Caritas, Wednesday Evening [OPEN]

The zombies were playing love songs, and Jarod had turned the lights down low, lighting small white candles on the bar and larger ones on the lounge tables. His theory was that people would either be in love and want romance, or alone and want to drink without giving themselves a headache. The mood lighting served a dual purpose.

In case Jaye showed up, Jarod had set his gift for her--a bouquet of paper drink umbrellas and pixy sticks, plus a larger umbrella out of the way, and way from the flames. It wasn't overly sentimental, he didn't think. Unique, like her.

It was possible he was a little nervous.

Got a schmoopy love song? Or a hostile anti-love song?

Jarod until 11, Tino all night.

It's a fine line between romance and a fire hazard.

I didn't forget the OCD threads. Honest.

Jaye ~~finally~~ shows up, holding a little bag full of stuff. "Hey," she greets him.

"Hey," he smiled, then leaned over the bar to kiss her hello. "Happy Naked Cherub Day."

She grins and says, "I think that's the first time I've heard it called that. I like your phrasing better."

"I still don't understand why they carry weaponry," he admitted, then got Jaye's gifts and gave them to her. One bouquet of pixy sticks, with paper umbrellas stuck into them acting as blooms, plus the larger paper parasol.

"You do good at Naked Cherub Day," Jaye decides when she sees the stuff, grinning. And she stars toying with a Pixie Stick like she's tempted but doesn't want to ruin the bouquet. "Thank you."

She puts the bag on the bartop, careful of any spills, and pushes it towards him.

"I didn't want you to not get something pretty, but you're not a conventional kind of person," Jarod told her, "but you should have seen the looks I got from the girls at the Sin. And the suggestions for things to do with the sticks and the ribbon."

He peeked in the bag, grinning as he saw the candy and the cat harness and the cologne, spraying a little bit into the air. "These are great, Jaye. Thank you so much."

"I'm a horrible shopper," she nods. "Also, I fear what the girls at the Sin said. Like, a lot."

"You're a great shopper," he corrected, "and the girls have many, many creative uses for ribbon, and flavored sugar, and then we got into knot tying, and it was a long night."

"I'm kind of sorry I missed it," she says. "But only kind of, because at some point I would have had to hide under a table."

"Why?"

"Knot tying?" she repeats with an eyebrow raise. "Unless you were really talking about like, sailing or something, in which case I'm going to hide under my chair now."

He laughed. "No, at the Sin there are occasionally sailor suits and pirate costumes and knots, but very seldom are there sailboats."

"I'm going to not make the usual dinghy joke and be a good girl," she nods emphatically. "It makes itself, really."

"Most good dinghy jokes do," he chuckled.

"I kind of didn't realize there was more than one," she says. "I'm so behind."

"Work at the Sin for a night," he offered, "it's all about the dinghy."

She pauses, and asks, "Would I get paid?"

He blinked. "I, er, think it depends on what you'd be doing."

"Not like that!" she says quickly. "Like, the desk, or maybe hazmat suiting. Not that I'm offering, I'm just playing the idea in my brain."

"Oh!" He relaxed, "Then I'm sure you'd get paid. Plus, the girls wouldn't shoot you or knife you for stealing their clients."

"And I really really don't want that," Jaye says. "Though wow could that mess with the parents."
