At the Slaughtered Lamb
"In ancient times when werewolves roamed the land
There was an old pub called The Slaughtered Lamb"

Sammy arrived by taxi just after 7pm. She admitted to herself she was a little nervous. Nervous was not a normal feeling for her. The first time he'd caught her by surprised and got a cranky mood in return. His file was committed to memory, but there was a gaping hole in the information. Nowhere in it did she find anything brother-like and that was who she was meeting tonight. Now she wished she'd thought to ask someone to come with her.

The Slaughtered Lamb pub was a recommendation sometime back from Misha. His love of bad horror flicks dredged up 'An American Werewolf in London', and the two main characters encounter with the locals in the Slaughter Lamb. Sammy had never had a reason to come here before. It seemed like good neutral territory.

She stepped inside the pub and was immediately enveloped in the smells of food and people, the clacking of pool balls from the billiards room, and the murmur of voice and laughter. People were having a good time.

	"Friend of mine recommended it. He likes horror flicks." She looked around for a table. "Are we waiting to be seated?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not that I'm aware of. Sit where you want," he said and then sipped his beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy selected a table toward the back and chose the seat that would put her back to the wall. She slide in and put her bag under her chair. "I was surprised to hear from you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He slid into a chair across from her. "It shouldn't be. I told you that I would call the next time I was in the city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I see that now." She put on a small smile. "What were you up to? Anything you can talk about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Getting into trouble as always." He gave her a small smile. "Apparently not quite as interesting as what you have been doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Of course, the gossip rag. Pink bloomed on her cheeks, barely noticeable in the dim lighting. "Don't believe everything you read. It wasn't as interesting as they made it out to be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh come on. It had to be. There was a picture of you kissing a girl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was the local custom? We were letting loose a little." He didn't have to look so amused! The waitress came back and Sammy asked for a soda. Her meager alcohol consumption had taken another nosedive after that trip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mikel chuckled. "I bet the old man had a nutter about it. I would have paid to see his face when he saw that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now that would probably give him a heart attack," Mikel joked. "You looked like you survived your days of partying relatively okay though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I can't let you be the only one to give him gray hair, now can I?" A more genuine smile crossed her lips. "I'm not much of a drinker and I had a few too many." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We all need to cut loose once and awhile," he said. The old man especially, but Mikel knew it would never happen. "So how are things? Plans for the summer?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-10 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm taking the summer off. I haven't had a break since I graduated high school. Dad wants me to move home until I start school again in the fall." Her soda arrived and she thanked the waitress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I take it you don't want to move back home?" Not that he blamed her. "Are you living on your own somewhere?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I've been out since I was eighteen." Not that Dad hasn't made noises about it in the past, but she suspected that now it was because Mikel showed up. "I'm settled where I am for now. It's not like their place isn't close enough to visit every week."

But Mikel knew Dad, and Dad wouldn't let her live just anywhere. "I share a house with some kids whose parents are good friends with Mom and Dad." The Avengers mansion qualified, right? It was practically Animal House sometimes, and that was just the senior team.

	"That's good," he said and sipped his beer. "It can be good to be out from under direct parental supervision." Though he knew the old man had her watched twenty four hours a day. She was the golden child after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-10 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"So where's home for you? Did you get married and not tell Mom and Dad?" Her reading didn't give her this information, only a censored version of what happened to cause the rift between Dad and Mikel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-06-10 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Home is all around. I don't sit still much." He laughed. "Not married. Not the type." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Before Mikel could answer a waitress came over to take their orders. Mikel ordered a steak with a side of potatoes. No vegetables or greens. He ordered another glass of beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-10 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy wasn't quite so anti-green. She asked for the grilled shell steak, rare, with fries and a side salad. Fatigue from power usage was managed better with a more balanced diet than her preferred meat and potatoes. The waitress walked away and Sammy turned a waiting expression on Mikel.

	"Something like that. Or maybe I'm just a busy man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-10 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	"So. No permanent address. No wife. Girlfriend and kids?" He was maddeningly not giving her real information. Seems they both shared that trait with Dad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
