*Paper-white, Bernard walks behind the bar from his table where Charlie Weasley and Crowley still sit talking amiably. He takes a deep breath and lights a new cigarette off the old one.*

Welcome to Milliways Happy Hour.

Drink specials tonight are Strongbow, Guinness, and Bushmill's Whiskey.

Food specials also have a distinctly Irish theme, as you might have guessed.

Now. What'll you have?

*From the floor*

Imagine that.

[young_tmriddle]

*Tom spies Sunny with Bernard and Crowley and comes over.*

Ah, I see you've met our latest addition to the House of Arch. I hope she's not bitten either of you. Too hard, anyway.

*He smiles fondly at Sunny, then he speaks oh so nonchalently*

How are you, gentlemen? Seen Tonks around?

[talented-biter.livejournal.com]

"Bada?" She tries to look innocent.

It's not very successful.

*To Tom, still from the floor*

She's great. She bit Crowley! *He's clutching his stomach*

*At the next bit, he sits up and stands, his face still red from laughing, and comes around the bar, picking Sunny up and smiling at her tightly.*

Yeah, she was around earlier. Why?

[young_tmriddle]

She bit Crowley? Oh dear, I hope that won't make her sick.

*His eyes open wide at that gafffe*

No offense, Crowley! Sorry about that.

*He turns to Bernard.

Oh, no reason. She and I chatted the other morning, and I wanted to check up on her. See how she was feeling.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard cackles and nearly falls over at the Crowley comment, then rights himself, sobering.*

She, ah. Well. *He's at a bit of a loss for words. It's not really his news to tell.*

[young_tmriddle]

Did she have a, um, chat with you as well?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He smiles*

She did.

*And then he winces*

She had a talk with Charlie today.


And then Charlie's fist had a talk with my face.

And then she went home.

[young_tmriddle]

*Tom winces in sympathy*

Bad luck, Bernard.

I'll check on her, later. See if she needs anything. I'm hoping for the best, for both of you.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that.

Tell her I said hi.

*he grins a little*

Tell her Sunny and I perpetuated some richly-deserved revenge on Crowley.

[aj_crawley]

*Crowley shakes his fist from the bar-top*

I hate you all.

[aj_crawley]

*he clambers onto the bar and looks down at Bernard*

Well? Get rid of it!

[talented-biter.livejournal.com]

"Bughfle." She giggles and points up at him.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He picks Sunny up and replies to Tom, grinning innocently at Crowley all the while.*

[aj_crawley]

*realisation dawns*

You... bastard.

I'll get you! And your little rabid dog-child, too!

[talented-biter.livejournal.com]

"Bugger. Bastard. Blast." She loves the B words, she thinks, as she waves with a smile at Crowley.

[aj_crawley]

*Crowley narrows his eyes at Sunny's wave, clearly suspecting another sneak attack*

[talented-biter.livejournal.com]

She narrows her eyes back and hisses.

[aj_crawley]

*the demon bares his teeth and hisses right back*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Now we're even.

[young_tmriddle]

Sunny... where did you hear those words?

*He gives Bernard and Crowley one of his better glares.*

Do you gentlemen realise how long I was in the doghouse when Door found out Ingress had learned the word wench from me?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard laughs explosively*

Aziraphael.

[aj_crawley]

*Crowley perks up at this*

...Really?

[aj_crawley]

*Crowley picks up an empty tooth-pick holder from the bar.

And hurls it at Bernard's head*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*It hits him on the temple. Hard.*

Ow! You know, I only have so many brain cells to work with, here.
