The roof: Tuesday night

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack hadn't seen Parker's email; even if he had, he probably wouldn't have cared. He didn't want to stay in his room and, despite the cold, the roof seemed the place to go.

In an effort to make the cold less noticeable, he'd handwavily made a trip into town for supplies and was now the proud owner of a large flask of green drink. Sweet, potent, warming green drink.

Sitting on the edge of the roof, legs dangling over the side, bundled into his long black coat, he was sipping from the flask and looking out over the island. As the level in the flask dropped, the faint sounds of ting-a-ling-a-ling could be heard, drifting out into the night.

[ooc: Open, as roofs are. I'll be slow, though, because of work.]

Jack's naturally suspicious nature made him look at her out of the corner of his eye, but she looked sincere. "That's sweet of you, Lana," he said after a minute, more than a bit puzzled as to why, and hugged her tighter. "Thank you."

Lana looked at him a bit curiously. "It's not something you need to thank me for. And you might not rush in to thank me quite so quickly. I'm told by a fairly reliable, if somewhat cynical, source that I love too quickly and too easily. But," she shrugged, "it's the way I am."

"I like you the way you are," Jack said simply. "And you need to do, need to be, what makes you happy."

"I don't know how to be anything else," Lana said quietly. "So I guess it's good you like me the way I am."

"I do," he confirmed. "I'm not sure I've ever met anyone quite like you."

"Oh dear," Lana said. "You who've seen it all? Now I'm truly worried about you. I'm just an ordinary everyday person.

Jack smiled down at her and shook his head. "Maybe so, but where I come from, the places I've been? That makes you special."

She smiled up at him. "Well, thanks. Good to know ordinary and boring is special somewhere," she said teasingly.
