He had to step away from Oregon for his classes. It was not that Oregon did not offer them but he was a little more comfortable in the south and thus had chosen to take the rest of his bartender classes here. It was true that the hotels were crap but he could see himself through it. As he looked around he left a message for the both of his sisters. "Be back that way in a couple of weeks and then I can finally buy me a spot to have my bar built." He needed workers though which was another reason why he had came to the south. He had a few friends but he also knew some people that could benefit from a job right now and that was what he wanted to do. As he stepped out from meeting one of them and receiving a yes he rounded the corner and smacked into someone.
"Sorry," he said as he looked up and noticed the young man. He did not look he could bring any harm to Cas but it was not like he had felt the smack anyway but it was always good to play along so as not to arouse suspicion. "Are you alright I really need to pay attention to where I am going." He leaned down to pick up his phone and make sure that his message had got sent to the both of them and after seeing that it had he let out a sigh of relief. "If anything is broken I'll pay the hospital bill" he said jokingly but he was serious.

Dax did not trust his father so he had came down south because his father had vowed never to step foot here. He had even invited Noah but she had said it would be bad for her complexion so here he was trying to figure it all out when someone bumped into him. It was times like this that not having an ability sucked so he found himself having to be nicer than he truly wanted to be. "It's alright man," he said as he looked at the young man. "I'm as lost as a sad tourist to tell you the truth."
It did not take long to tell that the man was on a mission of sorts from the way he picked up his phone and looked it over. It was cautious and kind and that was rare. "You know what nothing is broken and whatever you were into seems to be important so don't let this ruin your day." It was never easy to draw them in if you were an asshole right off the bat. He stuck his hand out. "I"m Dax by the way and I'm totally lost. Not exactly from around here but I am glad that right now it's not showing."

He nodded. "Not that hard to spot a tourist really but thankfully these days it's not too hard to figure out just where you need to be. If you do not mind giving me a few minutes to finish up what I was doing then I can help you?" He had always seemed to have a way about making friends easily but he was not so sure that this would go so smooth but one never knew unless they tried or so someone had said.
"You can call me Cas though I prefer Caspian because it's my full name and no one in my entire life has ever truly called me it." He felt that he needed to be honest because that was how the best friendships were made after all. "I'm a bartender well in training." He shook his head again. "Well I am working on finishing my license so that I can legally serve." He had the skills but he refused to do it illegally. "So you want to come with or stand here lost?" He was not on a deadline but he did want to know if trying to persuade the guy to come with him was worth it or not.

Not knowing the guy for two seconds and already it seemed like he was doing the right thing. "A bar that seems..nice and the way that everything is seems like you might be also about to get a lot of business. I know that a good bit of people like to drunk to let the stress of the day melt away so that should keep your business flowing. Everyone will have a slow day but that is nothing if the business is good."
Caspian? He raised an eyebrow to look at him and he shook his head. "You don't look like someone who should be named Cas or Caspian for that. Remind me to scold your parents if I see them." He was joking but that was how it was in the real world once you entered it. " Your name of course is better than mine and yes I'm coming." He did not think that standing here looking dumb was going to get him anywhere. "I'm glad you don't mind the company," he said in an attempt to be charming. He had the ability to be charming he just had no idea if it would work. "I'm the company and I'm good company too."

It was nice to talk to someone who did not seem to have the ability to make him feel bad about owning a liquor business. He laughed at the fact that someone named Dax would make fun of his name but he actually agreed. "I look like more of a Nick but I do not let it get to me too much. Everything that we do after we are born is what matters anyway." He pointed ahead and then began to walk.
"Being in a new place can be scary but it's no one's fault. It's especially crazy when you have to take it all in at once and from the looks of it you seem to be alone too so no one to cuss out if you are all by yourself." Having friends was important but it was also hard. "If you need friends you could always take a class. I mean my answer to everything is to take a class but that does not work for everyone." He did believe like he expected most others did that you had to find what worked for you and while that could be hard once you did everything else was easier but finding what worked always did seem to take a while.

