a simple kind of man | TRISTAN

A straight line. That was all he needed. It wouldn't be hard to hit, he was sure. The little red pool ball was his last before moving on the the eight ball for the win. Bending over and carefully lining up his shot, Taze grinned and looked at his brother, @tristan, as he pushed the stick forward. The ball fell into the pocket with a satisfying klunk and he pumped his arm in celebration, "That's what I'm talkin' about." He cocked a brow as his brother before moving to try and line up a near impossible eight ball shot.

"Every time, man." Tris chuckled, watching Taze line up the shot and taking a drink from his beer. It was a good thing he wasn't a sore loser, otherwise the brothers probably would've killed each other years before. One of these days he'd figure out how to beat Taze, but today was not that day. "I'm gonna figure out how to beat you one of these days. Might only do it once, but still."

Taze shook his head and propped the pool stick against the wall so her could finish off his beer, "Oh come on, you know that ain't happening." He grinned. Tossing the bottle into the trash can, Taze waved at @jazlyn to order two more for the Hephaestus brothers, "Dude, how did you get so lucky? I mean, you're dating the girl who owns this place." Taze shook his head, "Still don't get what she sees in you."

"If I knew I'd tell ya man. Still tryin to figure that one out myself." Grabbing the bottles from Jaz, Tris nodded his thanks to her before passing one to Taze. "Doesn't matter much as long as you get cheap beer and somewhere to hang." Looking around for a sec, Tris made sure that Annabeth hadn't shown up yet before taking a swig of his beer. Sure he was just mouthing off with his brother, but she'da probably smacked him over that one. "Alright, another game or are we gonna go terrorize Jaz for a while." Good thing she knew him, or Jaz would smack him too. She was funny like that.

Taze shook his head, walking over to the bar and sitting in a stool ear their table, "I am bored of always beating you." He complained, grinning mischievously at his little brother, "Besides, I wanna know what you are thinking about that whole Brax thing. I haven't heard too much about it." He frowned at the beer in his hand, trying to figure out how it was almost empty already.

Tris shook his head at Taze, downing the rest of his beer and putting the glass back on the bar. "Dunno man. If the couple rumors I've heard are true, then he's a dumbass. Somethin about the Thorn girl and one of his officers, right? Jaz and AB said he was in here trashed the other night." No, the only things tris had heard were from random customers and the girls. Until tonight he hadn't hung with the guys and none of them were gonna just call for shits and giggles. "why, what's he gotten himself in to now?"

Taze shook his head and shrugged, "Man, he is just falling apart." Getting another couple of beers, he blow out of his mouth to avoid sighing, "He finally realized he like Melanie, though, so i guess we won't have to hear about that anymore." He laughed and looked at Tristan proudly, "And Deacon owes me ten drachmas." Another sip of beer and he continued, "Anyway, that dude we works with is all butt hurt over Melanie choosing Braxton after some huge accident involving arrows and Braxton losing his cool. I don't know too many details, only the ones a heard between gulps of PBR."

Tristan laughed and finished his beer, not sure what to think about the whole mess. "Won't be seeing him any time soon then. Thank the gods that he finally got his shit together enough to get it over with."' Jazlyn was grumbling about cutting him off already by the time she brought over two more beers, which just made him shake his head. "Well, here's to the new couple. May they not kill each other before we can figure out what they did to Dante."
