Fiona glanced back at Lee and saw that he was talking to someone new, she smiled and walked over to the bathroom, not wanting to leave anymore, but not knowing who to talk to.

"With time, you'll figure it out so don't worry about it. You're here to have fun so have a few drinks, not enough to make you drunk, but enough to relieve some of the stress." He suggested, feeling like he needed it.

“I would have more to drink if I hade the money,” Lee sighed. If I told him….. no, I can’t…. no…. “But I don’t necessarily….” I have no idea what I’m saying right now. “Whatever….” Just forget everything! You’re here to have a good time!!! “…Thanks for the insight, though.” Fuuuuuck, what the hell just happened? What did I just say?…. But it doesn’t matter….

"I'll pay for you. What do you want since you seem like you need it." He told him while motioning the bartender. (I don't know if they're at the bar or just sitting)

(Oh they’re at the bar, ya)

Lee chewed on his lip a little. “Whiskey on the rocks,” He said, fumbling around with the leftover money in his pocket. I would pay for myself if there weren’t more important things to save for— A stong and unusual sting jabbed his gut, and he barely flinched and tried his best to ignore it. Now what’s going on….?

Cosmo thought for a second before ordering gin and tonic. The bartender made it quite fast considering the fact that the ingredients were right in front of him. "So what do you do?" He asked him, trying to start a conversation and break the tense silence.

“Nothing,” Lee admitted hurtfully. “I used to work on a potato farm with my— dad, but we lost everything, and now I can’t get myself back up…. because no one wants a farmer anymore.” He resisted the strong urge to tear up again. Grow up…. the past is the past…. focus on the present…..

"Wow, that's… that's a lot. I couldn't come to terms if that happened to me and I can't begin to imagine how you're feeling right now." He took a sip of his drink before continuing. "If you don't mind, how did you lose it?"

He was unsure whether to share or not, but he decided there was no use in hiding it anymore. “It was years of drought. Stuff dried up, we lost money, he got sick and died, and I had to go off on my own.” Lee was surprised by the way it came out— solid and straightforward. ….? “…And…. I’ve never gained a buck through work since then.”

"Have you thought about moving or finding another farming job somewhere? Get some more money so you can start back up again. It would probably take a while to rebuild what you had but it could happen." Cosmo looked at him, to check if he was close to breaking down or not.

(Same, I forgot my characters name)

(XD I've done that before…)

Hiii…

”Have you thought about moving or finding anohter farming job somewhere? Get more money so you can start back up again. It would probably take a while to rebuild what you had but it could happen.” Cosmo looked at him to check if he was close to breaking down or not.

Lee fought the urge to tear up. He couldn’t tell anyone he lived anywhere he walked. “That’s not a bad idea…. but…. there’s no where to go…. and… things have changed, and I’m unsure if….” He had nearly unlimited uncertainties, and he truthfully wanted to stop talking about his future— no matter what they said he could do, he knew it wouldn’t be possible without somewhere to live.

"Well, all I can say is that eventually you will figure things out." He said before downing the rest of his drink. "Let's talk about better things, I don't like the mood right now. Any hobbies?" He asked, turning his full attention to the guy.

“Hobbies….?” Lee took time to think about what he just said. “Nothing too hardcore… I enjoy travelling… occasionally.” He hadn’t been too far from the city since he went on his own, but just seeing everything there was to see awed him in an unexplainable way. “Otherwise…. that’s kind of all that I enjoy to do… I can’t really do anything else…” This guy isn’t so bad…

"Well, I like anything that calms me. Growing up as the youngest of four is really nerve-wracking. Meditation is not so bad, it's really yoga that's hard for me since I'm not that flexible." Cosmo thought for another second for other things he liked to do. "Other than that, I'm kind of like you since I can't do much in comparison to my siblings."

“I never grew up with siblings— since I was the only child— but my neighbor….” He paused heavily. “He was more of a brother than someone I just happened to get alone with.” I miss him…. “His own brother, though….” Thank goodness my father wasn’t like that.

Cosmo noticed as he didn't finish the thought but he didn't want to push for more information. "My name's Cosmo." He said, realizing he never introduced himself to the other man.

He pushed the other thought away and said, “…It’s nice to meet you… I’m Lee.” That wasn’t as bad as introducing yourself to Fiona, was it….? He found himself grinning, and he flinched. What….? What is there to smile about?

"Lee…" He said, testing the words in his mouth and felt how it rolled off of his tongue so easily. "It's a fitting name." He said while quickly glancing him over, not trying to make it seem like he was checking him out when he was.

“Well, a name is just a name,” He shrugged, taking his cap off to fix his hair. “Yet, that name was actually my great grandfather’s middle name.” I’m surprised how much has come outta my mouth in the past ten minutes…. more than I’d probably say in five weeks…

"Lucky, I can't even remember my grandfather's first name. We weren't that close to that side of our family." He told Lee, ordering a water so he wouldn't leave drunk. "I hear you have an accent."

He was shocked on how quick and abrupt the subject changed, but went along with it. “Yeah…. I grew up far out in the west…. I miss it, though, to be honest. Well, I miss everything I had….” A subtle, strange pang in his gut told him something that he was afraid to think about.
