Ian nodded a thanks and raised a glass toward the bar only to see Bruno was busy with other customers and not looking his way any longer. Ian took a sip A strong malted ale. It would be a long time before he finished this, not having drank in a few years. The sip might be all he could muster up the courage to do. Ian paused for a moment and lookedd back to the bar. There, talking to Bruno. Was that someone else he new or was the sip of ale already playin tricks on his mind? Edited by ian dugan, Aug 31 2012, 01:23 PM.

The Baroness... again. Between ships, between jobs... again. It was becoming a dull pattern: find work, work a month maybe less, move on. And always in the center was the Baroness or Eavesdown Docks. Two of the places jobs seemed to be available on a more regular basis. Shifting her bag and guitar, Trina crossed the threshold of the bar and glanced around. She'd tried the 'scan the room and spot a captain looking to hire' routine, but it never did work for her. That didn't stop the casual perusal of the room with pale blue eyes. Satisfied that she was at least seeing no immediate threat, a fight about to break out or something of that nature, she turned her steps to the bar. Leaning against it, she lifted her hand to try and get the attention of the man behind the counter. After so many visits, she wondered if he'd recognize her. Not just that, if he did, he'd more than likely have an idea what she was getting his attention for. |

Tiring of the endless halls, Khei was almost elated to possibly be returning to civilization. Or rather what passed for it on the Baroness. She reached for the door and slowly checked to see if it was unlocked. |

Michael figured they were to be heading straight to work until two mugs were planted on the table. He inspected the liquid inside one of the mugs. "Guess we're staying for a brief spell then." As Becker's mug touched his lips he caught sight of Dugan's modest sip. Michael cracked a smile, and as a chain reaction of memories went through his head, he released an uncontrollable chuckle. First time they had met, a drunken Dugan had been found firmly on his pi gu in a space station. Then there were numerous other occasions where Ian had joined in with drinking festivities and always showed his reservedness regarding alcohol. It wasn't overly funny, Michael just found it amusing that such a characteristic had stuck. The mug had to be lowered as he regained his composure. "We do deserve a break though. Especially those of us who are probably still dizzy from a knock to the head and overworking themselves." Becker looked out the corner of his eye for recognition. "Doc and mechanic huh? Shame Sonya and Falstaff never followed up," a slight look of dismay crossed Michael's features, "I guess they got their own buisness." How things change. (OOC: @Ian - Let me know if you feel I'm misrepresenting your character there.) |

The Bar Bruno was still serving another patron when he caught sight of Katrina. He nodded at her in greeting. "Haven't seen that face for a spell. What can I do for you today, missy?" He spoke as if to an old friend, not as a bartender to a patron. Engineering The door cracked open and Khei saw beyond a hallway. The walls looked familiar; she quickly recognised it as the hall that ran from the main bar to the bathrooms. There was no one in sight. Edited by PMD14, Aug 31 2012, 01:36 PM.

Seeing the familiar hallway and knowing where she was, finally, Khei quickly left the maze behind her and headed toward the bar at a brisk pace, she figured there was some level of safety in the bar at least. With any luck she'd not run into her "old friend" again. She didn't trust her luck though. (OOCLY: Missed the edit or I woulda posted sooner XP) Edited by Khei, Aug 31 2012, 07:45 PM.

The irritation that had been hanging on Trina cleared a bit at the friendly greeting. The answer to her presence at the bar grew a little more friendly each time, but that probably wasn't speaking well to her ability to find and keep a job. "The usual, I'm afraid," she sighed, leaning just a little heavier on the bar. Months back, she'd taken to leaving the bulk of her things, along with her weapon, stashed away before coming in to this establishment. She'd yet to need the gun in here and it was a hassle trying to keep up with a trunk on top of everything else. "And that's dual purpose, sir. The usual in drink and the usual for work. I'm beginning to wonder if I need to start having background checks done on my employers. Last couple have... been a bit... 'handsy'." |

From the talbe Ian nodded once and looked back to Mike. "I may have us a doc. Be right back." The bandage from earlier that day was already gone and the swelling had gone down but the bruise was just now reaching purple. At least it wasn't the belly, he thought AS he walked the short distance from the table to the bar where an old friend was, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the last of his actual credits. He slipped them on the bar between Bruno and Trina. "Whatever the lady wants. On me ... within reason, its all I got." He smiled his crooked smile and waited for Trina White to say hello ... he didn't think he had done anything to her that deserved a slap in the face ... No, nothing to Trina. he thought wryly |

The Bar Bruno had turned towards Ian and Mike, opening his mouth, but the Captain had already been on the move, so the man had said nothing. He simply watched the exchange, waiting for them to finish - he had a word to share with the Captain. |

Bruno had been about to say something, but stopped short and so had Trina's full attention and was on the receiving end of a curious and expectant look. The voice and the creds slid onto the bar had her turning in surprise at the chivalric notion of a man paying for a lady's drink. Not that it wasn't unheard of, but it was rare for her to be on the receiving end of such an offer. The face she found caught her completely off guard. The eyes, the smile when coupled with the voice, all rang a bell in her memory. But where? When had she and this man crossed paths? Then it came back in brief, patchy flashes. "Left leg, gun shot wound, 23 stitches... but the name... " The words were whispered, spoke more to herself in an attempt to jar loose the name she sought all while her eyes studied the face even more intently. There was recognition in them, more when at last, the final piece fell into place. "Ian Dugan... Wuo duh tian! How in all the verse did you remember the name of someone who stitched you up and you never saw again?" Trina was absolutely astounded that he remembered her. How she'd finally managed to forget his face and let it fall into the blur of many she'd helped, let it fade and not wonder about his fate day after day was beyond her, but the trick was well learned. Now, face to face with him, she couldn't help but smile. "Glad to see you made a full recovery." The smile stayed, but faded as her brow furrowed when she spotted the telltale signs of a rather angry bruise surrounding a goose egg in Ian's hair line. "Apparently we're still getting into scrapes, though at least the results seem not to be as life threatening this time." *Wuo duh tian- Oh my god Edited by Trina, Sep 1 2012, 02:59 PM.

