LAU, YOU CAN BE GUEST OF HONOUR

[reanimated]

Days one through four without boss: Aces, the pub is mine for the night, free shots for everyone, etc. etc.

Day five without boss: Considering the possibility that he might be dead? Aces, the pub is mine for the night, free shots for everyone, etc. etc.

Day six without boss: Turns out he was released, the pub is mine FOREVER, free shots for ME, etc. etc.

Anyway so he's gone and seeing as he left no last will and testament (cos what would it say anyway? "I leave all my shite poetry about blood to my girlfriend, ohhhhhhhhh wait") I'm going to go ahead and say the Phony is now under my ownership from here until the end of time!

"But Nathan, you don't know how to run a business" — WHO GIVES A SHIT? Open bar at the Phony tonight in loving memory of our dearly departed friend Connor or Constatine or whatever the fuck!

I come with an extensive background of putting up with condescension, too, so I think I should be just fine.

[highlyinformed]

And your ability with advanced maths is connected to this background?

[highlyinformed]

What's your interest in the bar? It doesn't seem in line with your current business endeavors.

[alwaysimpure]

Given that it coincides with being heir to the richest family in Britain and studying Arithmancy at school, yes, I'd say so.

Mostly my interest in it is that I don't like you, but I like whiskey.

[highlyinformed]

You did your family's finances? England has changed so much.

There's a bar in the hotel.

I'm sorry we don't get along, I'm sure it's just been a terrible misunderstanding, given you were interested in becoming a customer of mine.

[alwaysimpure]

I didn't, but I had to learn enough to understand them.

I'm aware.

Yeah, I wonder what turned me off.

[highlyinformed]

I really can't say, I'd never presume to understand a man's feelings. I just hate discussing sensitive business in a public forum. I'm sorry if that is something you're more free about, I can be terribly old fashioned sometimes, given the unfairness of law enforcement on the island at times.

[alwaysimpure]

Then I suppose we should meet.

[highlyinformed]

My door is always open.
