Traveling always leaves me famished, and I think I need to continue making a good impression on your people here. If we go to teh pub, will you be joining us?

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:00:11 AM)
*He rolled over a little purring you could almost see the tail swishing comfortably back and forth content as he curled up a little more with happiness*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:03:15 AM)
::she smiles:: I know you're hungry... ::she pauses:: I can go. I... will need to eat. Colin won't forgive me if I don't. ::she nods to him:: I'll go... and eat. ::she slides her hands down his stomach:: You may wish to get a bit more comfortable... lest they think I'm with a nancy. ::she winks::

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:03:29 AM)
::she calls into the other room:: Is there a hungry kitty?

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:04:00 AM)
*A meow* Going to the pub?

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:04:20 AM)
Drinks and food... Colin is likely to have a roast on. ::she calls back::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:04:27 AM)
*he laughs* I'm not a nancy. I'll go change into somethign a little more... casual. *he heads to his duffle bag, removing his dress clothes, hanging them all carefully and putting on jeans, an Iron Man T-Shirt, and his running shoes.*

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:05:13 AM)
*Happy sounds and him taking his robe off beneath the same ripped jeans and grey t shirt he slides on his docs digs in his back tugs a cabled sweater on over the t shirt and gets a long striped black and white scarf and fingerless gloves to match*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:08:01 AM)
::she smiles and moves out, to put her boots on, lacing them up as she grins to herself, shaking her head:: Lamb roast... potatoes.. and vegetables... and likely barley stew. ::she got up, ready to go, it was getting a little darker outside and she moved outside while they dressed, greeting the sheep, who all flocked to the gate when she approached, bleating incessantly their 'hellos', but she made her way to the horses, arms around them, stroking noses and giving them soft whispers of 'hello'::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:09:53 AM)
*Alex watches her, and feeling the chill in the air, he pulls a simple black hoodie from his duffle bag, slipping it on and zipping it up* Ok, I am ready to go if you all are. *Alex is conspicuously unarmed*

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:10:40 AM)
*Looks to Alex and smiles*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:12:12 AM)
::she smiles:: You're going to freeze... ::looking towards the car and she moved to climb into the Range Rover:: I hope you guys are hungry... Colin's going to feed you until you explode. ::she winks and pulls around, waiting for them::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:13:05 AM)
I'm gonna need it so the alchol doesn't kick my ass....*he got in the range rover as well tucking the scarf around himself to keep warm layers were the key here !*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:13:57 AM)
I'll be fine. I imagine that they are going to feed me, and probably try and drink the big american under the table. I imagine I won't be col... *and then he gets this big goofy grin on his face that screams "aww... shucks."*

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:14:29 AM)
*He simply shakes his head* mental masterbation...*shudders and sends off a text*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:14:40 AM)
His bread is almost as good as Nana's... :: she smiles and starts to get them moving, rolling down the dirt and faintly muddy road:: Rain tonight, likely too... ::as she gets them going, driving quickly, as though she fears no wild animal running over their path::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:15:44 AM)
*Alex claims shotgun, riding, happily, looking out the window, and every few moments glancing back at Aislinn with that big dumb happy farmboy smile on his face.*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:15:51 AM)
::she slides her hand into Alex's, resting on his leg for the drive there. Passing a few people, most wave and smile when Ais is there, and she offers her own waves and a grin. It's easy to tell when they get to town, and the connection Ais has tends to slip a bit, leaving the three of them feeling slightly more empty::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:17:05 AM)
*He doesn't seem to be phased about the slightly empty it was an old familiar feeling though he missed the filling he'd decided he would work hard on that sacred place...to finally connect the heavens and earth in that one place to call it his own.*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:17:13 AM)
*As he feels that connection shlip from him he squeezes her hand slightly. looking over to her. He doesn't seem worried or upset, but he notices her absence inside him mind and soul.* You know, I spent some time lookign up Irish drinking songs.

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:18:47 AM)
::she grins:: Oh? Are you planning on rousing the locals with your drinking songs? ::she pulls up beside a few old trucks and cars lining a gravel parking lot and she slips out, looking around. The scent of roasting meat can indeed be smelled, and warmth and light spilled from the pub, a little more modern than Ais' little cottage::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:20:17 AM)
Well, if they start singing, I figured it would help me fit in if I could sing along. *he grins.* You know, I want to fit in here. I want to be able to come home with you again in the future.

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:20:57 AM)
::she smiles:: They're a good group of people, just... be yourself. Though... I doubt they'll get comic book references... ::she winks to him and starts to head for the door::

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:22:24 AM)
::she pauses, looking to Alex:: Alex.. they're farmers... herders...

