Leah withdrew a bit into the background, letting her patrons talk amongst themselves. They'd seemed to have decided to do that rather than chat with her and she was happy to let them do as they pleased, so long as they paid for their drinks and didn't damage the place or her employees. It didn't take long before Grant slipped out of the back room and into the bar proper, saying a few quick words to whomever he'd been chatting with back there before he turned and noticed that they actually had customers this morning.<br/><br/>He was surprised to see Ferrus among them too, as he had not imagined the skunk as capable of walking around in normal society. Of course, given the nature of how he met him, it was somewhat understandable - the mephit had seemed like a monster torn straight from beneath the bed or out of the closet or whatever place one would imagine monsters to hide when young and naive.<br/><br/>The fox quickly hid his surprise however, heading over to help Leah.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Samuel was cleaning out his apartment. It wasn't the normal sort of cleaning - there was less trash of the normal sort, and more trash that was either unsold bags of narcotics, contacts and other things that tied him to a life he no longer could or would pursue. Getting rid of it was both sensible, since he couldn't use any of it anymore, and symbolic, since he had to consolidate in his mind this break with his past.<br/><br/>He did however, keep the money. It would be helpful in these times, and<span style="font-style: italic">dammit</span>, he needed a new gun.<span style="font-style: italic">Fuck you, Aaron</span>he thought. He'd get a<span style="font-weight: bold">bigger</span>gun next time, with equally larger rounds.<br/><br/>When he finished, he tossed it all out into the garbage bins.Anyone who felt like dumpster-diving could have it, as far as he was concerned. As a final precaution however, he paused to tack a note to his apartment door that read "OUT OF BUSINESS: SEE MARTY INSTEAD". Marty was one of the other dealers - his prices were not so fair as Samuel's, but Samuel had washed his hands of this business and that's really all there was too it. If they couldn't pay, well, it was too bad.
