Angua came out of the Compound, pulling her hair back into a ponytail. She paused to let her eyes adjust to the sunlight and sat down next to Jess when she realized who it was.

"Hi," she said, still wrestling the mass of hair, and glanced over at what the other girl was holding. "If I didn't know better I'd say you just raided the Unseen Library. Somehow that doesn't look like a maths book."

Jess chuckled softly over the book and no, it was definitely not a math text, though a quick thumbing through had proven that there were a few formulas in it anyway.

"Just some extra-curricular reading," she said. "Something the bookshelf gave me."

"Something that isn't too horrible, I hope?" she prompted, knowing as much as anyone else how the bookshelf could give you things you never really wanted.

"No, not horrible," said Jess. Not horrible in the sense she meant it, anyway. "I might even have been looking for something like it, if not this book exactly. No complaints here. So how've you been?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Nothing out of the ordinary now that everyone is their proper age and dressed as close to normal as they can get," Angua said with a tiny smile. She was relieved, at least, to wear pants again. "Though I have to say, Halloween candy is delicious."

"It is, isn't it?" said Jess, setting the book aside and turning to smile at her. "So is Dean happy to be back to normal again, or sorry he can't run around cute-ing everyone into doing his bidding anymore?"

"I don't think a chocolate as fine as a Hershey Bar exists on the Disc," Angua said, hoping Dean hadn't eaten all of theirs already.

"I'm not sure it makes a difference to him," she added, returning the smile. "As far as I can tell he thinks he's cute enough to get everyone to do his bidding young or old." Not that she didn't agree, gods knew the man had the most charming smile she'd ever seen.

"Yeah, that sounds like Dean, all right," admitted Jess with a laugh. "That was a weird, weird day, but I think I'd be all right if every Halloween was like that."

"Same here," Angua admitted. "Last Halloween..." She shook her head, she had been there for about thirteen days. It hadn't exactly been a warm welcome to the island. "The last Halloween here was horrible. There were monsters and...dead bodies that came out of nowhere. It was horrible."

"Yeah, I heard a little about last Halloween," said Jess. She'd heard enough to know she didn't really need to hear more. "Children and candy will always trump... well, just about anything, actually."

Angua supposed they might. Certainly the Hershey bars.

She leaned forward, bracing her arms on her legs and looked over at Jess. "Do you like children?"

"Most of the time I like children," said Jess. "There are some specific children I could do without, but in general, sure, I like kids."

"And Sam, too?" Angua asked, mostly just wondering if they planned on having any someday.

"Sam, too," said Jess with a little smile. "We've talked about kids a little. You know, for the future, not for right now."

Angua nodded, looking away a moment. She didn't know why she was feeling so damn sentimental lately, but she had a feeling it had had something to do with Sacharissa's recent disappearance. It hit her hard, not only because Sacharissa had been one of the first friends she'd made on the island, but because she saw how it was affecting Maladicta. In that vein, Angua might not have worshiped any specific god, but she did, on occasion, pray. She never talked about it, never told anyone, but what she prayed for here was for Dean and his family to stay on the island. It could take her where it wanted, she would be okay, but this was the only place where Dean and his family were together and safe. And that extended to Jess, she hoped they would have that future ( ... )

"And tall," Jess pointed out with a grin, because she'd actually thought about that. She'd thought about that long before she'd ever come to the island. "Sam would be a great dad. He has doubts sometimes, I think, but I know he'd be great. He'd love his kids so hard and never let them go."
