Helping where he can
Charlie appeared in the hallway outside Logan's Place and paused to listen to the cheerful conversation and clinking of dishes that came from inside. His mouth quirked in a slight grin as someone laughed.
Then he walked through the open door, ducking his head automatically even though there was no need here.
"Hey, boyscout!" Logan gave him a grin from where she was polishing the bar, Jabez a comfortable little lump in the carrier on her back. "'Sup?"
She was sounding more like Jubal every day.
He shook his head with a chuckle. "I'm here on business. Do you have a room free?"
"What kinda room?" She cocked her head and paused to take a swig of notbeer, dark eyes intent on him as she drank.
"A quiet one with somewhere to lay down."
"How long ya need it fer?" She set the mug down and started polishing again, going to get a bottle of Canadian as a young fisherman came over and leaned on the bar.
"All night, maybe." Charlie shrugged.
"Alright." She gave the fisher the beer, then headed for her office for a moment and returned with a key card. "Number six. They ain't that big."
"We'll manage." He grinned and teleported up to the narrow hallway outside the rental rooms. -Alright, Grandma.-
He reached out with his mind and brought Jubilee to stand next to him.
