Happy Hour

Indy and Veronica did Happy Hour together last week. Indy's heard about it ever since, from a deeply (if perhaps a bit theatrically) wounded Lilly. His protest of "but Princess, I've been asking ya to do Happy Hour for ages and you've always said it sounded like too much work" fell on deaf ears, but eventually he figured out how to make it up to her.

Lilly's getting her own Happy Hour. She's behind the bar, chalking up the specials list with a serious look on her face. There's not much that Lilly takes seriously, but alcohol is on the list.

That's why the specials are mostly shots.

Three Stages of Friendship
Virgin Whore
Sweet Flower

She smiles triumphantly up at the board celebrating a few of her favorite things. The liquor bottles are within easy reach. The shot glasses have been washed and lined up. Her skirt is shorter than her apron. This is as close to ready as it gets.

"What up, Milliways? Who wants a drink?"

"Oh, oops."

Lilly puts down her bar towel and grins at him.

"Lilly Kane, DeadNeptuneCaliforniaEarth2005. Nice to meet you, Bran's dad."

Owen smiles vaguely at Lilly and offers her his hand. He shakes awkwardly.

Lilly shakes hands somewhat less awkwardly, but isn't quite sure what to say afterwards.

"So, you guys are from Wales, right? Lots of... sheep, huh?"

"Sheep, yes, and sheepdogs for them, too," Owen replies in his precise lilting baritone. "It is mainly a sheep farm, Clwyd Farm where we live. There is always work to be done."

"Right, good honest farming-type work."

Mentally, Lilly is going 'ew, sheepshit.'

"So that's gotta be good times. Uh. And then, you give them crewcuts, right? And make stuff from the wool? Knit sweaters and all?"

"There is shearing in spring, yes. We sell the wool to be spun into yarn, and the women buy it back for knitting. Always knitting, is Jen Evans."

Will's aunt Jen was taught to knit by one Blodwen Rowlands.

"Knitting. Also, um, fun."

Lilly's luckily not too aware of the knitting-Blodwen links.

"God, no offense, but you seriously like... tend sheep and knit and are against drinking?"

Lilly has just taken the name of God in vain. Owen's lips tighten further. "Yes. And chapel three times a week."
awesome_lilly: (whoa)

Lilly sometimes takes the name of God in vain all night long. Hopefully that won't come up.

"Three times a week? Wow. That's, um. Really holy. Are you a priest?"

Owen Davies, aged forty-two, has never known a woman. It might be better if Lilly never, ever mentions particular blasphemous activities before him.

"I am a deacon, that is a kind of lay leader. Methodists do not have priests."
