Backdated to somewhere in late February, messenger bird

[moneymatters]

[A messenger bird settles down, wearing a harness that bears a dollar sign medallion which will open up to show its carried missive, a folded piece of paper.]

I heard I might be able to make a deal with you to have desserts supplied to my future business! I'd like to talk to you about that. Please reply or visit the address below at your earliest convenience.

Signed,

$crooge McDuck

[Then it goes on to list the promised address, an apartment elsewhere in the city.]

[Snow White followed the directions given to her, her animal friend always in tow. She smiled as she came to the saloon and asked her animals to wait outside the doors.]

Hello? Hello is anyone here? [She called out, some of her birds peeking inside to make sure everything was alright.]

Scrooge? Scrooge McDuck are you here?

[It was a few minutes but only because he had some building supplies to get around. The building was heavily in progress, the outside of it fine but the inside in the midst of renovations. At least the doors worked well enough. He opened one and looked up, then smiled as he stepped outside.]

Ahh, you must be Snow White! Correct?

[onebadapple]

Oh! Why yes I am! And you're Scrooge McDuck? I should have known! [All things considered.] What is it you would like to discuss, Scrooge?

[moneymatters]

The same! [He dipped his head, smiling brightly.] I'd like to talk about your dessert business. I'm openin' up something of an eatery o' me own here, and I heard we might be able to start up a partnership of supply.

Ah, for a fee, o'course! I'm willing to negotiate whatever you might think fair.

You would like Sweetie Pies to provide desserts? Oh! I would be delighted! I wish I had known, I would have brought some with me. But if you have a kitchen available, I could whip something up, I'm sure.

What sort of desserts would you like. I specialize in pies but I can do tarts, cakes, sweet dumplings, cookies, and we could even make something unique just for your eatery, if you like! What... is your eatery, by chance?

I do have a kitchen, but I'm afraid it's hardly in usable shape at the moment. I'd be up for comin' around later to try a few, if that'd be possible.

[Now, how to answer her question?]

My eatery's a Western saloon, but if you're not familiar with it- [Which a few people he's talked to aren't, but that's hardly a deterrent] -it's like a bar or tavern. A place to come and enjoy yourself with good food and a performance or two.

I think almost any dessert could do, particularly pastries o' some kind, but I'm open to suggestions.

Hmmm.... well, a tavern means you'll need simple desserts, nothing too fancy? But while any dessert might do, it won't do when it's both your and our names being represented, wouldn't you say?

What is unique to a... ah Western?
