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.

*I'll tell you about Sebastian's charming self another time,* Karla promised. *No reason to get sidetracked now without any reason to think he's involved.*

But if he were, he was going to find there were many worse fates than being told to go fuck yourself in a lake.

Those poor ducks.

*Maybe I can organize some small slumber party one night, too,* she offered. *Me, Kennedy, Raven, Tara....Females who won't flip out if Raven has a nightmare or something. The last thing we want is to spook her.*

//No spooking Raven,// Jonothon firmly agreed, backing that statement up with a nod. //It might take a bit of convincing to get her to attend such a party, luv, but I have full confidence that you'll be able to do so, if anybody.//

Just a hunch Jono had. Something about Raven caring for Karla, like, a lot.

Jono must just be unusually perceptive is all. Really. Speaking of, Karla figured this was probably not the best time to remind Jono of the fact that Raven had been engaged in a threesome with her, even if it was to simply assure him it was done and over with.

*It'll help if I don't frame it as a party,* Karla said thoughtfully. *Just a small gathering. Especially if I point out no one expects to sleep at one of these things anyway.* She pushed a lock of hair out of her face and added, *One of the bits of caste-Craft I get from being a Black Widow is that I understand dreams and how to navigate them. I can maybe brew her something for a dreamless sleep? Or stand guard at night over her dreams? If you think it might come to that, let me know? You know you'll have whatever help you need.*

Jonothon nodded again, and then pulled himself to his feet again, offering Karla a hand.

//We'll see how tonight goes, perhaps, and then I'll fill you in after? I've invited her to th'shop with me as well, so that might not be th'best place to talk about... all of this. But... I will let you know.//

Karla leaned over to give Jono a fierce hug. She knew how shewas feeling about this whole situation and figured he could use one. "Thanks," she whispered. "I'll do the same for you if I learn anything. We'll fix this, though. We will."

//We have to,// Jonothon said simply, returning the hug with only the barest hint of hesitation. //It's Raven.//

And that was all there was to it.
