"Perhaps we could do a couple of thumps as well," he muses. "Make them think the place is haunted."
"Are we?" He frowns. "Yes, that's right. The Hog's Head. Sorry," he shakes his head. "Yes, that true." He matches Severus' tone from earlier.
"Trust me on this Seth," Rus lays a hand on Severus' shoulder. "No one, and I mean no ONE, will bother either you or your place of business." He touches the inside of his left elbow. "I swear."
"You're too good to me," he sighs happily. He lifts his chin in the direction of the door. "I think our two guests have arrived." Two men have entered the pub and they have 'thug' written all over them, with thick necks and big fists and slicked back hair. It's really quite comical and Rus snickers at the sight of them. "I suppose we should pretend to be frightened?" He grins at Severus.
No! Back! *makes cross with fingers* Well, I had fifty pounds of berries this year, so I'm not really too terribly upset that one of them may be gone. It's a good thing he can't bark! :) Spaz has never done anything like that. I keep stuff under the bed too. But small monsters are much worse then big ones. *coughXelcough* And sorry about the brain fart with the Hog's Head. At least I got the same species. *headdesk*
