Bartending!

Claire steps behind the bar and immediately sets about wiping her down and then straightening the rows of liquor and garnishes. She's in a good mood today and hums to herself as she works.

When she's finally done, she turns to the patrons around the bar and smiles.


"Can I get anybody anything?"



[[summary: Tony tell Claire about his fight with Jack and Michelle. She promises to talk to Michelle if she sees her around. She meets fellow Aussie Adam/Felicia/Sparkles for much yay. She and Guppy agree to forget about their hellfly grievances. She apologizes to Barry for her behavior last week and then explains her love for Sawyer. She meets Jack and Teddy and they set up plans for a picnic. She and Penny discuss the logistics of being wed to a war god and Asar-Suti comes by to apologize for not keeping a better eye on the hellfly.]]

"I did more than swear," she grins, embarrassed. "A lot more, trust me."

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Asar-Suti nods. "Guppy mentioned something," he says, carefully.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

She smiles sheepishly. "Not the worst. I think probably Charlie or well. . .Sawyer, could tell you about the worst of last week. Although, Sawyer probably didn't think it was so bad."

She pauses and then says, "I really do need to apologize to Guppy though."

"I think you scared him; he is easily frightened. I'm glad it came to nought, as nobody should have their first time under such circumstances."

Asar-Suti's look is very dark, sad, and rueful; he remembers something he's not at all proud of, now, and it would be best not to ask him. Unless anybody wants to hear him ramble about how horrible he used to be.

She frowns. "I wasn't actually hitting on him. I was flirting, but there wasn't anything serious behind it and I told him that. I wouldn't cheat on Sawyer, ever. . .even, like that."

Not even with Charlie, she tells herself firmly.

"Oh dear; the way he told it he'd barely escaped your clutches, the poor thing," Asar-Suti says.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

She makes a face, slightly annoyed. "Well, he needs to not tell it like that. He could get both of us in trouble."


She's already having to smooth things over between Sawyer and Charlie. She doesn't need rumors getting abck to him.

"Nobody can be blamed what they did or misunderstood under the influence of the Hellfly," Asar-Suti says. "You can't either. At least you didn't offer everybody fruit and hugs, like my poor lovely Gil did."

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"No, but I almost ruined something really good in my life. And that's enough." she says seriously.

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry," he says, looking rather dejected.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"It's not your fault, Asar-Suti. It's mine if it's anybody's. You can't be responsible for the fly."

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"Course I can - I put it in the jar and said I'd keep it safe," Asar-Suti declares, starkly.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Accidents happen," she challenges.

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"As I left the magic-proof jam jar with the fly in on top of the cabinet where the coffee machine lived, that wasn't an accident, that was stupidity. If people microwave their cats, that's not an accident."

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

She makes a face. "It could've been worse, and okay, why do you have a possessed coffee machine?"

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Asar-Suti giggles. "I didn't know it was possessed when I bought it, and I no longer have it - Ray helped me destroy it and shoot the demon trapped with his technology into the nearest dying sun."

"Oh, well," she laughs. "That should take care of it then."
