Hug!!!

And someone knocks on the door.

Un-hug.

Door?

"Did somebody order a six-inch sausage pizza?"

Jinx stifles a laugh. 

"Really, Audrey?"

"Hey, when else was I going to get the chance to use that setup? I'm buying the pizza, so I get to use it as a setup for my crappy jokes, capice?"

"Yeah, sure. Now would you please get in here and put it on the table, we're starving." 

"Your wish is my command." 

And then there is pizza - quite a bit of pizza, actually. Three boxes' worth.

Pizza!!! Pizza is still an excitingly novel food.

Audrey seems surprised by Ruava's enthusiasm over the pizza, but doesn't comment. Perhaps because she's too busy shoving pizza into her own face.

"Mmm, nom, been a long day for you too, Tabs?"

Audrey swallows the last bite of her first slice, and gestures with the left over bit of crust. 

"Eh, yeah, you know how it is. Never enough staff and the clients always surprise you. Let's not get into it, I need to relax." 

She looks over at Ruava. "So, how did you two meet?"

"Oh, I fell out of thin air and almost landed on her."

"Literally true, yep. While I was somewhere I wasn't supposed to be, doing something I wasn't supposed to do."

"Alright, I wanna say that you two are bullshitting me, but that flow was just too smooth." 

She frowns. 

"... And I have the weirdest feeling that I've seen Ruava somewhere before. Keep going, this sounds like it's the kind of story that's worth telling."

"When I fell out of the air I was also basically unconscious so she had to carry me to one of her bolt-holes and wait for me to sit up and start talking, and we didn't have any languages in common so she had to run off and get a translation charm, and then she offered to let me stay at her apartment for a while because why not I guess, and she has the most amazingly cozy blankets, it's spectacular."

Audrey grins. "I didn't know you still had those, Jinx. They're still holding up?"

"Still just as snuggly as ever, though I've got more of 'em now. Thanks again, by the way."

"So anyway, Ruava - you're from really far away, then?"

"She didn't even know about the League."

"Wow, that is far. What was the place you're from like?"

Jinx makes a little cutting motion with one hand. 

"Come on, Tabs. You know better than that."

"... Sorry, yeah, that just slipped out."

"There's a really pretty lake," she says, "I can show you the really pretty lake, there's nothing horrible about the really pretty lake."

"I'd like to see the really pretty lake."
