Caritas, Friday Evening

[built_fjord_tough]

Tino was... sulking, tonight at Caritas.

"You gonna be okay over there?"

In reply, Tino just looked down at his chest and gave one disconsolate bounce on his toes.

Fjord squinted a little bit at that.

"I've got no idea if that's a no," he admitted, and then he shook his head and went to set up the bar for the night on his own.

"Hey! You're back!" said Amaya, who figured she might as well swing by the bar tonight to check in on Fjord. For keeping track of the days and all.

"Er, well, not that you went anywhere," she amended, "just your whole..."

A hand waved vaguely in the air, in his general direction and, if you looked close, previous shape.

"So what was that?" She counted off on her fingers. "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Five days. So that'll put me at...Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Back on Sunday. Hopefully. Assuming my theory's correct."

"Hey, I'm back," Fjord agreed, and there was a tusky grin of relief there to go with that. "Have to say, it's a relief to be back in the skin I'm used to. And the trip starts on Sunday, does it? Perfect timing, if all things are equal here."

"Unless the island decides to just throw a wrench in just to spite us and make it Monday," Amaya noted with a wry sort of a grin. "But, no matter when it happens, hopefully this means that not only is there an end to it, but it's well in sight.

"Good thing, too," she added. "I missed this face."

And then regretted it, after a moment when her brain was still catching up with her mouth, and she then resolved maybe no more talking until she at least had her mug of ale to stop her mouth next time.

It wasn't like there was even that much of a difference in those faces, either.

But it'd been different enough.

To Fjord's credit, his only real reaction to that was a blink, which he directed toward the ale he was already pouring instead.

"It's the one you're used to," he replied. It was the easiest explanation, after all. "For what it's worth, it'll be nice when yours is back, too."

For, you know, the same reason.

[special_rabbit]

Right. What other reason could there have been?

Amaya blinked a little herself, but that was a completely normal thing that people did on occasion. Blinking.

"'Cause it's the one you're used to," she ascertained, stoutly, with a confirming nod, and then moved right on along. "So it's probably pretty fair to say the day's been treating you well, Fjord, all things considered?"

"No complaints so far," Fjord agreed. "Got my body back, I fit in my own damn clothes again," he was, in fact, back in the t-shirt and jeans combo again today, now paired with a brown leather motorcycle jacket, "and picked up some leather treatment shit from the mainland over the week. If there was any cause for concern about my gear, hopefully that'll take care of it."

[special_rabbit]

"Hopefully," Amaya agreed with a nod. "Sounds like things are looking pretty good, then. I'll admit, I'm pretty interested to see how everything goes with that leather."

"After Fenris, you'll probably be the first to know," Fjord replied, smiling crookedly. "At least it'll likely be a quiet week. Plenty of time to make sure it takes."

"You got any particularly good ideas on just how to test it out?" asked Amaya, with a quirk of her eyebrows that were way too excited for these possibilities.

Her eyebrows might also be enjoying not being hidden by a fringe of bangs right now. Her forehead was like a whole open stage with this hair!

[built_fjord_tough]

"Could probably come up with a few," Fjord mused, smirking a little. "Even odds I'll get a dummy to wear it or I'll put it on myself for the occasion. You got anything new and exciting in stock that you've been dyin' to test out?"
