Text Cut: Sachin and The Doctor Quote:

Casting off illusions, revealing truth, that is what keeps me going through the years."
Once Conley returned, those old blue eyes looked at the cocktail. "Last time I was here, they did not allow us to have alcohol at ministry functions." Nero gently took the cocktail glass in one gloved hand with a wry smile. "That never stopped us though. I had bottles of wine hidden all over the ministry. Perhaps I can dig one up for the lovely couple." The doctor beamed, raising his glass, while also trying to avoid any questions about what he was trying to do with the corpse flower. Quote:

“Thanks, Con,’’ Sachin said, happily accepting the ginger ale from Conley. A cookie too. How nice. But wait… did the Doctor just say ‘last time’? The Ambassador eyed Conley with a hint of curiosity. “How long ago was that, if you don’t mind me asking.” He dug into his drink by taking a short drink. “Um, I must decline. I’m not a alcoholic drinker.’’ The offer had been a nice one though. Conley was only a little disappointed that the doctor had taken the cocktail. While Conley enjoyed the occasional drink, he didn’t imbibe as much as he had before he began dating Sachin. Still hidden bottles of wine around the ministry sounded intriguing. ”Oh, don’t let Monsuier Roux hear that,” he chuckled. ”Our dear French Diplomat is quite the sommelier and Enigmatologist . He might take it as a challenge to find them all.” Still, the idea of popping open a bottle of wine with the good doctor seemed intriguing. ”You’re always welcome to pop into my office for lunch. Sachin usually packs me too much food.” aka, he’d likely have food to share.
The nerves from being in a greenhouse were still bothering Conley and the smell from the flower was not helping. Conley was now grateful for the ginger ale, because his stomach was starting to bother him. ”Sachin,” he said softly, turning just a bit from the Doctor. ”I think we should go soon.”
