[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.]

[eiremagic]

[She looks embarrassed, a bit]

It's really bloody stupid, yeah?

[She takes her tattered shirt off]

[never_very_good]

Then let's laugh about it.

[Some digging does indeed yield a t-shirt, crumpled and faded but plain and serviceable. He holds it out, watches her strip off the old one.]

[eiremagic]

[She flushes a bit.]

Some arsehole with claws lost a bit of his temper. Me shirt caught it. Nothing to do damage.

[She takes his shirt, slides it on.]

[never_very_good]

Lucky for him.

[eiremagic]

Hey-

[She reaches for his hands, to grip them]

You know I'd let you beat up anyone who hurt me, yeah?

[never_very_good]

[He folds his hands around hers obligingly, half a grin twitching his lip.]

You're good to me like that.

[eiremagic]

Do you want me to get you to protect me?

[She tightens her hands and leans up to kiss him]

[never_very_good]

[He kisses her before answering, taking his time.]

Nah. I like that you can take care of yourself. Just don't like when you have to.

[eiremagic]

You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, boyo.

[She nudges a bit closer to him.]

[never_very_good]

[He kisses her again, because Frankie is terrible with words and that seems like the best way to return the sentiment. There's a certain desperation to it, not lust but devotion. He drops her hands to settle his arms around her waist instead.]

[eiremagic]

[She kisses him, kisses him again.]

Frankie-

[She presses against him. He's everything to her. The whole world.]

[never_very_good]

[He would destroy anyone who hurt her, out of utter selfishness.]

I love you, you know that?

[She'd better, but maybe a reminder doesn't hurt.]

[eiremagic]

[She smiles, teeth and all]

I love you, too.

[never_very_good]

[He smiles back, and pulls her against him.

See, this is the problem visiting at work, he doesn't actually want to go back to what he was doing.]

[eiremagic]

[She just settles against him]

Close the bloody bar, cara.

[never_very_good]

Gonna get a shit reputation if I throw people out whenever I feel like it.

[But he's not actually saying no. It's not fair, the things she does to him. Fuck, he's grateful.]

[eiremagic]

Who gives a shit? It's three pm and it's a vampire bar.

[She tugs his hands. Come on.]

[never_very_good]

[He makes an odd, amused little noise that isn't quite a laugh. Eden, if you ever use your powers for evil... well, it won't affect much, but the Raven regulars will hate you.]

Wait here.

[It's a feat of willpower that lets him head back out to the floor to politely kick the handful of stragglers out.]
