My music brings all the Boys to the yard

After a bit Mary took a break. She switched while the young woman was on her third song and she went to watch. It really had been a while since she had heard live music, minus the drunken singing of some of her customers. And although it was kind of odd it did sound nice. Mary took off the bandanna she had been using to hold back her hair and let her blonde curls loose. With everything that had happened recently it was hard to be a calm as she was now and she planned to make the most of it. "Now ,now do not crowd her." Mary chided causing most of them to spread out a bit. It was nice to see she still held some kind of seniority. She had been getting hassled by her supplier recently and it had really messed with her mood in recent days. " What is your name chere?" Mary asked the young women once the crowd had more or lowered their volume.

(Bu-bump)

Mary blinked and grinned a bit at the womans response.  She hadn't understood very much but atleast shee knew her name was Sakura. And she could sympathize, her accent had not been the best when she had first come to this country. The girl was  ridiculously adorable though and Mary kind of just wanted to squish her but she didn't, it would look much too odd. " I am Marry Ann Bouvier. Where are you from?" she asked,making sure to make her words clear but not in a condescending way.

Mary smiled and nodded in response, more or less understanding. So the girl was a Japanese singer. That was certainly interesting though Mary wondered why she hadn't seen her around before. She really did know most everyone. " I could tell you were a singer. "she replied, lightly running a hand through her hair. Most everyone had dispersed by now and gone back to eating or waiting to eat. Some of the little kids had even begun to play together. " How long have you been in the city?" she asked, before glancing toward the soup line to see if they needed any help.

Mary looked at her a bit confused at first but she understood soon enough. She leaned in a bit closer to sakura and crossed her arms over her chest. " Boom? You mean the Blast?" she asked, lowering her voice for the second question. Bringing up the blast was always a touchy subject around the civilians and Mary did not want to have anyone realing into war flashbacks. She did wonder if the girl was a conduit though but she was not sure how to ask her.

Mary blushed a bit when Sakura bowed. Now really it was unfair how cute she was acting at that point. She almost laughed when Sakura asked her if she sang, only managing to stiffls it but covering her mouth her her hand. She quickly shook her head in response. " Only  Alouette and then I still get complaints. " she replied, grinning lightly. She had never been an artistic person.  The only thing remotely close to artistic she could do was her hair and makeup  and serving drinks and those hardly counted.

Mary smiled brightly when she asked what she did. She nodded her head in the directon of the bar and chukled. " I own and run a Bar. It is a very nice place and it has kept my head above he water. " she replied almost smugly. The bar was her pride and her joy. Een if the walls barely matched and it was harder and harder to obtain alchohol nowadays she still loved the place.

Mary laughed and put a hand on the young girls shoulder. " I meant with a sufficient amount of money." she replied, smiling at the girl. She had remembered learning the term but in a completly diffrent scenario. " And a bar is a place where alcohol is served and drinks are too. "
