Minami stepped inside the bar known as "Elise," looking around. Quite fancy for a Japanese bar. It reminded her more of the bars found in foreign countries... and the places where it was easy to steal from the rich. Today, however there was to be no stealing. All she wanted was a simple drink, nothing more. Stepping up to the table, she cleared her throat.

Gin had been gazing over at the TV monitor set up at one end of the bar, not having heard the chime that usually rang when the door of Elise was opened. It wasn't until his customer had cleared her throat that his attention had been caught, glancing over to see that it was a female customer. Standing upright, he fixed his outfit some before going towards her.
"How may I help you this fine evening, Miss..?" He asked her, he hadn't seen her before--so he assumed her to be a new customer, she definitely wasn't a regular for otherwise obvious reasons.

"Minami Takahashi," she said simply. "What drinks do you have?"

Gin closed his eyes at the question, a common question to be asked, of course it was natural though--it wasn't like he advertised his available selection or anything. "All kinds." He answered simply, "All things alcohol and liquor, I can even make you a drink." He added before opening his eyes again.

"Really now? Have any preferences?" the smaller woman asked, a small smirk on her face.

He made something of a laugh as he glanced over his shoulder to the bottles and bottles of liquor arranged behind a glass casing. "Well, you could say I'm famous for my gin." He told her, "Enough that its earned me a nickname."

"Oh really? Well then, I suppose I'll just try that, won't I?"

Gin made something of a smirk, "Alright then, I'll get right on it Miss." He told her, turning away as he went to get a glass for her. He returned to her after several moments--a glass of freshly prepared gin for her. "Here you go, I hope you enjoy." He gave off something of a laugh as he looked at her, "I also do prepare food--we're more than a simple bar here." He pointed out for her.

"Well isn't that nice of you? Well, maybe I'll come for a meal some other time..."

Gin chuckled, "Well, here at Elise I strive to provide the best drink, food, and service to my customer."

"Surprised I haven't heard of this place before now..." Minami then took a sip of gin.

"We've been around for awhile..." Gin began to say as he went to cleaning an empty glass with a white rag, "...although I guess my regulars don't like to spread the word about this place." He made something of a slightly timid laugh, "Though, I suppose I'm thankful. I really don't think I could do service at its best if this place were too crowded." He confessed, Gin was an admirer for a relaxing and quiet atmosphere.

"I suppose that's true... but you're one of the better bars I've seen. Every other bar I've been to..." Minami sighed. "It makes me sick."

"Let me guess, ran by and populated by pigs?" He shot her something of an amused look. "Those kinds of bars are common-place, they forget the essence of a good bar. That's what I try to supply the customer with here." He set the glass and rag aside.

"Not just that, but they permeate with the arrogance of the wealthy that look down on the poor..." she told him. "They think they have it easy with all the money they can just throw around because they never got to work for any of it..."

He listened to her words, observing how insightful she actually was. Closing his eyes, the bartender folded his arms on the counter as he leaned a slight bit forward, "I will confess--were it not for the money left behind to me by my own Grandfather, Elise wouldn't have existed, yet I do try what I can to provide a memorable and pleasant experience for those who enter those doors as customers." Gin spoke rather sternly.

"You're putting it to good use though... the people I've met... they only use their money for their own leisure and nothing more..."

Minami smiled. "Besides, you're focused on the enjoyment of others rather than yourself. I think it's an admirable quality."

"Admirable..? That's a new one..." Gin closed his eyes as he laughed under his breath, he wasn't used to being praised--if even only in the slightest.
