Library, 3/13

Parker is hungover, unhappy, and really not glad to be back from break.

The Library is open.

Do not taunt the Library aide. This morning, she bites.

[ open for all your library needs ]

Parker blinked. "Seriously? Any news on who?" She pushed a hand through her hair and tried to focus. "Or when, exactly?"

"Veronica Mars met him in town Wedneday," Angela said. "She said his name was Kurt Wagner, she thought, and he's very nice."

She paused. "Oh, and she said he was blue, and I don't think she meant, like, in the emo way. BUT he talks, so ... step up, right?"

"Talking would be good, yeah." Parker leaned her chin on her hands. "I've liked all the blue people I know, not that that means anything. Hank. Zhaan, in town. So, maybe that's a good omen? Hopefully?"

"Hank was sweet," Angela agreed. "I've never met Zhaan."

She scraped her fingernail against the desk. "Veronica didn't know when he would come in, though. He's probably still getting settled."

"Hmph. Hopefully he won't ask us to reorganize the library again. Or, at least, I think that's what the last one was communicating." Parker looked a little more subdued. "Last night, when I was drunk...."

"I will kill if I have to reorganize the library," Angela said.

Her expression shifted to match Parker's, but she hesitated to bring up the Jarod thing. "It wasn't a big deal, getting the cab."

"Maybe not. But I appreciate it. I was in no shape to do it myself." She paused, and added, more hesitantly, "And, uh." She covered her face. "For listening to me panic about Jarod."

Angela stared at her shoes. "That was also nothing."

"Have you talked to him yet?"

"It was something. Not nothing." Parker's voice was very quiet. She shook her head. "I'm trying to think how to phrase my apology so he won't think I'm nuts. 'Sorry I ran away, Jarod, the kiss was great. No, I'm not sorry the kiss was great.' And then I see the conversation deteriorating from there."

Angela leaned her chin on her hand and closed her eyes in thought. "Okay, how do you see it deteriorating?" she asked. "Because "the kiss was great, sorry I freaked," seems like a place to start, anyhow."

"Because the next question is 'why did you kiss me?' and I don't have a good answer yet." Parker grimaced. "Aside from the truth, which just isn't happening."

[back in 2 hours!]

Angela sighed. "Okay."

"I don't get why it would be so awful for you to tell him you like him and just wanted to kiss him. I mean, he clearly likes you, right?"

[OOC: NP]

Parker went very quiet at this. "I don't know."

[back from dentist, ow]

Angela shrugged. "Think about it."

"Is this about where you guys grew up, maybe?" she asked gingerly.

Parker's eyes jerked up, then away. "Some of it." She frowned. "It's... complicated. And mostly Jarod's life. I don't know how to explain it."

Angela nodded, swallowing. "If it's not yours to tell, it's not," she said. "But ... I don't know. I hope you guys can make it through the weirdness. Somehow."

Parker smiled. "You and Marty give me hope. If you guys can work around his past, maybe...." She shut up, shaking her head. "Thanks, Angela."
