Who: Geordie Riddell, Buffy Summers, Jilly Coppercorn, and anyone else in House 7 who might want to jump in!
What: New feather arrival.
When: Saturday, Sept 1. Night.
Where: House 7
Summary: Geordie wakes up in not quite the same place he fell asleep.
Rating: PG/PG-13 at most, for mild swearing.


As gigs went, tonight's had seemed especially good. He hadn't planned on playing at the Harp and Roses that night, only to watch Amy play alongside a traveling band. But the music had been too good to resist. And of course, he had his fiddle with him.

Hours and mugs of ale later, it had seemed a good idea to follow Jilly home. The hour was late, he still revved up from the music and she from that crazy dancing she and her friends were so found of. It'd be easy to get lost in the streets of Newford, streets that weren't nearly as safe as Jilly liked to think them to be. It wouldn't be the first time he crashed at her place or her at his. Better to keep an eye on her, however inebriated that eye was, than let her wander the streets late at night alone.

Barely a word is said as they clamber up the stairs to her loft. The hour is late and the tiredness is starting to seep into his bones. Her old, beat couch sounds more and more appealing by the second. Once inside, he drops his fiddle case to the floor and kicks off his boots.

He's out the second his face hits the cushion...




...and still fast asleep when he appears on the couch in House 7 sometime later. He yawns and turns off his back to his side but doesn't open his eyes. Whatever it was poking into his back doesn't seem to be such a bother anymore.

"...The mere fact that you'd even jump to that conclusion when she was so obviously happy to see him. A-and the things you said before that!"

Okay. Maybe she was a little mad.

She sat down on the edge of the bed, taking him with her. The sad and honest truth was that Buffy had been that woman. And she would be again -- soon, even, with Spike's arrival.

But: "This is Jilly, though..."
all7seas: (I don't  think so son)

"Exactly!" There! She'd even admitted it. "And....Jilly's loving. And loving girls.......love. Lovingly."

"You're leaving out the part where she's strong. And confident. And not afraid to speak her mind."
all7seas: (what interest is she to you?)

"I've been around my share of pimps, alright?"

Please don't ask him to explain more about pimps and their brand of mind-control. Please.

This? This was one of those things she didn't need to know about you, Jack. Clearly.

"Whatever. Let's just -- go to bed. Like normal. It's late. Patrol was long and..."

And she'd been patrolling extra hard and for extra hours, ever since that attack. Stretching herself so thin on those nights out.
all7seas: (this is a conundrum)

[personal profile] all7seas 2012-09-08 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Aye. Like normal." Except he was dusty, and wearing jeans. Jack waited for her to crawl into bed first.
herotypical: [ sad ] (✝ i thought that you would be)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-09-08 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
She didn't so much crawl as...flop backwards. And then wriggle exhaustedly as she kicked off her shoes and tried to make it to her side of the bed.

"Things'll sort themselves out in the morning."

Sparrow removed the clothes she'd prompted him into and climbed in beside her.

"Things tend to do that, aye.



I love you, Annie. 'Night."

"Love you too, Jack."

She didn't want to move any more. Buffy? She left her clothing on. She didn't even bother finding her way under the covers.

She did, however, bother with locating his hand with hers and giving it one simple squeeze.
