Bar Hookup - for

It was always a long day for Kaede. Both before and after meteorfall. He'd been one of the residents above the plate - having had his way paved by his well-off parents.
Losing his only home had been particularly shocking, even though it was very empty all the time.
However, not wanting to venture far from where he'd once lived, he'd taken up residence in Edge and done his best to make his skills as a medical student useful. Sure, materia could do lots of things, but sometimes they just couldn't get rid of an illness, or the person he was helping to treat didn't have it at all.
He still carried one he'd found, for his own protection since he didn't know how to fight with his fists or any sort of weapon.
Still, those kinds of thoughts were far from his mind when he found himself taken by the urge to not go immediately home after work, and into one of the bars he frequented. Eventually getting settled with his usual drink - vanilla-flavored rum with a lot of heavy whipping cream.
Settling to a less-occupied part of the bar, in a booth by a window, Kaede did his best to focus on his drink and not the patrons. Even though alcohol wasn't exactly good for someone like him, it still felt relaxing since he rarely drank more than he could handle - while still remaining sober enough not to trip over his own feet.
Even so, the usual vanilla and cream scent was soothing.
