Seahorse steps: Wednesday Late Afternoon (after workshops)

Jack was stretched out on the grass near the steps, basking in the afternoon heat -- shirtless, of course - he was back in Seawhorse, after all.

Oddly enough, he was also reading a book he'd handwavily picked up after his workshop. It wasn't as battered as Sam's copy, but the cover was the same.

There was a box of J,Gob's savoury muffins near his elbow, which he'd happily share, and a bottle of sunscreen, which he'd more than happily rub on share with anyone who wanted to join him in shirtlessness.

[As open as a thing that it is bounded neither by time nor space!]

"But if you can learn to lie well, maybe you can master the blushing. If you can figure out how to do it on command, you'll be able to fool anyone."

"True, but I don't really want to be a con artist," Rory decided. "I mostly just want to be able to play poker effectively."

"I'm relieved to hear that. If you decided to become a con artist no one in the world would be safe! What with your brains and your beauty, people would be falling all over themselves to give you anything you wanted." He cocked an eyebrow at her. "I'm considered a pretty good poker player, if you want someone to practice with?"

She smiled. "That'd be nice, since my favorite poker player left town at the beginning of summer. I'm just a horrible, horrible liar, and it'd be nice to be able to not stutter my way through every bluff."

"Anytime you want, just grab me and a deck of cards, and we'll see what we can do to get you bluffing like a pro."

Rory gave her watch a thoughtful look, and frowned. "And...sadly I probably ought to get going, as I have a puppy who'll be waking up hungry soon." She smiled as she stood. "Enjoy the book, seriously."

"I will. You can explain the bits I don't understand to me sometime," he said, shading his eyes as he looked up at her. "Pat Vladdie for me?"

"I will," she said with a grin. "See you, Jack." She tossed a wave over her shoulder as she headed off towards Meerkat.
