[ it's more like four hours later, mostly because he doesn't want to seem too eager, and then he gets a little distracted with other stuff, but eventually he shows up and takes a seat on one of the stools up at the bar. There's a flower in one of the buttonholes of the denim shirt hanging open over a worn tank top, something pale pink and heavy-headed with ruffly petals. If it has a name, he has no idea what it is. ]

[Kyna doesn't really expect him to show up right on time, but she watches the door all night anyway. Apparently she doesn't have the same concern about seeming too eager. The second she sees him, she heads over, grinning when she spots the flower.]
Ooh, you're trying to look fancy for me, huh?

What? No.
[ He pulls the flower from its buttonhole and sets it on the bar between them. ]

[She wasn't lying—she really didn't need anything complicated, and judging from the way her smile softens, he nailed it. It's sweet in a heart fluttery way, and she tucks it into her hair above her ear.
Huh. Maybe he could be romantic if he tried.]
Short notice? It's been like four hours.

Short notice? It's been like four hours.
You got here two hours ago, don't be dramatic.
[ Obviously the two hours that happened before that point don't count. It's fine. The real story here, anyway, is the way she looks with a whatever-that-is at the side of her face, but he's content to say nothing about it. ]
So. What's on the menu tonight?
[ Read: Does he get to pick his drink, or is it dealer's choice? ]

You wanna make something else, make me something else. I ain't picky.
Sounds good.
[ Sounds more promising than ominous to him, honestly--but he's got an iron stomach. For now, he takes a sip of his drink and the corner of his mouth curls up, teasing. ]

Very. [ And after another sip-- ] Bet Nathan showed you, he knows a good rum'n coke.
[ Which doesn't do anything to teach him a lesson. It might just encourage him. ]
Well, someone's gotta. But someone must've trained you.
