[He'll be sitting at the bar minding his own business then. He decides to keep an eye on you, not for pervy reasons, but to check what you're preparing is right.]
[Well, if you define "right" as "very by the book" then yes. There's little in the way of art or spirit in her as she makes it, but the drink is indeed made to the almost exact specifications a compendium might tell you. And three minutes later, it's done, so she sets it down for Raven]
Here you go! Blood and Sand, all ready to go for your throat.
[He takes the glass and examines it for a moment before taking a sip. Everything seems alright, a bit too sweet for his taste buds with the cherry and orange flavour. But something is off.]
A book tells ya the ingredients, but not how ta serve it properly. Adding yer own personal touch is what changes a standard cocktail inta somethin' great!
My best tip? Have fun makin' it! If the instructions say shake it, do a little dance while you shake. It's entertainin' fer the person being served and it adds a positive atomosphere to the room, in turn, making the drink more enjoyable. Try doin' tricks like throwing the tumbler or juggling the bottle! Takes practise but it's impressive ta see!
[He thinks some more... what else.]
Oh! Little touches to the final product! See how this drink has a cherry and orange flavour? Drop a cherry into the glass with the ice or stick a segment of orange on the side! Maybe even a cocktail umbrella for the ladies who come in too.
You'd be surprised how often I get that, even back home. Guess I'm pretty much unique with this crop of red here. [And to go with the end of that, she flips a few stray strands of it over her shoulder. ...Maybe she should have put it in a pony-tail or something. Ah well.]
Pink though? I've heard that's getting more common back home, but I've never seen it.
I didn't know ya worked at the bar! And yer trainin' a new lass too... I gotta see this!

[Either way, she'll be taking the glass he has now. She'll get him a new one but it never hurts to be tidy!]

[And she's off, to make a little diddy she recalls from the book called a Blood and Sand.]

[That said, she does nod at the whole speech before then, putting that into her databank as some very valid advice for working here]

Though, I can't say I've ever seen someone with hair as red as yours before. I've seen all shades of pink, but bright red? That's a new one on me!
