Watch the matches turn to ashes
Who: Tessa Rogers and Ryan Byrne When: Just after 9pm Where: Random bar in Scarlet Oak What: Two fire elementals in one place at the same time :)
The tiny little desk calendar in the office at the dojo reminded Tessa of the holiday today, Father's Day. Tessa hadn't talked to her dad since she returned from Albany - Kirk Rogers had disagreed with her decision to move there and Tessa thought he was an ass about it. She'd been back a year now and still, they hadn't spoken. The rest of the family had tried, inviting them to all the same family functions, but no dice.
It didn't help that both of them were Fire elementals and prone to not getting along anyway, had been since Tessa was a small kid. Troy mentioned stopping by their father's on his way home, the offer to join him unspoken, but Tessa knew where she wasn't welcomed. If Kirk wanted to talk to her, he could do so whenever he wanted. She wasn't about to bow to him just because some date on the calendar said she should do so.
So Tessa did her own thing, like she always did. She stepped inside the bar and headed over to the counter, tossing her sweater onto the stool next to her. "Jack and coke please," she said, flashing the bartender a smile.
"ID?" The bartender didn't even blink.
Tessa scowled, grabbing her license from her wallet and showing it to him. Because of her size, everyone thought she was 17, not 26. "Oh, and tack an order of fries onto that, will you?" she called after the bartender as he left to fix her drink.
