Long time, no see, stranger.

[ they literally just spoke yesterday. ]

[throughbamboo]

Been forever, eh?

[wordlessly gestures for them to head on in]

[doggonemad]

Ya missed me that much, eh?

[ headin' on in with him. ]

[throughbamboo]

Maybe. Told ya I liked drinkin' with ya, didn't I?

[hey look, where they sat yesterday is free, may as well sit there]

[doggonemad]

[ sits down next to him. ]

Yeah, ya did.

[throughbamboo]

Must've liked it too, if ya agreed to comin' out today.

[doggonemad]

Ehh, I figured I could squeeze ya in.

[throughbamboo]

Made room for me in yer schedule?

[doggonemad]

Sure did. Feel honored.

[throughbamboo]

Well shit, I feel real special.

[doggonemad]

Ya better!

[ orderin' his usual. ]

[throughbamboo]

[he makes an amused noise, doing the same]

I do.

[doggonemad]

Hell yeah. Cheers to that.

[throughbamboo]

Hope I didn't actually steal ya away from any serious work.

[doggonemad]

Nah, the kids were just doin' their thing. I let 'em be for the most part.

[throughbamboo]

Heh, no supervisin' today?

[doggonemad]

I guess not? Jewel an' the others are off doin' somethin'.

[throughbamboo]

Ahh. Well, hope they stay out of trouble for ya.

[doggonemad]

Yeah, here's hopin'. Tch.

[ takes a sip. ]

Friday went to friggin' Nick Graeysteel. Told him my hair looked like shit, wanted him to style it for me. Like Nick an' I don't talk all the goddamn time.

[throughbamboo]

[he pauses, drink halfway to his lips]

Hah? The hell's wrong with your hair? It looks fine ta me.

[doggonemad]

S'just how it is with some of these shits. Pampered divas.

[throughbamboo]

I don't really get it, but I ain't ever given too much of a shit 'bout how I look.

[doggonemad]

Image is everythin' with the Arias. I've made mine exactly the way I want it fer my own reasons.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, ya said that yesterday 'bout yer image. Figured that went for physical, too.

[doggonemad]

Mm-hmm.

[ another sip. ]

Image is powerful. Allows me to stay in control. For example, if shits like Friday are too focused on mine, they're not lookin' elsewhere.
