[i]"Thank you," JT said as he sat and ordered a drink for both himself and the woman.
"D'you have a name, or does 'Beautiful' suffice?"[/i]

[i]She blushes slightly at the comment.[/i] "Name's Chloe. But..." [i]She looks you in the eyes.[/i] "...I wouldn't mind the second option either."
-
[i]"Alright Chloe. So what's a woman like you around these parts for? You certainly don't look the 'Western gruff' type, more an 'Elegant Angel.'[/i]
-
[i]She blushes a little at the 'elegant A angel' part, but otherwise ignores it.[/i] "Well, I haven't had anything good to drink in a while and I haven't really got anything better to do."
-
[i]"Ahh, I gotcha. What's your favourite drink?"[/i]
-
"Whiskey... Definitely whiskey."
-
[i]"Aye, Jack Daniels is great. Crown too."[/i]
-
"Indeed. But, seeing as I don't want to get drunk off my ass, I'll pass for now. Last time I got my hands on a bottle of it... Shit happened."
-
[i]"Oh? What happened, if you don't mind me asking?"[/i]
-
"Shit I really don't feel like discussing. But I bet it's not hard for you to figure it out..." [i]She takes a drink.[/i] "And, to be honest, I don't even remember half of it."
-
[i]"Yeah, alcohol's a hell of a thing. Last time I got drunk... -blam!- that was a bad week."[/i]
-
"It always seems that alcohol leads to either the best or the worst nights of your life. One extreme or the other."
-
[i]"Mine's usually a strange combination of the two."[/i]
-
"Strange as in the best become the worst?"
-
[i]"Strange as in great fun but I feel horrible afterwards."[/i]
-
"Horrible because the hangover or because of what happened?"
-
[i]"I feel like a piece of shit afterwards usually."[/i]
-
"Hm... I guess I could understand that from your perspective."
-
[i]"Yeah. Just a fair warning, don't let me drink too much. I don't get violent, but a code of honour ceases to exist."[/i]
-
[i]She smirks.[/i] "And who said I care about a 'code of honor'?"
-
[i]"Because last I checked, you don't want to have a cowboy trying to get in your pants."[/i]
-
[i]Her smirk widens[/i] "Oh? Who said?"
-
[i]"General assumption. I'm forty even though I look twenty, fam."[/i]
-
"And?"
-
[i]"Oh jesus christ help me... You saying what I think?"[/i]
-
"Depends what you're thinking."
