    Shielding her eyes from the sun, Lucy walked into the bar, pushing the swinging doors out of the way and ducking between them. She waved at some of the people as she past them, before walking to the front and smiling at Charlotte. "Hey, Charlotte, how're you?" She asked, waving at Charlotte's son and leaning against the bar.

    She had just finished class for the children and decided to pay her friend a visit on her way home. "Anything interesting happen while I was gone?" She asked, noticing a few passed out drunk on the tables, but it was nothing unheard of in the bar.

    Charlotte smiled as she rinsed some glasses in the sink then shook her head, "Nothing today, it's been pretty quiet around here the last two days," she admitted as she set them on a clean towel upside down so they could dry. Ever since she'd taken over things had gotten pretty quiet - not that she was complaining much it let her son nap or play around when he wanted. She's been considering setting up a small play area for him behind the bar but there was so much he could get into that it didn't seem worth the risk. "My brother in law is comin' through soon I got his letter this morning, does that count as news?"

    "Ace?" She asked her, reaching behind the bar for some pop. "It's been a few years, what brings him over?" She asked, drinking a bit and setting down the bottle. "One of my students told me Andrew Oliver had been arguing with some man in town, I was hoping he wasn't in here causing you trouble." She said to her, picking up a paper that had fallen off the bar. "I'd hate for my father to come in here and have to arrest that man again, with such an awful temper he's got too."

    "Yeah, he is coming to pay his respect to Chris," she said lightly with a small smile then sighed, "He did argue a bit but only because he was barely even concious coming out of my bar," she shook her head at the thought, "but not much issues other wise, he just needs to figure himself out before drinkin'," Charlotte herself didn't like the flavor of ale or beer.

    She shook her head. "Shame that man goes on like that, he must have some reason or other." She murmured, drinking more of the soda. "How soon you expecting him? He coming to stay in your house?" She asked curiously.

    She nodded,"Probably within the next day or two; I'll set him up a bedroom when I get Amos to bed, the little one has been fighting me on bed time - he is used to having more time with me but since Christopher passed he doesn't sleep very well. I have to put him to bed then come back to work till almost one in the morning then go to bed and start all over around 11 in the morning," she sighed. The job wasn't ideal but she wasn't making enough to even consider hiring some one - she had her son to take care of the last thing she needed was split pay. Soon Amos would begin school, albeit a little early it would do good to have him learning things sooner, "I was thinking after his third birthday I'd put him in school - do you think you could work him despite him being so young?"

    "And Andrew has a good head on his shoulders, it's his piece of work father that causes his doubts,"

    "Sure I can. I can test him, see wherever hes at and fit him in. Hes a bright boy, I'm sure he'll be just fine." She nodded, taking another sip. "Here's a coin I owe you for this soda," She grinned. "Its been a few years though since youve seen him, Ace right?"

    She took the coin and put it in the till before walking back over, "It's been three years or so since I've since he's been here, he was out at the battle on the coast," she said to him as she looked at her son, "he's never met Amos, and it's been six months since we put Christopher in the ground; I'm surprised he's coming at all," hearing that she'd be able to teach Amos made her feel better. "I've already gotten him to count to ten, and I try to read to him when I can but time is very slim around here,"

    "I'll work with him, I've started teaching the Richard's boy early. I'm sure he'd like the company, and Amos can join right in." She smiled a little, shaking her head. "I heard that battle caused a lot of damage, lots of death. It's good he's alive and able to travel." She murmured. "I wonder how Amos will take to him."

    She nodded a little and sighed as she rubbed her neck then poured some beer into a glass holding her hand out for the money before setting it on the bar and putting the money into the till. "I don't know, he is very wary of strangers but Ace looks like his dad did - so we'll see I suppose,"

    "It'll be interesting to see," She said, walking around the bar to sit down on a stool. She looked up as Andrew came in, red in the face and barreling toward the bar. She turned, watching to see what happened. He had clearly been drinking, but Charlotte took care of the bar and could take care of him if need be.

    Crossing her arms over her chest she didn't have time for drunk men causing problems within her bar, her husband didn't stand for it and neither would she. "I think you've had enough, Andrew, why don't you hole up in the sleeping room down the hall and once you've sobered I'll make you somethin' to eat," she said to him hoping he would just take the offer, but she knew him. Hell she'd grown up with him. His temper was one of the worst in the town.

