The Arms Hotel Lobby, Friday

Mary was still feeling pretty awful about how she'd behaved last weekend, which is why she skipped over the rest of her lunch to get straight to dessert.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!
Today's Special
Chocolate Amaretti Cake

Gunther will serve you. Gunther regrets nothing from the weekend.

When she's not stuffing her face with chocolate cake.

The keeper's hut was still not quite habitable yet, and Tully just didn't feel like camping again. It was getting cold at night. Escpecially for someone who'd spent that last few years in the tropics.

So he thought he'd take a room at the Arms for a while.

"Hello?"

Mary stashed the rest of her chocolate cake behind the guest register. "Hello! Welcome to the Arms Hotel! What can I help you with today?"

Well, eccentricities aside, he was liking the locals. "I was hoping to book a room for a week or two."

"I think that could be arranged," said Mary, grabbing the guest register after moving her piece of chocolate cake again. "Did you have any preferences, Mr... What was your name?"

"Mars, Tully Mars. And no, no preferences. Wait, do you have any that look out over the bay?"

"Yes, all the even-numbered rooms look out over Serenity Cove, so you get a really nice view. The ones from the fourth floor up even have balconies," said Mary. "I've got the same view from my own suite, and it is very nice."

"You live here too?" Nice employment benefits.

"Why not? There's no better way to keep an eye of this place. And when my first suite proved to be too small for my needs, I just moved into the next one," said Mary, grinning.

"Do you own the place or something?" Tully guessed.

"I do, actually. Mary Connell. Pleased you to meet you," said Mary, offering her hand.

Tully laughed. "Nice to meet you Mary. Nice place you have here." Tully shook her hand. A woman with a fancy business who didn't seem to be evil? Bonus.

"Thanks," said Mary. "This place has kind of been my lifeline through some tough times."

"I know the feeling." Tully said.

"So, what kind of room would you like? I'm assuming you're going with the view," said Mary. "You pretty much have your choice of a double or a suite."

What the hell. "I'll go with a suite." he decided. "So, what do folks do for fun around here? Aside from confuse the new people?"

"Is the sixth floor okay or would you like a lower floor? And fun... Hmmm, have you checked out Caritas yet? We don't have a lot of night life around here, but there's that, at least," said Mary.

She ignored the part about confusing new people, as she wasn't one to talk after last weekend.

"The sixth floor is fine, thanks. Caritas, is that a bar?"

"Yeah, it's a karaoke bar with a house band that's really, um, different," said Mary. "You should check them out, but I wouldn't sit too close to the stage the first time."

Well that sounded rather cryptic, but that was okay. Tully was used to cryptic. "I think I'll have to do that." he agreed.

"And in the meantime, here's your room key. You'll be in room 616," said Mary.

"Thanks." Tully took the key. "And it was nice meeting you."

"Nice meeting you too. Let me know if you have any other questions," said Mary.

And although she was smiling at Tully, she was fiddling with the ring on her left hand.

The time-sucky part of my day seems to be behind me, so I'm around!