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:22:29 AM)
*He heads in after Ais and Alex looking around slowly figuring out who's who and whats what*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:22:56 AM)
*He falls into step with Aislinn again* No one ever does, really. *moving in from the cold with her, shivering a bit as he cross the threshold, drinking in the traditional Irsih pub with his eyes.. When she mentions this he grins* My kinda folks. *A bit of his southern accent cropping back in to his voice*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:25:04 AM)
::it was... your typical Irish pub. Not full to the brim, but busy enough. Colin was behind the bar, pulling up brews and talking loudly, genially laughing and carousing could be seen. A few young guys playing drinking games, or darts, a few of the farmers arguing about the -best- way to raise sheep... it seemed a very old and tired debate. It was warm, inviting, and happy. Colin waved to them happily::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:25:51 AM)
*He nodded and slid up to the bar* I believe a round was promised and I hear you have my favorite thing to eat *he grins the teeth still a little long and the eyes still mismatched*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:28:24 AM)
*He grins ear to ear hering the talk of farmers, so simmilar to his own home in Tennessee. without even thinking about it, he slips an arm around Aislinn's shoulder and gives her a squeeze heading to the bar* And a few stories of... what did you call her? the Wee Beansidhe? I would really love to hear anything you can share about her.

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:31:26 AM)
::she grinned, heading to the bar, and Colin was already drawing up something for Ais, setting it before her before he looked to the other two, giving Ais a wink. She was already blushing, before she got waylaid by a few older men, moving to surround her, give her hugs and speak with her. The pub gave Ais a warm welcome, lifted mugs in greeting, people pleased to see her. Colin grinned:: Evening, lads... we have dinner o'course, I've got a right good lamb roast on, and me Sally put on some of her beef barley stew. Yer welcome to wot ye'd like... as fer the ale... 'tis on me. What will ye have? ::he winks to Alex:: Ach... the wee one. What is it ye wish tae knae?

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:33:12 AM)
*He chuckles and definately accepts the food knowing alex was going to ask all the questions anyway that he wanted to know he simply said* guiness...fair warning that one can drink like a mule...*points to Alex* So make sure you get him right and properly souced.

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:33:24 AM)
Well, it sounds like I need to start with the stew, and I would love some of the roast. As for the ale, I like mine dark, bitter, and strong enough to kick a man's teeth in. *he grins* As for tales of the lady... *he arches his eyebrows a bit* So what was she like growing up?

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:35:49 AM)
::Colin nods the boys to a comfortable booth:: I'll be along with yer food in a moment, lemme get tha boy up tae take o'er. ::talking to a younger version of himself, who stepped into the role of tender quickly, keeping the drinks flowing. Both men got a nod for their drink choices, obvious approval that neither were going for the American shit, and he handed them over before heading out back to get their dinner. Ais was in the middle of a group of people, talking in Gaelic, animatedly, rapidly as she was moving her hands, her drink about half gone already. Whatever it was, Ais liked it immensely::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:37:00 AM)
*He took his beer and sipped slowly knowing full well that he can't handle the alchol he wasn't about to end up piss drunk here. *

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:37:16 AM)
::Ais' drink was very pale, certainly not what the majority in here were drinking::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:39:27 AM)
*he takes the dark and bitter brew, looks around and sees most of the men in here are jsut tossing the se back, so when in rome... tilting the glass back and downing about half the pint in one go, he settles in, his eyes on Aislinn, not out of jealousy, but clearly because he likes seeing her so happy and in her element.* Thanks for the meal. I grew up on a farm myself. We raised dairy cattle, and grew vegetables mostly.

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:40:33 AM)
*To Colin* So ya think this one *pointing at Alex* Is sweet on Aislinn or what...*he chuckles sipping his guiness*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:42:13 AM)
::the guys got a few looks in their directions, most were friendly, curious, a few were guarded, but none were dark or malicious. It wasn't long before Colin was back, and he had a huge tray of food on his arm. Setting it down, it appeared he was going to eat with them. A large tureen of the fragrant beef barley soup was set down, and large bowls placed down. A huge basket of warm bread was also placed down, fresh butter as well. Colin just eyed over to Aislinn, who began to try and extricate herself from family friends, knowing that familiar look. Colin began to dish up, and he grinned a bit:: Oh, aye... he were hoverin' about her afore... ::eyes flicking to Alex:: Ye are sweet on the wee one? ::a simple question, seeking the answer from the source::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:43:24 AM)
*He took up food smirking a little and with some of the bread in mouth* almost as good as Nans...

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:43:33 AM)
(nana)

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:44:36 AM)
::Colin looked up to Dempsy and he blinked:: Ye knew Nana? ::looking a bit more closely to Demps::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:44:43 AM)
*he speaks quietly and simply, but very honestly* I love her. *it takes him a moment before he turns his attention to the food, and with a farmer's appetite, he digs in, sampling a little bit of everything and deeply enjoying the rich earthy tastes of freshly grown food he hasn't had since he lived on his own farm back home* Ohhh my god, this is fantastic.

