El Capitán sat with his back facing the window with the glare spreading out behind his dark head. She sat facing him eyes glittering with mischief and a cigarette slowly smoking away in the tray. Four drinks were brought before them in small orange juice glasses--- three were some clear volatile liquid and the fourth a berry red thick color with a sprig of cilantro sticking out of the top. She dangled a beet from her fork advancing it menacingly towards the glowing El Capitán and then popping it into her mouth quickly. The drone of flies seemed endless circling the dim light somehow making the chatter of the room seem cheerful in contrast. She picked up the red drink and sniffed deeply and abruptly gave a shiver and set it down on the square plate with a crack. El Capitán picked it up and took a drink just as the lady with red hair laughed convulsively and a grey cat stretched and sauntered out the door to sit on the busy sidewalk slowly stretching into various elongated shapes to better clean it's impecable coat.
Next to them sat a woman with bright red hair wearing square glasses and whispering something to a slightly bald man with shaved head, her bulbous lips secretly rolling the sounds back and forth endlessly like glass baubles.
