Kayla Sockum:
Kay has her hair tied back some gold-light makeup, diamond earrings and several layers of shielding, veiling practices upon herself.
She's wearing a pink dress and some matching shoes. She's at the bar conversing with the person behind it.
Micah Bradley:
What was obviously a tourist from somewhere in the world walks into the bar, a casual and easy smile on his face. He was wearing a bright green vest over a black shirt and black slacks. Clubbing attire... Or so he thought. He walked up to the bar next to the lady in pink to order himself "An American beer, please." as he called it. His accent? Strong British, so he even sounds like a haughty tourist.
Kayla Sockum:
At the intention of barrister, Kay says "Well at least, you'll have one simple order." Then she turns around and look over to the man speaking British.
"That's a wide range of choice to give your barrister."
Micah Bradley:
He grinned at her cheerfully. "I am not familiar with all the different brands just yet, but I wish to try them all, so! I suppose it was a different way of saying 'Surprise me'."
Kayla Sockum:
"There's that, I haven't had a beer in a long time...." At that moment something with mint leaves crushed at the bottom of a glass arrives at her intention. "...and I think I'll keep it that way for a while more."
Micah Bradley:
"Oh, no reason to drink beer because some idiot in a green vest decided to try them." he chuckled and winked at her. His demeanor was not flirty at all, very much just casual and friendly. But then, being foreign, you never know, do you?
Kayla Sockum:
"It's good to try new things, most of the time." Kay takes a sip from the drink and seems a little surprised by the intensity of what's in the glass. "Taste like Candy canes with extra lemon."
"Have you been in town long?"
Micah Bradley:
"That actually sounds good." he said, eying her drink curiously. "Oh, just about a month."
Kayla Sockum:
"What brought you over here? Business?" Kay ask conversing casually, taking another sip of her drink. "And it is, I just didn't expect it to be quite that exact taste."
Micah Bradley:
His own beer arrives and he took a sniff before taking a gulp and grimacing. "You could say that. I'm visiting family."
Kayla Sockum:
"I hope that'll work out for you, Family can get complicated sometimes." Another sip from her drink.
"No problems with the current going on in the city? No robots raining on your parade?"
Micah Bradley:
"Family always is. But yes, it worked out alright. Infact, I decided to stay for family." he smiled. "Robots? There are robots in Philadelphia?"
Kayla Sockum:
"Yes, the PPD decided to let Robots do their job and it's not been going too well, to be honest." Kay sigh, another drink from her glass, a slightly bigger one. "There's news and clips about all of it, I personally haven't met one of those models."
Micah Bradley:
"Huh. Like, Robocop? How strange. I have not met any of them either. But I suppose I don't really go where the crowd goes. Are they raining on your parade then?"
Kayla Sockum:
"Nah mate, it's a proper tussle for our rights and freedom." Kay says in, possibly, the worst ™️ british accent
Micah Bradley:
He barked out in laughter at her attempt. "That was a pretty good one. You are funny, I like that. It is curious that for a country calling itself the Land of the Free, you guys aren't really that free."
Kayla Sockum:
"Trust me, I know." Kay replies and raise her glass in some sort of ad-hoc cheer and takes a drink. "I should have said that we're having a bit of a tea party, that would've been better."
Micah Bradley:
That earns her another chortle. He shook his head and took another drink before tapping his glass with his fingers. "Not a fan of tea, I take it?"
Kayla Sockum:
"Actually, I probably drink the best tea in this town." Kay says, biased toward the homegrown leaves. "I was more referring to the historical event."
Micah Bradley:
"I knew what you meant." he replied, taking another drink. "Name's Micah. If you say you drink the best tea in town, you must know the best tea shops then. Any recommendations?"
Kayla Sockum:
"I don't actually, My friends keeps me away from the main groceries in general." A grin. "My girlfriend grows tea in her garden and I am very biased on my preferences there."
"The Green Room probably have some pretty good tea though, now that I think about it."
Micah Bradley:
"The Green Room. I will keep that in mind. I would love to meet this tea grower." he grinned back, impressed that someone actually grew them in their garden.
Kayla Sockum:
"At this hour, she's probably already asleep or heading there." Kay checks the time on her phone. "Which reminds me, I should probably start heading home myself."
Micah Bradley:
Micah nodded and smiled at her. "It was nice chatting with you. Have a safe journey home."
