The stairwell between the second floor and the fifth: Saturday morning

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal was trotting up the stairs again, the same as yesterday, the major difference being that he was in his own body. His journey had some urgency, as he remembered exactly where he'd gone to sleep - with Molly - which meant, presumably, that Jack had woken up with her.

This was not sitting well at all.

"Fancy meeting you here." Jack, back in his own body, grinned down at Karal. He'd left Molly (http://time-agent.livejournal.com/132391.html) and was on his way down to Cedric. "We have to stop doing this. People will start to talk."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal glowered at him, or tried to. He wasn't very good at it. "Tell me you were respectful to Molly, that you did not touch her."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Both eyebrows shot up. "I can't, considering where you put my body when you went to sleep."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

His eyes got very wide and he opened his mouth to say, well, he didn't know what he was going to say, but he was going to say whatever it was very loudly.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack held up a hand. "Take it easy. It was perfectly innocent," he assured him, hiding his amusement. "She's waiting for you."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal searched his face, then subsided, looking sheepish. "Cedric would like me to send you down to him. I imagine he will be happy to see you."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"And vice versa. Your body's cute, but not being able to do anything with it kind of took the fun out of it."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Flushing, he looked away. "You have my thanks."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"No problem, despite being sorely tempted." He came down the last few stairs, so he was standing next to Karal, and smirked. "Your virtue is intact."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that didn't help the blushing. "Oh good," he said in a strangled voice.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack laughed and squeezed his shoulder. "You might have some explaining to do, though. And watch yourself next time you see your roommate. She wields a wicked shoe."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Sunlord," he breathed, closing his eyes.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Which reminds me." Jack pulled the Vkandis medal over his head and settled it carefully around Karal's neck. "There. Back where it belongs."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

His eyes snapped open, and his fingers closed around it automatically. "Thank you."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack studied him, leaning against the railing, arms folded. "Told you it wouldn’t be so bad."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

His automatic reaction was to protest that, yes, it had been, but he stopped. "Maybe…"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Maybe?"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"There were some not unpleasant parts," he finally conceded. "Although your body seems to have a mind of its own!"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack smirked and didn't deny it. "And you're okay?"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I am," he replied, realising it was true. "You were right, it was Fandom Weirdness and it did wear off."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I usually am, and it usually does." With one last quick grin, he started down the stairs.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Jack, wait, please," Karal called after him.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He stopped, one eyebrow raised in question.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Thank you for keeping your word," he said earnestly.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Laughing, he shook his head. "You're welcome." As he disappeared down the stairs (http://vkandis-son.livejournal.com/21734.html?thread=283878#t283878), he called back, "And your friend Gavin is very cute."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal gaped after him. "Gavin?" Perhaps he could just stay here, and no one would ever find him. Except Molly was waiting, and that was worth risking a little embarrassment for. Smiling, he turned and kept trotting up the stairs (http://time-agent.livejournal.com/132391.html).