Ian nodded with a sly smile, thought he was already on the move. Something needed seeing to before their departure. "I don't forget a face, you'll learn that soon enough." He said, nodding towards where Mike was seated. He'd noted that Khei had just re entered, and so he directed her to the booth too. "I hate to be so rude, but I best excuse myself. My associate over here, however, most likely has an offer for you." He winked, nodding again at Bruno to confirm that the sit down would be catered to, and then hastily departed. |

Upon re-entering the bar, Khei did a quick sweep over the crowd of patrons to check for Freddy. She was relieved to find no trace of him. She just caught sight of Ian as he motioned for her to join them in a booth. She straightend her shirt and hair as best she could, though it did little to sooth her ratled nerves, and headed over to the booth, taking her seat. Er. Sorry that took longer than I 'spected. I figured you to be with th' ship. 'sup? She tried not to be obvious but she couldn't help but glance out across the crowd every so often watching for a face she didn't care to see again any time soon. |

Just when the captain was set to have a relaxing moment, Michael watched him depart the booth and wonder over to a girl at the bar. Is there anyone he hasn't met? As Mike tried to figure what was being said across the room, he was presented with a returning Khei who may have straightened her shirt and may have straightened her hair, but was soaked from her feet to up past her waist, as if she had waded through water at some point during her absence.
"Er, not much." He paused, taking in her her current state. "What's 'sup with you?" His look was one of slight perplexition as he considered Khei taking a dip with all her clothes on. It was enough to draw his attention from an exiting captain, and an approaching doctor. |

Watching Ian head off, Trina shook her head a little. She glanced towards the table he'd indicated, seeing a man and a young woman there. Before heading over she turned back to Bruno and scooped up the creds that had been laid on the bar and swapped them out for some of her own. "Bruno, I do believe you're getting too good at finding work for the wandering doctor," she chuckled softly. "I'll just do my regular. Black coffee, please. You know where to find me." Turning away from the bar, Trina crossed over to the table, pocketing the creds for Ian so she could return them when it would be least embarrassing. Shifting the load she carried, she paused a couple steps from the table, so as not to crowd the two at the table. By the way they were talking, they already knew each other, which was no surprise. "Excuse me, I'm very sorry to interrupt. Ian sent me over. I believe he's looking to bring me on as a doctor." Giving the two a smile, she nodded as she gave her name. "I'm Trina." |

Khei gave Mike a bit of a lopsided grin of her own, knowing how foolish she must look being wet as he was. Know how the past can come up an' bitechya in th' pi gu? Long story. Not really the time to talk about it 'bout now I'd wager. She smiled again as Trina introduced herself, providing a polite nod tho she remained quiet as she thought it most prudent to allow Ian and Mike to speak first given she was only freshly hired. |

The look in her eye indicated there was something to be looked at and when Becker turned to see Trina, he raised from his seat to greet her. Stepping out of the booth, he offered a hand to the newly introduced doctor. "Mike." Then as he looked around her and decided Dugan was hiding behind her, he found himself wondering where the man had got to. "Don't suppose that captain of mine said where he was going?" Once that issue passed, Becker seemed to realise something and point to the booth. "Please, take a seat." He was addressing both women. |

Trina took Mike's had and shook it firmly. "A pleasure, Mike. I'm afraid Ian didn't say where he was off to." Offering a simple shrug, she joined the two in the booth, careful to set her things where they weren't in the way. "I take it his running off without saying something is normal?" She'd already experienced it once in her life, but the way Mike asked about it seemed almost resigned to the act happening again. |

Once Trina and herself her seated Khei threw out her own quick introduction. I'm Khei by th' way. As awkward an introduction as it was, it was fairly obvious her social skills were lacking. She sat quietly, reduced to fidgeting without her computer. |

"Him having business and wasting little time with it is." Dugan may have been in too much of a rush to explain his actions to Becker, but Mike was confident that there was good reason for it. He took his seat in the booth, there was now little focus on either of the beer filled mugs behind him.
Becker felt awkward as he realised his faux pas. "Sorry, I should have introduced you two. Khei here is our.... good with computers... person." Mike stumbled over what to refer to Khei as but felt he had explained her position. Attention turned to Trina again. "So I'm assuming you and Ian know each other. Either that or he's got a hell of a six sense for doctors." |

Trina gave the woman a smile and was about to greet her when Mike spoke up again.
"Ah..." There was some hesitation, as she wasn't all that sure how to explain how he knew her. "Well, it's not that we know each other really. We met once, a good while back actually. I'm a bit surprised he even remembered me." Trina shrugged a little, glancing in the direction she'd last seen Ian headed and then looked back at Mike. "We met when I stitched up a wound of his on his leg. I put in the stitches, made sure there'd be no infection and never saw him after that. Well, until today." It sounded rather odd, the whole thing. But if she had a job with Ian as a doctor rather than a hired gun, she was fine with it. "How long have the two of you known him?" |
