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]

"No," Logan agrees. "Last I checked, I was still among the living. Is that in doubt? Or are you pondering going wolfy and ripping my throat out?"

Logan sobers. "No, it wasn't. Sorry."

Pause.

"But why the comment about the dead thing? You're...not...are you?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"No. I was glad you didn't die of shock."

He still, in some vague way, attempting to be light-hearted about it.

[obligatoryass]

Bravado? Check. Fake light-heartedness? Logan's specialty!

He claps a hand to his heart dramatically. "It all seems to be in working order," he muses. "Of course, if I'm haunting Neptune, I'm totally blaming you."

He still doesn't entirely raise his eyes, but looks less uncomfortable.

Shrugging slightly, "I'll keep it in mind."

[obligatoryass]

"I wonder if you get to pick who you haunt," Logan says. "I'd want to haunt you, if it's your fault. Or maybe my dad. Or my sister. Or Veronica."

Pause. Thoughts of haunting Veronica in the shower are too powerful to dismiss immediately.

"Yeah, definitely Veronica."

Beat. He finally looks up again.

Dryly, "You put a lot of thought into this."

[obligatoryass]

"I have high standards," Logan says loftily. "Besides, she's totally hot, even if she is a raging bitch half the time."

The rest of the time, she's an amazing kisser.

"Yeah. I've met her." Sometimes while not drunk.

"But unless that was a really short heart attack, I think you're still alive."

[obligatoryass]

"Right, right," Logan says, waving his hand. "But no one will know for certain until I've gone and returned, right? I'll keep you posted, though."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Just... make sure you go back where you meant to."

Really good advice in retrospect.

[obligatoryass]

"And I won't close the door until I know where I am," he says, raising one hand in an oath.

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"It's probably a good idea," he says in seriously. "Going into random worlds isn't a lot of fun."

[obligatoryass]

"I wouldn't think so," Logan says wryly. "I'll skip it, if I can."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Well, I won't be... trying to leave again for a while..."

[obligatoryass]

"Can't blame you there," Logan says quietly. "I wouldn't."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"... and I don't think people will believe the 'got yellow eyes by being around wolves' thing, so... I'll have to come up with an excuse for that first..."

He'll be taking his time on that.
