Flat in London, Sunday

[grand_fallguy]

The road to hell was paved with good intentions, that's what they said. well Tim didn't know about that, but this hangover seemed to be a good metaphor for that. Some well meaning Fae had slipped some human spirits into the course of drinks the night before. Elven wine didn't come with hangovers

Portals were a wonderful thing, Gwynn had thought. Completely wonderful and they usually got her places that she wanted to go.

This time, her portal had been scheduled for Friday night to Tim's place, but somehow there had been a delay and then she was routed through some place where there was a lot of fighting happening. Gwynn, of course, got involved with the fighting because she couldn't seem to get to her next portal sight without going through the two armies.

Which is why a slightly cranky Gwynn was knocking on Tim's door. She was sure Neil would let her in. She figured that she could wait for him to get back from the party he'd invited her to and then explain why she hadn't shown up as expected.

Oh Good this was probably Gwynn wanting to know why he hadn't shown up. The coffee was still working it's magic, and he hadn't done any morning grooming yet.

This was one of the joys of long term serious relationships. And it was a true test, if you could look at someone in the morning before they were ready for the world, and still see the person you were attracted to, it was a good sign.

Tim opened the door and remembered that he'd gotten a key made for her. "Gwynn, hey, c'mon in. I'm sorry I'm running a little late." Very late, Tim. Very.

She gave him a confused look as she came into the apartment. She looked him up and down and became more than a little concerned.

"Tim, why aren't you in Scotland?" She sighed, shaking her head. "I hope that it wasn't on account of me. I know I'm two days late and you're no doubt cross about that, but I promise you that it wasn't my intention to not show up. That bloody Portalocity..."

Hurry up, coffee. "Okay, I'm not in Scotland, because I wound up drinking something other than what I thought I was drinking, and overslept a lot. I actually called Portalocity to see what was up when I couldn't get through to you. I got one of those 'the number you are trying to reach is out of synch' messages when I tried to call you. They said something about having to divert some portals and then they got into the jargon. I'm pretty sure they do that to shut the customers up."
