"I Know I'm Somewhere On Planet Manhattan."

"You're right about that." The other patron at the bar's remark was exactly what she was about to say, with the lack of anything better to do and slightly buzzed she thought this lonely stranger could be a source of amusement.

"Why else would someone come to a bar if not for the booze, I mean..." She turned on her seat so that her back would be against the wall. "Don't tell me you're lonely and looking for a friend or something." She teased.

"Hey pardnar!" She called the barman's attention. "Ain't you got a customers only policy or somethin'?"

The humble employee took a second too long to answer, he was about to open her mouth when the security officer interrupted him.

"How about you get him something to drink?" She then turned to the shady character in the corner. "On me."

Dayayra then picked up her glass and really tasted it for the first time. "Well... Maybe this is too much of a kick for me..." The freelancer looked at the other person keeping her company at the counter. "What are we drinking anyway?"

That is about the time that the bartender set another glass of the same brew in front of her, maybe he felt too lazy to walk around the corner to take the drink to the man. Luckily for him CitlaTzin was in a good mood so she took the drink and stepped off the stool to bring the drink to the booth in the corner behind her.

"And you're welcome." She flashed one of her trademarked grins leaving little room for objections.
