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?"

	"No idea," Urquhart said. "I just came for a drink and throwing some darts. Nothing's quite as relaxing." There was a Scottish accent to his voice, faded by upper crust British and amorphous international influences. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To Allan it was just a generic Brit accent that wasn't quite English enough to make him wary. There was something else though - some tension in the man's neck, maybe, a shade in his eyes - whatever it was Allan wouldn't be getting drunk with this chance met stranger. "Darts are a fine thing," he said. "invented by the Irish, of course." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I always thought it was bored English soldiers throwing short arrows at the bottom of an empty barrel," Urquhart said. "As if that would make it less empty." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They're filled with celtic passion," Allan said. "Unlike the English who are cold hearted bastards - unless we like them," he glanced across the bar to were Charlie was inching along with a tray of full pint glasses, "in which case they can be forgiven." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But Charlie was from the Welsh border, so at least a little bit Celtic by association? But Urquhart wasn't supposed to know that much about the Manor people. "We can wait," Urquhart said instead. "Whiskey gets better with time, after all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Quality," Allan agreed. "Though sometimes fast and raw can be just what's needed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, for the fast and raw, there's vodka or tequila," Urquhart points out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Or some well brewed poteen, with good company and music," Allan suggested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That sounds like a lot of fun," Urquhart said, smiling to himself. He remembers get-together with Irish clients that ended just like that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
