At Warriors

Ralph is in an unusually sober mood as he enters the bar. He's not sure if Ollie has told anyone else the reason behind the gathering, and it really doesn't matter. He just needs to get out of the house for a while. People are greeted with waves, small nods, or the occasional slight smile - though his heart is obviously not into the latter. "Thanks for coming guys, glad you could make it."

"John is paying... wait... what was the bet?" Ralph glances between them, mid-drink.

Eh. He called me a liar.

"Gardner... lying about what? Did you and John actually bet on whether my wife had just left me?"

MMmmmm not exactly. He asked why the party was happening. I told him, he called me a liar. It pissed me off so I told him 'Fine, and when it turns out I wasn't pullin his leg, the bar tab was on him and he had to make a little speech to the bar.

Ralph doesn't look happy about the explanation, and intimation of the stakes of the bet, but its also Gardner... and Gardner gets a little bit more freedom to be an ass than most people.

Ralph nods once with a frown and shrug, and goes back to his beer, letting the others do most of the heavy drinking and partying.
