Barrier Gate Station West Wing Pub, The Lone Drunkard

[Juzt156]

Syd smiled a half smile and quietly said, 'Thanks for not asking.' He indicated that he would like a beer as well. For the moment everyone seemed enthralled with the tin man, seemingly a walking cliche. 'I wonder if he is looking for a heart.' he said barely audibly.

There was not doubt that this situation and Emma were brigning him back to reality at least for a moment. What was going on? His curiosity over riding his good sense. While the tin man was scary that lady in red dress was even more disturbing. It was all so fascinating flashing schematics and banter back an forth. Most of the rest of the bar while still keep a wary eye on the two of them seemed to have resumed there own conversations.

Returning his gaze to Emma he thought 'A Freelancer? She had to be widly travled and knowledgable...Maybe there is a way out of this mess.' He winced as his right arm contiued to ache.....but first a beer.
