BARTENDING

*Bernard. In the bar.

At the Bar.

Taking orders.

Imagine that.*

[ooc: Clarice gets a flat in the Staff Wing; Tom Riddle gets a scotch and an update on Bernard's love life, which is rather awesome; Sunny is imperious and snuggly and calls Bernard Daddy for the first time; Tony is depressed (OMG SHOCK AND AWE); Ace is seduced away from Tim with Vegetable Korma; Tim and Bernard talk about Security issues, including Faith and Barty Crouch, and Bernard pricks at Tim's conscience without meaning to; Laini is over-friendly; Q offers his services in the future; the Trips get cockroaches and a knife; Ginny's just plain nice and talkative; and Raph and Bernard talk about EVERYTHING (definitely worth a read).]

Fuck me in the ear, you're kidding.

"... with naan at stake? Never." She nibbles on a samosa, since it's closer. Oh, heaven.

We came to your wedding together.

"Well yeah, I've seen her. Maybe said hi once or twice in passing. I've never actually met her. There's a difference, you know." Ace rolls her eyes at him. Men. And she's down one samosa. How sad.

*He rolls his eyes back at her.*

Well, Christ, we're just down the hall. Stop by some weekend.

Blink. Blinkblink.

Congrats Bernard, you've officially stunned the mad British pyro. On to Disneyland next?

*He cocks an eyebrow, bemused*

I say something wrong?

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace, who always has seen herself as something of an outsider, even now, is thrown for a loop with Bernard's casual offer. So she goes for flippant. It's the logical thing to do.
"Does Tonks know you're inviting women she doesn't know to your rooms? Shaaaame."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Oh, she encourages it! *A saucy grin* She likes that sort of thing.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that grin looks like a challenge.
"Should I bring Tim along? Wouldn't be proper without at least four."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Oh, why not bring the whole Security crew? The more, the merrier.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace looks thoughtful.
"I always did wonder what Cuthbert could do with his gun."

*Bernard cracks up.*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Score one for Perivale! Ace beams and snags the basket of naan in triumph.

*Bernard snags one of the piece of naan in retaliation.*
