A familiar figure slips in through the
front door, bawdy laughter and raucous merriment trailing in with him. He turns and watches the red-head melt back into the revelry of the smoky tavern. He doesn't blame her
for anythingfor not wanting to come back yet. But he had to.
The door sweeps shut, cutting off the sounds with a soft click.
Indy looks around quietly from the threshold, not expectant or hopeful, just checking. For a face. To those that know where he's been,

[Summary: Indy is consoled in part by a host of rallying friends, in the form of Mike, Tere, Meg, Tim from the cells, and Mel. Mike plans a tuna casserole for comfort food, while Mel and Indy muse about their partners' best aspects before some much needed levity/insanity.]
