[Gift] Surprise! Its a trap!
Ignition always says that Damon may as well be in a long-term relationship with his 'goddamn bar' with how much time he puts into it. Damon can hardly disagree, even when he isn't there physically, something to do with the bar is always in his hand or his vision. He never knows how to just take a break, Probably because he's always been kind of work-driven. When you have a natural affinity for looking after people, jobs pertaining to that hardly feel like work. Its why being a Dominant was easy, and its why managing and owning a bar is even easier.
Thankfully when he had gone back to Divine'N'Demonic, Little Blue was back so he was wrong in his assumption of sickness. She did seem to regard him a little strangely when he came in though, he can't really get his head around WHY. Today Damon is in the bar but only really as back-up. They have a newbie who seems extremely nervous and he essentially wants to be there to pick her up should she fall over, like a toddler. Due to this, he's actually doing a little of what he USED to do when they had opened, talking to the people who come in here. Typically this is done from behind the bar and to the stool, but it was table to table before.
You can imagine his surprise seeing a familiar face at one of the tables.
"Hello Damon~"
It's Momo, He blinks a little, somehow surprised that the women literally two minutes around the corner could somehow be here...inside his bar...that he told her about explicitly.
"Well well, I'll give you points for surprise, Certainly couldn't have predicted you" He chuckles softly, leaning against the edge of the booth.
"Good, Its best that way. More fun~" She smiles, and waves a hand at him "And before you ask, I dont need anythin'. They're already on it"
Damon honestly doesn't think he can guess what kind of things Momo would drink, He's usually quite good at it but this woman is very much an enigma. Or perhaps a puzzle that he is...far too stupid to click together just yet. He's also surprised she's chilling alone, but honestly he's single as well so he shouldn't assume others are paired, its presumptuous. Technically, for the moment, she is NOT alone, since Damon is here. Momo pats the seat next to her innocently enough.
"You should sit"
"Ah ah, Not on the clock" Damon tuts but it has far less firmness in it that he usually would add.
Momo smirks and raises an eyebrow, sitting back "Well, The little ones tell me you're technically not on the clock, just here for moral support~"
Damon coughs a little and shakes his head, a teeny laugh of disbelief leaving his mouth "They want me to take a break so bad" He rolls his eyes and Momo leans forward a little tilting her head
"I'd say the opportunity for that has arisen now, Right doll?" She flicks her eyes to the seat opposing hers and raised both eyebrows in prompt. He considers moving back to the bar to watch over everyone working from a distance in-case someone needed help. He glances back to Momo, she's got him in a death grip in the most metaphorical sense, so he sits and she clasps her hands together on the table. As he sits, the new worker scurries over putting down a drink and plate in front of Momo and murmuring a soft 'enjoy!'.
Damon leans over and murmurs "Hey, Relax. You're doing great" before nodding back to the bar and letting the nervous wreck of a bun scurry back. He does glance curiously over at what was set down.
"Interesting mixture"
There happened to be a Clawdka and a slice of Apple Pie in front of Momo. She hums a little and releases a small chuckle "I'm a baker, and i like strong drinks, I figured it would be a missed opportunity if i didn't take them both while i was here"
"I hope for the sake of my neck that you enjoy it" Damon isn't really worried, just a bit of light banter, he knows the chefs work hard. As Momo very happily starts on her Apple Pie, a different server drops a Sinnoman Whiskey in front of Damon.
"Wh-"
They point at the bar, Where Ignition is waving enthusiastically and with utter exaggeration.
"Of course" Damon sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose briefly. Momo glances over and stifles a laugh herself.
"You know, Its just my hunch, but this seems like that 'firework enthusiast' you mentioned" She says it sweetly, but Damon knows shes probably amused.
Damon makes a 'come here.' motion with his hand and Ignition skips over with innocence.
"Whats this?" He questions and Ignition shrugs lightly.
"I dunno i figure if you were on a date you should probably have a drink, Otherwise they'd think you're a stick in the mud ALL the time" Ignition grins and Damon swats at him which earns him another laugh from both Ignition and Momo.
"Ignition do you think i would be on a date at my own bar?"
"I wouldn't put it past you, old people like sentimental places-HEY" Ignition began another taunt but Damon flicks his exposed shoulder. He pinches the bridge between his eyebrows and sighs.
"Momo, Ignition. Ignition, Momo. This is the annoying child i mentioned."
"Yeah no duh! I know who Momo is, Damon, Raine and Lady have mentioned her like twice. Or maybe more i don't really count..." Ignition trails, frowning slowly in thought
"He doesn't seem so annoying to me~" Momo said sweetly, glancing over Ignition properly, who seemed to stand more upright upon noticing this.
"You haven't spent extended time with him" Damon grimaces, he glances at Ignition and then past him for a second and grins before sipping his drink finally. "Don't you have a girlfriend to be annoying instead of me, and Momo?"
"Pff. I don't know WHAT you're talking about. I do not." Ignition crosses his arms and Damon quirks an eyebrow, pointing briefly with his free hand.
"Then who's that?" He asked, Ignition turns to see Aria waving from poking her head through the front passageway of the bar and Ignitions cheeks darken with flush.
"NICE MEETING YOU I NEED TO GO NOW BYE" He immediately speedwalks out towards Aria and Damon snorts a laugh into his glass. What is he here for if he can't embarrass the kid a little?
"Ah, He must be the lively one Lady mentioned. She can't always keep an eye on Raine so i hear she's made her own little gaggle of friends, I suppose that would be him" Momo regards the others she mentions warmly. She does seem like someone who would know many people, and almost always in a positive light or perspective.
Damon sits back properly, Ignitions goal was accomplished in a strange way, as well as the rest of the staffs. Damon is finally fucking relaxing. "He does get into trouble"
"Don't they all?" Momo pointed out, sipping her own drink. "Didn't WE when we first got here?"
"Touche" Damon nods.
Despite how awkward it could've been. They seem to have just had a genuine night of talking over drinks. Damon may have been tricked into it, but that IS his fault for coming in off the clock, he had no real excuse to say no...nor did he REALLY want to.
