The doors are closed and locked and it's just the two of them, a bowl of soapy water ont he bar. Charlie's stopped before cleaning, sat down on a stool with her shoes kicked off and her chin cradled in her hand. She's pulled the pins out of her hair and it's tumbled around her face. Cadi's with Geoffrey so she knows that she can relax. She arches an eyebrow.

"Okay, let's start easy," she says. "Screwdriver, please."

"I could have one, yes," Jon said, pouring his own screwdriver. It was a bit lighter and fruitier than he would have liked on his own but drinking with someone else always meant a bit of compromise.

"To...learning, then?"

"And new friends," Jon agreed. "It's not really all that bad, considering," he said, looking at the glass with its silly garnish and light, airy drink. So much different from the taverns he was used to.

"Not something I'd order outright, though."

"I would probably drink cider or ale. My brother, Robb, has a cider mill here on the island."

It was amazing, actually, and Jon was hard-pressed to remember ever having anything better.

"Sometimes mulled wine, too, especially if it was a bitterly cold day."

"I've never gotten a headache from the cider," Jon said, laughing a bit. "Now, wine? Wine tends to do terrible things to me. I can't ever drink too much of it."

"Alcohol can do that to a person," Jon said sagely. He thought, of course, of King Robert Baratheon, whose taste for wine ultimately did him in.

"I've always been able to hold my cups well, though, so there's that."

"Send you home and make sure the little one's settled in too," Jon said, shaking his head once in affirmation. "Least I can do, since you gave me a job."

Jon always remembered kindnesses, few and far between as they were when he was back in Westeros.
