Somehow, Auden managed to get Cillian into the only place she knew would be open to serving food this late at night. It was hole in the wall diner that served the most delicious, fluffy pancakes and she could not wait to take a bite of one. It was an odd restaurant to have in the middle of Dublin. It was certainly more American than Irish, but Auden often gravitated towards its nostalgia. The diner reminded her of home - of late night bites during graduate school after studying for four hours, of her and her fathers breakfast dates, of her ex-boyfriend's love for over easy eggs.
Auden pushed the last thought out of her mind. She didn't need to think about him in this moment, tainting the memory she will certainly have of helping a drunk Cillian Murphy.
Auden was able to get Cillian settled into a vinyl lined booth. He grunted as he slid into the seat and rested he head against the table. Auden let out a giggle before sliding into the seat across from him. Thankfully, the diner was pretty empty.
A waiter came by, recognizing Auden immediately, "My favorite American girl, back here again aye?" The waiter, Joe, was a portly man with a bald head and a long, bright red beard. He was wearing his typical outfit of a white grease stained shirt and green apron. Joe certainly reminded Auden of a leprechaun, but just a tad bit taller. Auden had grown fond of Joe during her time in Dublin. His personality matched her fathers, which only added to Auden's desire to frequent the diner and bask in the memories it stirred.
"I couldn't stay away from you too much longer," She gave Joe a bright smile.
He let out a big belly laugh, "I know it's not me you're looking for. You make love to the pancakes every time you're here."
Cillian's head shot up, "Who's making love?" His voice came out deep and slurred.
Joe raised a red eyebrow at Cillian but didn't say a word. Instead, he turned his attention to Auden. "Make sure he doesn't puke all over my table."
Auden fought back another giggle. Cillian's eyes slowly dropped and his head fell slightly forward. She kicked him slightly under the table, "You have to stay awake if you want to eat."
