Peter Pettigrew & OPEN

Seeing the same people and feeding them and watching them all get increasingly frustrated with each other had made Peter feel like he was crawling out of his skin a little bit. Even though everyone survived relatively unscathed, he was still, well, a little twitchy. He didn't drink much but he was pretty sure this week called for a drink. So he sat himself right at the bar on Saturday night and ordered a beer. No, he didn't have a specific beer he wanted. Yes, he was sure. No, he didn't want something else. So then he got a beer and sipped it and pulled a face. Ah well, he thought, it was something in his hand and something to do at least.

"Not a fan of beer, huh?" Clarke grinned at the guy, a little amused at the face she'd seen him make when she approached the bar and ordered her own drink. It had certainly been a rough few days while everything was on lock down, even if things with Sirius had ended well enough. It could have been so much worse, she knew. He'd taken a hard knock on the head. She was glad he'd pulled through it and no worse for wear, as far as she knew.

"It's kind of an acquired taste," she offered. "The more you drink, the better it tastes." Of course, before the Enterprise, about all she'd had to drink was the equivalent of moonshine and crudely made wines. Her Earth didn't exactly have an abundance of liquor stores. Or any.

Peter looked up in surprise as the blonde girl started talking to him. "Uh - I don't know. I don't drink a lot. My friends always liked going out to the pub but we didn't have beer like this. I like butterbeer mostly, but they haven't got that here." He wondered, not for the first time, if there might be some way to replicate it. If this ship could make whole places appear out of nowhere on the holodeck, couldn't it make an accurate butterbeer?

"Maybe you should try asking for something sweeter," she suggested. She'd never had butterbeer, but the Harry Potter books had been one work to survive through the centuries and she'd read them as a child. She didn't know if he was talking about the same thing or another drink of the same name, but it didn't sound quite the same as regular beer. She thought the taste was probably very different. She didn't have that much experience with drinking, herself, but it was enough to know beer wasn't the best tasting thing in the world, at least to her taste buds.

	He looked at her. "Yeah, I had something fruity last time but it gave me a headache." He didn't know if it had been it sweetness or the alcohol content, but either way. "I don't know. I've seen a lot of people drinking this though, here. It doesn't even taste like the beer back home either, in England, in the muggle pubs." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It doesn't taste like the stuff where I come from, either," she admitted. "It's probably going to take us both some time to adjust." Even on the Ark, what they'd had was limited. They didn't have the big selection they had here nor did they have the pubs he referred to. Clarke wasn't that picky and could enjoy what they did have, but there was still adjusting to be done.
