He put the filled glass on the counter and smiled at his customer. "I'll just add it to your tab Frank."
The man just mumbled something that could be vaguely interpreted as a polite "Thank you" and left for his favourite table in the corner of the bar. A fine lad, even though he was prone to forget about the tabs he opened.
As always, the bar was nearly empty. He let his gaze wander through the room and was only able to make out two other people aside from Jimmy. The lack of customers was not surprising as this place was about as far away from house space as you can get.
That was what drew him there.
It was quiet. Not many knew about this system and trouble tended to stay away from it.
Supplies were scarce and shipments only arrived every few weeks, but he could do well without any luxury. That's one thing he was used to after all.
He turned his head to look out of the huge window covering one entire side of the bar.
No, life was not too comfortable in a desolate place like this, but it was perfect for when you needed a little bit of Solitude.
And besides, his gaze went to the twin suns of the system, the view was well worth it.
