Room 308, Friday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

Jack was up half the night Thursday scrubbing pink dye out of his hair. After the fifth go at it with shampoo and a quick self-administered trim to a few scraggly bits that had absorbed more than their fair share of the dye, it was all but back to normal, with just a few blush-tinted strands around his ears.

This was, in his eyes, an essential first step.

After a call to Tony and a nap, he woke up and started to pack. Rationally, he knew he was not the first person to have something odd and embarrassing happen to him -- a love spell, or whatever it had been. He wasn't even the first person to waste time chasing after a straight guy. (And bless Mitchell and Kate for trying to talk sense into him, for all the good it had done.) But he still needed the brief escape of a respite with Sebastien to get him centered in his own head.

He packed quickly and neatly, door cracked open as usual so he could watch the motion in the hallway.

[OOC: Open if you need a Jack!]

Jack kissed her again, hand snaking up her back. "I will return with a much nicer disposition and loads of presents, I promise you."

A nicer disposition, from spending time with Tony and his vampire.

Emma was perfectly capable at playing nice with this particular situation, but considering what happened last time Jack and Tony were off-island together, she had (in her mind, at least) a right to be both wary and mildly disgruntled. Something was bound to go wrong.

"I'm going to hold you to that promise," she said instead, arching up against him and nipping lightly at his lower lip. "But you don't have to go right this moment, do you?"

Jack didn't think anything would go wrong. As for Tony, he didn't get to see Tony nearly enough, and a weekend with him would help to make up for that.

"You better," he said, curling into her. "And you need to pick a forfeit still. I won't forget that."

"I have a few hours before Tony's to join me."
