i, indeed am a fun drunk (Largo)

This bar was part of the mall but separate enough to allow a relaxed atmosphere from the frenzied shopping. You could also see the relaxing coast and waves from its position and it did do alcohol and bar food.

The work of a professor never seemed to be done even between terms but he did clock of early today to enjoy what was left of the afternoon. His daughter was soon going to be here and his ex. Well that could also happen knowing Louisa.

He had gone tieless today and removed his light suit jacket and fedora once he entered the bar. Heading to the bar proper he ordered a whiskey over ice. The guy next to him looked like he really needed his drink so sitting on the bar stool beside him suggested "a burden shared is a lighter one to bear" in a quiet voice. He knew that look that was on Brett's face.

Largo knew what women trouble and a long day were both like. The long days were a major contribution to his failed marriage in fact but he still cared for Louisa. "Hello Brett, I'm Largo. There were guys back in days of the Roman empire who could tell the same story and have the same complaints" he replied in an understanding way. "Then they'd be doing just like we are now" he added before sipping his drink.

Some people seemed to be approachable straightaway. Brett seemed to be one of them and also easy to get on with.

Largo knew he did an unusual job but you did need educators. “I’m the professor for ancient cultures and history. I also run the archeology department and teach practical archeology in the university” he replied. Then sipped a little more of the whiskey that burned on the way down. “So what keeps you busy on this island? he posed curiously. Everybody did something here on this island so he figured Brett wouldn’t be any different.

“You see Brett? Very little changes with humanity. We both have ancient professions and both are needed” he chuckled back. “You are an employer too. Archeology does prove quite useful. The Ashford PD needs us when they find buried bodies and you’ll never know what you’ll find as the new city expands and the old gets cleared away to make room for it”.

He knew he’d reach the end of his drink too quickly so ordered a matching one before it ran out. “Have you had a chance to go to the Cove of Wonders yet? The university runs that and it concerns the pirates who once made this island home” he added cheerfully.

Buried bodies always popped up everywhere. By the time Largo and team seen them they were old and skeletons but you sometimes did find exceptions to that rule.

"I've been there. In fact I helped set it up and was one of the first divers down there. It's a diving tour but don't worry if you can't swim. Just keep hold of the guides rope and you'll be fine. I don't blame you either so why not go on your own?" he replied with a smile. Teachers and brothel owners were part of the distant past and still would be part of the far future.

"In fact there are still descendants of those pirates living here today. They also mixed with the natives to create the first melting pot on the island and the pot has kept on bubbling" he added. He knew until then it had just been the Spanish and natives but add in other europeans and you got that mix.

Largo's matching drink had arrived and he could see that Brett had some real interest in this idea. "Why not book the tour with them? You'll all get to see a genuine sunken sailing ship and things like cannons still on it.

Some of its items are also in the museum and others are being conserved but there's still plenty to see. We're not quite sure what sunk it but those researches continue". He then drank more whiskey clearly enjoying how this afternoon was working out. He had good company and he could relax for a while.

Largo chuckled and replied “so what you are saying is you don’t want to be fish food? I’m divorced myself with a teenage daughter. I do stay on good terms with her mother so that’s good”.

Then he added “Estella stays with me and is very into fashion. I hear her working on a sewing machine all the time and she’s got good ideas. That is probably what she will end up doing later on. Perhaps even here when it comes to her college course”.
