Drinkin' with a wizard?

[cantbewithhim]

Ennis pulled up looking more than a little lost. He had been round the block about three times before ending at Fred's place. Town looked.. different than he remembered. He stalled the pick-up and waited to see if Fred would notice him outside or if he'd have to park and get out.

Fred so wasn't hanging out by the window waiting for Ennis. He had just happened to be standing there, staring outside, because... he just was. Okay? That's all.

So when he saw the blue pick-up pull up to the curb, and when Ennis certainly didn't get out -- well, alright! Fred grabbed his coat and keys, turned off the lights and went outside, locking the door behind him. He waved down at Ennis, trotting down the flight of stairs and making his way to the truck.

"Howdy."

He chuckled, not even turning to face the other man as he started for the pub.

"Y'made good time."

"S'not like it's a far walk from the door to your truck. What's up? How've you been?" Fred smiled.

"Alrigh'.. Been busy. With... thin's."

[imthedeadone]

"Ah, smart. Water, right." Fred pointed a finger at Ennis, nodding admirably.

He tossed the bottle at Fred, pulling out a flask of whiskey for himself as he lead them to the couch. "When're ya leavin'?"

Unscrewing the bottle and taking few long drinks, Fred sat down heavily. "Wednesday. Bright and early." He made a face. "Still gotta figure out exactly what time to head out, though, to make it there at the, you know, the time. That I want to get there." He offered the bottle of water to Ennis with raised eyebrows.

Ennis shook his head, taking a swig of whiskey. "I ain' some.. girl or somethin'. Jus' too drunk t'drive."
