All Alone - Foreman's Homeverse, a Bar

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

Foreman sighed as he looked around, unable to believe he'd actually drug himself down here for a drink alone. How sad was that? And unusual, too, but with House and Chase gone it didn't seem like he'd be back seriously working much either. He wasn't House, he couldn't take care of the department and be the genius House, however mentally unstable, undoubtedly was.

He sighed and ordered another beer, his doctor's coat slung across the back of his bar chair as the music banged at his migraine and the lights played with his buzzed mind.

But at least he was a little loosened up, and still stable, more or less. He could get away with driving, at the least.

He looked over his shoulder, then sighed and grabbed it, tossing it up on the counter and shaking his head.

"Sorry. I'm not exactly on top at the moment, you know?" he said, shrugging.

"Somethin' on your mind?" She turned and reached under the bar, coming up with a bowel of lime-covered peanuts, which she set between them. Then she stuck her tongue out at the 'tender as he turned and told her, 'hey!'

"Oh, nothing much, just an AWOL boss and serious lack of commited co-workers have shut down my department, and I'm stuck in the maternity ward until further notice," he shrugged, then chuckled. "You sure you should be doing stuff like that?"

She shrugged and smirked, then lifted that brow again. "AWOL boss?"

"Yeah. He met some woman and ran off someplace so abstract nobody can find them," he rolled his eyes.

"Didn't that get him fired?" She shoved the nuts toward him hospitably, chewing on one thoughtfully himself.

"Normally it would, but my boss was never one to follow the rules, and he's a genius, so he gets away with a lot of stuff like that," Foreman sighed.

Letitia shook her head and tipped up her beer, then flicked a peanut at him. "Enough to make someone go nuts."
