Seamus put in the order for table five, laughing as the chef joked with him. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone coming up to the bar, and he reached down to grab a byro and writing tablet.

He walked down the bar to the new customer, not looking up until he stood directly in front of her. Mandy looked back at him, looking as if she was about to bolt out of the pub.

He smiled softly at her. "Hey. Can I get you anything?" He was nervous. They'd been avoiding one another for over a week now. Even when they met each other in the hall as one was leaving and the other returning they'd avoided each other.

Seamus's smiled wavered a bit as he recalled their last meeting, but he held his gaze.

He asked a question! Mandy's inner voice prodded her to respond but the rest of her was a little preoccupied with the recollection of the last time she had spoken to Seamus. One hand was jammed into the pocket of her jeans and the other was drummed her thigh nervously, but she managed to return his gaze without looking away.

"Umm. I don't know. I think I'd like a drink, just had a job interview and need to calm the nerves, you know?"

You're babbling. Stop before you embarrass yourself!

This feeling she had around Seamus now was unfamiliar and definately not welcome. If he didn't want to have anything to do with her then fine, Mandy just wished it didn't matter.

"Oh? An interview? That's good." He nodded. "So, what's the job?" Seamus had always been hopeless at coming up with small talk to people he actually know. It was kind of odd, really. Put any stranger in the world in front of him, and there would hardly ever be a lull in the conversation. Put someone he had a bad history with in front of him, though? Completely and utterly hopeless.

He walked to the beer taps and stood there for a moment, realizing she hadn't really told him what kind of drink she wanted. There was a lot of alcohol in front of him, and he hadn't a clue what she wanted.

"What kind of drink? Beer? Cider? Liquor? Pop?"

"Some sort of liquor, I don't mind. Thought you would have remembered I hate beer-"

Mandy winced internally. That had come out without her even realising it, and she didn't want to push Seamus away totally. She'd rather a little small talk than ignoring each other completely.

"If I get it I'll be Blaise Zabini's personal assistant. It'd be good, there are flexible hours so I have time to work on other things. I need some funds so I can start working with magical creatures so this really would be perfect."

Her fingers were still drumming her thigh in a steady rythm.

"How has this job been working out for you? I heard Romilda Vane has started here..."
