Library, [01/09]

[furnaceface]

Jono was perhaps a bit distracted today as he went about his duties in the library, straightening out this and that, making certain that the displays were all in order, checking for overdue books and, failing all of that, dusting.

And if he just so happened to be lingering in sections that had books on things like demonic possession, well, that was purely coincidence, really.

Truly.

They could only hope, really.

But then, Jono already knew better than to think that love was strong enough to ward away any tragedy. After all, tragedy was hardly tragic at all, unless somebody got hurt.

That wouldn't stop him from accepting that kiss, or from thinking about kissing her, in turn. If anything, it would just serve to make him more determined to stop putting all faith in faith alone, to try to do something about this.

//I'm holding you to that, Sunshine.//

Raven was a romantic. She had to believe in the power of loooooove. It was the only hope she had to cling to right now. She had faith in the powers her friends possessed, but she also knew her father's power, and feared what it would do to them if they became involved in her inner turmoil.

"Do you wish me to make arrangements for tonight, or will you?" she said when the kiss finally ended.

//I can,// Jono replied, raising a hand to run his fingers lightly over her cheek. //It's no trouble, really. I'll stop by after my shift here ends and book th'room.//

One less thing, he figured, for Raven to worry about.

"Where shall I meet you then?" she asked, closing her eyes with a happy sigh at the touch of his fingers. "And when?"

She had a fleeting thought that at least with the hotel on the island they wouldn't somehow accidentally end up with the same room she'd been in with Karla and Warren. Awwwwwwkward.

//I'll pick you up this evening,// Jono replied, //at yer room, so you don't have to carry a change of clothing all over the island.//

If they'd somehow managed to get the same room that Karla's Virgin Night had been in, Jono could have very well just spent the duration of the evening smacking his forehead against the wall. Thank goodness for off-island threesomes, indeed.

The narrative had to be restrained from saying that Raven would simply put herself between the wall and Jono and...give him something else to bang against.

...obviously, said narrative was not successfully held back. Ooops.

"I will look forward to it," Raven said. "But I should stop distracting you from your duties now." Fortunately she hadn't looked too closely at the books he was currently tidying up.

//Mm, yes.// Jonothon reached down and back for her hands, holding them lightly for a moment before giving them a small squeeze. //I'll see you later, then, luv. Try not to get into too much trouble without me, mm?//

That was simply Jono lightly poking fun at her. Truly.

"I will do my best," Raven said.

She began to pull away, then stopped and gave him another quick kiss. "I will see you soon."
