Rory walks through the door to the diner, and shrugs off her heavy winter coat. "Mom? Luke? You guys here?"

Lorelai pokes her head out from the kitchen.

"Hey, kid!" She hurries over to give her daughter a hug and take a good look at her. "You look pretty good. How are you feeling?"

[auroryborealis]

"Better," Rory replies, smiling. "Hey...is it okay that I invited a couple of guests? Logan and, um, my friend Lockheed. Neither of them actually had anywhere to go."

[msgilmoredanes]

"Of course. Luke is cooking way too much food. I tried helping, but, well..."

Logan pushed the door to the diner open. His left arm was in a cast, his face was bruised, his nose bandaged and his hands were covered in cuts. His condition contrasted with his clothing - nice shirt, tie and slacks. He lingered in the doorway. "Hey."

[auroryborealis]

Rory smiled, and went over to him. "Hi. You look nice," she said, taking his hand and gently pulling him further inside. "Come on in, it's cold."

[msgilmoredanes]

Lorelai's eyes register surprise at how banged up Logan still looks, but, minding Rory's request, she doesn't say anything.

"Logan, I'm glad you could join us," she says. She may even be sincere.

"Thanks," Logan said. He slipped his jacket off and hung it on the coat rack. "You look beautiful." He gave her a light kiss.

Lockheed flew up to the door and pushed it open. He took a quick look around inside. /Nice place,/ he said to himself.

[auroryborealis]

"Lockheed!" Rory said delightedly from where she was standing with Logan. "Glad you could make it."

[psycho_jackass]

Logan eyed the dragon. "Thanksgiving in Fandom," he muttered, to no one in particular. "It's nice to see you again, Professor," he said politely to Lorelai.

[auroryborealis]

Rory smiled, knowing Logan was going out of his way to be polite, and discreetly took his hand.

Dinner

[msgilmoredanes]

Lorelai and Rory help Luke carry everything out and set it up on the tables they've pushed together in the diner.

Once everyone is seated, Lorelai looks expectantly at Luke.

"Well? What's my surprise?" she asks, bouncing slightly.

Lockheed sat at the table in anticipation. He had no clue what the surprise could possibly be - or even that there was supposed to be a surprise - but that didn't stop him from being curious, even if it most likely didn't involve him.
