Slaughtered Lamb, evening, anyone? OTA/MW
The Lamb was never exactly quiet but Wednesday was one of its slightly less busy nights and there were a few free tables and the dartboard was free.

Charlie came in and looked around, waved to Molly and headed for the bar. "Hello sweetheart," he said. "Happy thhhhhhinko da mayo. Guiness please. Ah - and one for my friend here. What're you having?"

	"Aren't they fabulous?" Bea said as she lifted one foot and turned it from side to side so that the sparklies could catch in the light, then made her way over to Charlie and wrapped his neck in a biiiiiiiiiig Bea hug. "Hulllooo, handsome," she said and pressed a sound kiss to his cheek. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm planning on getting blitzed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mmmwah," Charlie said - well, against her neck really. She was a tall girl and in those shoes he had to reach up a bit to reach that. "That's why the Lamb," he said. "Even totally wazzoed we should be able to crawl as far as the lobby and Nick," he nodded to the handyman, "has promised to shepherd us all in the right direction. What are you having?"

	"Bless his heart," she said and then turned to blow a kiss at Nick. "I'm going to start with some tequila shots. How's that? Start as you mean to go on, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh indeed," Charlie said. "I started with this thing called a Black Opal that nearly blew my socks off. Guinness, tequila, tawny port and a coupla things I can't pronounce and it was ..." he made a face. "So I went onto Irish coffee for a bit. Have you eaten? I'd split a basket of onion rings with you if you like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Ooooh, that would be lovely!" She said and rubbed her stomach. "I'm starving and I probably should eat. Otherwise I wont' last through three shots before one of you strapping boys has to put me in cart and wheel me to my apartment."

Her first shot was delivered and she sprinkled salt on her hand, licked it, took the shot, and then bit into a lime slice.

"Shew!" she said and shook her head a little bit, then turned to Charlie.

"High Five!" she said, lifting one hand. "I get laid again in a little over a week!!!"

	Charlie obliged, his own teeshirt riding up a bit to flash a tummy almost as smooth as hers. He tried to be butch but didn't really have the equipment. "Well then best celebrate now," he said. "because you don't want to be wheelbarrowed when Eli gets home!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-05 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	Bea did another shot, then laughed as the buzz of alcohol started pumping through her blood. "Oooh honey, that's where you're wrong," she teased and poked his tummy. "I'd be down for the Wheelbarrow position. I just don't know if I'd have the arm strength for it!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	essayel 2010-05-05 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Charlie stared then snickered. "Sorry, took me a moment there," he said. "there's a wheelbarrow position? Er - no don't tell me here. I want to be able to come here again. Have you heard from your man then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-05 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I have," she said and sighed a little. "He called and we got to talk for just a few minutes, but at least I know he's okay. They're having to be really careful as their camp has come under attack and one of the guys got shot walking to the shower. He also says it's hot as hell. I'm still worried sick but... Well, hearing from him goes a long way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charlie reached across and gave her a squeeze. "Not long now," he said. "We can go to the UK and have a fun time and then you can rush back to meet him. The trip away will stop you from spending ALL your time counting the minutes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, I'm SO excited to go see Andy. I've missed her something fierce too," she said and squeezed Charlie back. "When are we leaving?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Latish Saturday night," Charlie said. "We hope that way that Nia will sleep most of the way. After we get to Heathrow - well that's up to you. Do you want a couple of days to see the sights in London or to go straight to Norfolk to see Andy and Erik?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-05 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Oooh," Bea said and thought about that. "Well, what are you guys going to do? I wouldn't want to be a burden. It doesn't much matter to me. I'm fine with looking at London and I'm doubly fine with rushing off to seeAndy right away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	essayel 2010-05-05 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"We'll probably go home for a couple of days before we head to Norfolk," Charlie said. "See, Heathrow is here," he made a dot on the bar with a drip of beer from a ring someone had left," and Erik's place is here," another dot well up and to the right, "and home's here," a third dot up a bit and way to the left. "That way we can get Nia un-jetlagged in comfort." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-05 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Ahhh," Bea said with a nod. "Well then, I think I'll run straight off to see Andy. I haven't seen, heard from or talked to her since about a week before she left, I think. We'll have loads to catch up on. And, you know, in case she needs a female around for the girly pre-wedding things. Whatever those are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She'll be needing some support," Charlie said. "I rang her a couple of days ago and she was bitching about her ankles. She needs someone to take her mind off being pregnant and having nothing to do but worry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-05 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Awww," Bea said with her lower lip slightly stuck out. "Poor thing. It must be miserable. I'm so excited to see her. She'd be what,six months along or so now? Seven?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	call_me_chas 2010-05-05 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Seven," Charlie said, "I think. Trust Andy to do it all different. I do miss her. And Erik. When I was feeling frazzled it was always good to drop in on them and be told to pull my socks up. Sympathetically unsympathetic, if you know what I mean." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-05 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	Bea laughed. "Oh, yes I do. She informed me that she was going to allow me exactly three days to get my shit together over Eli leaving, and on the third day I had to grow a set because I'm a woman, dammit. I miss the heck out of her. I wish the UK were closer. I'd pester the shit out of her all the time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	call_me_chas 2010-05-05 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Awww," Charlie said. "I'd pass you my phone only it's - what? About three ay emm there and if we woke her now she'd have my nuts in a grater." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-06 06:29 am UTC (link)
	"Oh Jesus," Bea said with a laugh. "No, let's not disturb her. Much as I'd miss those Andy "Here's your ass" presentations, I hate it when I fall victim to them. And you! You're too cute to have your ass handed to you like that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm cute?" Charlie beamed. "I'm cute," he informed Molly as she passed on her way to her next customer. "Bea says so - yay!" He stool danced and spilled a bit of his drink. "Oops. You're cute too and I think we need to get you fit ready for all the exertion when Eli gets back. So - bicep curl - lift that glass!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bea laughed and took a long pull off of the beer that appeared out of nowhere. She looked up at the bartender.

"Where did this come from?" she asked, and the guy smiled and pointed to another guy down at the end of the bar.
It was hard to see from all the people, but that guy looked just like the fan she and Sean had had the issue with. And her and Eli too, for that matter.

"Fuck," she murmured to Charlie and turned her back on the guy. "Do you see that guy? Did Sean tell you about the fan at the convention? That is him."

	Charlie's smile faded for a moment then he looked past her and made a quick mental snapshot of the man. "It might be best not to drink that then," he suggested quietly, as he slipped his arm around her waist. "There could be anything in it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-06 01:34 pm UTC (link)
	Bea pushed the beer awy and very purposefully didn't look in the guy's direction. "How fucking creepy is this?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
