Later that evening when Galley-La was closing up, Iceberg approached Lucci and Kaku with Kalifa by his side. "How was your first day?" He asked as he picked his nose childishly. "Tough on the back Mr. Iceberg." Kaku answered taking his cap off and rubbing his arm across his forehead. "Don't worry. We're all going down to the bar now. Why don't you come along?" Iceberg flicked his booger to the side. "I'm down for a nice cold beer." Kaku replied. Iceberg started to walk away. "I'll take you there then."
When they all arrived, Iceberg was the first to walk through the door. "Don't you have a meeting?" A similar voice asked as he smiled. "Cancelled." Iceberg sat on a stool in front of the bar. "How's business?" "How do you think?" "Don't be like that Sofia." Iceberg reached up and tousled her hair. Sofia smacked his hand away. "You brought them into my bar?" Sofia asked referring to the trio of newbies. "Relax, they're here for a drink." Iceberg reassured her and motioned for them to come sit by him. "Kalifa, this is Sofia. She's a very important person to Water 7 and the best person to have walked in my life."
Kalifa stared her down and held her hand out. "What a cute girlfriend, Mr. Iceberg." She stated tensely. Sofia grabbed Kalifa's hand aggressively. "You're on my turf bitch. I'm nobody's girlfriend and most definitely not his." Sofia pushed her away and she fell to the ground. "Sofia, calm down." Iceberg cautioned with an amused laugh. "You know how I feel about new people." Sofia glared and tossed Iceberg a beer. "I know how you feel about everyone." "Smartass." Sofia's lips curved a bit.
Kaku kept his eyes averted but he glanced over every chance he got. Rogue walked out of the kitchen with several plates of food. She struggled to keep the plates from clinking into each other. It was unbalanced. "Rogue, be careful. I told you. Take your time." "But those pirates over there...they look so scary. I don't want them to cause trouble for you." Sofia sighed. "You're the one causing me trouble, Rogue."
Rogue couldn't help but frown as she heard those words. "Forgive me." She whispered as she hit into the kitchen doorway. The plates began to fall to the floor as Sofia rushed to her aid. "Rogue." She said her name in a simple tone and yet she never looked more serious.