    "don't think I need you tellin' me when I'm done, last time I checked your husband was dead and you're just supposed to give me what I pay for," he said as he lifted his eyes to meet hers before setting down three coins, "and I want beer,"

    Charlotte looked at him then let out a deep breath before handing her son a cracker over her shoulder as he reached for one. "I think this is my bar and I'll do whatever the hell I please." she told him as she shoved his coins back towards him. "I've tried being kind and you've rudely refused, so now I'm kindly asking you to go to sleep in the sleep room or get the hell out of my bar." she said in a low voice as she stared at him then shook her head, "you're better than this Andrew - and the only one who doesn't think so is your piece of shit father keep this up and you'll be no better than he is,"

    She could see Andrew tense at the mention of his father, the town drunk. The one who had worked him to near death just to pay for his habit, it all ended with new sheriff but the angst that had built up in Andrew hadn't yet gone away - infact it only seemed to get worse with time. "Suppose I'll take my business else where then," he muttered as he stood up.Charlotte sighed a little as she looked at him then shook her head, she knew men like him. Hell, Christopher had hung out with Andrew throughout his youth but he made a living for himself to prove to her daddy that he was worth her time - and so they married. Four years of marriage and he was dead all to a little misunderstanding leaving her with everything on her shoulders.

    She raised her eyebrows, watching as he went. "Why are you like this?" She asked him curiously, looking at Charlotte. Charlotte worked hard for this bar, we all knew it. For him to come in and treat her like a stranger, felt kind of strange to witness. "Not like you don't know her. You should work on that, become a better person, and work to tame that temper of yours."

    Andrew rolled his eyes not really wanting to hear what anyone said anymore, he didn't didn't their advice. He never asked for it so why did they feel like they had to impart it on him? He walked out of the bar the doors slamming behind him - he'd come back the next day then hopefully she'd serve him. His life hadn't been an easy one, he'd worked for the taylor and stables just to support his fathers alcholism since he was as young as eight years old. Often being beaten if he didn't listen to what his old man said - thus he took on a cold attitude, not letting anything get to him; even if it really did, no one else would know.

    Charlotte let out a groan, "he's been getting worse," she told her, "don't know what to do about - maybe if he got a real job he wouldn't be so bitter,"

    "He has been. It's sad to see him like this." She shook her head a bit and got an idea. "Charlotte, I'll see you later. I'll come by to work with Amos a bit." She said, before standing up and following Andrew out of the swinging doors. "Andrew!" She said, catching up to him, who had made it down the street by the corner store.

    "Andrew!" She called, walking faster so she could turn and stand in front of him. "I need your help." She said to him, holding her hand up to stop him from walking. "I need someone to do some work on the school house, and I know you've done a bit of work and can help me."

    He looked at her and snorted, "Why do you want my help?" he asked as he slowed down then look at her, "Sure you could find someone else to fix it for you, tons of men around her at your beck and call, what makes me so good for the job?" He didn't get it, he just wanted to have a beer and relax but everyone seemed keen on making him do things he didn't want to. He'd spent his whole life basically doing what someone else wanted him to - he'd be damned if he was going to just lay down and do what others wanted of him without a legitimate reason.

    "I want you instead." She said simply, giving him a polite smile. "You're capable, experienced, and strong." She explained and shrugged. "And you aren't busy. I could spend time tracking someone else to do it, but why when I have you who's more than capable and available?" She asked, walking along side him in order to keep up, but his legs were longer than hers and his strides quickly outmatched hers. She turned and stood in front of him, blocking him from walking further. "Would you be so kind to help me?"

    He sighed, "fine, but I won't do it for free," he said to her as he scowled a little at her making sense - he was hoping for her to babble on so he could say no - but why? He knew some of the kids who she taught and they needed it so he'd do it.

    She smiled a little and nodded. "Of course, I wouldn't ask you to work for free." She said to him seriously before smiling again. "But it is a lot of work, and it will take up quite a bit of time." She explained. "I'll pay you well of course, but I don't want to tell you after the fact." She said to him. "If you'll agree, I can show you now what I need done. And you can start tomorrow?"
