AJ had the day off work at St Mungo's, for once, but that just meant more time to revise and to pitch in at the restaurant. He usually tried to do both at once-- standing behind the counter with a book in his hand, only glancing up when someone came in and needed to be seated-- but tonight had been unusually busy for a Sunday. He'd been kept on his toes refilling water glasses and running hot plates out to the tables, but now the crowd had started to thin out and he could he finally give the study on the latest treatments for adult-onset dragonpox the attention it deserved. He still glanced up at the end of every paragraph, scanning the room to make sure no one was trying to flag down their waiter. He'd been keeping a particularly close eye on Xavier Orpington, "The Sexiest Wizard Alive," who had the waitstaff grumbling. Apparently he'd sent his entree back to the kitchen twice, with a different complaint each time, and AJ had a feeling he wouldn't leave so much as a knut for a tip. But AJ also thought this "minor celebrity" might be part of the reason they'd drawn a crowd tonight, so he wasn't about to rush him out the door. "Poultice of murtlap..." AJ mumbled to himself, starting over at the top of the page. He never made much progress when he tried to study amid the restaurant's noise and bustle. |
