[GP] Check-in Day: Lurking Out of Habit
The first of the month arrived and Kash took up his usual station at the edge of the Cafe with his eyes on the door. It had been his habit since he first arrived and learned that arrivals had a pattern, and he had kept to it when he realized that a lot of people showed up injured. It had nothing to do with expecting Zahra to come for him any day now. Nothing to do with wanting to be right here should she arrive. He was just doing his work as a healer.
From the new library, he had acquired a text on modern medicine. It sat in front of him, a cup of coffee by his hand that Kitty kept full of fresh, steaming brew, and a plate of chocolate chip cookies by his other hand. He wore the symbol that he refused to consider holy, his dark spear rested against the thigh closer to the wall, and he had prepared all of his healing spells, and a few damage and area of effect spells in case anything came through that posed a threat.
Kitty was on-shift, which used to mean covering the bar, the cafe, and the pool bar. Out of habit, she still watched all of them, but these days, she had plenty of help. Ignis or Emma were almost always in the kitchen and someone usually tended the bakery counter.
In short, there was absolutely nothing unusual about the day, Kitty or Kash. It was exactly like every other arrival day. The only exception, if it was one, was that Kash was almost as interested in his book as Kitty was her research.

"Where I come from, they just don't like having to teach girls. So there's a school, but it ain't very good. They're hoping we'll just give up and go home or something."

"Should I leave my sword in this room?" he asked after a moment, a bit distantly. He didn't like the idea, but it would be best to know. Putting himself in a position to get into an argument about it wouldn't be the best idea, at least not until he knew more about what was going on. "It's magic. Probably shouldn't be touched by anyone else."

"Here," she said, in front of a door reading 'Oriental Fantasy.' "So here's where that card the innkeeper gave you comes in. You slide it in here." She pointed to the lock.

"Need anything else?" Corbie didn't mind keeping him company, however innocently or not, if he wanted it.
