[OOM: Five Days Away and A Favour]

David enters the bar through the front door, and brushes a little snow from his shoulders.

He looks around and thinks: it's just the same.

He takes a backpack from his back and sets it down in a booth, looking for friends or lovers.

Angelo walks in from the staff quarters and pauses for a second on seeing David, then continues towards the bar.

[notsoyoung]

David, not being one to shy away from confrontation with the one single person he's really here to see, follows him.

"Sorry."

The word he meant was, "Hi," but apparently his brain felt "sorry" was more appropriate.

[spectral_skin]

Angelo glances round at him and may slow down slightly, but doesn't stop.

"Okay."

[notsoyoung]

He catches Angelo's hand gently.

"Don't be like that, please."

[morgue_matron]

She wanders over very carefully, not sure if she's got the right person or not. Cautiously, she holds out a hand to the young? man smiles as disarmingly as she can.

"H-hello, David, is it? My, uh, my name is Natalie...and I think you're...well, you're friends with my fiancee? Nick?"

She laughs nervously.

"If I'm wrong about this...sorry. Just, uh, I was hoping I could meet some of the people he talks about all the time since I'm not really, well, social."

[notsoyoung]

He turns around as the lady approaches her.

"Oh, I... not at all, no need to apologise," he says, raising a hand to the back of his head and smiling, smoothing down his hair.

He moves his other hand to hers and shakes her hand.

"And yes, I'm David. David Talbot. Nick's spoken of you, but I've never had the pleasure of meeting anyone he speaks of, really."

He smiles, broken tooth forgotten, and blushes somewhat. To think that others talk of him when he's not there makes him flush.

[OOC: Meh. I hate this. Slowtime okay? 'Cause I'm just about to dive into a shower and then go to bed. Work at 9am, and I'm fast approaching midnight]

[morgue_matron]

She grins.

"I'm like some urban myth...lots of people have heard of me, but so few have actually me. I admit...I'm not the most social of people. I spent most of our...forced time here up in my room reading some books I found. But I will admit that Nick was right about one thing: you certainly are a very nice man."

[it happens! see ya later!]

[notsoyoung]

He blushes, rather noticeably. "I... have no idea what to say to that, except thank you. And I have several thousand books in my collection, if you'd like to borrow some?"

[go_between]

Richard hangs up his apron and walks over to David and kisses the top of his head.

"Hello there."

[notsoyoung]

He smiles up at Richard. "Hi." He turns and wraps his arms around Richard's waist.

"Just bringing some things in for Angelo. How was your shift?"

[go_between]

"Fine, I was hours late though. Time runs a bit differently in New Orleans, I think. That and I had to pry away from Armand."

*strokes his hair*

"You want any supper before we go back?"

[notsoyoung]

He smiles against Richard's stomach, and nods. "Just a little. It's been another two days since you left... and that would be this morning? Armand's hating every second you're away from him, but he had to go hunting tonight for the presents for Angelo."
