Happy Hour

Feb 17, 2006 20:39

As Edmund comes out of the House of Arch for bartending this Friday evening, he is rather noticeably not accompanied by Kitty.

It's noticeable, of course, because he is accompanied by... Alex ( Read more... )

"Hullo, Edmund," says Susan with a wave. She looks slightly less weepy, if still not her usual self. "Having a good evening so far?"

iustus_rex February 18 2006, 04:01:28 UTC

"Hullo, Su," he replies, with no small amount of concern. "The evening's been fine on this end, but I do hope you'll forgive me if I say it doesn't quite look as though it has for you."

once_a_queen February 18 2006, 04:03:20 UTC

"Oh, never mind me. I've been rather weepy today for no good reason."

iustus_rex February 18 2006, 04:12:38 UTC

The concern is rather failing to fade quickly away.

"I'm hardly going to not mind you, Su," he protests, waving her towards one of the barstools. "Have a seat, at least, and let me get you something to drink."

once_a_queen February 18 2006, 04:15:38 UTC

"All right. Perhaps a red wine? A cabernet savignon would be lovely," she says, settling down. It's nice to have a fuss made over you sometimes.

iustus_rex February 18 2006, 04:18:18 UTC

He is, it might be said, more than willing to fuss over his big sister, especially when he's not seen her nearly enough lately.

So the wine is fetched, and poured, and he still looks rather worried really as he sets the bottle down and studies her.

once_a_queen February 18 2006, 04:31:18 UTC

She sips, and then looks up, noticing the studying.

"Edmund, I'm fine. I just had an off day, is all. How are you?"

iustus_rex February 18 2006, 04:44:08 UTC

He smiles a little, ruefully.

"If you say so, Su, then I'll believe you. And I've been fine, or at least as well as can be expected when I've slightly less than five weeks until the wedding."

once_a_queen February 18 2006, 04:54:08 UTC

"Do you need help with anything? I might be of some assistance, if there is."

iustus_rex February 18 2006, 04:59:40 UTC

"Oh, I'm sure we do," he says, almost glumly. "I've no idea what's going on, really. I'm still trying to get her a decent ring, and I haven't even remembered to ask her if she's already got them planned out."

once_a_queen February 18 2006, 05:06:04 UTC

"Oh dear, you are behind." Susan is quite worried.

iustus_rex February 18 2006, 05:11:25 UTC

"Well, I mean, the wedding band, not the engagement ring," he hastens to assure her.

"... but technically I've not actually got the faintest idea who's officiating."

Edmund's face is something like this: >

once_a_queen February 18 2006, 05:20:29 UTC

"Um. Well, I suppose... heavens, I don't know what to say? I wonder if London Below has any kind of officiants?"

iustus_rex February 18 2006, 05:36:34 UTC

"I've no idea," he says, rather glumly. "I mean-- I'm sure there are plenty of people here in the bar, I believe I've met the angel who married Bernard and Tonks, but I suppose it depends on what Kitty wants."

Yeah, he's pretty well whipped.

Doesn't seem to mind, so much.

once_a_queen February 18 2006, 05:41:04 UTC

Not so much whipped as wisely letting the woman take charge of the wedding.

"Well, perhaps she has more done than you think."

iustus_rex February 18 2006, 05:43:18 UTC

"I wouldn't be surprised," he says, shaking his head a little and reaching for his tea.

"Should... would you like it, then, if I asked her if there's something you could do to help?" he asks a moment later, somewhat hesitantly.
