Pick Your Poison, Tuesday

Given the completely lukewarm reaction she'd gotten from Zack over text, Iris had taken the hint and not even bothered to go, well, it wasn't home, but to the apartment over the Boards. She hadn't really slept either, having headed over to her (her?) shop to inspect what was going on there.

The reality of it was a far cry from her memories, which confused her until she realized that, having been gone so long… well, it was really amazing there was anything to sell in the shop at all.

Maybe she'd give her minion a raise?

It was something to mull over in the wee hours of the night as she rolled up her sleeves and fell to weeding and inspecting all of her plants in what was, really, quite an impressive greenhouse for them. By the time dawn hit, she'd flipped the sign to open, shoved everything that wasn't her stuff down near the corner of shame (she appreciated the work that had gone into it, but really, she was going to have to teach her minion better) and was at work creating everything she'd need to do a full re-stock.

She'd have to talk to Zack at some point, and soon, but for the moment Iris was fine giving him his space.

Pick Your Poison is Open!

//Knock knock?//

Jono was at home, yes, just hanging out on his crappy IKEA sofa (someday Hannibal would manage to get rid of it, but he'd have to get Jonothon's ass out of it first) but figured now was as good a time as any to acknowledge the... familiar? ... mind that he'd noticed hanging around the island since yesterday.

//None other,// Jono confirmed, leaning back in his seat, picking up Joni and holding her over his face. Because that's just what you did with kittens, okay? //Noticed you were back, thought I'd drip a line to see how things were going.//

Translation: You seemed off somehow and I was concerned.

//I had an inkling to that effect, yes,// Jono agreed. //And so here I am, fussing. I don't have nearly enough people to fuss about, these days, you know.//

Quiet. The island was bloody quiet. He'd been starting to get that itching feeling that he'd be doing more good elsewhere, and was steadfastly reminding himself that going home always, always ended horribly for him.

//I can be there with hot chocolate and-or a kitten in twenty minutes,// Jono offered. //Take your pick.//

//Hot chocolate it is, then. Still a fan of more whip than actual drink?//

Had to check.

Wasn't completely certain who he was talking to, after all. And that was a dance he'd danced before himself. More than once.

It was, in fact, fifteen minutes before Jono strolled into the shop, one hot chocolate from the Perk in hand. Well. One cup of whipped cream that had been kissed by chocolate, anyway. Not that he was so sure she'd drink much of it, but sometimes gestures mattered more than the actual drink.

//Rescue,// he announced, reaching to set the cup down on the counter, //has arrived.//

In the form of hot chocolate. Fear him.
