Caritas, Friday Evening

After yesterday, Fjord had been wary about coming in to work today. Hell, just not going outside at all would've been his first choice, if he didn't have a commitment to see to today. And he wasn't calling out on account of talking cats, dammit. He outright refused.

So imagine the look on his face when he came in to Caritas to see that Tino had invited half the strays on the island in for some kind of open mic night with the zombies, on the grounds that at least now that they could speak, maybe it wouldn't just be caterwauling.

"... They stay over there by the stage and you're on zombie duty tonight," Fjord muttered, shooting Tino a look. "Either of those things changes, and you're all gettin' hauled out by the scruff."

"Even me?"

"Especially you, Tino."

Amaya came into the bar, as usual, her eyes drifting immediately to the shenanigans going on over on the stage, and then over to Fjord as she approached the bar itself, with an expression that didn't seem sure if it felt more impressed that he was even still there or just downright pitying that he was.

"Zounds, Fjord," she breathed out, "you just can't catch a break with these blasted cats this week, can you?"

"I hate this week and wanna go back to the place with the giant murder bugs," Fjord muttered, about two seconds away from just resting his face on the top of the bar and dying there. "Please, gimme back the fuckin' murder bugs."

Amaya hesitated for a moment, because, while she had been fully prepared to inform Fjord that she was giving him mental pat on the head instead of actually doing it, because that would be awkward, it just seemed a little more awkward to say it when said head was just right there on the bar in easy reach.

So she debated, and then reached out to give him three light, consoling, awkward pats on the head. "There, there," she offered, confirming what she knew all too well and that was that 'consoling' wasn't extactly on her list of skills. "Just think, if things go the way they have been, this'll all be over soon enough, anyway. You want....you want I should maybe call Zack, see if we can borrow a few puppies from the shelter to chase 'em out? I'd offer the Crumbler, but I don't think she'll fit through the doors. An' I'm sure we can sneak up to the school tomorrow and rig up some murder bugs in the Danger Shop, if you want?"

Yeah, sure, she knew the murder bugs weren't really the point, but she was a problem solver, a little brainstorming couldn't be helped.

"Wouldn't be fair to the puppies," Fjord sighed. "I think they'd end up in the pond."

... Not that most of the puppies would necessarily mind the pond.

"Have half a mind to say the bar's only for payin' customers tonight, but..." He waved vaguely at the cats as he straightened up again. "... They're already here."

Amaya followed that vague gesture toward the cats (they did seem to be having a pretty good time, really), but when she turned back to Fjord, she was frowning. "Fjord," she said, "go home. You're not doing anybody any good by sticking around here, sniffling and sneezing into everyone's drinks. I'm sure Tino can handle it all on his own, or, heck, I'll even stay and help out if it makes you feel any better. But there's no point in you being here if you're just going to miserable the whole time. I'm sure Kitty would understand."

"Uuuugh," Fjord grumbled, listing a little to one side, reaching up a hand to rub in frustration at one of his eyes. "I got this. I--"

He sneezed again.

"I don't got this."

Dammit.

"Fine. Fine, I'm goin' home. At the very least, there ain't no damn cats at home. But I'm not gonna enjoy it. Hidin' inside because the whole damn island is full of cats..."

Someday, Fjord would discover antihistamines.

Today was not that day.

"Yes," said Amaya, wryly, because she just couldn't help herself, "because this is such a fun, good time for you, instead..."

"... I ain't enjoyin' it," Fjord admitted, "but I haven't done fuck-all productive all week. And bein' cooped up, I can cope with. Ain't like there's a hell of a lot of room on a ship. But at least there's shit to do."

Boredom would be the death of him.

Probably via cats.
