Looking for her husband...hannah_salixJune 20 2017, 22:33:57 UTC
Hannah walked into the pub, scanning the room for her husband. Derek had gone out on a raid and sometimes would stop at the pub before coming home. There was no sign of him, from what she could see. The Winking Skeever was a dank and dark pub, it was hard to see the faces of their patrons.
She walked up to the bar and looked at Darin. "Have you seen my husband, and do you have any of the good salads in?" Might as well have a bite to eat while she waited for him.

Ah, Hannah. One of Darin's favorite patrons. "Just the usual," he replied with a smile. "Iceburg?" Darin never could tell if Hannah hated him or had developed tolerant-bordering-on-like feels over the years. He liked to think it was the latter. The same applied to his salads, which were only on the menu because Hannah had once requested something "light".
"Derek's around here somewhere. Stepped off to the loo, I think." Darin nodded to a spot a ways down the bar. "That's his pint."

It had been a long day at work. Derek had been far too keyed up to come straight home and Hannah had given him license to hit the pub on days like this so here he was, unwinding. The Skeever may be 'dank and dark' but it had the benefit of being his pub. It felt like a home away from home- frightening as that may be. Plus, where else could he drink practically for free?
He emerged from the rear hallway fully intending to finish his second pint and bother Darin some more when he spotted his wife at the bar. "Hey," Derek smiled as he touched Hannah's back lightly and came to stand at her side. "Am I running that late?"
