“you sure you want to go down that path, beau bear?”

“I dunno, Robin, that path seems like the right place to me.”

I don’t know. Whats an interesting story from around here? Any escaped St Mungo’s patients? Anything wild?

The only wild thing around here is Hannah’s cat. November’s pretty boring–everyone’s saving up their celebration for the holidays. Give it a month, and this place’ll be covered in tinsel and drunk professionals.

“No, not quite. Anything else, take a crack at it. I would love to tell you about the intricacies of my job, but then I’d have to kill you.”

“Well then. Anything you’re in need of a barkeep confessional for?”

[beaucorny]

@racheljord​

“so it’s your bar now? i thought it was hannah’s.”

“Well it’s Hannah’s, and then mine, and then a whole long line of people, and then way, way at the bottom of the list, your’s.

“That sounds about right. Sitting at home, all on my lonesome, holds no competition for your witty banter.”

“Exactly as it should be. I suppose I can’t just ask you how work is going?”

[beaucorny]

@racheljord​

“i always have room in my stomach for your cooking.”

“Well if you’re going to sit at my bar and eat my food, you have to keep me company while I close.”

“hm, just you and your handsome self.”

“Anything for you, my love,” he said with a snort. “But really, do you want dinner or something?”

“I don’t know. What might bring a lovely lady such as myself to a fine establishment on a chilly evening?”

“Warm fire, nothing better to do, and, of course, my irreplaceable company?”

[beaucorny]

“Then I’ll have one of those!”

“Coming right up. What brings you in on this fine evening?”

[beaucorny]

“I don’t know. What’s the special?”

“It’s whiskey sours tonight. But I do make a pretty wicked Boulevardier”

[beaucorny]

“So what’s it going to be?”

“Good thing you didn’t come alone, then. You would’ve picked out something terrible– or you would’ve have come at all and just said that you did,” Rachel said as she stood up from the floor and dusted herself off. “Or maybe it’s you not being able to admit that you were looking at me in a way that you’ve never looked at me before?” Rachel rolled her eyes.

“Yes, yes, yes, I’m glad you forced me to come shopping. Happy?” Beau asked, paying for the table and making arrangements to pick it up on their way out of the market. “Now do I need more than a coffee table, or can we go home?” He hoped asking to go home would distract her from the whole ‘who was looking at who, how,’ line of thought. It was dangerous territory, after all.

“Don’t know what you’re doing, exactly, but it’d be wonderful if you could do it quietly.” Her hangover has a hangover.

[beaucorny]

“Lil, I’m wiping down a table. You know, like we do when we open. Which we’re doing.”

“Yeah, I do,” Rachel smiled small, feeling a rush of heat in her face, specifically her cheeks. She looked away before she thought Beau had noticed. “It’s your table, or do you trust me that much to do an amazing job?” she asked as more of a rhetorical question and looked up at him. “You’re looking at me funny,” she said with a smirk, feeling that same flush to her skin but ignoring it.

[beaucorny]

At her question, Beau rolled his eyes. “Of course I trust you. You know I have the artistic sensibilities of a potato. Actually, I’ve seen more artistic potatoes.” Beau raised an eyebrow. “I’m looking at you like I always look at you. Maybe it’s you looking at me funny and then thinking I’m looking at you– you know what, we’ll call it a draw,” he said with a smirk.

“Because you love and adore me,” Rachel grinned cheekily. She turned, her hair whiping with her. Rachel walked around the table a few times, even analyzed it so much as sitting in front of it and looking at it extremely closely. “If you let me fix it up for you, I haven’t done a table in ages.”

[beaucorny]

Beau smiled, feeling a flush rise in his cheeks. “It’s true, you know,” he said quietly, before he could take it back. He glanced at Rachel, sitting on the ground, staring at the table, and felt an overwhelming rush of affection for her. As long as Rach was at his side, he could do anything. “’Course, Rach. Whatever you want.”

“Shit I–sorry.” Clara’s voice was sharp when she spoke, she’d just tripped on some eleven year old’s trunk –summer had just started what were they doing getting school supplies already?– and was very irritated. It might have been the very odd heat speaking but she didn’t care enough to d’well on it. She’d just finished another shift at work and really didn’t want to go home just yet, so she made her way down Diagon Alley. Clara wasn’t paying attention –when was she?– causing her to bump into someone, they were lucky she was so small. She groaned, her voice was still sharp and angry, “I’m so sorry.”

[beaucorny]

Beau was already running late–fucking cat had unplugged his alarm in the middle of the night–and the Alley was ungodly crowded for mid-July and it was Saturday, and the pub was bound to be incredibly busy which meant a stressful night for him and Rachel wasn’t even working. And now he was falling over himself trying not to fall onto the cobblestones and there was a girl apologizing without meaning it and why the fuck did he ever leave his flat. Trying to arrange his face into something resembling pleasant, Beau gave her a small smile. “No harm done,” he said, running his palms against his thighs.
