As if the restaurant is another bar, it seemed to somehow sow the seeds of violence when, a day or so after the official opening, the stories fly of how a man tossed a table down and challenged Theo Grey to a shootout. The youth may have been a cowerd or might have been saving his own life when he'd handed his gunbelt to a stranger, on his way out, and though the challenger had some gun tricks, he finally contented himself to trying to beat up the young thespian.
Seems that after a few punches thrown, and many fewer connecting, and little effort on Theo Grey's part, to hit the man back, that he finally walked off in disgust. No few moments later, however, then Theo Grey and Thierry Marcel had a bit of a fight in that same place, though it was only words thrown instead of fisticuffs. The young Theo seemed to be accusing his kin of wanting to marry a girl, to have a daughter. Or some such nonesense. That the two were riled is clear; the senior Marcel invited Theo to go back t his troupe, and the younger Grey told him that Marcel's life would be dictated by a fifteen-year-old. Or... So the rumours go.
