It had been awhile since Doc had ventured over to Sophies. But, since he was spending a few days at home in his lab and being closer to his misses, he put on his old west attire and made his way over.
"Well, well, if it is Dr. John Henry Holliday!" exclaimed Norman as he strolled in, "it's about time you got back to us." As he got to the bar, Norman put out a shot glass and a bottle of Coalition Vodka on the counter.
"You haven't forgotten what I like, Old Friend," responded a smiling Doc.
Taking a shot, he then produced a deck of cards and began shuffling them, "anyone here ready to donate?" he asked with a grin.
"Well," he said, "there are some Bowex blokes in the corner."
"Bah," Doc replied, "the Bretonian Crown barely gives them enough to eat. Corsairs are always more willing."
"None here today, Doc," stated Norman to which Doc could only shrug as if to say "Ah well."
Doc looked around and began walking to check the rest of the bar, shuffling the cards in his hands. It was then he noticed his old friend, Linus and Sophie. He just grinned as he then knew where he was headed.
"Norman," he said as he turned to him in the doorway, "bring me that bottle and a couple more glasses."
He sat with his friends, shuffling the cards. He had the appearance of the Doc of old, the Doc before he had met his current wife. He was spry and quite ready to take someone's money.
"My, my, Sophie, it is good to see you again as it is you too, Linus," he commented.
