Connor leaned against the bar with a soft sigh as he glanced upon the gathering of patrons that were actually here for drinks instead of the casino below the floorboards, wishing that he had something more to do than serve drinks to the regulars of the establishment. Everyone had to pay their dues before advancing in the organization but that didn’t stop Connor from being impatient that he had been the gatekeeper for the illegal gambling operation with nothing more to show for it than the tips he’d brought home. Scattered attention was once again gathered as a man walked through the door, touting a bland looking suit and a cheap haircut that he was only used to seeing from one kind of person. “Evening, how can I help you, officer?” Connor offered a fake smile towards the man, pushing himself upright and sliding a hand underneath the counter. “Just got off shift, heard good things about this place and decided to come by.” The false smile persisted even as Connor wrapped his hand around the revolver that was placed under the counter just for situations like this, knowing that if any law enforcement were to attempt a search on the premises he would have to be the one to take the fall. Part of the duties, even though he’d never killed a person before in his life.

“Relax, kid.” The older man said in a gruff tone, nodding towards the underside of the counter, seemingly knowing what the bartender had planned for him. “I’m just going to order a tequila sunrise, extra ice.” Connor’s brow raised slightly at the order, not expecting this man to know the first part of the entry code. “Alright, then. Coming right up.” Removing his grip on the handgun, he slid a finger over towards the button that was positioned nearby, awaiting the second part of the entry challenge. “Hey, you got a bathroom in this place?” There it was. A part of Connor wondered exactly who or what this officer was connected with to be gaining entry to a place like this, but it wasn’t his job to question patrons. “Down the hallway, to the left.” Without another word, he pressed the switch that unlocked the electronic locks on the door, the detective pushing himself off the stool with a nod and walking off towards it. At least he didn’t have to shoot anyone and spend the rest of his life in a prison, but something about the excitement of the moment was enough to give him a second wind. Now if only someone equally as interesting would come stumbling into the bar, he’d be able to go at this all night.

Xander had spent the last four nights at Ritual drinking his problems away. Or attempting to, he hadn't had much luck. Xander had been on his way there again tonight but opted against it. He didn't need virgil roach thinking he had a problem. The rugged bastard might cut his hours or worse - fire him. He couldn't afford that cozy hotel without a steady flow of cash.

He'd try out a different bar tonight. There wasn't a particular one he had in mind, unfortunately. So Xander settled for the first one he set his sights on. Tucked away at the end of one of the lower district's many streets, the bar he chose hardly stood out.

He pulled open the door, stepping inside as the officer made his way to the backroom. Knowing better than to ask questions, Xander kept his curiosity to himself. The redhead plopped down into the stool that the officer had previously been preoccupying. Quietly, he looked around the establishment.

The inside of the bar was just as plain as the outside. Like someone had deliberately designed it to leave as little of an impression as possible. But that could have been the artist in him being overly picky. Not that it mattered either way. So as long as their booze wasn't mediocre, Xander didn't care.

He cleared his throat, "I'll take an old fashioned." the signature drink of the Belmont family. "Make that two old fashioned." the quicker he could forget himself, the better.

Only mere moments passed from the time that Connor had made his request for a more interesting evening to the sounds of someone new entering the establishment. “Thank you.” Connor muttered underneath his breath as the stranger made his way towards the counter, already sizing him up and determining that his luck must have been incredible tonight to have such an attractive patron to dote over for some time. “Hey there, what can I get you?” A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he leaned against the counter, awaiting to see what the redhead would order, luckily not having to wait long for the request to be made. “Way Back When, coming right up.” Connor had a lot of time to come up with nicknames for drinks with how little he often got to service real customers, glad that he had the opportunity to break one out for once instead of simply sliding a beer across the wood. “You’re either having a really good night, or a really bad one.” It didn’t take him long to return with an Old Fashioned in each hand, setting them both in front of Xander with a brow raised out of curiosity. Of course it was the job of any bartender worth a damn to play therapist to his patrons, but he couldn’t help but be slightly more interested than usual due to the fact that the subject happened to be both handsome and potentially vulnerable, the kind of combination that was prone to making bad decisions from time to time. Now if only he could be that bad decision, then perhaps this job just might be worth the trouble after all.

“In either case…” Connor grabbed two shot glasses from underneath the bar, reaching behind him to pluck a bottle of whiskey off the shelf, nothing expensive but not the cheap stuff either. “...here’s one on the house.” Both glasses were filled with a couple tips of the bottle, sliding one across for Xander and keeping one for himself. Connor didn’t waste time tossing his back, reactively wincing as the alcohol burned at his throat, but quickly managing to right himself and provide a warm smile once more. “Wanna talk about it? I have all the time in the world.” He glanced towards the meandering patrons that were scattered around the tables, noting that most of them were actually undercover security that were placed to prevent police activity, much like himself.

Way Back When? That was a new one. "Nice name." Xander nodded and rested his elbows against the counter. Hand over fist, he pressed his lips against the back of his fingers. "My nights been....stormy." he replied dryly.

Golden orbs followed Connor as he worked the bar. It seemed like he'd been bartending for a while. Without experience, there weren't many who could pour so skillfully. From one bartender to another - it was impressive.

Xander reached out for one of the finished drinks. Inches away from the glass, his hand came to an abrupt stop. "You got the okay to be handing out free shots?" despite the question, Xander didn't hesitate to slam back the whiskey. He grimaced, welcoming the liquor's burn with a "Whoo!" as it spread through his chest.

He sat the shot glass down and reached for one of his other drinks. Xander lifted the cup to his lips in silence. Around them, Connor's question lingered in the air. After a long and slow drink, Xander finally answered. "Get a couple more drinks in me, and maybe I'll tell you." he chuckled dryly.
