Re: Fast Eddy's Pool Hall (WIP)
The silence that passed between them after her question gave the impression that is wasn't good, but his demeanor seemed to suggest that it was just the "normal" not good, or something close to it. He exhaled through his nose and blinked a few times. "It's not getting any easier." he admitted, then after another moment he continued.
"I thought that once I had settled in a bit, it would get better. Everybody knows this is the place to make your name right? To get rich or die tryin?" he chuckled grimly, a soft sound. "And I've known a couple people who did make it back, but...I don't know. Either they weren't tellin' the whole truth, or I was just...blind."
He was homesick, which might have been endearing to some, or pitiable. It sure wasn't the vibe that most people were trying to put off, but given that it was just the two of them for the moment, he seemed comfortable opening up a little bit. "Glad I got picked up for this, that's the truth" he said with more confidence. "Hopin' it might not be a one time thing, if we can pull it off."
