Library, Sunday 04/15

[trigons_child]

Raven had heard about the meeting at Town Hall and was concerned about what it might be about, but she didn't want to abandon the library, either. She made a note to find out what was going on later unless someone came by later to share the news

After the town hall meeting, Jono was in a bit of a daze. He was aware that he had cleaning to do, that he hand plans for tonight. That... That there was...

He...

Sorry, Raven. He wasn't entirely sure when he'd made his way to the library, but now that he was here, he was kind of stumbling up to you and wrapping his arms around you. This had not been a good day, so far.

"I'll be certain to do just that," Jono decided, smiling a wry little smile just for her.

Really, Jono hoped they were doing well, too. He hadn't been able to get in touch with Lee since M-Day, though Logan had assured him that she was still alive somewhere out there. That was as good a starting point as any. And if she was still staying with Angelo, that narrowed down the area he had to search somewhat. Down to Los Angeles, really. Which was... huge, but nothing he couldn't handle, at least.

"I'm certain they'll be glad to get your regards, luv."

"And if you need me for anything, even if it is just to teleport you somewhere, please do not hesitate to call me."

Raven sighed softly and shook her head at herself. "I am sorry. I should not fuss so much." But after what his world had done to him, she couldn't help it.

"There isn't any need to fuss," Jono replied softly. "Angelo's place is in LA, and Lee went off to room with him after Generation X disbanded. They might have found a different place to live since, after... what happened with the Church of Humanity," because that reminder would totally help put her mind at ease, sure, "but finding them should just be a matter of calling up Logan for a favour."

The way Jono saw it, Logan owed him. Big.

And Logan had been the one to actually look for Jono when he'd gone missing, for which Raven was grateful.

"I will do my best not to worry," she promised, finding a smile. "And I will put all my fussing into making dinner tonight."

"If that's the way you're going to go about it, tonight's meal stands to be unparalleled," Jono teased, smiling faintly. "I've seen the way you worry, luv. I'll be fine."

... Yes.

Except the last time he'd been in his home world he'd been kidnapped and brainwashed and forced to do horrible things and then almost died and abandoned and healed but altered by some sort of insane would-be-god. Which she wasn't going to think about too hard because if she did there would be hand wringing and hyperventilating and she'd never let him go alone.

Instead she tucked that all away and kept her smile. "I know," she said. "And perhaps I will have your surprise ready for when you return."

"And here I am without even a hint?" Light-hearted teasing time was a go! "Well, you must be excited about it if that's the case."

Re: Talk to Raven [Library 04/15]

[trigons_child]

"If I give you a hint you might figure it out, and then it would not be a surprise," Raven said. "So it is for your protection that I do not hint." Do not question her logic. "But yes, I am very excited."

Re: Talk to Raven [Library 04/15]

[apocalipped]

Yes, Jono could totally see how having a surprise ruined on him could be bad for his personal safety.

Oh, Raven.

"Well, then I'm looking forward to it," he decided, nodding faintly. "Whatever it is."

"I am certain you will enjoy it," Raven said happily. Once she got a few details hammered out.

She glanced about the library; no one other than Jono had come in all day, and from experience she didn't expect anyone else to come. "It is quiet and late enough that perhaps I can close down the library now," she said. "Has your kitchen been cleared of all life other than what belongs there?"

Re: Talk to Raven [Library 04/15]

[apocalipped]

Jono grimaced a little, and then offered a shrug that was almost apologetic in nature, there.

"I did most of the cleaning last night, but there were still a few more things I had wanted to scrub down before dinner time," he admitted. "After the broadcast it was straight to Town Hall, and then from there... more or less in this direction. But if you wanted to come back with me now, you could pull up a seat while I finished up, if you don't mind just sitting around for a while."

Re: Talk to Raven [Library 04/15]

[trigons_child]

"I must go back to my room to get a few things," Raven said. "I could take my time."

Her tone was still light and teasing; she suspected Jono was going overboard just a little with the cleaning.

Re: Talk to Raven [Library 04/15]

Well, perhaps. He'd finished Rinoa's paperwork, and had found himself getting twitchy last night with nothing actually productive to distract himself with.

It was called a 'displacement activity.'

"No, no need," he sighed. "I don't think anything's too likely to come crawling from the garbage disposal, Fandom's insanity notwithstanding. I'll just give the kitchen another quick wipe-down, and it should be set for cooking in."

Re: Talk to Raven [Library 04/15]

Raven understood the need for busy work. She'd spent more than one Sunday making sure the books were obsessively organized on their shelves to distract her from other things.

"Do you want to wait while I fetch what I need from my room then?" she said. "So we may walk to town together?"

Re: Talk to Raven [Library 04/15]

[apocalipped]

"That would work," Jono decided, nodding faintly. "Might as well enjoy one more walk through town before all hell breaks loose tomorrow. I can entertain myself for a few minutes with whatever needs to be re-shelved, in the meantime."

Displacement. Activity.
