his face for acting like he didn't have any sense.

Prince stepped inside and closed the door behind him. [color=#755FBE]"You weren't at your usual spot and you don't know how to answer a phone."[/color]

[color=orange]"You wouldn't be outside either if a random hailstorm almost killed you and your customers."[/color]

[color=#755FBE]"You got caught in it too? Cait and I had to run for our lives at community service."[/color]

Cassian's eyes lit up. He wondered if Prince started to experience strange occurrences after the storm, but decided not to bring it up unless he did. [color=orange]"Shit was crazy, but it also might've been the best thing to happen to me. I've been selling like crazy today. People's nerves have been going crazy. Anyway. I have the same strain as last time, but also something new. Not weed. It's something greater."[/color]

Prince was tempted to try this new thing but shook his head. [color=#755FBE]"Just the weed for now. You have enough for a half?"[/color]

Cassian seemed to get his answer. Prince didn't know anything about what the storm actually did yet. He'd let him discover it on his own. [color=orange]"It's my last til my re-up, but since I fuck with you, it's yours."[/color]

[color=#755FBE]"You're the best, Cass."[/color] Prince said with a grin.
