{Skye}

"Glenmorangie. And the gin fizz for Mrs. Peacock. It will tickle her nose." She gives Henri a little shoulder hug, "Keep hoping, hon." Skye then grins a little wickedly. "I kinda liked that cutie Amanda...and Paul would be an interesting addition." Suddenly she is quite aware of Levon's presence, making her flush with a little odd feeling. "But the night _is_ young."

"Oh, Levon. Let it go." She lightly pushes his shoulder. "No roadtrip misadventures this time."

The barman nods with a smile and starts to prep drinks.

Emma

Emma pauses, thinking. "I will have the Gin Fizz with lemon and prosecco. It sounds refreshing, thanks."

Henri

He is slightly surprised with Skye's shoulder hug. Henri considers Skye as one of his best friends, but it catches him off guard because he also finds Skye as being a tough no-nonsense type of woman too. Nevertheless, he gives her a smile for her confidence boost to him.

Henri shifts his attention to Levon after Skye's comment to him, and Henri then follows Levon's gaze as well to see if the two doctors are around. With not spotting the two doctors himself, Henri adds, "Levon, mon ami. Let's drink, enjoy the night with the girls."

Ian gets himself a pint of Newcatle Brown.

"Yeah, nice to be able to relax. So what are we doing tomorrow? Anyone fancy a swim? Or are you serious competitors intending to practice?"

Levon
"Yeah," he responded, his gaze not shifting off the member of the doctor team. "I could use a pint."

Clearly that earlier interaction was still on his mind. It was more than curiosity. The way that he had to grow up made him a bit skittish. Even the meekest person in the hood walked down the street always aware of their surroundings, with their head on a swivel and a makeshift weapon in a clenched fist in their pocket. That was an instinct he had a lot of trouble turning off. Until he knew exactly what was going on with that team, he would be on alert.

Ian signals the barman for another Newkie Brown.

"Pint coming up Levon. See if you like it."

Levon

When the drink comes, he takes a sip and says to Ian, "Well, it ain't Colt-45! That's probably a good thing."

Ian laughs.

"That's a proper pint mate!"

He turns around, difficult in the crowded space at the bar.

"Let's go find a table."

He gently pushes his way through those thronging around the bar, drink carried carefully and high. Everyone has been served and Miranda is waiting on the edge of the crowd.

As Ian scan the room and spots a table, they get a wave from Mr Harding, who again has an arm around Miss Beech. Ben, Tina, Ross and his girlfriend are also crowded around their table. They are obviously celebrating.

"Over there!" Ian leads the way, leaving the others to acknowledge My Harding.

<nudge>

Levon

He joined Ian at the table.

"Looks like someone thinks they won something important," he said. "Harding seems to be having a good time."

Emma

Emma got her drink and joined them at the table, looking around. "So what next? More exploring of the town tomorrow or a bit of swimming?" Shopping was always fun, and as she was not competing, getting out and about would be interesting. Though fun in the pool could be fun as well. She looked at Miranda and Henri. Maybe some suits would stay on... maybe they would accidentally fall off... who could tell?

Ian

"Exploring sounds like fun.. maybe after a lie in in the morning?"

He grins.

Miranda

"What do you fancy doing Henri?"

The question is an innocent one though maybe not in Emma's head..

Henri

He follows along, grabbing a chair beside Miranda as he slides a cold lemonade towards her. Taking a sip of his beer as he considers his answer, he finally says, "Swimming sounds like fun." It is one sport that he is half-way decent at. "Walking around would be fun too, but not keen on clothes shopping", he gives a mocking look to the women, "if that is what you really mean when you say 'exploring'".

Levon
"I ain't going shopping. It's a workout and then the pool for me."

Miranda

"Well we don't have to stick together.. though a workout then the pool sounds like a good plan. I know you can easily beat me Levon but I would welcome a practice with you.. and some tips."

She smiles at him and then turns to Henri.

"That is if you don't mind watching?"

Ian

"Well I would be happy to escort the ladies on their explorations. I can be relied on to tell you when an outfit makes you look fat."

He chuckles.

Henri

That sounds fine to him, so he replies to Miranda, "Sure. That be interesting to watch you practice a bit and then go swimming."

{Skye}

After the indulgences so far, and her hope for more tonight, Skye knew she needed to workout and train to get back on track - besides she was a terrible sports swimmer. And she really wanted to shop more. She had gotten quiet trying to figure out how to do it all.

"Emma - if you can wait long enough for me to workout or swim...I'm all in on shopping!" She then had a fun idea. "Or, we get new suits for a swim...what are they called here? Cozzies???"

Ian

"Oh the modelling is sounding more fun by the minute."

Levon

"Cool. We spar. We swim. We shop. Perfect!"

Emma

"I am fine either way. Shopping first or later. I'm flexible."

{Skye}

"Perfect! It's decided someone will get me another whisky and we'll burn it off like the athletes we are in the morning -- unless some of us do tonight." Skye couldn't help but tease over to Henri and Miranda. Though she wouldn't maybe say no herself....

"I have a suit..I mean cozzie that can kinda work." She leaned over to Mina. "So then later we focus on even more _fashionable_ looks, darlinggg!" Skye drew out the last words dramatically.

Henri

Being one of the non-athletes here, he immediately gets Skye's tease and gives a side-ways look towards Miranda to check out her reaction. Henri is still a bit unsure with the logistics if he can find a way to burn off calories with Miranda later tonight.
