Seth entered the bar, feeling much better then the day before. Ordering a bagel and a cup of coffee, he situated himself at a table, eating and people watching. Maybe he'd run into someone he knew, or maybe he'd even meet someone else. He'd welocome anyone, after all, he's feeling rather social today.

Jaina nods. "Would it help if you had someone go with you? Backup of a sort?"

"That'd be nice," he said, leaning his elbow on the table, his chin in his hand.

Jaina smiles. "I don't mind volunteering for the mission."

Seth returned the smile. "Thanks. I appreciate it, Jaina. And hey, if I can get home, you're welcome to come visit Orange County."

"You're welcome, Seth. Just find me whenever you want to give it a try." She takes a sip of her drink. "And if you do get home, I might take you up on that. I've been to Earth twice and wouldn't mind going again."

"Maybe tomorrow, after dinner. That gives me some time to think about it and prepare myself," he said, leaning back in his chair with a sigh. "I just hope I can get back. I'm really starting to miss Summer."

"Alright." She cocks her head, looking at him curiously. "Isn't summer a season?"

Seth smiled at that. "No...well, yes, but the Summer I'm talking about is a person. She's my girlfriend."

"My mistake." Jaina chuckles. "I don't blame you, then."

"It's all right. But yeah...I'm really starting to miss her. I don't have anyone to yell at me if she's not around."

"Why would she yell at you?"

Seth grinned again. "That's just Summer. But I've been in love with her for...wow...as long as I can remember."

"That's a long time," Jaina replies, wrapping her hand around her necklace. "It must be an incredible feeling."

"Yeah, it is. We've broke up twice, and I've tried dating other people...but it doesn't feel right with anyone but Summer," Seth explained, sighing happily.

Jaina nods. "Before Jag came here, I was briefly involved with someone else. Overall, I think it just helped to show me how much I loved him."

She grins lopsidedly, playing with the necklace. "I'm still trying to really figure out what that means, but at least I know that now."

"Hey, be lucky he's here. At least you're not alone," Seth said, smiling sadly at Jaina. "Well, I think I'm heading back up to bed. Maybe this time I'll actually get some sleep."

"I am," she says softly. "I'll see you tommorow then to give the door a try?"

Seth nodded, getting up from the table. "Sure. Maybe we can have dinner together before hand. If you want, that is."

She grins. "Sure, sounds great. Sleep well, Seth."

"You too, Jaina," he called, giving her a wave before heading upstairs.
