I'm Always on the Job (Nikolaj)

[Deleted]

Logan was in Hogsmeade on business. Well, it was supposed to be business. He wasn't sure when the person was going to meet him here, because they never actually agreed on a time, but that was fine. He walked into the Hog's Head, looking around himself. The place had a few people in it, but he wouldn't label it as busy. No one looked at him as he entered, which meant Logan's contact wasn't here yet. So he walked over to the bar. He wasn't really thirsty, but he wanted to see if Nik was here. Having someone to talk to would alleviate at least some of the boredom he experienced in waiting. "Hey Nik," he called, wondering where the man could be. Probably somewhere nearby. Logan leaned against the counter, glancing around the room once more as he waited for something to happen.

"Hey Nik," nik would have been more than annoyed at the sound of his name if had come from someone else. logan hartridge was one person he could stand to be around for more than a few minutes without getting bored by them. there were a few other exceptions, he was currently searching for her now. he stopped what he was doing. trying to find out where sarah and their son was wasn't easy, the woman knew how to keep herself hidden but he wasn't about to give up. he waved his hand over the papers, watching the ink seem to retract back from the parchment and he left the seemingly blank pages on his desk and he walked out of the back office. he walked over to the bar, narrowed his eyes at his bartender who was walking toward them. "clearly he didn't ask for you. go make yourself useful elsewhere." he spoke, a little harsh but he wasn't known for being nice. he turned back to logan and leaned his hands on the bar. "social call? or business call?" he asked, tilting his head slightly as he waited for logan to answer.

Logan held back a smile as Nik told off the bartender that tried to approach Logan. He was glad Nik was here. Without him, Logan was sure to be bored until his contact came. He shrugged as Nik approached him and asked why he was here. "Well, technically it's a business call, but I'm waiting for a contact to come here," he explained. "So until then, I thought we could catch up or something." He scoffed quietly. "I hate waiting for people." At least Nik would probably be able to understand that. Part of being a Purifier was waiting to meet people and not too many of them were patient with it.

Well, technically it's a business call, but I'm waiting for a contact to come here," there in lay the catch of having to meet people. the waiting, apparently it was one of the worst parts of the job. not for nik, he didn't wait. if someone wasn't there when he was supposed to meet them he left. he had much better things to do that go chasing around after people. "So until then, I thought we could catch up or something." he nodded a little and turned to the back of the bar, waving his hand to summon down a bottle of one of his best. hardly anyone that frequented the pub could afford this liquor so nik saved it for himself and certain people, logan was one of those people. "I hate waiting for people." nick smirked as he took two glasses from under the bar and poured out three fingers of the strong liquor. "take some advice from me. don't wait." he said as he slid one of the glasses toward his friend. "to your health." he said as he lifted the glass to his lips and took a long drink of the smooth gold in the glass.

Logan gave a short laugh when Nik told him he should just leave. "I would ... except then I have nothing to do and I would just be bored. I might as well stay here for a bit and talk with you. Then if no one shows up, I'll leave." There, he made his decision of what he was going to do. That made things a bit easier for him. He nodded his thanks when Nik gave him a glass. "And yours," he echoed, taking a drink himself. "How have things been going on around here?" he asked, looking around the place as he asked. "It's been a while since I've seen you."

"I would ... except then I have nothing to do and I would just be bored. I might as well stay here for a bit and talk with you. Then if no one shows up, I'll leave." he smirked and raised a brow slightly as he sipped the drink he'd poured himself out. "strapping bloke like you? i'm sure you could find some sexy little piece of meat to keep you occupied if you were bored." he said with a chuckle. there were a few maids at the hogs head that he wouldn't mind shaking up with, but since he'd found out about sarah and seb he wasn't really seeking it now, for reasons he couldn't understand. "How have things been going on around here? It's been a while since I've seen you." it had been a while. there had been some recent things in his life that he felt he could tell his friend about, he trusted logan. more than he probably trusted most of the people he'd known his whole life. "not much. changed bar tenders, the old one met an unfortunate end. i found out i have a son. we got new beds in some of the rooms .." he said as he downed the last of his drink, throwing in the part about his son almost nonchalant like.

Logan rolled his eyes when he noticed his friend start to smirk. He was about to mess around with Logan, but Logan didn't really mind. He was used to this kind of thing. He lifted an eyebrow and looked around himself. "Oh really? I don't see anyone here that looks particularly interesting," he commented sarcastically, his lips curling up slightly. The pub still wasn't particularly busy, so he didn't mind saying that. Then again, even if it had been busy, Logan wouldn't have been interested in anyone there. Not unless Kat was there with him and he knew she didn't like to come to places like this. Logan listened when Nik started mentioning things that were changing with him lately. A new bar tender, he had a son? Logan perked up at that, curious instantly but deciding to let him finish first. He nodded slowly after his friend finished. "So you have a son ..." he mentioned, as casually as his friend had. "How old is he? And how did you find out?" Logan wasn't really the nosy type, but he and Nik were friends, and having a son wasn't something that just happened.

"So you have a son ... How old is he? And how did you find out?" there was no point in trying to keep his existence secret from anyone that ran in the same circles as he did. elaine already knew about him and had made clear that she would do what she could to harm him if the need ever arose. he was determined not to let anything like that happen. "not yet two. i slept with his mother a few weeks ago and she dropped the bombshell as she was leaving." he said as he leaned his elbow down on the bar, pouring himself out another drink and he downed it. he hadn't ever thought news like that would be dropped on him in that way but it had and now he just needed to do what he could to find them.

Logan waited for a moment as his frowns took his own sweet time answering the questions. In all honesty he wasn't surprised. Around here one always had to be extra careful about what they said because toy never knew when you might be watched, either by Elaine or the other side. Logan war actually quite proud of himself for staying out of everything so far ... At least, to the public eye. His loyalty was to Elaine. He lifted am eyebrow as Nik answered him and then chuckled. "As she was leaving, huh? That must have been quite the revelation." Logan would be shocked if something like that are too every happen to him. In fact, he was careful so it didn't, but all the same he wouldn't know how to react. "What did you do? You let her leave?"

"What did you do? You let her leave?" he rolled his eyes above the rim of his glass and he set a look on logan. of course he hadn't just let her leave. he didn't have a choice in the matter. she'd literally been mid spin when she'd told him about it and it wasn't like he'd been able to grab onto her to follow her. it still annoyed him, angered him slightly that she'd done it that way but for some reason the anger wasn't as important as the need to find his son. "well i couldn't exactly reach out for her while she was turning into a cloud of smoke." he said as he topped up their glasses. "now it's just a matter of trying to find him."
