"Hello there young man." Mr Valentine said a smile spreading across his face as he held his hand out for me to shake, I dismissed it,

"Formality's Mr Valentine are not necessary, neither are introductions." Every eye of every person sat nearby was glaring at me, how rude they must have thought of me.

"Oh really and why is that?"

"Because I know who you are and clearly you know me also." I raised my eyebrow, smirking as I said this the sip of whisky I took making me look even more smug.

"Patrick." Finn whispered through his clenched teeth, nudging me in the arm, even he thought of me as rude.

"Well my boy, aren't you the clever one." Mr Valentine laughed shaking his hands to the people around us, "Mr Boursier, I assume"

I paused tapping my index finger against the fine glass that held the last of my whisky, "Its less of an assumption and more a use of knowledge, isn't it Mr Valentine." I began to get up as I said this, leaning on the back of my chair, I finished my whisky off in one last swig and banging my glass rather loudly on the table as I put it down. With this I began to walk away, Finn quickly throwing his half full glass to the side and running after me.

"I hope to see you soon Mr Boursier."

"So do I." I shouted back, allowing him to only see my back as a view, "More than you could imagine." I muttered to myself, throwing the pub doors open so me and Finn could leave.

"You always were a drama queen Patrick, but this...this is new heights even for you!" Finn outburst once we got outside,

"Do you suffer from acrophobia?" I turned to question him,

"No."

"Then what's your problem."

"Could we of not just had a nice, quiet drink?" Finn moaned, throwing his hands in the air in exasperation.

"I bought you a drink didn't I Finnigan?"

"Yes....but I hate."

"Did it make any noise?" I interrupted, the more I spoke the more patronising my voice sounded.

"Of course it didn't!"

"Then 2 out 3 isn't bad, is it!"
