Firecracker stepped into the pub, her eyes trying to adjust to the smoky darkness. It had been quite some time since she had been in this place, let alone Brooklyn, and it still felt as strange to her as it did the day she left.
She walked over to a table in the corner and sat down with her back to the wall. Glancing over at the bartender, she ordered a drink. Now, to wait....

Nevada made her way into the pub, hurriedly pushing past some patrons til she saw her.
'holy shit,' she said, smiling as she sat down. 'sorry I'm late Lucy refused to go down for a nap and now she's cranky and crying with Tristan,' she said, not even entirely sure if her old friend knew what she was talking about.

"Oh... Well, it's okay," Fire replied, blinking a couple times as she tried to process everything her friend has just told her. She watched her friend sit down across from her at the table and couldn't help but smile. "I had to practically sneak away before Jonathan could ask any questions, too."

'So had to sneak away from your boyfriend did ya?' she asked, assuming that Johnathan was her boyfriend. Nevada was about to order a beer but stopped, wondering of it was okay to drink while breast feeding.
'where do I start?' nevada asked, turning back to her friend, 'what the hell have you been up to since I last saw you?'

"Yeah, he's my boyfriend," she answered as she took a sip of her beer. It still didn't feel right for her to say, like it was some sort of foreign concept. "Well, umm..." She paused, thinking of what to say to her friend. "Since I last saw you? Well... I met Jonathan and moved from Midtown to Lower Manhattan. That's really about it."
She rested her arms on the tabletop and looked across at her friend. She could practically feel the knots growing in her stomach. Slowly, she could remember exactly why she had let herself fade out of Nevada's life. Maybe this was all a mistake. "What about you? You're... you're married now?"

Nevada nodded, her right hand twirling her wedding and engagement rings around her finger-a habit she picked up. 'Husband and two kids.' Nevada said laughing slightly. 'Lucy is all mine....Mikey he's Tristan's I'm just his step mom.' Nevada said, wrinkling her nose because it made her sound so old.
'Tristan convinced me to stop stealin, his boxing pulls in enough to support us. It's been....nice.' he said, though she missed stealing sometimes. Sitting across from her she was trying to wrack her brain for WHY they had stopped being friends, truthfully Firecracker had been one of her only friends andthey had lost touch. 'I missed ya, ya know that don't ya?' Nevada asked, never having been good at sentimental shit.

"I missed you, too," Fire confessed softly. It almost killed her to say those words, almost like a knife going right through the center of her chest. She picked up her mug of beer and took another drink.
"You seem happy," she finally remarked after a slight pause. "Very happy."
Her eyes fixed on the handle of her mug, which she began to run her index finger down slowly. "I'm glad."

Nevada furrowed her brows as she watches Firecracker, 'everything okay?' she asked.

She picked her head up quickly. "Hmm, what?" She asked before putting on her best smile. "Of course! Everything's great." She glanced down at her beer mug and shrugged.
"I was just thinking, you know, about how... about who the first person was to mix all this stuff together to make beer. Either that person was a genius or completely crazy, right?" Yes, nice save.

Nevada wasn't expecting that to come out of her mouth and laughed once she realized she was probably being serious. 'well I'd say they're a genius,' Nevada decided.
'I was debating on whether or not I could drink while breast feeding but fuck it I'm going to. Haven't gotten a good buzz in ages.' Nevada said before ordering a drink.

"I'm going with genius," she agreed before finishing her beer. "I'm empty anyway..."
She signaled to the bartender before smiling back at her friend, "Let me buy you a drink."

Nevada shook her head, 'are you sure?? If you buy this round I'll buy the next,' she said, leaning over the table quite excited with life at the moment.

"Sounds like a deal to me," she agreed, her smile returning as she, too, leaned in towards the middle of the table. "Just don't get me TOO drunk. I don't want to have to answer too many questions about my whereabouts later."

'you shouldn't have said that because now I'm determined to get you drunk off your ass,' Nevada said squeezing Firecracker's hand briefly.

Fire blushed at that, her head shaking as she tried to disguise it with a laugh. "You're going to get me in so much trouble if you do that," she reminded her. The bartender arrived with their fresh round of beers and handed one to Nevada. "Shall we?"
