And the Skies Turned Gold (Reboot) // OxO // Closed

Tohru almost dropped what he was holding, but he collected himself quickly.
"Oh, I don't know. I definitely mentioned you when I came in early," Tohru replied, trying to cover himself.
It seemed reasonable enough, right? Explaining himself, since he'd arrived early?
"So that's probably it."

"Yeah, and I'm sure I mentioned living with a roommate at some other point," Tohru added, though at this point, he was probably overcompensating and should have stopped talking.

'I'm sure you did?' What did he mean by that? Am I… am I that obvious? Tohru thought frantically.
Tohru gave a little shrug and went back to mixing drinks, a bit of color rising into his face. He did his best to smile back.

"Is everything alright?" Tohru asked, adding salt around the rim of one of the drinks.
He was being so awkward. This was his fault. All his fault…

"Ah, okay," Tohru said, flashing the other a smile, "Well, um, I'm going to go out and serve these drinks and check on some customers, and I'll be back up here soon."

Tohru went around, served those drinks, and checked on the customers. The ones who had been harassing Kira had left, and left a measly tip behind.
Tohru scoffed a bit and handed the cash off to Kira.
"Fucking shitbags," she murmured.
"It's probably my fault for being so rough with them, but I wasn't going to stand for that."
"No, that's okay. I really do appreciate the help. They're the ones to blame."
Tohru smiled slightly.
"Should I walk you home tonight?"
"Yeah, just to the split as usual is fine, thanks."
Tohru gave a nod and went on his way.

Tohru went back to the few customers sitting at the bar. While he seemed to be happily chatting with them, he suddenly really just wanted to go home, as he had pretty much reached his social limit for the night.
It would be much better to just hang out with Davin one-on-one, assuming he didn't act all awkward again.

Tohru went back to the bar, closer to Davin once he was done with his conversation. He smiled at the other before looking down to dry off some glasses that had been in the wash.
"What time is it?" he asked a little desperately.

"Oh, no. Not really. Just tired. Wondered when I'll be free to go," Tohru replied, shaking his head, "Hour and a half from now, assuming people don't try to stick around past their welcome."

"Ah, it's alright. But yeah, what would you like?" Tohru asked, giving him a smile, "Or is there anything on tap you'd like to sample first?"

"Alright, then, got your eye on something?" Tohru asked, "Take your time though."

"Yeah, um, sure!" Tohru replied, "Let's see, I'll just give you one of my favorites."
He smiled and went behind the counter to grab a bottle of coffee liqueur, Drestian vodka, cold brew, and just a little syrup to take the edge off the strong alcohol and coffee flavors. Tohru mixed them together, poured the drink into a glass, and slid it over to Davin.
"Hope you like it."

"Glad you enjoy it!" Tohru replied with a smile, "I'm not great at mixing drinks yet, but I've made this one a lot for myself."

"You can stay here until my shift ends, if you want. It's not that far off, and I don't have to close, since there are a couple of guys who usually come in and do the late night shift," Tohru said, "But of course, if you need to get home, I won't stop you either."

"Okay, cool," Tohru replied, a smile coming back to his face, "I'm walking Kira most of the way home, but she lives not that far from us, so it's not out of the way."