"New places don't scare me much I mean they make me anxious but I look at that as a different thing than scared. Heights might scare me but I have never went up high enough to find out so even that is in one of those you never know unless you try categories," he said as he smiled. He almost let out a light chuckle at Cas' suggestion that he take a class on how to make friends and then shook his head. "Sadly I am not sure that is how it works. I know that some people would argue with me but if you use class etiquette then people don't get to know the real you do they?"
That was also something that he thought he should work on. "Friends at least where I am from tend to become enemies too soon and I don't want that. Life is hard as it is that no one needs to add anything else that ends up as nothing else but pressure and I feel if we reach out and try to make more friends like that then that is exactly how we will end up." There he was being a little overboard with things but it was a fault that he would overcome hopefully later in his life. "Anyway you said something about being a bartender, does that mean that you do the hiring as well?"

He nodded. "I did it because there are a couple of drunks in my family and I figure if they are going to buy alcohol from anyone it might as well be me right?" He was partially joking but it was the truth especially with Decipher because at least that way he could make sure that she got home safe enough.
"Other than that if you are looking around for my qualities I am afraid that while my heart is good my qualities of goodness are far and few between and that is the truth." He was never the type to lead anyone on and he seen no reason to start now honestly. "Never met anyone who seemed so interested in bar tending though, do you need a job or something?" It was not like if the guy was he could afford to be too picky because the truth was that he did need to get around to eventually hiring someone even if in his head that seemed so far off he knew that the reality was that it was not. "If you need a job I am willing to give you one without any experience at all. I know it's not the smartest decision but everyone has to start somewhere right?"

He nodded pushing his blonde hair back as he spoke. "I do need a job actually." As his sister Noah would say you needed to look around and see what could become of everything and stop living in the moment so much because the moment was fleeting and who needed to weigh themselves down with that. "I'd actually take the job if you are sure that you are offering it but I have to warn you that I don't have any experience but on the one hand I am an extremely fast learner."
Okay he was not sure about the last part but how hard could it be to fix some drunk bastards some drinks? He did not think very hard at all so he spoke. "Being friends with the boss comes with benefits right?", he said as he laughed it off but he was serious. "I just mean that it's best to know your boss and your co workers so that you can work well together and make the establishment one that has a good reputation and when people come in they can see how well we do work together." He also thought that he should mention how he came with help. "I also have a so called knock out for a sister if you think that sex appeal would help to usher the customers in."

Fudge knickers he had not even thought about hiring people. Well no he had thought about it but he had not actually started yet and now a guy was offering to come work for him? He smiled at that thought. "I have never been the type to boss anyone around but sure and benefits yeah I mean they are pretty basic at the moment until I get the money from my investor but it's not like you would end up with nothing."
He would feel bad if that happened so he was going to make sure that all of his employees could get basic dental and a little bit more than basic health care as long as they were working for him because in his mind it was the least that they deserved. He took a minute to extend his hand. "Welcome aboard I guess?" It was not the most convential way to hire someone especially right off of the street but that was what made him so sure of it. Nothing he had ever planned had worked so it was time to go random as heck with everything and see what happened. "When can you start?" He laughed at his own question. "I just mean I hope that you can start sooner as opposed to later."

"Yeah I'm not exactly employed at the moment so if you need me to start whenever you get back where you are going then I can." He liked to think that he could learn on his feet so this was a good chance. "I could possibly study up on the things that I do not know now while you are taking care of your business and then I will be doing work in a way for my boss." He stared at him a little longer than he should have but he did not care when the looks were there what were you supposed to do.
"Anyway I did not mean to stand in your way so let's get going so that you can not be anymore late than I might have already made you." He did not know if he would get anywhere on time but right now he wanted Cas to. "Do you know if anything stood behind your name when your parents named you. Were they a happily married couple or was it just a one night stand kind of thing." That made him sound like an oops baby but Dax did not mean that. "I'm sorry that came out a whole lot more rude than I intentioned it too."
