[GP/EP] Check-in Day

[st_igmatized]

It was a musical day at the Madonna Inn, both inside and out. Curnen had taken her usual place up on the roof and was singing charms to the sky to keep any wanderers from getting lost (though that part of it was not immediately obvious). Unrelated to that, Sunny was on the dance floor in the bar, summoning songs of her own with her knife to keep her moving before she went to do her shift at the library later. It was one of those days where if she thought about it too hard she’d start thinking about that empty bed in her shitty room and the person she most wanted to be there.

This of course eventually seeped into her magic. She knew better. Maybe she’d even wanted that to happen.

Because just once, between different pop hits and dance beats came a rather unexpected French love song. She sighed and rolled her eyes, but the exasperation didn’t last. Before the lyrics started up she was waltzing. By herself and not caring how it might have looked. And for those three and a half minutes, she dared let herself hope for the slimmest chance that Orlu might come through that door.

She didn’t let herself hope too hard, though. There was admitting to feeling things and there was setting yourself up for certain disappointment. She’d lived too long with disappointment to do that to herself.

"Then you'd better sit on my face," Jackson concluded for her. That would keep him quiet.

Corbie snickered. "Fair enough. But," she pulled back from him so she could look him in the eye. "We ain't making a regular thing out of this, and if I think it's going south, I get to stop it."

She smirked. "And if you're good, find me after your shift's done and I'll reciprocate."

"If I'm good," Jackson pointed out with raised eyebrows, playing up being offended as he got to his feet and held his hand out to her. "Darlin', it's like you don't know me at all."

"I know you very well," Corbie teased back, taking the offered hand and getting to her feet. "A girl can still hope. however in vain that is. She can also offer blow jobs for getting what she wants."

"Well, everything is better with blow jobs," Jackson agreed, looping an arm over her shoulders to pull her out of the café, and back towards the clinic.

He would go back out for food afterwards.
