Jaina's room at the Arms- Saturday early evening

Dec 03, 2011 15:52

Between the messages she'd gotten and what she'd seen on the board, Jaina would call herself anything but happy, but she didn't feel as if her brain was just stopped today. With yesterday's Portalocity email, she had to refocus, and there were some things she needed to do ( Read more... )

Eric had gotten his very first rotten phone call and it was hitting him harder than he was expecting.

He'd given up emotional attachments like love long ago, or so he'd told himself, and yet there he was, knocking on Jaina's door and hoping for...something.

He'd call it distraction. Other people might use "comfort."

Jaina didn't exactly get a lot of visitors here, so she was a little surprised. Right until she opened the door. "Hi," she said carefully, immediately opening the door to let him in.

"Hi," Eric said, stepping inside. "Was today any better?"

Perhaps the whole issue had been solved while he'd been sleeping!

"I've gone over twenty-four hours without any phone calls. I haven't looked at the board, so... if I repress hard enough, sure," she said, closing the door behind him. She'd be a little surprised if he was coming just to check on her, so she asked, "You?"

"I woke up to a message from Sookie," he said softly. "She's gone."

And he wasn't nearly as okay with that as he was pretending.

She didn't say anything, but wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

"She was a very useful telepath," Eric said, resting his chin on the top of Jaina's head.

Yeah, that wasn't why he missed her.

If it was anyone but Eric, she might have questioned that that was what he'd gone with. "And a friend," she supplied.

"And a friend," Eric admitted very reluctantly.

"It's Fandom," she told him quietly. "There's nothing saying we won't get them back."

She was realistic about the situation. But part of the realism was that if there was ever something that could get people back from not existing, it was this freaky little town.

"There's nothing saying we will, either," Eric replied. "I'm used to being the last one standing. This will just take me a moment to...digest."

solo_sword December 4 2011, 18:48:57 UTC

"What do you need?" she asked him.

texted3times December 4 2011, 19:14:24 UTC

"A distraction," he said. "I don't like being in my own head right now."

solo_sword December 4 2011, 19:26:25 UTC

"I know what that's like," Jaina admitted. No, really? You don't say. "Lucky for you I'm good at distractions."

"I didn't remember an ice pack," Eric replied.

solo_sword December 4 2011, 21:33:33 UTC

"Were you not planning on me needing one?" she asked with a little smile.
