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?"

	"It is a rather lovely wall," she agreed and chuckled a bit. "What are you drinking? My treat." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Guinness," Urquhart said, smiling. "Dorothy Sayers said it's good for you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-05 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed. "And we believe Dorothy Sayers, down't we? Another Guiness for my friend here," she said and patted Urquhart's arm. "So,still passing slowly, yes?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course we do, she's a classic," Urquhart said. "Thanks. And yes, I am. At less-than-snails pace, at the moment. There's such nice walls in the City." He grinned at her. "To say nothing of the women." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sterrn chuckled. "So complimentary," she teased and then slid his beer to him when it arrived. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're welcome. So, what else has been up?" she asked as she sipped at her own beer. "Surely a man like yourself gets tired of holding up walls on occasion?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I took a broken pot to be mended," Urquhart said, and sipped his beer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sterrin's brows arched, momentarily befuddled, and then she laughed. "Slow it down, chief. You don't want to burn yourself out too quickly with all that partying," she teased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's a special pot," Urquhart said, "mending it is a special craft, and it can only happen in very special places." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-08 07:13 am UTC (link)
	"Well I'm glad you got that taken care of," Sterrin said with a nod. She didn't know much about special pots, but if it was a big deal to him it was good he'd found a place. "There's a little of everything in the City." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_maru 2010-05-08 07:17 am UTC (link)
	"Yes," Urquhart said. "A very good museum, with highly qualified specialists." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sterrin gave a little fist pump as she took a drink of her beer. "If it's one thing I'm always down with, it's specialists in a field," she said and smiled at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_maru 2010-05-08 07:23 am UTC (link)
	"Yes," Urquhart says. "That's what you need when you want a broken pot mended, after all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-08 07:29 am UTC (link)
	"I've never owned any special pots," Sterrin said after a moment of searching her memory. "But if I did, I'd definitely want a specialist to look at it if it broke." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_maru 2010-05-08 07:35 am UTC (link)
	"I don't own that potter, either," Urquhart said. "It's a red-figured kylix belonging to a collector I know which I accidentally broke last autumn. When I found the expert here, I had him send it to me so she could restore it. It wasn't exactly exported quite legally from Greece, so he couldn't just go anywhere with it."

	"Ooooh," she said and waved a hand in front of her face. "Now see, you save all the underhanded and illegal activity for last. I knew there had to be a catch somewhere with you," she teased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I said I solve problems, sometimes," Urquhart said, shrugging innocently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And you bury the lead!" she said, nudging him a little. "C'mon, Urq. You've gotta open with that shit!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_maru 2010-05-08 07:45 am UTC (link)
	"I'm now, aren't I?" Urquhart said, nudging back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her eyes shone with amusement and the alcohol she was consuming. "More," she said and nudged him again. "Please?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've met some interesting artists, too," Urquhart said. "The place is crawling with them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Meh, yeah, I guess so. There are lots of interesting people here. And I have a pretty high standard for interesting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
