(Eventually) OOM: bird song

[isaysimplewords]

Cal is at a table in the middle of Milliways, as per usual. He also has his usual mug of raktajino.

Slightly less usual is the small scarlet feather he's studying, twirling it contemplatively between his fingers.

Cal nods slowly.

"How long were you planning on having it around?" It can't be much longer, or even the longtime workers here would start wondering.

"Oh, it will find a new home by tomorrow morning. I should thank you for keeping me on my toes in that regard."

Cal looks a bit wry.

"Glad I could help," he says.

He still wants to know what it is, of course. But, since he believes her when she says it isn't dangerous, and it's not going to be around much longer - much as he hates to admit it, it's officially none of his business anymore.

But now that they're being more straightforward with each other, maybe she'll tell him some other time anyway.

And then maybe he'll tell Bela, because she'd like to know more, too. Especially if she might come here for good. Not that she's decided yet.

"You might want to think about better security, by the way. It's ridiculously easy to break in here."

Bela can be helpful, too! Sort of.

"I'll, uh, take that under consideration."

Elaine walks to the bird cage and unhooks the basket from the stand.

"If we're done here, I'll lock up after you and head for home."

"Looks like we are."

Cal can take a hint. When he wants to.

"See you tomorrow?"

[chandler-npc.livejournal.com]

"I hope so."

Elaine smiles.

"Nice to meet you," Bela nods to Elaine, and then she takes Cal's arm.

"I'm starving. Let's go eat."

There's nothing like a meal after a successful job.

Cal smiles back at Elaine, warm and relaxed, then turns to Bela.

"Let's."

Milliways is waiting for them in the doorway.
