He said “I don’t know what you’re living for at all”

Sally had been on the island less than a week and she'd already done something stupid. She'd gotten drunk and kissed someone. Someone who wasn't Larry. Someone she hardly knew ( Read more... )

Rollo was ahead of Ian as they walked into the rec-room, with Ian's hair still damp from a shower, his boots still loosely laced. When he saw Sally, he smiled, even though she looked wrapped up in her own head. It was a look he was getting used to seeing on the face of the girls he thought kindly on.

"Well, hello t'ye, wee lassie," he said, with a smile and a bob of his head, as Rollo circled behind the couch, trotting in a circle around the room.

Sally looked up from her book, actually pleased to see Ian. "Hi, Ian." She set her book on her lap and smiled. "How have you been?"

"Aye, pretty good," said Ian, perching on the arm of the chair opposite her as Rollo loped over to sniff with a huge, flat nose.

"Dinna mind him, lassie. He wilna hurt ye."

Sally smiled and petted the dog. "Oh, no problem. I love dogs. He's a beauty."

As Sally petted the dog, she looked at Ian curiously. "So, did you go to the party last night? Seems like everyone was there."

Jack had rolled out of bed at the crack of...afternoon. Too much to drink and way too much dancing, of every kind, and he was in dire need of a shower, some coffee, and something to wear that didn't smell like the gutters of New Orleans.

All three taken care of, Jack wandered into the rec room, headng for the starwell. Fourth floor...he didn't have any memory gaps. Not from last night, anyway.

Going to find Sally wasn't as hard as that, though, and he walked over to where she sat, took anothher chair, and kicked his bare feet up onto the table.

"Bad hangover?" he asked, smiling affectionately at her.

Sally regretted instantly telling Jack where she was staying. It's not like he couldn't find out, but at least it would have taken him a little while to find her.

She wasn't upset to see him, she just wasn't in the mood yet. She looked up from her book nonchalantly and spoke."It was worse earlier. I think I managed to kill it with caffeine."

She turned a page, keeping her eyes on the words. "What about you? Bad morning?"

captainjack February 6 2008, 19:11:41 UTC

"Slept through the bad morning," he grinned, leaning back and looking at the ceiling. "I was exhausted by the time I went to sleep."

"That's the way to do it." Sally said. She felt her stomach clench in nervousness and she really just wanted to run out of the run somehow. She really didn't want to talk about the night before.

"If you're here to check up on me, I'm quite alright. I'm a big girl, you know." Sally said, a bit too coldly.

Chase had just torn up yet another three sheets of his study before storming into the rec room in a show of...well, he had no idea. He'd just wanted to storm somewhere and this was the closest place. He barely even noticed the girl who looked so worried until he came back to his senses, and by then, he'd been staring too long to just leave. "You okay?" he asked warily.

blinkingsparrow February 6 2008, 20:06:23 UTC

Sally looked up from her book, not at a loss for it since she'd been reading the same sentence for about twenty minutes. She nodded. "Yes. I guess." She laughed. "Thanks for asking."

dr_robchase February 6 2008, 20:08:21 UTC

Chase wandered closer, hands shoved in his pockets casually as he studied her with a dubious look. The 'I guess' part definitely hadn't helped to drive him away. "You wanna talk about it? I've been told I have excellent hearing."

blinkingsparrow February 6 2008, 20:11:30 UTC

Sally had already spoken to more people and told them more than she ever would have in the real world since being here. She was usually a very private person, and apparently that side of her just flew out the window while she was here. She wasn't keen on telling yet another person her business. Especially another cute person.

"Um, I'm okay. It's just, you know." She searched for a general description of how she was feeling. "I'm adjusting." She answered, smiling politely.
