- bells

In her seventh evening in the Valley, she stepped into the local bar. And honestly, she was surprised it had taken her this long to visit.

A bell tinkled as she entered, revealing a small, dim room plastered with old posters. A curly-haired blonde behind the counter turned to face her.

"Can I help you?"

"Your strongest," replied Nami. She sat down on a stool closest to the door.

The blonde smiled , mixing the drink. "I'm Muffy! You new here?"

"No."

The woman looked perplexed.

"Muffy" wouldn't understand. A week in one place wasn't a new record for her.
