“Don’t worry, we got pretty good protection in there. Strict rules about taking it at least across the street.

And now I gotta ask about your brother. What’s he called?”

[Welkin Bennett. @LonesomePaladin]

"A bar with a name I like that. Sounds like a place you're likely to lose some teeth just by catching someone's eye.

Family's name is Bennet. My father was a pastor and trust me I got off easy with my name considering what my brother got named."

The young lad stifled a laugh.

[—𝓑𝑨𝑹𝑩 𝓦𝑰𝑹𝑬. @BARBEDBOUNTY]

“Friends call me Barb. Nice to meet you. I own the Hammerhead, couple blocks from here. Had to get some more lemons and limes in a pinch.

Welkin, huh? Family name or something?”

[Welkin Bennett. @LonesomePaladin]

"That's the first bit of good news I've heard all day. What's your name Miss? Mine's Welkin."

[—𝓑𝑨𝑹𝑩 𝓦𝑰𝑹𝑬. @BARBEDBOUNTY]

“Of course we do. Got orange juice, too, if you’d rather.”

[Welkin Bennett. @LonesomePaladin]

"That's might kind of ya. Don't suppose you have a bit of root beer at your bar?"
