They're at a dusty bar that's really no different than any other dusty bar they've seen. Since rejoining Kate and his brother, Richie hasn't been the most social creature. He's drinking like a fish and he's been trying to teach Kate to do the same, but she's got a long way to go to catch up to Seth and neither of them are likely to catch up to Richie.

She's on her second tequila and he's on his fifth and she's a little tipsier than he is. That's not to say that he isn't feeling good, because he had to be feeling good when he bet a man he could William Tell an apple off of Kate's head with his knife.

"Hold still, Katie-cakes." There's a hint of amusement in his voice as he takes a ready stance and he can see that she's a little worried, but Richie's more concerned about her ability to stay still than his ability to throw.

She takes a deep breath and stills herself and he sees his opportunity.

The knife hits the apple dead center and they fall to the ground behind Katie as one.

"Next round is on this fellow!" With a grin, Richie picks up his knife and shakes off the apple in Kate's direction. Then he wraps an arm around the guy and drags him back towards the bar.
