Having gone through and checked all of the work Dominic had now finished Charlie had invited him up to the office to finish up the paperwork and sort their arrangements for payment. Now all that was done too and he offered Dominic his hand. "Well, I think that's us finished up apart from the final bills, and I'll pay them up the week they arrive. Well, on my paperwork Wednesday."

He smiled broadly at Dominic as he stood. "And now that I technically no longer employ you, how do you feel about getting potentially very drunk on a Wednesday afternoon by helping me try out cocktails ready for Pride next month?" He stretched as he stood working out the slight pull in his arm caused by the no longer tiny ball of fuzz that was Echo, his cat, sleeping on his arm almost all night. "No idea what's coming, I asked Genie to come up with stuff a couple of weeks ago, she likes playing with combinations."

Charlie thought for a second, ignoring Genie and Dominic's flirting, at least he thought they were flirting. Sometimes he couldn't be bothered to tune in to that sort of thing and sometimes it just flew over his head. Actually mostly it flew over his head to start with at least. "I know a few muggle animals, but mostly British stuff, and variations on farm animals," he said and shrugged. "I'm assuming the safari stuff is more exciting. Actually, no, I know it is, I've scanned a few books on muggle animals before now!" he said. "But it should be fun. I can see if any of the behaviour spotting crosses over maybe," he said. He definitely missed the dragons and that sort of work even though he was enjoying this too.

"Yup," he confirmed to Genie's description. He had a feeling that they were going to have to pull out some of the more interesting tricks to get rid of the inevitable glitter. There was a certain amount about in the club anyway, but Pride seemed to accio the stuff. He shrugged at Dominic's suggestion. "Sure, it'll dissipate and not add to the fuckton of glitter we'll be clearing up afterwards, if you can do it that's fine by me. Well, assuming nobody dumps glitter down my clothes. And fuck me never mention that to George, he'd think it was fucking hilarious!"

He tapped a finger on the bar and looked encouragingly at Genie. "So, what's next?" he asked.

"There's all sorts of cool animals in the muggle world. Though I admit I haven't gotten to see a lot of the magical ones outside of school," she said with a shrug. "But it's always interesting."

"Ooooh more sparkly!" Genie was excited at the idea. She hadn't thought of creating it into a wand, but that would work. "I think that would work, yes. We'll have to test it out, but it should be fine." This is the sort of collaboration she needed on occasion. She snorted. "I shall protect you from the glitter, Bossman, never fear!" she declared.

She took another set of glasses out of the bar and competently and quickly started to pour and layer another drink and a second one for Dom. "Here we go! Another multicolor, though not a rainbow."

His mind whirring with possibilities, Dominic was in exactly the sort of headspace to pick up more ideas - and so he did. "I wonder if I could come up with some kind of glitter-repelling charm for your clothes," he mused. "Just in case of sneak attacks." He grinned, knowing it wasn't really necessary but enjoying running over the possibility in his head. He grinned at Genie's offer of protection and rested a hand on Charlie's forearm as he said, "So between the two of us, you'll be well protected in any event." The touch lingered a little longer than it needed to, Dominic enjoying the combination of warm skin and solid muscle under his fingertips.

He pulled back to take the glass from Genie, turning it around on the table to examine the amazingly precise layering from every angle. He gave a long, low whistle. "That is amazing," he told her. "Almost too pretty to drink." Almost. Dominic lifted the glass to his lips and downed it, trying to taste the layers as they came but quickly losing track. He coughed softly after he'd finished, aware of the lingering burn of the alcohol in his throat. "You might need to ration that one."

"It's not my clothes, it's when it ends up under my clothes. Clothes are washable with vigorous charms, glitter clings to skin like it's got permanent bloody sticking charms on it!" Charlie protested. "Although fuck knows why people think I need protection," he said, it wasn't especially accusing though. "Well, apart from the fuckers who don't no for an answer, but if it's in here I just point to the sexual harassment policy and end up throwing them out," he said, rolling his eyes and shaking his head softly. He'd still not picked up on Dominic's advances and hadn't minded the hand on his arm.

Charlie watched the bottles racking up as Genie poured over the back of her spoon, his eyes widening after every new one. There wasn't much of any individual liquid, but all in one they made quite the combination. It looked amazing, but as impressive as it was he thought all of the bar staff could manage it, himself included. They all had to use the spoon to float a variety of things in relatively popular cocktails. He watched as Dominic took the shot first this time, grinning slightly and then knocking his own back. Despite the sheer number of different things in it it actually blended well together as he swallowed. He coughed too and nodded. "Yeah, it's good shit, but we don't want anyone having too many of them," he said.

"Glitter was invented by the devil for the furtherment of evil in this world," Genie said, managing it with a straight face before giggling. "Or so one of my mates claims. Which only makes the temptation to glitter bomb him even more irresistable." She grinned at Charlie. "But don't worry, Bossman, you're off limits. I'll keep you from the horrors of invasive glittery things. I do admit, they're a devil to vacuum up. You keep finding it forever."

She could see the way the wind blew here, at least with Dominic, though she enjoyed flirting with the man. It made her smile to herself. Genie went ahead and poured herself one of the drinks while the other two drank, and she toasted them with it and managed to drain hers in one long set of gulps, head tipped back and long neck bared for a moment. "Tasty," she agreed with a proud look.

"No, not too many of them, but they are wicked awesome. I think most of us could do them, too," she said.
