LOCKED - (demonverse)

[a_time_slip]

After that last time with Raum, I'm almost not surprised that he finally got rid of me.

I'm glad, gods, I'm more than grateful that...

I think I would have made a very bad mistake if it continued much longer. I hope this goes better.

ooc: Janie fails at locks, so this is open. Everything is always open in her journal.

*she thinks about that for a long moment*

No. Anywhere would be fine.

[lostinthefog]

Are you sure? I wouldn't mind leaving this place. We could go anywhere, far away too.

[a_time_slip]

I can't go too far away, Julian.

[lostinthefog]

Why not?

[a_time_slip]

I have things to do here, I'm sorry.

[lostinthefog]

It's alright, we'll stay here then. Nothing keeps us from traveling if we feel like it anyway.

[a_time_slip]

Yes, that's true.

You've got me as long as you want me, remember that Julian. You might not own me, but you have my heart.

[lostinthefog]

*This makes him speechless for a moment, and he stares at Janie, touched and grateful.*

... and you have mine. I'd never want to own you ... as this means much more.

[a_time_slip]

*she smiles, hoping that everything is smoothed out now*

Now that you have me, is there anything else you want?

[lostinthefog]

*He smiles, too*

No ... I just want us to have a great time together. Like other, normal people do.

[a_time_slip]

We will. We'll have the best times that two people could ever have.

[lostinthefog]

That sounds almost to good to be true. *He kisses Janie happily*

[a_time_slip]

*Janie kisses him back* Don't say anything like that. We should just enjoy any good things that happen.

[lostinthefog]

Yeah ... we should. Let's worry about the bad stuff when it happens. For now, I'm glad it's over.

[a_time_slip]

Let's have drinks... and dinner. Can we do that? I don't want to go anywhere, but I need a drink.

[lostinthefog]

Sure! That's a wonderful idea.

*Julian lets go of Janie rather reluctantly and walks over to the small table to put away his stuff.* What would you like for dinner?

[a_time_slip]

Fruit, thank you. I just need a little more energy for tonight. If I need it...

[lostinthefog]

*Julian summons bowl with all kinds of fruit, strawberries, melons, exotic kinds, probably more than they can eat. He stops when he realizes what Janie means, though*

... Not if you don't want.

[a_time_slip]

*Janie is already headed for the bowl. She's starving*

I want to, and I want to wake up in your arms, knowing that I'm happy and safe and that everything is okay.

[lostinthefog]

*Julian adds some bread and cheese, as well as several bottles of various alcoholic beverages, trying to arrange it all somewhat neatly.*

... alright. I hope I can ensure all of that.

[a_time_slip]

I know that you will.

[lostinthefog]

*He is less confident about this than Janie, but he smiles and sits down next to her, grabbing a handful of strawberries*

I'll try my best.

[a_time_slip]

You will, as long as you're here in the morning. And if, um. It doesn't seem to work out, just be here, with me. It'll all be okay.

*she pours a whiskey for herself and Julian, before quickly drinking her glass*

[lostinthefog]

I will be here, I promise. I won't leave you. Not tonight, or ever.

*Julian thankfully grabs his glass and drinks*

[a_time_slip]

Thank you. *she now seems to feel better about everything*
