Oh, Logan

[obligatoryass]

He's in the bar, looking far too pleased with himself. He ought to be wearing a button reading: "I'm a genius! Ask me how!" but alas, he is not.

One reason is the upcoming date with Hannah. A masterstroke of manipulation, dating the daughter of the fake witness against him. Plus, she is supercute.

The other? Logan has a hip flask. Full of whiskey. And he shares. Usually.

Comments

[obligatoryass]

Because he was so eager to talk about them to start with!

"Did anything like, happen there?"

Logan's pretty sure it did, but not so sure Behrooz will tell him.

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

Behrooz takes a minute to consider the question. Which means he's trying to come up with a vague yet truthful way to explain it.

"I don't... it's kind of hard to explain..."

The lame explanation hangs in the air for a minute. So instead, "Yeah, I guess something did."

[obligatoryass]

"No worries," Logan says. "I mean, it had to be totally bizarre all around. Is this some sort of curse or evil doing? We can leave it at that, if you want."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"... I don't think so. I wasn't around anyone... human for a long time."

[obligatoryass]

"I guess that's good," Logan says. "Have you been home yet?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"... I haven't tried to leave again yet."

[obligatoryass]

"Can't blame you," he says, looking down. "It's an adjustment, I guess."

Plus, who knows where leaving will take him.

"I'll have to come up with some excuse... for the eyes..." he adds.

Because 'the magical bar took me to the magical forest with magical talking wolves' doesn't sound sane?

[obligatoryass]

"Contacts could work, most of the time. Unless you share your room. That could be a problem."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"So... people will just think I... make really weird choices about eye color."

Eh.

[obligatoryass]

"Well, yeah," Logan says. "Or you could get contacts colored your normal eye color. Whatever it was."

Logan would never admit that he'd noticed another dude's eyes. Even though he thinks Behrooz's were brown.

[kayip.livejournal.com]

When they're golden and unhuman looking, they suddenly become much more noticeable.

"Yeah, I guess so."

Pause.

Randomish segue time.

"You said once... there was a shark in the lake?"

[obligatoryass]

Logan frowns, a little freaked out by the intensity of color. "I saw one, once. Doesn't mean it's still there."

Logan never talked to Ed, though, and he's okay with not knowing the details of the shark's powers. "Any reason you want to know?

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Well, Behrooz's mun can always sidestep it if it'd freak him out too much.

He does say, "A girl I talked to yesterday mentioned him."

[obligatoryass]

Logan nods. "Yeah? In reference to what? Dinner?"

Naw, Logan's fun when he's freaked out. And it'll wipe that smirk off his face.

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"... she said it talked to her."

Whee.

[obligatoryass]

Yeah, that smirk is gone now. "Oh."

Beat.

"What did it say?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Um.

"She said it talked about... blood..."

Pause. "I didn't see him."

[obligatoryass]

"Yeah," Logan says, trying to lighten the atmosphere a little. "That might be on par with the creepy door thing you got."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Carefully, "So he didn't... talk to you?"

[obligatoryass]

Logan shakes his head. "No, I was out on a boat one day and saw the fins. Girl I was with said he wasn't dangerous, so I didn't freak out or anything, but I didn't stop to chat, either."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

He nods faintly.

"Just... wondering..."

Uh-huh.

[obligatoryass]

Logan nods. "Kay. I'll let you know if I do have a conversation, then. Anything I should ask specifically?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Pause.

"No. It's not that important."

[obligatoryass]

Logan nods. "OK."
