The Estate, Sidra, Glacia, Tuesday Night Fandom Time

[furnaceface]

Even in Glacia, it was starting to get on into the autumn. Jono stood in the window for a while, watching as the lights in Sidra were lit, though the streets grew more desolate as darkness fell through the city. It had become his evening routine while he was in Kaeleer, at least on those nights when he was planning on going out with Morton. The

"Kiss kiss," Karla said, coming up behind Jono and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Plans for the evening again? My, aren't you and Morton getting chummy. Aren't you worried Julian's going to get jealous?"

Jono gave Karla a sidelong glance as her hand grabbed his shoulder. He was on high alert tonight, so he'd sensed her coming before she was even in the room.

She sighed, giving his shoulder an affectionate squeeze before she dropped her hand to her side.

"If the two of you are going out, Julian'll be sticking by close to me, like a burr on my ass. So I think you'll have to forgo the pleasure of his company. While you two do whatever...what do you two get up to out there?"

//Card games,// Jono said easily, raising his eyebrows and looking all-innocence in her direction. //Late night drinking. Making terrible life choices involving all of the single ladies in Sidra...//

None of these were true things. His light delivery probably made that painfully clear.

//Or one another...//