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:45:01 AM)
*He simply smiles and lets Alex change the subject going about eating with a contented puurrr*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:48:45 AM)
::Colin smiles and sits down, though he gives Ais the hairy eyeball to come and -sit- down, and she continues to extricate herself, still chattering away in Gaelic, rapidly. Colin had a spoonful of soup and was just about to place it in his mouth when he heard Alex, eyes shifting from Demps to Alex, with a raised eyebrow:: Oh lad, it be easy tae love her. ::he chuckles a bit, shaking his head:: All the luck tae ye then, lad.... does she feel the same way? ::a pause at Alex's compliment:: I'll tell me Sally... ::he grins a bit, before he ate, and -just- as he appeared to be about to bellow Ais' name to come to the table, she plunked down her drink and sat down:: It looks lovely, Colin. ::she grins innocently::

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:51:17 AM)
Ye were always a naughty one... ::eyes twinkling as he chides her:: I see 'tisna changed one wee bit. Pixie devilishness... ::pointing a finger at her, before he pauses:: Sally wants teh see ye... head on back afore she figures I hadna sent ye. ::and Ais was up from the table, leaving dinner as she headed back::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:51:36 AM)
*Just before Ailinn sits, he whispers* I hope she does, but I'm not entirely sure. She's become a little distant, so we are taking things slowly. I've only told her how I feel once. *And then Aislinn arrives and Alex tucks in a bit letting her sit next to him* Oh my god, Ban... babe... you have got to try this stew. This is the most satisfying thing I have eaten, probably ever. *he grins to her and finishes off his first pint*

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:52:21 AM)
*mutters* Aside from Aislinn that is...*goes back to eating*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:53:41 AM)
*Alex kciks Dempsy's shin under the table playfully* Dude, really?

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:53:44 AM)
*He simply smiles at Alex eating and making mmmm sounds*

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:54:02 AM)
*Half full mouth* It's not me who says about making her scream in passion...

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:54:50 AM)
*Alex glares daggers at dempsy, and turns bright freaking red, waving to someone passing by in an official capacity to get him another pint*

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:55:23 AM)
*He goes back to eating smiling a little his eyes playful*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:56:08 AM)
::Ais grins:: Sally makes the best barley soup.. she's wonderful. ::and off Ais was to go to the kitchen in back. He grins to Alex and shakes his head:: When she loves she does it well, but ye just need teh pursue her. She's a lively one... spirited. Jes like her Nana, an' her mam... ::he pauses, eyeing between the two of them, before a raised eyebrow could be seen, and slight red coloring in the man's features::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 12:57:52 AM)
*He looks to Colin* I didn't do it...scouts honor...

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 12:57:56 AM)
Dempsy, time... place... *looking hopefully for that drink to come back befroe things get more exciting, offering collin a sheepish grin, still very friendly, and praying to the dark father that whatever causes that unsettling aura to flare up keeps it at the all time low it's at now*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 12:59:36 AM)
::Colin is frowning, and he eyes between the two of them:: I'm nae aware o' yer relationship wit the wee one, but... iffin' ye soil her honor, I will string ye both up and play your entrails like a guitar. Am I clear, lads?

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:00:19 AM)
She's like a mum ta me ...so rest assured I've no intention of ruining anything Sir. *he goes back to eating*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 1:01:28 AM)
Her honor is of the utmost importance to me sir. *and it was one of those really respectful sirs.* She... She's a Goddess that walks this earth, and I know I have set my sights high, hoping to woo her, but it's worth noting, if she rejects me, I will accept her answer.

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:02:29 AM)
*He simply smirks going about eating and shifting a little in his seat chuckling*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:04:35 AM)
::Colin's eyebrows lifted and he paused a moment, before he blinked and then laughed:: Ach, she has seriously gotten in yer head, lad. Ye got it bad. ::shaking his head:: Tha wee one? She be a wee pixie with mischieviousness in her verra blood... ye dinnae knae what ye be courtin'... ::said with a chuckle::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:05:13 AM)
*He snickers and looks around the bar slowly*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 1:06:17 AM)
In my head to say the least. *he takes another pint, downign it as he polishes off his stew, moving on to the beef* A pixie, huh? what kind of mischieviousness did she get up to?

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:06:36 AM)
*Quietly to Colin* Are there any women here I should avoid ?

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 1:07:07 AM)
*quietly to Dempsy* All of them. We are supposed to be on our best behavior!

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:07:21 AM)
*He waves off Alex* Wasn't talkin to you...

