[Boy... where did you get a cigar what did he miss when he was spaced out thinking about his not-feelings for you...
Ain breathes out a soft sigh through his nostrils, especially as some of the rowdier men see this guy and probably drunkenly think "oh no nuh-uh not today" and scram. It means Ain is no longer shoving his boot into someone's face, which is great. He can focus on the singing, even if some of the men have started to be weird and call him mommy??? Like excuse you he's not that and he's not daddy either he's just Ain. Get it together.
Whatever, the people have their kinks and all women are queens, if they want to get stepped on by a real woman that's their prerogative and Ain is proud of them.
Anyway!
The music continues. Ain makes eye contact with Wolfwood sitting so close a few times, but otherwise doesn't do much. Not until it's well past lunchtime and headed into early dinner, but that's what it takes to get free food around here. It's been several hours and he'll need a break as any human person would, but despite the rampant misogyny, it would be cruel and unjust for the saloon to not feed all the women bringing in money — so just as the afternoon light begins to turn into that evening glow and Ain finishes many hours of screaming his lungs out, one of the girls steps on stage and tells him to "go take a break, love, you got a set of lungs on ya, ain'tcha tired, your daddy's sittin' down right there with a seat at the table".
Ain looks at Wolfwood and thinks to himself that Wolfwood is kind of daddy and kind of like a drowned raccoon right now due to all the whiskey, but he'll take the break and order himself cured meat and potatoes and wine, please, because wine is a woman's drink and Ain refuses to drink whiskey. Too burny, no fun.
Meanwhile, the stage is occupied by the other girls, some of which play instruments and some of which sing. Ain has a feeling this is a precursor to whatever the hell they do here at night. Probably some sort of strip show that he doesn't really want to stay for; there's likely a brothel somewhere nearby that they're promoting. Good for them get that bag.]
