" ... Hey ficus, how come you don't have any family that comes by? Are they all, ya' know- or do they just not come around?-" {^~ he asked starting to decorate the bar ~^}
William
Nah I feel that. Love the western accents/
Irene
Ficus only shrugged. He walked around the bar to put the broom back to where it's supposed to be.
"From what I know they are gone, I did have a lot of siblings though so maybe they're out there somewhere." 
He didn't really speak with emotion just a "That's, that" Tone.
Gerardo
" I ain't got none- watched what happened to them, closest I got is the friends I keep for longer then a couple weeks" {^~ he said shrugging before sitting down at the customer side of the counter cause he didn't like being behind the counter ~^}
Irene
"Sounds like you need to learn how to keep some friends." 
Ficus said bluntly, since they were in an area with no other dragons he uncurled his tail and let it rest on the floor. 
"What did *You* Do to keep losing these friends, kiddo?"
Gerardo
" I didn't like being in one place very long, wasn't easy when you thought people were out to get ya, they didn't understand my humor and thought I was being rude, thought when I was playing I was tryna pick fights, after that kept happening it just kinda- made it so i didn't see a point in friends really i guess-" {^~ he said pushing a gem around on the counter as he talked, his ears twitching before going back slightly as if he was keeping something else from that little list from ficus and felt bad about it, ~^}
Irene
Ficus raised a brow, he tried to look sympathetic but it just made his face feel odd so he went back to his normal expression. 
"Well friends are important, you can rely on them and stuff." 
He wasn't to sure what to say as he could feel Okapi hiding something but he didn't want to press. 
"Friends are good is what I'm trying to say."
Gerardo
" I see that now- but younger me mostly saw em as snitches-" {^~ he said resting his head on the edge of the counter, watching outside the window a bit as he was looking for something to look at that was more interesting then the gems ~^}
Irene
"Then go make some friends, if you can make enough of em' I'll even let you throw a party here."
Ficus was joking about the party but if it got the Sandwing out of the bar when Okapi isn't working he'd let it happen.
Gerardo
" We both know you ain't gonna let me throw no party here, you like your bar clean and not full of dragons who probably won't listen to ya" {^~ he giggled alittle, tho he did like the idea of trying to make friends, knowing ficus was just trying to make sure he wasn't stuck at the bar for the rest of his life ~^}
Irene
"I'd be fine with the mess of a part because I'll just make you clean it up, seems like you don't have enough chores as it is."
Ficus said with a snarky grin. This was something he wasn't joking about, he did love to give out chores.
Gerardo
" Next you'll have me making the alcohol if you weren't scared I'd mess it up" {^~ he laughed alittle smiling some as he knew ficus didn't wanna lose any business just cause he had someone else make the alcohol ~^}
Irene
"I don't trust your grimy little talons near my supplies. Once you learn how to mix drinks without messing up, I'll think about adding it to your list of chores." 
Ficus nodded to himself, his earrings clanking together. He rested one of his talons on the counter.
