RP: Friday night at the Pub
Who: Cho + OPEN
What: Cho stops into the Pub late night after an event.
Where: Finnigan's Pub
When: March 6, 2005
Rating: SFW (I'd assume)

The Pub was nice and busy and Cho appreciated the crowd from her seat at the bar. She'd just come from a wedding reception - an older couple had hosted a wedding ceremony to renew their vows after 60 years in the afternoon and then had a big party to celebrate with their very large brood of family and friends. Out in the country, in a lovely warmed tent, there had been dancing and eating and drinking all night and Cho had even found herself asked to dance by their eldest grandson more than once throughout the evening. By the end of the party, her feet had hurt more than usual thanks to the dancing and her normal amount of running around running the event. But she'd had fun.

Now, her high heels sat below her stool on the pump and her toes wiggled in delight at the freedom as she hoped no one noticed. She ordered a glass of elf wine and took our her journal to work on her notes for the night.

Finbar nodded, too. As much as he wanted Cho’s business to succeed, and was willing to have his entire family hire her exclusively for their arrangements, he wanted her to attend them with him.

For a moment he worried that she would turn him down – which, really, he wouldn’t have blamed her for – but then she nodded. He knew that she was wrong, though, because in the company of his teammates the attention would be on her; Merlin knew they saw enough of him on a daily basis. Again, he nodded, accepting her claim that she had experience with attention. This would probably not be the same, but they would just have to take it as it came, and deal with anything that happened. At her question he nodded, because he was ready, though he doubted he would ever be ready for anything happening to her because of him. “I am,” he said, leaning in and pausing for just a moment before her kissed her softly. “By the way, we won tonight.”

Her smile could have lit up Monument Alley when be confirmed that he was ready, too and when he ever leaned over to kiss her lightly like that, she could have done a flying loop without the help of her broom. Trying to come back to her senses she squeezed his hand a bit tighter and aaid, "I guessed as much from the sound of things over there." She looked to his teammates again, not obviously, but also not bothering to hide her smile this time.

It felt as if every little worry in the world lifted from his shoulders. They were still there, sure, but they just weren’t weighing him down right now, and his beaming smile turned into a chuckling laugh when Cho admitted to having guessed that they won. “Did I tell you we beat Puddlemere?”

“Come on,” he said, getting to his feet and holding his hand out to her. “I’ll introduce you.”

"As long as it wasn't Tutshill," she laughed. Standing with him, she took his hand and said, "You know I know a couple of them, right?" with a smile.

They headed to his team and her focus went to Terry and Vikesh, who she knew from school, to say hello to. Vikesh gave her a light hug despite her hands both being occupied and then he looked to her hand in Finbar's and he masked his surprise quickly enough to not embarrass her.

"Hi guys," she said somewhat sheepishly, luckily being well versed in speaking with groups of relative strangers. "Congrats on the match today," she said, directing her comment mostly to Terry and Vikesh.

“Well, we’re playing them next Saturday, and I’m making no promises,” Finbar grinned back at her. After their loss to Tutshill last November – ten points! Ten measly points, even though Tutshill had caught the Snitch! – he knew that the Bats were eager to set that record straight. As it was, there wasn’t much he wouldn’t do for Cho, but purposely lose a match to Tutshill? No, he wouldn’t do that, and he was relatively sure that she appreciated that.

He quirked an eyebrow at her claim that she already knew some of them, curious as to who and how, though the minute he saw Boot’s and Moon’s recognition of her, he realised that he should have figured. The only indication that Cho wasn’t completely certain of the situation, was the hold she kept on his hand, which he was more than happy to provide. She nailed it though, and when her congratulations on their win was met with choir of “Cheers!” in her direction, he knew that they didn’t have anything to worry about when it came to the team.
