"We could say we are travelling to see your family up further north, but we are resting as we both are weary from the trip. We could be brother and sister... or husband and wife." He shrugged at the idea and lifted a brow at her questioningly. He wondered for a moment what it might be to actually be married and immediately hated the idea. He wasn't the marrying type. His nose wrinkled a little and he looked down at his food and took another fork full.
When he was finally finished his plate he took up his glass and chugged down the rest of the amber liquid. He let out a loud expulsion of air and grinned happily. The waiter came by to take plates and dishes and suggested that they pay up at the bar. Theo nodded his acknowledgement and when Addie was finished as well they stood up and moved over to the bar.
They were greeted by and elderly man who gave them a kind smile. "Hope the meals were to yer liking. He said as he moved them over to an ancient register. Theo half wanted to climb over the bar and examine it and learn how it worked but he contained himself and tried his best to act like it was nothing to him. The man rang up their meals and drinks and asked for 50 cents. Theo half wished he could make a joke about the cheapness of the meal but he knew it would only ring true with Addie. So he pulled out the small sack of coins and bills and dug out the silver needed.
When he paid the man Theo also asked "Do you have a room available for a few nights?" The kindly gentleman nodded and offered them a room on the second floor.
"Its got a a tub and everything, but it'll cost extra for us to bring up the water. The man said proudly and Theo grinned at him.
"We'll take it!" He said happily and he dug out the money required for three nights stay. The man said it would be no problem if they wanted to stay longer as he had no reservations for the room at the moment. Theo thanked him and he took the old copper key and turned to Addie. He placed the key in her hand and said "Shall we inspect our accommodations?"
