Re: ~9:20: Mary and Slav
Settling his elbow up on the bar, Slav gave her a semi sheepish look with a small grin as he absently pressed his hair back down with his hand. Trying to unconsciously fix at least some of Maddie's ruffling.
"You don't look old enough to have been doing it forever," he spoke without thinking. "I mean...you're awful young for it, right?" Crap. Slav took another drink from his mixed drink rather than keep trying and failing to say the right thing at the moment.
Oh here, a topic he could talk about without (and he really did not think this in spite) sounding like Gor talking to a girl. "I restore classic cars, or at least apprentice at a shop that does." His dreams were of his own shop, it as true, even if he had little head for the practical side of it all.
