Leo gave her a concerned look. "is he very big? I am a terrible fighter, he will not hurt me if he finds out I helped got you a job, will he? I do not like fighting."

"No! He is not very big," Svetlana answered, laughing just a bit. "He thinks he is big, but he is not. He is just loud! I will not let him hurt you," she promised, holding her hand to her heart. If she had anything to do with it, her brother would definitely not be laying a hand on her new friend. She'd stand in between them if she had to -- he had yet to ever raise his hand to her.

Leo smiled at her, chuckling a bit. "Okay, I trust you. This is America, you have a right to do whatever you want anyway."

"And that is why I am doing this," Svetlana exclaimed with a bright smile. "This is America! I am an American girl now, and I will do as I please!" She laughed harder, the effects of the vodka finally starting to get to her. "This, my friend, was a good idea."

"The vodka or the job?" Leo asked her, leaning over the bar and tossing the towel over his shoulder with a grin.

"Both," Svetlana answered with a smirk. She lightly drummed her fingers against her cheek as her hand settled back into the palm of her hand. She could definitely get used to this place -- especially if everyone was going to be as nice as Leo. "What time does this place close?"

"2 am every night," Leo replied with a sigh. "it's tiring, but I do not think you would have to be here that late every night, if at all."
Charlie the bartender got Leo's attention, asking him to run downstairs to grab more bottles of rum. Leo gave Svetlana small wave. "be right back!" he headed backstage before making his way to the cellar, handing Medda the application on the way.

"Okay..." Svetlana sat at the bar as she waited patiently for Leo to return. She looked around the crowded room and smiled to herself. The place seemed decent enough, and if everyone else was as nice as Leo was, she didn't think she would have any problem getting used to the environment. These were all some pretty big "if"s and she knew that, but it almost seemed worth the risk.

Leo came back with a crate of rum and Medda on his heels.
"Is this is your friend, Leo?" she asked him, smiling at Svetlana and holding her application.
"Yes. She is a very hard worker," Leo told Medda with a grin, unloading the rum onto the shelf and winking at Svetlana.
Medda glanced at the application. "Leo's word is good enough. Would you like to begin tomorrow?"

"Yes!" Svetlana said quickly, a smile immediately coming across her face. She picked her elbows up off of the bar immediately. Had to make a good impression, after all! "What time will you be needing me?"

"let's say around 12, Sweetie." Medda replied, smiling. "Leo's such a nice boy, isn't he?" she wiggled a wave at Leo and disappeared backstage.
Leo blushed. "Medda likes all young guys, you should see her when Jack Kelly comes through." he explained.

"What does she do?" Svetlana asked with wide eyes. A woman of Medda's age with younger boys? This was scandalous!
"She makes you blush though," she added playfully. "It must not be bad, then!"

"She's one of the dancers. She is very well known," Leo explained, pouring himself a glass of water. "if you have to be in at 12, you will not be able to accompany me to the animal doctor office. Maybe another time?"

Svetlana couldn't help but pout slightly at this piece of news. She was looking forward to spending more time with Leo the following day! "I would like that," she nodded, letting out a soft sigh. "I would be lying if I said this didn't make me a little bit sad. That is okay, we will see each other soon, yes?"

Leo nodded, smiling at her. He had wanted her to spend the day with him, too. "I work here too. I will see you when I come in tomorrow." That way, he could get to know her better without the worry of running into this brother of hers.