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:10:19 AM)
There was the time she went missing, run off from her Nan... got caught in a foxhole... little banshee was wailing fer help... ::he chuckles:: Were the time she was switching herbs in medicines... little minx. T'weren't serious... but, sure didna help with Finn's itch. ::he chuckles a bit more, and shakes his head:: There were the time she let out all tha sheep from their pen... from all tha neighbors' pens as well. Little pixie games.. ::Colin looked to Demps and grinned, before nodding towards two ladies in the corner, sipping drinks looking similar to Ais' drink.:: Those be the only unattached ladies in here... ::they appear to be the -only- ladies in here. ::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:12:15 AM)
*He smiles a mischevious smile and slinks over to the ladies and smiles to them kindly* Mind if I join you two...give the two gents their room to talk about Aislinn...

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:13:03 AM)
::both ladies look up, and look him over, before nodding him to pull up a chair, both giving easy, casual smiles as they eat up the American man and accent::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 1:13:04 AM)
*Alex chuckles* She does have a bit of a mischievious streak, doesn't she. *his grin has returned fulll force and the embarasment has subsided as he finishes off his second pint8 I have to say, this is ... very... stout. I like it. What's it called? *HAving finished his meal, he takes the fresh bread to mop up the juices, forgoing the use of the butter as tasty as it looks. He still has to watch his diet, after all.*

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:14:06 AM)
*He starts talking to the ladies being completely genial and kind asking names about the place their in how long they've lived here where they work what they do for fun and all that*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:15:52 AM)
Oh, 'tis a local brew, I'm glad ye like it. ::he grins and nods to him:: Ach, yes. She be a little hellion some times... she was mostly good.. but there were some days. ::he shakes his head:: Her nana was a good woman, raised her well. She's a good lass. ::said fondly as he looks in her general direction:: But she's too thin.. ::frowing:: Ye be feedin' her, aye?

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:18:21 AM)
::as for Alex, the beer keeps on flowing, and Ais makes her appearance a bit later, sitting down to eat mostly-cool soup as she nibbles on it. She smiled to both men:: Sally looks very well... ::downing her drink a bit, as she leans back in her chair::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 1:19:25 AM)
As much as she will let me. I know she's looking a little thin, but I promise, I'm keeping an eye on her. I'm a personal trainer back in the states, helping people keep fit and eat right. *Ands ass the beer keeps flowing he keeps drinking, probably downing there before he starts to feel the effects, and by then, it's too late. He's flushed, his eyes aer dilated a bit and when Aislinn returns, he can't really stop himself from slipping an arm around her shoulder*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:24:43 AM)
::she glanced to Demps in the corner and she grinned softly, then looked to Alex, nibbling on her dinner, but mostly pushing it around. Colin notes it and eyes her, but he doesn't say anything. She eventually finishes and settles down on the bench, resting against Alex, a grin up to Alex:: A bit more than you're used to, aye? ::Colin gets up and makes the rounds a bit later, clearing the table::

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:25:56 AM)
*He definately seems to be enjoying himself listening to their stories and sharing his own the consumate traveler.*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 1:26:31 AM)
Ohh... just a bit. I didn't realize it when I started drinking. I never thought three beers would get me drunk. *he looks over to AIslinn* have a good visit? *Alex is drunk, and looking at her very much letting the love shine through his eyes*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:29:09 AM)
::she grins:: That's Finn's brew.... it's liable to get anyone drunk. ::she nods:: Sally's eldest was having some health problems last year, they seem to have cleared up. Nana's poultice did the trick, though it was touch-and-go for a while. ::she eyes him, and grins:: You... are so gone. ::looking amused, as she picks up her shandy::

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 1:30:41 AM)
It's -very- tasty. I may have to bring some home with us. *he listens to her stories about the people here* I am glad he got better. *with a sloppy grin he looks a bit confused* I'm not gone. I'm right here... with you. *he leans his head in towards her, kissing her softly on the cheek*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:32:14 AM)
I'm sure Colin can be tempted to bottle some and send some over. ::she laughs, leaning in to kiss the corner of his lips softly, relaxing back against him a bit:: Mmm, yes you are... did you want dessert?

Dempsy Winson (Mar 21, 2011 1:33:30 AM)
*He'd leave with the ladies to walk them home like a proper gent chuckling and still talking to them*

Alex Steele (Mar 21, 2011 1:34:09 AM)
What did you have in mind for desert, m'love? *he grins lopsidedly, and then he kinda sits up a bit* Oh... Yeah... yeah, I think I could definatly go for some desert. *he reaches out to stroke her lovely red hair, running it through his fingers gently*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 21, 2011 1:40:25 AM)
::she smiles:: Sally makes a good toffee pudding... ::grinning a little, not entirely sure that that was the dessert he was thinking of, and she leaned her head back, lying it on his shoulder::
