Rory walks into the bar, looking a little tired but glad.

Classes were back in and they were going decently so far.

Now if there was someone here who would buy her a sorely needed drink.

" Apparently. Though George did start it. Sorta. "

"Hmm, already got them fighting over you?" She points to her and nods. "You're good. You're very good."

" Hyde wasn't so much fighting as being sullen, but that is normal for him, I think. "

She chooses not to comment on the other part of that remark.

She nods. She doesn't really like the idea of Rory and Hyde bonding, but she has to admit she likes him better than Jess. And married Dean.

"He's not such a bad guy," she admits cautiously.

" Mom, " she repeats her litany from her conversation with Indy.
" One, he's thirty years behind me in social behavior. Two, he's only been an ass to me so how would I know. and three, he's just weird. "

She rolls her eyes. "Hon, I'm not telling you to date him. In fact, I'm telling you not to date him. Okay? But the thing I've noticed about Hyde is he's all talk unless you challenge him to get real for a moment, and then he sort of surprises you." She shrugs. "Not your normal type of friend, I know, but I think there's probably a decent guy in there. . .somewhere."

She snorts.

" Underneath all that hair? "

She snickers. "You may have to really look deep inside. . ."

She sips her drink and shrugs, teasing. "I kinda like the hair. And the look. Don'tcha think he's even slightly sexy?"

Ummm, welll maybe...

But can Rory hide that from her mom like she wants to?

Not with the flushing that's happening.

" No..."

Lorelai laughs, picking up on her daughter's discomfort. "It's okay, Rory. That kind of guy is sexy. He knows he's sexy. Which is probably why you shouldn't hang out with him."

And precisely why I would, if I were you.

" No better than Logan really when it comes to that. If lacking a bit of refinement. "

She decides not to point out that Logan probably doesn't smoke much weed, because she thinks she'd really rather not know.

"Speaking of Logan. . . anything interesting happening there?"

She fidgets slightly ~~because her mun would like there to be something~~ .

" No, why would there be? "

She shrugs innocently. Because you brought him up.

She sips her drink and looks around the room where she spots Indy. "Hey, Hon, do you mind?" She nods in his direction, indicating her desire to join him.

She looks over to where her mom is nodding and shakes her head.

" Nah, go ahead. I promised Paris we'd go out tonight anyway so I should be heading back. "

"Thanks hon!" she drops a kiss to her daughter's forehead and picks up her drink. "Tell Paris I said to make me a seashell picture frame."

She smiles teasingly and walks over to Indy.

She laughs.

" I'll tell her, she will be thrilled. "

With that said, she finishes up her drink and walks out of Milliway's.
