Cooper had been debriefed.

Cooper had requested leave.

Cooper had been granted it.

That would be why he comes into the bar, dressed in his civvies and looking a might bit better than the last time. It's also why he's got a packed bag.

No, he's not vacationing in Milliways; he'd just been on the way to the airport for his actual vacation. This

"Oi, Coop!" Spoon has put his armor away, and had a shower. He is now descending upon his friend with a pair of pints.

Yes.

A pair of them.

[krazyglusurgeon]

He raises an eyebrow.

"Getting the second round out of the way, mate?"

[there_is_a_me]

"In a matter of speaking." Spoon says, handing Cooper one of them and raising the other, "Medications are down low enough that I can drink with you."

[krazyglusurgeon]

That gets a grin on his face.

"Good news, then," he says with a grin before picking up his and taking a long pull. He thinks it over for a second before holding the glass up for a tap.

[there_is_a_me]

Spoon taps his, and takes a nice, long swallow. "To the first fuckin' beer I've had since September, 2001."

[krazyglusurgeon]

"To the first fuckin' beer I've had with you since September, 2001," he agrees.

[there_is_a_me]

"But not the last." Spoon agrees, "Going on holiday?" and he heads for a couple of stools over at the bar.

[krazyglusurgeon]

He nods.

"Few days in the country. Had the place checked to make sure for zombies and what have you. Clean as a whistle."

He grins.

"I need it."

[there_is_a_me]

"Good! You do. You know mum'll always have you over at our place. Is Nelly sticking with your mum?" Spoon kicks back a bit and grins. He means it; Cooper has needed this.

[krazyglusurgeon]

"I asked her if she wanted to come. Apparently, she's decided she likes Mum's cooking so she's staying there."

He grins at Spoon.

"Thanks for teaching her, by the way."

[there_is_a_me]

"Fair enough, fair enough." Spoon grins at his best friend, "Me fuckin' pleasure, Coop. Worth every second of time spent to see your face light up."

[krazyglusurgeon]

"She's a good girl, Nelly," he murmurs before another sip. Then he chuckles.

"Met a young man about here. Some big fluff dog belongs to one of the barteders."

Another sip.

"Feel like her Da or something."

[there_is_a_me]

"Well you are." Spoon says with a laugh, "Aren't you? In all the ways that matter?"

[krazyglusurgeon]

He nods.

"Suppose so. Don't know what I'm supposed to do about her dating, though."

[there_is_a_me]

"Check his breeding lines." Spoon says, "Because da' and I are starting a monster-hunting line and we'll want to see about breeding her or her pups into it."

[krazyglusurgeon]

"I'll see about asking," he says. "But who knows? I just know the thing was big and fuzzy."
