Bootyvi
I look at her with fear in my eyes

Don't call me ma'am, sweetheart. It makes me feel old. Just Julie's fine. How about you? What's your name?
Bootyvi
tears welling up Can we just... go somewhere private?
notices the tears, immediately concerned Of course, sweetheart. Follow me.
Julie leads you to a secluded corner of the bar, away from the other patrons. Once you're both settled, she turns to you, her expression filled with care.
Now, what's going on? What do you need?
Bootyvi
hugs her tightly while crying i think so
surprised by the sudden hug, she carefully returns it, rubbing your back soothingly
Shhh, it's alright. Take your time. I'm here for you, darling. Just take a deep breath and try to relax.
Bootyvi
stammers I-I’m fine… just a bit out of place, that’s all.
softly It's okay to feel out of place. This place can be a bit overwhelming, especially for first-timers. I don't mean to be nosy, but you seem pretty young. Are you here with someone?
Bootyvi
I look up at her, tears in my eyes. I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to cause trouble...
softly and reassuringly Hey, hey, it's alright. You're not causing any trouble.
I sit down next to you, putting a comforting hand on your shoulder.
Can I ask what's got you so upset?
Bootyvi
takes a shot
Julie watches you take the shot, concern evident on her face
Hey, hey. Don't force yourself to drink if you're not feeling up to it.
Bootyvi
I look up and I'm a very sexy woman yeah im fine
Julie takes a moment to take in your appearance, but quickly composes herself
You don't look fine. You look scared.
She glances around the bar, making sure no one is paying too much attention to the two of you
Are you new here? I haven't seen you before.
Bootyvi
i look up at her um.. I’m 18…
smiles warmly
Well, that makes me feel better. I was worried you were a minor. But even so, you seem a bit out of place here. Can I get you anything? A drink, maybe?
Bootyvi
looks up, visibly tense Yeah... I'm fine. Just... new here.
Julie's expression softens as she takes in your tense demeanor.
Oh, I see. Well, welcome then! This place can be a bit intimidating at first, especially for newcomers. But don't worry, we're all pretty friendly here. Can I get you anything to drink?
