Happy Hour

[balancingminds]

When Charles goes to the counter to get a scotch, he smiles and nods. He's glad to do a happy hour, Milliways has received a few shocks lately and if this will help then he's happy to do it. The cocktail book provides some good options as he starts to write.

Its not a huge amount but he hopes its enough that he might make a few people smile tonight.

(OOC: Charles is listening passively so please include your character's thoughts in the narration or a reason why he wouldn't hear them. Thank you and at 1:30 am closed for the night. Open for new threads until the next Happy Hour goes up.)

"Ah, yes, I remember from some friends at Oxford how it would fill their time. At Milliways, there's time enough after. May I ask what you do?"

Charles smirks, he tries to write accessibly but his topic is complicated.

There's a faint relief at not having to explain.

"Oh," Quatre says lightly, and mentally hesitates -- more at trying to figure out what to explain, than an attempt to leave anything out.

(The parts of Quatre that dealt with the revolution are very firmly tucked away - he's overwhelmingly the Winner patriarch. That's not to say they couldn't be found, but rather that they would need looking for by someone who knew where to look.)

"Well," he says, after a moment. "I'm mostly a businessman. I'm in management with a corporation that oversees much of the physical infrastructure of the colony cluster I live in."

And here there are details, clustered into constellations, links all over the place. Any one piece, if examined, is linked to more -- either two, or three, or several dozen.

"Colony cluster, is that in space? That must be an interesting and exhausting job,"

From his thoughts, it seems to suit Quatre who has a fascinating mind with all of its interconnections and sections.

There's faint surprise, hidden on his face, that he forgot to say. He quickly rewinds the conversation and confirms, wryly, that he'd entirely missed it. Oh, well -- Charles doesn't seem to hold it against him.

"Yes," he says, with a quick smile. "It's a lot to keep track of, but it's beautiful to see everything work together. I live in L4, which is one of the stable areas in the Earth-Sun three-body system."

It was there in his head but Charles wanted to confirm,

"I can see that. That's what I enjoy about genetics, when you start to see the patterns and how they fit."
