Abel isn't huge on the drinking scene. He'd tried it once, but with it being far too public, far too open, he'd come and gone within minutes, finding some late night diner instead, sat by himself. Even just watching had felt a little too much, the temptation to participate far too great with the chance of being caught adding to the risk. No, he knew what he was like when he was drunk, and it would be a terrible idea to show that sort of face to the public, happy and affectionate in a way that that he was sure would easily out him in the small town, drunk or not. There was no playing that off.
"I'm not straight-edge, but no one wants to see me drunk in public. It's sloppy in the worst way." He jokes, as if it were just some other reason that was more socially acceptable, "But I wouldn't mind coming down for live music when they have it. That's enough entertainment I suppose."
And while a Dave and Busters is in his opinion, a rather low bar, he supposes with just the few options it would be fun. "Seems like a town like this could at least use a bowling alley, community theater?" Maybe not.
"Oh, yeah, there is the bowling alley..." Maurice snaps to the present, having gotten lost in his daydreams about a Dogtrot that was actually fun to live in. "I've lived here about two years and I haven't been, so I can't tell you if it's any good."
He gracefully drops the subject of getting drunk, it's clear this guy doesn't like the scene and he can't blame him. It's not like Maurice is actually having fun at the Pit Bull--especially now with the Everything.
He also pointedly doesn't comment on the theater because while he has seen the whole playhouse, he can NOT let this cool bike building guy know he's even a little interested in it.
