Sarah gave a little flourish of her hand and walked through the open door, only to literally almost be bowled over by the first person that saw her "oh good God I'm fine I'm fine in back yes Silas is fine" she shooed away the group of servers that suddenly formed
Silas followed behind her, getting a hug from a familar older woman. "Ahola Marie, I am ok..just had sleeping problems." That was the best way he could spin it as he made his way to his seat at the counter and let out a sigh as he set his cane down and relaxed into the chair.
Marie clung to him for a few seconds, then pulled away, grumbling something about heart attacks. Sarah sat in a chair next to him and spun around "welcome back!!!" she smiled brightly, like he never left " coffee??"
"Oh shut up. I dont want coffee. I already got drink covered..I raided the liquor cabinet..sorry." He patted to his coat pocket where his silver flask was. "I would take some water though, oh server of mine."
"I feel betrayed!!!!" she feigned delicacy and placed her hand on her heart " oh my word I can't believe" she broke out laughing and went to grab a glass and a water pitcher "please don't tell me you grabbed the sailor Jerry's. That stuffs only for when I get sick"
"You drink booze when your sick? No longer your sick for ages." He said as he sipped on the water than pulled out the flask to take a drink out of that. "Cheers to soriasis of the liver." He then drank his water again, slipping the silver flask back into his pocket. "And no, I only took the Jack Daniels."
"hey now, a shot of good rum can clear you right up and get you feeling warm and fuzzy in the inside. I stand by my methods" she crossed her arms and grinned, pretending to raise a glass when he declared cheers
"Nah, its only gonna make you want more rum, then you'll feel better because your drunk off your ass. Its snake oil all over again. But please, stand by your 'methods'. " He shot back as he drank more of the water, hearing the ding of the door as a larger family came in to get breakfast.
Sarah looked at the family as they came in, then cursed quietly "hold that thought, I got to go ahead and take of these guests. I'll be riiiighhhhhttttt back" she tapped the table and made her leave, soon her voice could be heard happily greeting the guests and getting them situated
"take your time." He took anouther sip of water before listening to make sure she was still a distance away before popping a Non-24 pill, just to make sure his sleep schedule will get him through the day. He fiddled with his cane, the top which he holds shaped like a raven. He traced the lines with his fingers as he waited.
It took a few minutes for her to take food and drink orders and pass it off to another server, but soon enough she was tapping the counter top and taking a seat next to Silas again "miss me??"
"Never." He joked as he heard a small buzz on his phone and recognized the tone, how he tell if it was an alarm or and a phone call based on sound. "I gotta go to work. I dunno when I'll be back. But don't go super crazy mom on me." He got up, giving you a squeeze on the shoulder then walked off to work.
((I'm so so sorry)) Sarah was tempted to ask to walk with him, but she stopped herslef and blew out a breath. Instead, she picked up the water glass and spirited it away to the dish pit before continuing with her day, taking on the large family that came in before Silas left
He did return, eventually, it was pretty close to closing when he did show up, he looked slightly dissheffled. "Who knew changing up my schedule could make life really weird." He walked back to his seat, and chugged the rest of his flask down. "Sarah you here?"(YOu fine, just giving you reminders))
Sarah was, but in the back of the house doing manigery things. Keagan, who would be there after close to help shut it down, tapped the table like he had seen Sarah do many times and said "I'll go get her" before hurrying off to the back
"Thank you Keegan." He let out a little sigh. At least the boy tried to act how Sarah did. The tapping sounded more like a thud, proably he bi on his fingernails. He set the flask down and reminded himself that he had the week off after he told Hannibal what happened.
Sarah finished up and headed up front, taking her hair out of her messy bun. Tapping on the counter, she let herself plop onto a chair next to him with a wordless sigh. She sipped on the cup of coffee and rested her head on the table. She had been there allllllllllll day, and was tired.
"Someone exhausted? Cant blame you...Im pretty tired to, I kinda forget where I was going and wandered around the town for a solid 2 hours." He gave you a pat on the shoulder and smiled. It was a really weird trip.
She turned her head and ran her finger around the dim of the coffee mug "that's where you were????" she couldn't help but chuckle "I had theost needy table today. Let me know when you're ready to go and I'll just.... Sit here"
"Im ready when you are, Miss Sarah." He joined you on laying the head on the table and sighed. "I have the next week off." He said calmly as he scratched at his beard, he might shave, maybe get Sarah's opinion on it.
"why???.......... Oh" she said as it hit her. She took a deep breath and changed her position, supporting her chin with her hand as she looked him over "......... So I guess we better grab some more of things... That is if you're staying during that time" she added hastily "but you don't have to if you dont want to" she added, her tired mind telling her to just shut upppppp
"Yeah, we can do that." THe air turned awkard as he rubbed his neck. "How needy was needy?" He said, hoping to get mouth motor running so he could get himself going, then everything will be ok-ish again.
