Caritas [Tuesday]

Robin was bored enough tonight that she was betting with Tino. The bet was contingent on whether she could hit him in the face with tiny balled-up straw wrappers -- if she got ten, she won.

So far, she was at seven. Tino was less than pleased.
solo_sword: (well then)

Unsurprisingly, Jaina was having one of those nights when she just didn't want to be alone with her thoughts, which meant hitting up the only place that was guaranteed to have at least one person there. And upon walking in, she saw the bartender and realized, "I haven't been here on Tuesday yet."

"It was so much better when that name never got brought up," she sighed, taking a seat. "Yeah, I'm Jaina. It's been a while, so you're the Robin who's not green and felt?"
solo_sword: (focus)

Jaina did not smirk at all at that little bit of revenge for the Brooke reference. "Just an iced tea," she said. "What's with the papers?"
solo_sword: (hmmm)

"I'm kind of sorry I didn't think of it first," Jaina admitted, frowning.
solo_sword: (interested)

"What do you win?" she asked.
solo_sword: (crossed arms)

"Well, that was his fault for making it completely worse for himself," she reasoned.
solo_sword: (talking)

"I don't want to interrupt your ten," Jaina told her. "And yeah, I've still got Saturdays. Apparently as long as I'm in Fandom, I get to work here."
solo_sword: (conversating)

"Twenty-seven," she said. "I do not look like I need to get more sleep." They had techniques for that.
solo_sword: (you know...)

"Saw John, too, huh?" she guessed. Unless someone else had come back older and she'd missed it.

"Jaina," Aly said, giving her a smile. "I heard you were teaching now, but I was starting to think it was a myth."
solo_sword: (hanging out)

Re: The Bar

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-09-29 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, that was someone she hadn't expected to see again. "No, not a myth. Though I am questioning that due to sudden flashbacks of being sixteen," she grinned. "Hi, how are you doing?"

She chuckled. "It's kind of nice making someone feel younger for once. Usually I get the other way." She shook her head. "I've been well. I think it's been longer for you than me since you were in my class, hm?"
solo_sword: (thinky)

Re: The Bar

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-09-29 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Five years plus the... however long it was since I left your class. I can't tell time like that anymore," she explained.

"Congratulations," she said. Meaning for staying alive mostly. "Teaching just for a break from real life or is it a career change?"
solo_sword: (right)

Re: The Bar

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-09-29 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"A break from real life would be the best way to put it," she said slowly. "What about you? I didn't expect you to be back here."

"You and me both," she admitted. "I missed my students a little bit apparently."
solo_sword: (i look 12)

"It's not a bad reason to come back," Jaina said with a little smile. "Just for the semester, or is it a more permanent thing?"

Re: The Bar

[identity profile] tricksy-spy.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
"We'll see about that when the semester ends," Aly said. She rolled her eyes teasingly. "No reason to decide these things too early or anything."
solo_sword: (over the shoulder)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-09-29 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Good call," Jaina said. "That's what I've been saying, only it's more like 'I don't know.'"

Re: The Bar

[identity profile] tricksy-spy.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Nah, you have to spin it better," she said, obviously amused. "Like making it into a positive thing that you haven't decided yet. Get people to try to convince you."
solo_sword: (oh?)

Re: The Bar

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-09-29 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Jaina raised her eyebrows, looking likewise amused. "Do I want to be convinced?"

Re: The Bar

"I don't know, but it's always fun when they try," Aly replied.
solo_sword: (interested)

Re: The Bar

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-09-29 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I might have to try it your way," Jaina decided, more interested in the results than anything. She didn't think anyone would try to convince her. "We'll see how that goes."

"People usually find that works best," she said with a mischievous grin.

Aly hadn't been back in Caritas since the semester had started, but when she walked in, she couldn't help smiling at how much hadn't changed. Same zombies, same Tino, even same bartender - with some new jewelry.

"I've heard congratulations are in order," she said, giving Robin a smile as she nodded towards the ring.

"Don't worry. You were in no danger of fawning," she chuckled. "I've been sadly hermit-like since I got back. Time to fix that, i think."

"My cheekbones aren't strong enough to carry off a beard," Aly decided. "It's a bad look for me."

"I've done a mustache," she said thoughtfully. "Want you to bring me one next week? Handlebar or the twirly kind?"

Re: The Bar

[identity profile] tricksy-spy.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Disguises have always been my thing," Aly laughed. "The twirly ones are way more fun, it's totally true."

"You'll have to work on your laugh," she pointed out.
