Specs walked into Irving Hall, feeling completely out of place. He wasn't too sure what compelled him to ask Tag to come here out of all places. That, and he's never exactly set foot in the place. It wasn't his scene. Then again, there was a first for everything.
He sat on a stool, glancing at the entrance every now and then, hoping that Tag would show up soon.

Tag had spruced up her best outfit and managed to find a comb to make her hair look somewhat presentable. She scrubbed her face until it glowed, and cleaned the dirt out from under her finger nails. She was horrified she let her appearance get so hideous.
She walked into Irving Hall, looking around shyly until she noticed Specs. A smile automatically came onto her face and she began to make her way over to him. Of course, she also couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The last time she saw him, she had been crying her eyes out.

Immediately spotting Tag, Specs stood up from his seat, took off his hat and ran his fingers through his hair. He wanted to look somewhat presentable, if possible. Tag, however, was radiant.
"Y-you look real pretty," he stammered, grinning as she moved closer to him. He felt himself suddenly get nervous, not entirely too sure of what to do with himself other than stare at her.

A massive blush took over Tag's face, though she smiled even wider at his compliment.
"Thanks." She managed to fight the urge to correct his grammar. She looked really pretty, not real pretty. Just this once, though.
She cleared her throat and stood up a bit straighter. "It's nice to see you again." She had been practicing that line the whole afternoon. She thought she delivered it rather well.

Specs nodded, still taken aback by how gorgeous she looked. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her and he couldn't help but stare.
"Are you feelin' better?" he asked, offering her a stool on the bar.

"Yes, quite." She sat down, trying to muster up all the sitting manners she had learned in London. But, in newsie apparel, she looked rather silly sitting like a proper English lady.
She looked over at Specs, her brow furrowed. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I don't really know what happened to me. I can usually control it better than that..."

Leo was sore all over. He had been carrying boxes of glasses to and from the bar to the supply closet all night, and he wasn't sure if he could hold on for much longer. He was so excited that he finally got a job- he could sell newspapers by day and be the bartender's assistant by night- but this was EXHAUSTING work. Leo wasn't afraid of hard work, but it was going to take some getting used to. He had stopped by earlier in the week to see if Medda was looking for a janitor or anyone to do hard labor, and her bartender requested an assistant.
Leo placed a clean box of cups on the side of the bar and began to unload them. The bartender was taking his break, and Leo had to mend the counter for the next half hour. He unloaded the box while waiting for customers to approach the bar.

Specs shook his head, glad to see that Tag was a great deal better. He hated dealing with crying girls, especially when they weren't supposed to be.
"Well, just know that you can always talk to me," said Specs, trying to sound understanding. "I might not necessarily say the right thing, but I'm here for ya. So, uh, want anything to drink? It's on me."

"A sasparilla." Tag replied, her brow furrowed. "Are you sure? I mean, I can get it."

"Don't even worry about it," said Specs, winking at her as he made his way towards the bar. "A beer and sasparilla, please," he yelled over to the bartender.

"You got it!" Leo replied back, filling up the glasses and bringing them over. "Oh heya Specs! How you doing tonight?"

Tag sidled over to the bar to join Specs. She realized how thirsty she was and wanted that sasparilla NOW. She stopped in her tracks when she saw who exactly was giving Specs the drinks...
"Leo!" She couldn't help but voice her shock and, honestly, excitement. They'd had such a wonderful time at the zoo only a couple hours ago. All the animals, laughs, and shy smiles were still fresh in her mind.

"Tag," Leo greeted, immediately smiling in her presence. "You look wonderful, how are you?" It didn't even occur to him exactly what was going on here, or that Specs' drinks were for her AND him....
