After spending his 'weekend' (Monday and Tuesday to everybody else) relaxing, Charlie spent his now traditional Wednesday afternoon looking over the books. He had spent time running through and comparing the takings from the bar, the cloakroom, and the door with previous weeks, and looking at the days against one another. It looked like things were on track for him to pay back the small loan he'd taken out from Gringotts to supplement his own investment in plenty of time, which the goblins always appreciated. He noted, with pleasure, that numbers and profits were steady, if not rising slightly after the initial drop off after the opening weekend.

Now, however, it was time for a drink. After all the wrangling with numbers his head was starting to spin slightly and drinking his own merchandise was only going to hurt his profit margins so he closed up the books and warded both his office and the club itself and set off for the short walk to Finnigan's.

Arriving he made his way to the bar and dropped himself on a free stool, feeling the tension of business begin to drop away from him in the cosy surroundings of the pub.

Seamus was tired. He'd woken up early than he'd like - and not in the best of circumstances. He'd taken the early shift, knowing others were coming in to cover the evening. Now, though, he was officially off duty - but he was still standing on the staff side of the bar, serving the occasional drink. A line of tension between his shoulders ached terribly, his feet hurt and there was something wrong with his left heel which made it difficult to walk smoothly.

Deep down, he knew that the minor aches and pains of bar work were only exaggerated today because of his mood, but that didn't stop him from feeling them. He arched his back in a stretch just as Charlie sat down and flushed, pulling his t-shirt back down over the thin strip of skin that he'd briefly exposed.

"What can I get you?" he asked, forcing unfelt cheerfulness into his tone. "And please, please don't say a burger because we're out. Somehow."

"Alcohol," Charlie said with feeling as Seamus made his way over. "Preferably beer in pint form. Firewhiskey also works," he said, rubbing slightly at the ache between his eyes that staring at paperwork for most of the afternoon had caused. "Although if you've got chips still I wouldn't say no. Fucking paperwork." He muttered the last part. Research had also generated a fair amount of paperwork, but it was far more interesting that columns upon columns of figures.

He shifted on the stool, bringing his feet up to rest on the bar, glancing down to check his prosthetic foot had settled where he wanted it to. "You look like you've had a long day," he said, recognising the stretch Seamus had been doing as he came in as one that helped after a full shift on his feet.

	Trailing one of his chips thoughtfully through a trail of salt he considered the possibilities. "I could do a couple of test nights. Wouldn't take much extra decoration, just a few flags, I remember them," he mused, mostly to himself. "Romi'd be pleased, I bet." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dean went to wrap a second arm around Seamus but looked at his fingers and made a face at the charcoal smudges. "Yeah, I know." "That sounds like an excellent idea," he said smiling broadly. "The group hug and the plan for the evening. All of the hugging and cuddles. You know me, I'm a fan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dropping the subject, Seamus wriggled away and returned to his saucepan, adding soured cream and various other ingredients until the sauce was actually sauce-like in consistency. "Nearly ready," he announced. "You want to eat at the counter or on the couch?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
