Sat on the seated area of his usual café, Samuel was for once, at his leisure during daylight hours. Usually, work was so hectic that he barely stopped for a moment during his working day - the only relief came when he returned home in the evening - but today was different. Today Samuel had one of those very rare things in his line of work, a day off, and he was choosing to use this day off wisely by doing very little until his Gwen returned home from work herself.
Dressed astoundingly casual compared to his usual formal attire, Samuel lounged outside with a cup of coffee within reach, his iPhone in one hand, and lit cigarette in the other. He was so engrossed in the live Wimbledon match he was watching via his phone, pausing only occasionally to take a drag from the cigarette in his hand, that he had no idea he had company until someone spoke up.
((ooc: Assume this is a muggle cafe round the corner from Diagon Alley, hehe, and please anyone is welcome to bother Samuel!))

Cliona had had a long hard night and it showed in the bags under her eyes and the less than tidy nature of her clothes. She pushed her hand through her hair to try disentangle it and make it look somewhat presentable as she waited on her order being ready.
Finally receiving her coffee and muffin, Clee thanked the waitress with a small noise before looking around the busy cafe and frowning as the only free seat was next to a blonde man engrossed in some strange looking muggle device. "D'ye mind if I sit here?" she asked in a small croak, giving a weary sigh as she waited on him answering.
Putting her muffin and coffee down, she screeched the chair out to draw his attention before speaking slightly louder and more irritated, "Im sittin' here, if ye mind ye can speak up now an' if ye dont mind can ye spare me a ciggy?" she gave a loud huff afterwards, her dark eyes giving the man a bored look.
(ooc. I hope this is ok? I thought it'd be a good chance for them to meet? I dont kow if thats ok with you?!)

Looking up suddenly, Samuel's expression much resembling a deer caught in the headlights, he was met with the sight of a somewhat irritated-looking brunette (and quite knackered-looking if he was honest) expressing a desire to sit down. A quick glance round the cafe confirmed that the only free space was indeed next to him, and he was about to start apologising to her in his bumbling, tripping-over-his-words-way, for not hearing her first time, but then she spoke once more and instead a small smile twitched at his mouth.
Wordlessly, Samuel put his iPhone down for a minute, reaching into his jacket hanging over the back of his chair and extracting a packet of cigarettes and his lighter, handing it to the girl with an amused smile. "Please do join me in smoking yourself to an early death," he replied jokingly, "Ah sweet nicotine," he commented, taking a long drag on the cigarette and exhaling the smoke slowly to the side.
((ooc: Clee's fab! And yep, tis a great chance for them to meet, he hasn't quite broken up with Gwen yet so, you know, no awkward flirting on his part haha but it's nice to set them up when sober and what not haha. Also, sorry he's a bit blah, he's not working with me today.))

Taking the cigarettes from the man, Clee nodded her head once before extracting a cigarette and lighting it, taking a long drag of it and blowing the smoke out to the side as the man did before she spoke once more.
"Thanks, I only ever do this when Im really hungover. Im really hungover, can ye tell?" she asked him with a motion to her face hoping that she didnt look too bad as she had to meet her father later on for a long overdue visit.
"Whats that thing ye were lookin' at? Muggle Im guessin' it is?" she nodded at the phone thing that he'd been studying before she'd so rudely interrupted him. "Busy in here today" she stated, tapping the cigarette to discard of the ash as she waited on the man explaining what the thing was.
(ooc, he was fine! Clee's a bit blah but I blame excessive heat and lack of sleep!)

Smiling politely at her as she lit a cigarette too, he tapped the excess ash off his in the ash tray in the center of the table and then took another drag of it. "No problem," he said as she thanked him and then hesitated on answering her question, instead asking, "Would you like the nice answer or the honest answer?" with a small smile over at her which pretty much confirmed that yes, you could tell she was knackered-looking and very possibly hungover.
Taking another drag on his cigarette his brow furrowed slightly in confusion as she nudged her head in thne direction of his iPhone. "Hmm?" he said in confusion; with years of living with a muggle he just assumed that everyone knew what things such as iPhones were and it naturally often got him into many confusing conversations at work in the Ministry if his phone ever rang while he was in someone else's presence. The Minister especially enjoyed quizzing him on the wonder that was the iPhone though, mostly, he just liked messing about with the many pointless apps. "It's an iPhone. Basically a mobile phone but it has extra things you can add to it, games, calculators... that sort of thing. And I was specifically looking at a Wimbledon match, which is-" he faltered momentarily, sparing a glance at the device only to thankfully catch the winning match point. Grinning in delight at this he looked back up at the girl, "Yeah," he agreed to the cafe being busy before smiling awkwardly, sensing small talk was now the fall back for both of them.
Pausing only to exhale some more of the cigarette smoke he looked politely curious, "So... you're not versed in Muggle technology?" he asked, "Halfblood... no, wait, pureblood?" he guessed lightly.
((ooc: Aww thank you, and Clee isn't either, heh, she's lovely!))