Sarah had her face buried in her arms and was groaning internally. When he skied the question, she just looked at him and said "they kept trying to get my attention when I was with another table, and then claimed I was the rudest server they ever met be a use I wouldn't drop everything and run to them. And then they didmt believe that I was also the manager, and they walked out on a $150 check"
"Oh, lord, that is expensive." HE chuckled a little as he let his hand rest on your shoulder, his soft hands he hopes at least makes you feel a little better. "I don't think your rude, if that has any good to that. Im pretty sure Keegan dosen't think your rude. It kinda sounds like my mom." He didn't really talk about his family, they didnt like him for anything besides his money and he really didnt like them.
It did make her feel better... And it made her blush red. She placed her hand on top of his and sighed "I know I'm not rude it's just....." she sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose "God people have no decency. I think I'm ready to just go the the kennel and go home"
"eh, we can wait till tommrow, your gonna take the day off, that is an order. Kidd won't be pissy that he stays in a better place for anouther day." He smiled a gentle kind of smile as he stood up, grabbed his cane, and stoood next to you as he waited for you, his hand had moved to her other shoulder
"oh noooooooo don't make me have a day to myself where I don't have to wake up early as fuck" she joked and got up, stretching "alright I'm ready. I gave to make some arrangements to the schedule so there isn't an empty shift" they would throw a fit, but orders are orders. She allowed herself to smile, feeling better already
"Good, now come, I've got to get some shit from my house." He smiled and walked towards a vechile, not yours, but he thought it was your vehicle and tried opening it. He frowned and called back. "Can you unlock the door?"
Sarah stifled a laugh and said "I would.... But it's not my car" she pressed the unlock button, and the chirping noise came from her car... Two spaces over. Placing a hand on his arm, she started to escort him over
"Oh, I see." Again his face began to turn red, this time from embarrassment, as she led him to her actually car. "Now to think of something actually to do with the day off." he spoke as he hoped into the car and waited for you.
Sarah got in the car and tilted her head to the side, thinking. What could she do one her day off??? Normally she literally just slept the day away and lounged around in her pjs, not really doing anything. But she couldn't do that with Silas.......... "I don't have a clue. I'll tell you what, since I'm taking this day off under your 'orders' what do you want to do???" she asked with a smile
"I dunno, that is why I asked you." He said, decieding that if she wasn't gonna tell they would do nothing, he still had anouther 4 days to do whatever he wanted. "Its under my orders since you wouldnt do it any other way." It was his turn to smile.
She groaned and tipped her head back against the car seat "Technicalities!!!!!!" Sarah claimed "but for real I never do anything on my day off. I don't even change out of my pjs......." she trailed off and blushed slightly "Im a very boring person outside of work i'm afraid"
"Than that it is what we will do." He smirked and closed his eyes, hoping for some kind of resemblance of sleep. Thought his brain had other idea, Silas began to hum the entire ride home.
Sarah pulled into the driveway and got out of the car "buuuuutttt...... I don't know. I don't want to be boring" she opened the car door on his side "maybe after I get some sleep I'll be able to give e you a straight answer may????"
"Alright." He grabbed his bag since they had stopped at his house first and now were at her home and his cane. He hoped out and made his way to the door the best he could, as this place was still weird to him.
She made sure Silas had grabbed his bag and sighed in relief. Sarah didn't even remember going over to his place e, now that she thought about it. She tended to just go in autopilot after working a long day, not even remembering what she did sometimes. Shaking her head with a sigh, she opened the door and looked over at Silas "that first step is raided off the ground a smidge" she reminded him
((in other words I forgot XD))
You told him the warning a moment too late. He tripped and about fell on the face, catching himself by instinct alone. "HOLY HELL!" He yelled out. "That was amazing!" He stood back up and coughed, fixing his shirt, and carefully got up the steps and into the home.
Sarah was there to see the whole thing " you almost busted your face open on the front steps!!!" she couldn't help but give a little laugh when he fixed himself up and went inside "you can't just act like it didn't happen"
"I can and I will." Silas gave her a smirk as he entered the front room and sat down, he looked pretty weary, like today took a lot out of him as he wiped his eyes, setting his cane on the floor to do so.
Sarah took one look at him when he sat down and patted his shoulder before heading to the kitchen wordlessly. A few minutes the scent of coffee started to waft into the living room. She poked her out out the doorway "I'm running a blank. How do you like your coffee??" normally she could tell you off the back of her hand, but it really had been just a long day
"Dark and Bitter. Just like me." he joked and gave her a small smile than went back to resting his eyes, at this point he was laying down on the couch and had taken off his jacket. He was fiddling with a small toy as he worked, it was like a rubix cube but more simple.
She poured him a cup and made herself some tea. Setting his cup down by his hand, she tapped the rim to draw his attention to its position and sat down herself in the armchair. Watching him mess around with the cube " don't fall asleep there..... You'll fuck up your back. Trust me"
"I already know. Trust me." He mocked your voice as he sat up and gladly took a drink. "You know I drink other things beside coffee, right?" He chuckled to himself and took anouther drink. "Today was really hot, wasn't?" His shirt was sweated through.
She gave him a grin and said "best thing about being an employee is no one looks at you funny when they find you in the walk in. I was cool allllllllllll day" she sat back against the couch and sipped her tea. Speaking of..... "plus you were the one who asked for almost nothing but coffee for a solid year. So tell me Silas, do you really????"
