Charlie ambles downstairs. He's wearing Bartleby's sweatshirt again. Yes, it's big enough to fit a small island nation inside. It's also warm.

He sits at the bar and looks around.

Charlie looks at him skeptically but touches the pendant with his right hand.

He hears . . . Bach. Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring as if performed on an acoustic guitar. He closes his eyes with pleasure.

"This is beautiful. How'd you do that?"

*he blushes and sips on his chocolate shake*

[bloodyrockgod]

"Garion?" He opens his eyes. "You're not 'just a boy' at all."

*he can't meet Charlie's eyes*

Did it help?

[bloodyrockgod]

"Yeah," he says in wonder. "It does.

"How'd you do that?"

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

*he shrugs*

It's what I do.

*and sips his shake*

I'm glad you feel better.

[bloodyrockgod]

"How can I thank you?"

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

*he shrugs*

You just did. I didn't do it for anything. I'm just glad you're feeling better.

*and he sips his shake until*

Though...if you happen to know if there are any jobs here I might be able to do? I'm almost out of money.

"Um . . . security was hiring, and I think they're short on bartenders. You could ask Gil--he's a smallish brown-haired bloke who's usually here in the mornings, or Bernard, he's the head bartender. He'll know what they need."

*he nods*

Okay. Thank you.

*a small sigh*

Keeping up with a Tolnedran Imperial Princess and her desires? Not so easy.

*he grins*

But I wouldn't trade her for anything.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Now, this is your wife, yeah?"

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

*he nods and blushes*

Yes. She showed up here. We have a room upstairs.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Honeymooning? Good on you." He's still stroking the lyre pendant in wonder.

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

*he blushes*

I suppose. Certainly not where we'd intended. But...I like it here. I've met two people from home other than her, one from a different time, but one who's a good friend. So it's not so bad.

[bloodyrockgod]

He smiles at Garion's blush. Kids. "That's good. A couple of my friends have started showing up too. I'm glad they've found their way here."

He yawns abruptly--damn insomnia. "Hey. Thank you so much for this. I'm going to see if it'll work a miracle for me and let me get some sleep.

"Good night. Thank you."

*he smiles and nods*

Certainly. I wish you well.
