Rare Books Shop, Saturday

Jan 21, 2006 14:50

It's a good thing angels don't get hangovers, because Aziraphale feels stupid enough as it is. The shop is open, and there's tea and scones in the lounge (but most emphatically not a keg of beer). And the proprietor himself is about, although he's trying to make himself scarce.

How much explanation do books really need?

There's no beer. But the tea is really very good.

Susan came in about mid-afternoon, determined not to spend the day holed up in her flat. Remembering Mr. Azriphale's kind invitation, she set out in search of the book store, and found it after only a little negotiation.

The tea and muffins were a nice surprise, though.

Coming out from the kitchen (where he was fixing the sink that Wilson had broken), Aziraphale smiles delightedly at Susan.

"Good day, my dear! I'm so pleased you could stop in. How are you adjusting things at the school?"

He pours himself a cup of tea and sits down in one of the armchairs.

"After a very bumpy start, rather well, I think." Susan took a sip of Oolong, grateful that it was available after she'd mentioned it to him. "The aides at the clinic are all such bright girls, and Dr. Wilson and Dr. House have been quite helpful. And the, uh, stranger elements are becoming more comprehensible with time." She smiled. "How has your week been?"

He'll give you butterscotches. He will not help you get drunk.

Standing in the kitchen, arms crossed over his chest, Wilson tried to pretend he was not totally oggling the angel's jean encased legs as they stuck out from beneath the kitchen sink.

"It was beer....you know you always complain about never going out for a pint but when you do and you get drunk and enjoy yourself you spend the next day brooding worse than Angel."

Sighing and shaking his head a little, he watched the way the t-shirt Phale was wearing rode up his trim abdomen when the other man wriggled further under the counter.

"Do you even know how to use a wrench?"

Re: AZIRAPHALE a_phale January 21 2006, 20:11:57 UTC

"Heavens, James. What did you do to this? And of course I know how to use a wrench."

There's a clang, and then a muffled "Bugger!". And then the angel slides back out from under the sink.

"I cannot understand why you're so insistent that I fix this by hand. It's silly, really. Just fixing it would be so much easier." Aziraphale glowers up at Wilson. "And I do not brood."

Re: AZIRAPHALE dr_jwilsonmd January 21 2006, 20:16:30 UTC

"I was trying to help clean the trap. Not my fault your kitchen isn't set up to be left hand person friendly." Wilson responded grumpilly before moving to sit up on the kitchen table, watching the other man.

"Easier but no where near as satisfying, you have to admit." Wilson said with a little poke upwards. "And besides...you are too brooding. You're brooding like a brooding...brooder."

Wilson paused and sort of made a face at himself for that but then continued.

"At this rate I'll have to borrow Sean back from Angel...but that's not the point I was trying to make. If you're going to brood then you should do some peninence like to relieve yourself of the guilt of...what is it you're feeling guilty of again... oh yes... having a beer or...ten."
