Jason is in the Bar. He couldn't sleep again, and with a soft apology to Nathaniel he went down to the Bar, promising that he'd be up right after getting something to eat. He'd have to remember to bring the leopard a milk.

Sunrise is going to come early.

He sighs and sips a warm milk with amaretto, trying to feel tired.

Thing about the tarot cards is that sleep? Not really their thing. Oh, they could do it, and he liked it, but it wasn't necessary.

Which is why Jason soon finds he has company at his table.

Ruin flags down a waitrat and orders a glass of sweet iced tea, and then turns his gaze to Jason.

"Long time no see, Jason," he says, relaxing back into his seat. "I thought it was time you and I had a talk."

Jason's eyes close to try to block out the irritating sight. He presses one hand to his eyes as the other cradles his milk.

"Haven't you done enough? I made my fucking choice, ok?"

[ruinous_fortune]

"I know you made your choice. Moon and Tower were there when you did it."

Ruin watches Jason.

"And I have done everything I was supposed to do. Moon made her choice, and you made yours. My part in the whole mess is done. I'm here... as a friend."

He smiles a bit wryly at the last bit.

Jason peers angrily out from behind his hand.

"No, Moon left." Because he told her to leave....

"I'm not really looking for your friendship, you asshole. You want friendship, go talk to Liz; she seems hot enough for you."

Charlie is not far from him, just watching who comes and goes, making sure no one hassles Jason.

He won't talk yet, unless he's spoken to. It's easier that way.

Jason notices him and gives him a nod.

"You can come over if you want, Charlie."

He looks up over his drink tube and asks, "Do you want me over there?"

Jason closes his eyes and waves him over, giving his attention back to his milk.
