Honolulu Heights, Friday

So several people had been promised a housewarming party - and George had managed to convince Mitchell not to invite everyone in the whole neighbourhood, so chances were it might not even end in disaster - which would double as a 'welcome back, Annie!' party

Jack sat on the couch with tea -- he'd leave the alcohol for later, when his senses got over the shock of so many other supernaturals -- and ran a finger over his lei, unable to stop touching the flowers.

He was also trying to stop himself from taking all the finger sandwiches.

"I might keep eating them as long as she makes them," Jack warned, but took another one -- chicken this time.

He gave George a slightly wary look. George had done his best to describe the transformation, but there was really nothing like going through it to make you understand. Not that he was quite sure how to express that, either.

"So," he said, considering and tabling a few different approaches. "How have you been? It must be grand, having Annie back again."

Jack tilted his head to the side. "I'm not sure I'd complain about anyone who wanted to feed me," he said. "On the other hand, the waste of bread would make you a bit mad after a while. Perhaps she'll settle once she gets more -- acclimated?"

Jack snorted, because there was really only one it George could mean.

"I'm alive." That was the best that could be said for it, really. "Don't know how you get through it every month, but I guess there's no choice. And next time, I'm finding a better place than some sewers."

"I was thinking about a fenced yard," Jack volunteered. "There's ... a bit of money. May as well make it work for me for once."

Not that there was enough for a fenced yard of any size in London, but it'd be possible someplace like Barry Island.

"Will you both fit in the basement?"

Jack frowned hard, because he hadn't thought about that.

"I don't know," he said quietly, in the end. "I didn't see the -- thing that got me jump, and there wasn't space the other week. Emma said I was the size of a wolfhound."

Jack felt a deep internal panic at the middle bit of what George said.

"Yeah, I don't think I could stand a cage and tranquilizers," he decided. "I might bite whoever got to lock me in."

It reminded him of something, and he lowered his voice. "Oh -- do you have problems with water outside? Rivers, the ocean, any of that?"

"It makes me sick to my stomach even like this," Jack told him. "So that's another option, if there was a way to test it without..."

Possibly killing innocent people? Well, yes. That. But it was easier not to say that bit out loud.
