Open to Anyone

Cole goes into Hollister's, takes a seat in a corner booth so he can have a good view of the door, and orders up the first round for the night. He's taking Hips at her word that they're on the house

At times, the Nexus bar gets fucking boring. Or annoying; it varies, considering the only thing to do is talk with the bartender when she's around or listen to the thousandth "question" that's really just a thinly-veiled plea for attention. Forget that noise.

With this in mind, he comes to the actual pub and has a seat a table over yonder. He's in plain clothes, and actually fits in well with the "older" crowd here.

Cole gives him a head-nod of recognition. Considering the mood he's in and his headache, that's pretty damned polite of Cole.

"Booze is free tonight. Just tell the bartender you're here with me," he says.

Basch peers up from trying to decipher the menu -- which apparently isn't happening any time soon -- and nods. It's that guy again.

"...my thanks."

Someone's got hook-ups. Oh, and is also everywhere.

"Don't thank me. Thank the owner."

Occasionally, Donna requires that she and her children be in different places. Or she will go insane. Particularly lately. So! She has made her way down to the pub, and is, due to the car parked on the street, not actually drinking anything alcoholic tonight.

This presents her with the difficulty of trying to think of else. Give her a minute.

Cole watches her come in, giving her a rather half hearted once-over and a nod. He recognizes her, but not well enough to greet her, really.

She's hard to miss -- or, well, fairly easy, given she's not especially tall and 'skinny as hell and blonde' are not really distinctive traits. She glances over at the nod and tilts her head slightly in response with a tired half-smile. She's pretty sure she's probably seen him before, and given the surroundings assumes nexus, but hey, she hasn't been a regular there for months.

She collects her drink (virgin daiquiri, for the curious) and settles at a table to smoke and ... sulk, pretty much.

Nothin' to see here. :D

Cole watches her collect her drink and head to the table, more out of boredom than anything else. IF she really knew him, she would know something was up. Otherwise, he would have been flirting with her when she was a foot into the door.

But for now, he's part of the smoke and sulk club.
