Devil's Nest, Monday, March 16

[bitten_notshy]

Jack was mostly healed when he made it to work today -- and, even better, Emma had gotten fussed about him fighting with a supervillain (silly girl) and had portalled into town for some weekend TLC. It was only reluctantly that he left her back at his house to get to work, and he definitely wouldn't be lingering to closing time.

There was already a sign in the club window: HALF-PRICE GUINNESS, $3 GREEN COCKTALS. Jack looked at it warily before proceeding inside.

The DJ and Tiny were both dressed all in green, and the DJ had decided to add a mix of Irish folk songs to the mix. Turned out that for one small island, the Irish had produced quite a number of songs about the English stealing their land, sheep and/or women.

Some time after Jack opened the bar, Emma came waltzing in like she owned the place, giving Tiny a grin which caused him to make a sign against evil at her arrival. Which, to be fair, he often did anyway.

"Miss me, darling?" she asked, leaning in for a kiss. "Your brain sounded bored."

[bitten_notshy]

Jack kissed back, lingering over it before he answered. "Terribly bored," he drawled. "They're playing Irish folk music. I never heard so many songs about sheep in my life."

[icecoldfrost]

Mmmm kisses. Emma was all too happy to let lips linger and get reacquainted. It had been hours.

"Well, given the corruption of the landlord system put in place by the English invaders, the Irish didn't own anything besides sheep," she said, giving it Serious Thought. "I suppose that would make them important enough to sing about."

[bitten_notshy]

"I guess so," Jack said. "Oh, landlords are another popular topic. I swear the last song was called 'Sod off Limey Bastard.'"

"No one said they were creative, darling, just bitter," Emma laughed, giving him a grin. "Now, how long are you here, and how do you feel about breaking the rules just a teensy bit and giving me one of those fancy sodas?"

[bitten_notshy]

"I'm here another four hours or so, and I love breaking rules," Jack said. "Which kind of soda did you want? And what have you been up to today, anyhow?"

[icecoldfrost]

"Ginger Pomegranate, if you have it. Otherwise surprise me," she said. "--tasty surprise, not 'let Tiny make something up' surprise."

"And I had a bit of a lay-in, went for a run, wandered town, did some window-shopping, and did the steps for my cardio for today," Emma continued with a shrug. "Went back to your place for a bath, debated waiting in your bed naked for you to come back, and decided that would take too long."

WAY TO DISTRACT, EMMA.
