[ THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. good job with the order past whoever-he-is.
he spares a glance at the pool in thought before looking back and trying to press the [address] part. help, direct him to where he needs to get foods. ]
[ the bartender just grabs onto ace's wallet without protest, kinda digs through it a bit before he digs out the ID (which has ace's photo on it, though it's a bit distorted) and a credit card. (ace may notice that the credit card looks similar to the dorm key!)
but before he can say anything else, two people walk in, one of them being a familiar face for ace. ]
[ sage is here, too, and gives ace a little wave. like bennett, she also doesn't feel super chipper, more tired than anything, but she's at least giving her best effort to be here as promised. she looks over at ace. ]
'Sup? You didn't fuck up the pizzas, right?
[ a little laugh. also, the time now is close to 3:15pm. ]
Room's under my name, by the way. Sage.
[ the bartender squints at ace's wallet again and hands it back to him before he nods at sage. he asks for her ID, gives it a look, and hands it back. easy enough. then, he looks over at bennett. ]
[ Bennett waves to Sage as she departs, once again feeling... kind of weird, just because he knows that getting ditched like this isn't weird for him when she's involved.
Still, he has something more important to focus on. As soon as she's out of earshot, he whirls to Ace. ]
This place is weird, right? It's really weird, right?!

so there's the karaoke bar at the mall, and pressing the address part will show ace a picture of the bar itself! hopefully that'll help? ]

Give me some rum.
[ he hasn't any idea this won't work. ]
no subject
[ brands. there are so many brands. it's possible ace may be able to get a glimpse of the bottles that are displayed behind the bartender, at least! ]

I'll take the Rum Fire.

You got a reservation, by the way?

Still, he manages to perk up when he sees Ace. He immediately lifts his hand in a wave. ]
Ace! Hey! Over here!

Hey there!

Would you like something to drink?
[ soda is available! as are water and juice. ]
no subject
Are the others here yet?
[ To the bartender, though... Bennett knows he's not of age yet - not even in Teyvat - so he gives the bartender a simple: ]
Juice, please!
no subject
[ the "2" had to be a typo in her original message. 20 is the more appropriate amount, after all. ]
But you're the first ones to arrive.
[ he doesn't even know who else is supposed to be here.
frownies, does this mean ace doesn't get his drink? but he takes back his wallet. ]
no subject
sage nods and puts her hands on her hips. ]
Cool. When you guys are done, I'll be in the room. It's the first one on the left.
[ and she heads right on in. ]
It's been a long day, swimming practice in the morning and finals at lunch. Just need some time to wind down.
[ something about the mention of swimming practice will make ace feel a little weird, like he's comparing his apparent swimming prowess to hers.
he can try to brush it off, but the weirdness will kind of linger for a while. ]
