I13DT - The Bull & Willow

by **Allison Rogers** » Fri May 23, 2014 1:31 pm

Allison pulled the university car in a lot near the Bull & Willow. "So after a little research, we can either eat in the Bull, which is an upscale pub, or we can eat in the Willow, which is more restaurant. Having looked at both, I'm good with either," she said. She was dressed 'smart casual', nice enough to look good, but not formal.

"Which is to say if I choose the pub, it won't be... your usual crowd," Dee smirks faintly.

She herself is wearing slacks and a black turtleneck. To be fair, it's nicer than she usually dresses.

"Yes, no overt bikers in the pub. But like I said, I'm good with either. It's the company I'm here for mostly."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 12:52 pm

"...well then, there's certainly that."

"Let's go with the restaurant, eh?"

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 1:00 pm

"The restaurant it is," she said. Once in the restaurant, it was a nice place without being a stuffy high-end place. The two of them were seated after a short wait and brought the evening's menus. "One of the reasons I picked this place," she said, looking around, "No kids after 7:00."

"Not your forte, eh?"

"I deal with them at the school. Doesn't mean I want to deal with them while I'm having dinner out. And don't get me started on the interesting thoughts on cafeteria etiquette that I received from that detention I oversaw."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 1:41 pm

"Given how the cafeteria often looks, I'm not surprised."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 1:44 pm

"Well, this detention included the four that got into that altercation in the cafeteria," she said with a slight chuckle, "so they were already on the wrong foot." She looked over the menu, "Trying to decide if it's a steak night or not."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 1:56 pm

"Is it ever not steak night with you?" She smirks faintly.

"Humoring me and getting Chinese aside."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 1:58 pm

"I eat chicken and fish on occasion. I'm not making this any better am I?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 1:59 pm

"If you'd said tofu, then I'd be shocked."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 2:07 pm

"Believe it or not, I have had tofu a couple of times. I can eat it, I'm a big girl, but it's definitely not on my list of must-have foods."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 2:32 pm

"Does one have to tie a string to it, to give the appearance of a struggle?" She smirks.

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 2:39 pm

Allison just raised an eyebrow at her before ordering some wine and a starter. "You must also think I catch my chicken on the wing."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 2:45 pm

"Merely thought something that wasn't meat required some extra convincing," she says before giving her own order to the waitress.

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 2:48 pm

"I would stick my tongue out at you, but I wouldn't want to be kicked out for poor manners," she retorted.

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 2:51 pm

"Of course, you're the very picture of decorum."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 2:54 pm

"Nothing of the sort. I'd just like to actually eat my dinner."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 2:56 pm

"Ah, how silly of me."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 5:09 pm

"Indeed. Very silly. You might need a ministry for me."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 5:15 pm

"Oh, the Yank's watched Monty Python. Stop the presses."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 5:27 pm

"I've watched other British television shows. That just happened to be the one that came to mind. But, by all means, continue to make fun of my nationality."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 5:28 pm

"It's just the one that always gets brought up, eh? As if we spent ourselves in the seventies."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 5:52 pm

"I imagine it does get tiresome. Like being asked what part of London you're from."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:00 pm

"So I suppose in fairness, I should stop thinking you're the Marlboro Ma'am."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:06 pm

"I am where the flavor is, but I don't smoke."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:15 pm

Dee makes a face.

"Does your mum know you talk like that?"

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:21 pm

"I'm fairly certain she did know when she was alive, but I can pull back on my impressive American charm."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:22 pm

"Ah, it seems shoe leather is on the menu after all."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:27 pm

"No worries," Allison said, waving it off. "It's been years. She was a perfect match for my father in just about all respects and he was where I got my love of motorcycles."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:33 pm

"Good woman, then."

by **Allison Rogers** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:43 pm

"One of the best," she said with a nod. The wine arrived and Allison sipped at her glass, "This is pretty good."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed May 28, 2014 12:36 pm

"First try of that vintage?"

by **Allison Rogers** » Wed May 28, 2014 12:46 pm

"I'm working on expanding my alcohol horizons. I'd had some wine, but it was mostly American."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed May 28, 2014 2:48 pm

"No shame in it. Americans more or less saved France's wine industry as it is."

by **Allison Rogers** » Wed May 28, 2014 2:49 pm

"There's a very insensitive joke that could be made there, but I'll..." She coughed, "Excuse me. But I'll leave it alone."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed May 28, 2014 2:52 pm

"Of course, how tactful of you," she smirks.

by **Allison Rogers** » Wed May 28, 2014 2:55 pm

She sipped at the wine again. "Well, I've got to break the stereotype of the boorish American, right?" She coughed again, "This wine must be a little stouter than I first imagined." Some perspiration appeared on her forehead.

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed May 28, 2014 3:01 pm

"Well you don't have to drink it all at one go, eh?"
