♫ 14 - that is what I listen to...

[tossing his guitar on the bed, Lindsey grins as he finally got a song to sing figured out and a slot with Lorne at Caritas. He stops and grabs his journal to plan on letting a few people know]

[Jilly]

I'm performing tonight at Caritas around sevenish. I know it's last minute, but I'd really love it if you'd show up.

[/Jilly]


[and for everyone else...]

If anyone's interested, I'm going to be playing at Caritas tonight 'round seven. Anyone who wants to come down is welcome. I'll even buy a round. I'm sure someone will have an open journal if ya can't make it. Hope to see you there.

[he leaves to shower, then heads back to the club. When he gets up around seven, he just has one song to sing...]

[ooc: feel free to chat with him before or after the performance. I just didn't want to have two separate threads to confuse people]

[smiles] I didn't mean that... I'm not trying to drain your savings so soon.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Well. I'm sure I can talk Lorne into letting me work off a tab.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[squeezing his hand back] Well, I'll be a cheap date. Promise. Another coke is fine.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Do you want a little cherry in that coke? [grin]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Sure. Why not?

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[gets her the drink, stealing a cherry for himself as well from the garnish boxes and just flashes the bartender a smile before handing it to Jilly, sucking on his cherry]

There you go

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks. [accepting it gratefully. Dancing always makes her thirsty]

[glancing around] Lorne really did an amazing job here. It's... very different from any of the places I went to back home, but it's nice. [a grin] I'm... not quite used to the karaoke, though.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Don't get used to the karaoke. It can get scary.

[smirks and plays with the stem between his fingers]

It's a lot like this back home. It feels friendlier here, though.

[because half the people in the audience weren't clients or opposing parties]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[laughing] I can agree with that.

Friendlier is good.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Friendlier is so much better.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[sipping her coke, she'll smile as she watches the next person walk up to the stage to take their place, before looking back at him... thoughtful]

You've mentioned that a few times. Or, hinted at it anyway. What made it so unfriendly back home? Can I- ask?

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[yeah, avoiding eye contact there as he sighs and just looks at the stage. He's still not all that ready to reveal who he is back home]

You can, just not sure I really want to tell you yet. Which I know ain't fair...

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[.....]

[reaching out, she'll take one of his hands with a faint smile] Then I never asked.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[he looks at her and gives her a small, thankful smile for not pushing]

Thanks.

So, want me to walk you back home again?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[not when she knows that feeling all too well] Nothing to thank me for. [fingers threading with his]

...that'd be nice. Since we're going the same direction and all.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

You have to go meet some kids this time, or can I walk you all the way to your door tonight?

[because it's the gentlemanly thing to do]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

No kids. Not with everyone safe and sound again.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Good. That everyone's safe and sound I mean.

[chuckles and reaches for a beer from the bartender]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

It's really a relief to have everyone back.

The Doctor said he was going to try and talk to the girl who did it, see if he could convince her there were other ways to get what she wants, but I don't know if he had any success.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Well, let's hope he knows what he's doing and doesn't start a second round instead.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[shaking her head] He wouldn't. He's pretty secretive about his past, but... I get the feeling he's handled this before.

[total trust for the Doctors from this one]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good if he knows how to handle it.

[just shrugs. He's never met any of them]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[a smile] He's a good man. [all eleven versions of him]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Good.

[he looks over at her, smiling]

So what do you say we get out of here and head back towards the castle?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[one last sip of her coke before setting it down with a nod] Sounds good.
