When Declan heard someone enter, he hurried to pull his sweater over his head and straighten the ensuing dishevelment of his hair.
As soon as Soren dropped his bag, Declan grappled him into a hug. "Good to see you, Sören. How was your flight? I hope the seat was to your liking for such a last minute purchase."
He pointed out the bar. "Can I get you a drink?"
Declan poured them both a small scotch, on the rocks for himself.
"You are right. About the room. There was little available in terms of a standard hotel. It seems the city is full of middle-class travelers. The choices were two-stars or five,"
his look spoke volumes, "and I'm not that hard-up yet."
Sören was aware of his financial troubles. It was how they really came to work together anyway. The relationship between a museum curator and an antiques dealer was a lucrative one.
He offered Sören the drink, leaving it up to him whether or not he wanted it.
"First thing I did was shower when I arrived. Would you like to do the same? We can talk after. Its difficult to be comfortable covered in airplane grime."
