She yelled defiantly, and then quickly ran off to the other end of the bar to get the footstool so she could reach the beer tap. Seven is a perfectly reasonable age for a bartender... right? Silly first post is silly!

"Marlene, where's Tifa?"
Having just walked in the door of the bar, Elena stifled a chuckle as she watched the small girl standing up on a stool in a bid to serve the man alcohol.

"Did I hear my name?" Tifa poked her head out of the kitchen. "Oh no. Marlene! I told you not to use that stool! The leg's..." there was a crash. "...broken..."

Marlene steadied the stool with a crate of bottles and climbed on top as she carried the glass up to the bar by placing it around her mouth and sucking all the air out to make it stick onto her face.
"Draught or bitter mister?" She asked the confused-looking man, just as from the back came the sound of Tifa's voice "Oh no. Marlene! I told you not to use that stool! The leg's...".
//Crash//
Marlene looked up and saw the lights above her swimming around as a voice somewhere said 'holy crap! Why are you letting a kid serve drinks in the first place?!' Then the glass finally fell away from her mouth with a succinct 'pop'.

Tifa wasted no time in rushing to Marlene's side, hoisting her to her feet.
The man she had been attempting to serve gave her a shocked look. "Holy crap!Why are you letting a kid serve drinks in the first place?!" he spluttered. Tifa fixed him with a glare. Not just any glare. This was the glare reserved for the drunks that wouldn't leave at closing time. This was a Glare "I don't believe that is any of your business. Now, would you kindly back away from the bar? I'm dealing with a possibly injured child here."
She threw a glance at Elena. "Could you perhaps escort him to a seat?"

"Marlene!"
Elena reached the bar only to see Marlene lying on the ground and the pint glass coming away from her mouth with light pop. She nodded as Tifa asked her to escort the rather un-caring man to a seat.
The man however, already shaken by Tifa's infamous time-to-go-home glare, usually reserved for Reno, took one look at the angry Turk and silently exited the bar. As he did, Elena walked around the bar to see Tifa trying to help Marlene up.
"Is she okay, anything broken?"

As Marlene was gingerly guided to a seat on the other side of the bar, and quickly provided one of Tifa's magic all-healing milkshakes, she turned to look at the nice lady next to her who'd stared out the other man. "Hello," she said to Elena, "I'm Marlene, you're wearing a Turk uniform, do you know Reno?" Marlene knew Reno, Marlene knew Reno as the red-haired man who hung around the bar and made 'passes' at everything (whatever that meant), and he'd also written his PHS number on a napkin and given it to her 'for when she was a bit older, eh? ' She quite liked Reno.

He came to the bar at the same time each day. He'd always arrive exactly half an hour after the doors opened, and he always sat at the bar, occupying the end stool on the right for the whole of the evening. Today was no different. As per ritual, he sat down and placed his money on the wooden surface and patiently waited for his drink to appear.
It appeared that there had been an incident already this evening, as the barmaid was bent down behind the bar seeing to the little girl that normally served him his first drink.
"You alright, little girl?" he asked.

Working... - or saving the Planet again... Not sure what to make of the man that had just walked in, Elena smild at Marlene - choosing to answer her question with a nod.
"Mmm hmm, I know Reno; he's one of my friends in work, how do you know him?"

Clearly, Marlene was ignoring her only regular customer, and so Tifa was the one to fix the usual Scotch on the rocks and sit it in front of him.
"She had a bit of a knock, but she's alright. Now, are you going to settle that tab tonight?"

Marlene blew bubbles in her mils and smiled at Elena.
"Reno is my boyfriend," she said happily, not seeming to notice the odd expression spreading suddenly across Elena's face.

"Yes indeedy," he grinned as he pulled out his wallet. "My chocobo finally came in a winner this afternoon, and I reckon I've got enough to get me a tab for another couple o' nights! That is, if you'll let me, Ms Lockhart," he added as he offered her his betting winnings...

A cough, no a possibly choke was the only sound apart from Tifa idly chatting with the customer at the bar.
"Marlene, what d'you mean Reno's your boyfriend?"
Oh Minerva, what was he after telling her?

"Y'know, I almost don't want to take that money. But since I am carbon based and need food to live, I guess it'll have to do." Tifa took it from him and grimaced.
"Ugh. Stinks of chocobo..."

Although Marlene couldn't quite understand why the nice blond lady had gone so red.
"Marlene, what d'you mean Reno's your boyfriend?"
She sighed and pulled the face that only young children can pull when they realize they know more than the adult they're talking to, and very slowly and carefully said to Elena.
"Well, when a boy and a girl like each other, then they..."
