[Over Frankie's shoulder; she leans her head against his]

Who is this arsehole?

[action]

[never_very_good]

Some kid vamp.

[Doublechecking that the device is off, he looks up at her. Or, well, tries to, he can't see much at that angle.]

Pretty new. Ended up babysitting when he got here.

[action]

[eiremagic]

[Her arms go around his waist]

You can pick them, can't you?

[action]

[never_very_good]

Fuck if I get it.

[He huffs out a little laugh at that, puts a hand over hers.]

Think he's just drunk on it.

[action]

[eiremagic]

[And she moves so her head is between his shoulderblades]

Fucking vampires.

[action]

[never_very_good]

Figure there's worse people to show him around. Don't think he's really so bad.

[His shoulders are pretty relaxed, at least now that she's resting there.]

[action]

[eiremagic]

Too nice, boyo.

[She closes her eyes and leaaaaans]

[action]

[never_very_good]

Maybe.

[In a minute or two he'll wriggle around to face her but it's kind of nice being flopped on.]

That such a bad thing?

[action]

[eiremagic]

Not if you're me.

[eiremagic]

[She's coming in just as he's getting ready for work]

I didn't mean for him to tell you.

[never_very_good]

I figured. Hard keeping secrets though.

[He's been trying and failing to find the right time to bring this up.]

You really wanna get married?

[eiremagic]

I don't want a party.

I just want you to...wear it. For me. Because you love me, and I love you.

[She's turning red.]

It's stupid.

[never_very_good]

You wanna be married without getting married.

[He's not laughing, just thoughtful. Hell, it's not the weirdest thing he's ever heard.]

[eiremagic]

I told you it was stupid!

[never_very_good]

Think most people want the party and not the rest.

Still want to?

[eiremagic]

I know shite's bad for you back home.

I want you to be happy here.

[never_very_good]

Don't have to marry me to make me happy.

[And at that he smiles.]

[eiremagic]

[She's coming into his work. She's also wearing a really big coat, like far too big for her, and a slight scowl.]

Frankie-

[She spots him and moves over to him]

Frankie, I need your help.

[never_very_good]

[There is basically nothing in the hierarchy of Frankie's interests that beats Eden. If Ed were still around, it might be a toss up, but even then it's no guarantee he wouldn't go for her. So she gets his full attention, no delay.]

What's wrong?

[eiremagic]

[She scowls a bit again, looks around. The bar is mostly empty - just a couple of people in the back, and she comes up to him to whisper.]

I tore me scrubs and coming here took less time than going home. Do you have a change?

[never_very_good]

Might be a t-shirt around somewhere, dunno. What happened?

[eiremagic]

I'm not saying. Grab it for me? Bless, I think you're tall enough I can wear it as a dress.

[She will still have her scrub bottoms on because legs]

[never_very_good]

Can't tease like that.

[Spill it, Eden. With a glance at the mostly empty room, he heads toward the back.]

[eiremagic]

[She follows him, and takes the coat off. Her scrubs look like they've been mauled, basically holding on in tatters]

Why not?

[never_very_good]

[He might have a flippant answer, except that he glances over and sees it.]

What the fuck?

[There is no way that whatever did that was okay.]
