It was late in the night or very early in the morning, however you put it it was still dark. Brodie sat in a pub, nursing a butterbeer. Though he looked as if he was just someone who had a rough day. He was on a stake out, looking for a wanted wizard who was known to hang around this joint.
Taking another sip he pulled his hat off, letting a mass of black hair fall into his face. Giving out a tired sigh he ran his fingers though his hair, giving it a shake. No one who fit the description here.
((OPEN!))

(Oh, I'm SO in.)
In the wee hours of the day, Sienna wandered into the pub, well out of it. She had spent the entire night convincing a Ministry official to use a grant towards education instead of financing the search of the notorious Deva. She had to pretend to care about the future of children, and it disgusted her to the point that it delivered a bad taste in her mouth. But for the sake of saving a few Deva member's from being caught, she had to just try her best, and lucky her-- she won. She gained another friend and another chump in her list of connections.
Sitting at the bar, Sienna rubbed her temples as she gave a 'come hither' look at the bartender. When he did come, though, she just flatly asked him for some headache reliever and some scotch whiskey, a very odd choice indeed. As he took her order and went off, Sienna scanned the room to find an equally tired man. As far as she was concerned, there was no harm in talking to him, he looked largely harmless. "It's been a long day's night," she said, to get it out of the way.

Brodie looked up, nodding slowly. "You could say that again." He got up from his seat and found one next to the women at the bar. Taking another sip of his drink he set it down, holding out his hand for her to shake.
"Brodie Wickliff, at your service." He said, his thick Irish accent melding with his words. He gave a nod to the bartender to get him another drink, but this time it was water.

"Sienna London, at yours," Sienna said in her mild English accent as she glided her hand into his and looked at him with a look of exhaustion. She spent all of her sweetness on one man, and she just couldn't produce more on another. At that rare moment, she had shed an onion layer.
As the bartender came for the orders, Sienna gulped down the reliever and the alcohol before groaning to let it go down easily. "Why anyone cares to work late is beyond me," she complained, her exhaustion mingling with her speech. Dodging glances from the rim of her glass to Brodie, she gave a little weak smile. "What's your story, mate?"

"I'm sadly still on the job. Got meself some overtime. Well, my job never really ends." He said quietly to the women, stifling a yawn. He took a large sip of the water and set it back down.
"Ministry always likes to keep us youngin's up since they think we're all energy." Brodie said with a smile. "And how about you M'lady? Why are you out so late?"

Suddenly Sienna had all the energy in the world, from the moment he said 'ministry'. Gathering a smile as sweet as honey, she said proudly, "During the day, I'm a private tutor. At night, though, I'm a education activist," Sienna spilled out.
"Actually, I'm always fighting for our children's education, but tonight was one bloody battle. See, this one bloke was ready to drain some funds into some ludicious campaign, but I found him in time and pleaded with him to spend it on more advantageous areas, like education. Hours later, here I am-- walking away with victory."

"Which campaign was he going to spend this money on? I should know, the Ministry does spend it's money quiet...wastefully." Brodie snorted.
"My department needs some more money. Since the fall of You-Know-Who we've gone into useless paperfiling. Not much action." He shrugged. "We don't have enough money to function. We had to let off some workers!"

"Some bollocks about finding some people who committed a crime," Sienna said, gulping down some more whiskey before she began again, "I didn't go into it very much. It's horrible what these people do, but it's even more disgusting to keep from spending such precious galleons on precious children."
Upon hearing the weakness of the the goverment over controlling the Deva and others, she smothered her smile with a frown. "That's quite awful! Perhaps they should expand on another, more promising department and give the work back to those employees. I personally believe we must fight with knowlege and love, not blood."

"Love was lost when the war started. You-Know-Who killed it. We're still trying to regain it whats left of love in this world." He said somberly, looking back to her.
"You-Know-Who has taken alot from me, and many others. Anyone who standed, or stands with him will get what is coming to them. Their ignorance will be their downfall." Brodie nodded.

With his strong statement and proclamation, Sienna was nearly speechless. For once, she had no comeback, only ones that would severely strip her of her lies and show who she really was.
But for once time was on her side, and the bartender came up to them again. "Two whiskies," she said, and he immediately served some up. Pushing the second glass to Brodie, she looked at him. "My treat. Merlin knows you need it," she said it in a helpful tone.

He smiled. "I really shouldn't. I'm still on the clock, but.." He accepted the drink, gulping it down. After a few seconds of grimacing he looked back at her.
"So, tutoring eh? What do you specialize in?" He asked, turning the topic now onto her.

Squeezing her eyes shut as the alcohol went down harshly, she smiled. "I don't specialize in spirits, that's for sure," she joked, as she usually wasn't a drinker. But the meeting with the official was reason enough to start. "But I tutor kids in primary school," she said, being wise on how much to let out.

"Really? I home taught. My mother was a loon about schools. Never thought they were good enough for me." Brodie said, shrugging. He put the shot glass down and picked up the water glass again.

"She was probably right with the decision," Sienna told him, well aware of her own past. She spent the better part of her childhood studying and studying while getting teased for her stuttering and mousiness. "You get to be more focused in your studies."

"My mum was a loon. She never let me outside or anything. I couldn't date, couldn't go to the store, nothing. " He scoffed.
