Drink up, me hearties
Characters: Dean and Ron
Setting: A muggle pub in London mid-afternoon (say, 2 PM) Wednesday November 5th
Summary: Dean drags Ron out to a pub to see how he's doing, though he already knows the answer to that.
Rating: Worksafe, but will probably have some cursing

Dean sighed as he finished putting away the last of the clean dishes. Lunch with Justin had been nice, but Dean had mentioned his concern for Ron and how he was seeing him later the same afternoon. Dean had the feeling that this would not be the easiest drinking session he'd ever had.

Dean picked a muggle pub not too far from the Blackpool area. He might run into a few folks he knew, but they were unlikely to know Ron, and thus even less likely to come up and offer sympathies for his loss. He'd let Ron know where to meet him and then headed over. Shortly thereafter he was seaed at at table, with an eye peeled for Ron at the entrance.

Ron nodded at Dean's question. "Sure thanks." He downed the rest of his glass and set the empty on the table.

He wasn't really in the mood for small talk, but sitting there in silence wasn't going to be that comfortable either. He didn't know what to reach for, so he thought about what might keep Dean talking for a while. He'd already asked about Seamus, so he went for the next best thing. "How's the gallery?" It wasn't like Ron wouldn't be interested at any other time, but right now he just wanted to have a reason to sit in silence for a bit longer.

Dean had both glasses refilled and traced a drop of condensation into a small but intricate design.

"It's going well," Dean replied, suddenly feeling like Ron wanted the silence filled. "The hours are still good and I'm being exposed to a lot of potential clients for my own art. I'm nailing down a proper date for my own showing as well. Actually I've been having a bit more work than usual. The curator's been having nightmares and his assistant has been taking on some of his workload, which means I've been taking on some of hers. Unfortunately it doesn't mean a pay increase for either of us, but it does mean I'm getting the skills I'll need to advance sooner rather than later."
