Caritas; Wednesday [04/16].

[somethingwithturquoise]

So Summer had turned back to herself from being a squirrel that morning, and thankfully, it had very conveniently happened while Stark was off doing radio, which meant that she was spared at least a little bit of awkwardness, of the kind that had nothing to do with the usual things that made this animal transformation bullshit so obnoxious. Honestly, in a way, she was kind of grateful for the timing, even if it had taken its sweet time making it happen the night of, but it gave Summer some time to think about things, actually.

Unfortunately, now that she was human again, she had to actually do something about those thoughts. It was enough to make her want to take a quick jump home and start poking through Rick's stuff to see if he had anything to make being a squirrel a little more perminant, tbh.

Anything to avoid having to confront what she'd been staring down the barrel of before she turned.

(Which was the root of the problem, though, wasn't it, Summer??)

Whatever. She was going to put it off as long as she could, all the same, and Stark doing radio while she change was perfect for that because she could just send him a quick text letting him know she was back, but, hey, it was Wednesday, she really needed to get her jello started! And that meant she could spend the rest of the day groaning and swearing and commisserating and probably drinking, let's be real, without the pressure of keeping anyone else's dumb, stupid feelings in mind.

(She did apologize to Pancakes, though, but also, like, how was Summer supposed to know that she was going to be in the path of whatever she was throwing at the time? Come on.)

Either way, she was herself, venting while making jello had....sort of helped, and she was now sulking behind the bar a little as she got ready for her shift, and trying to figure out just what she was going to do about things now that she no longer had the comfort of just being a squirrel as an excuse.

"It's...worrying," Summer admitted, after a moment to try and find the right word and look at Rey with a curious tilt of her head. "It's got real 'glutton for punishment' vibes."

Rey shrugged. "Sometimes mind tricks happen for moral reasons."

There was a pause.

And then, a smirk.

"Why, Rey," she said, hand on her hips and that grin now bringing her nearly two second from heart eyes at what this seemed to be delightfully implying, "I'm sure you're not suggesting what I think you're suggesting. And since you're definitely not, I'm sure this napkin I'm writing the phone number and office hours on right now will mean absolutely nothing to you once I finish and slide it over to your side of the bar, right?"

Imagine how many people she'd be helping! It was for the greater good.

"Exactly. This is just a napkin," she nodded.

Honestly, that Tina really had it coming, anyway.

"Those jello shots can totally get pretty messy, too," Summer nodded sagely, "if you're not careful."
