Log;

Clow had been hoping for a while now that Heinkel would either quit or get fired. She was loud, she was rude, and she never stayed after closing to help clean up; she was one of those co-workers that everyone has, the kind that do just the bare minimum of work in order to not get fired. The kind that make even the most cheerful and laid-back person wish that he were a waiter instead of a cook so that he could drive her insane and then replace her. However, Clow really liked cooking (and would probably hate waiting tables), and Heinkel had been working at Seventh Heaven for much longer than he had so he wasn't holding out much hope that she'd be leaving anytime soon.

Briefly, he had toyed with the idea that maybe if he poked at her enough he could get her to have some kind of crisis of faith. Maybe she'd change religions, or maybe by some MIRACLE she'd realize how much of an evil bitch she is and change her ways. After only talking to her about religion maybe once or twice, however, he soon realized that Heinkel's special interpretation of the Bible had absolutely no basis in any kind of logic. It seemed specially formulated to allow her to hate the widest range of people and beings possible, without having to worry about all that "love thy neighbor" nonsense. Understandable, not to mention common, but it meant that Heinkel was pretty much a lost cause as far as being redeemed as a human being.

There was only one solution, then - harass her until something fun happens. Since she had a tendency to bugger off right after her shift, Clow had learned that he had to catch her just before then and offer to buy her beer. It seemed like an equal exchange to him - he got some entertainment and maybe, if he was lucky, a way to keep her after all of the customers had left so that she'd have to help clean up; she got free beer and a reason not to like him. It was perfect.

Checking his pocketwatch and making sure that he was off the clock, Clow hung up his apron before opening the door to the kitchen and peering out. They were technically closed, but there were still quite a few patrons enjoying their last drinks and generally waiting to be kicked out - and also Heinkel sitting at the bar, smoking a cigarette. Quickly and discreetly, he slid over and took a seat next to her before grabbing the bartender's attention and ordering two beers as if he had been sitting there forever. Said bartend knew otherwise, of course, but it would have been cute to be able to surprise Heinkel by just apparently showing up out of thin air.
