[GP] Food for the soul

[st_illavirgin]

Carlos hated being back at the hotel. He had begun by trying to access the Nevernever but that had totally failed, then caught up with Buffy to go and visit both London and Edinburgh, for varying reasons, and the rest of the time he had headed to Spain - he may have been well travelled, but rarely got time to be a tourist - but his time relaxing and finding out about Spain had been unceremoniously cut short when he woke up and found himself back at the hotel. For a few moments he lay there, utterly fed up, and just feeling incredibly homesick.

That only lasted a few minutes; after that he was a man on a mission.

He hunted out Caroline, and had a long chat with her. Plans were set. Time to cook up a storm. They'd missed 4th July, this could serve as a belated celebration, as well as a 'things ain't all bad here' event. Posters went up throughout the hotel, giving notice of a cook out. Everyone was encouraged to attend. What could be bad about this?

Grills were set up outside to cook up as much meat as they could hold; non-meat options were there as well for variety; salads prepared... a vast array of food to try and cheer up anyone who needed it. Carlos took his place at the grills, brandishing tools, turning the meat over just at the right point.

All that was needed now was people to attend.

"Oh, so Felix can manipulate minds, too."

Molly understood using it to help others. She knew that Harry still got his britches in a bunch about that, but she honestly didn't see the harm now that she knew what she was doing. If it had helped Corbie get opportunities she wouldn't have, then what's the harm in that?

Yeah, yeah, it's slippery slope where you could get in trouble. Molly got that, but it didn't mean she agreed with it.

"Good for him." A beat, "and you."

Corbie blinked in confusion, then shook her head. "I don't mean literally. He's just..." What was the word she wanted? "Charismatic." She paused. "And sometimes he's kind of a bully, but he's good at either talking people into things or arguing 'em down." She loved the man to death, but she couldn't ignore that he could be a dick.

"OH!" Molly laughed at the misunderstanding, "okay, I get that. That kind of persuasion. I usually let my low cut tops and boobs do the convincing. If that doesn't work, I let Harry do the arguing them down part."

"Yeah, that kind of persuasion ain't ever really worked for me," Corbie laughed. She'd just never had that kind of sex appeal, not with people she wasn't already fucking.

"Sounds like Harry and Felix would either hate each other or get on like a house on fire."

Re: Molly & Corbie

"Yeah, but you can persuade with cute puppy dog eyes and that's just as effective." Molly pointed out with a laugh, "and you're right about Harry and Felix. They sound like they're a lot alike."

Re: Molly & Corbie

Corbie thought about that. She supposed that was true, though. How the hell else had she wrapped Jackson so completely around her little finger? And Mildmay. And Sam. And Regina. And Alec.

... Okay, Molly had a point. "Huh."

Molly laughed at the realization dawning on Corbie. "Don't underestimate the power of cute."
