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.

"I'd do it the other way around," Jack offered, with his own wince. "You don't want to make him wait to hear you aren't really in love with Sam."

"Good point," Dinah said, sighing and fiddling with the bag. "I just... I mean, I don't expect him to get over it immediately? 'Cause even if I was crazy, it's still-- weird. I'd be way upset if he kissed another girl."

"Well, but you weren't really you," Jack said, digressing a bit. "It was - a spell? A gremlin? That woman who took it off us didn't bother to explain. He ought not blame you."

"Aphrodite was kind of in a hurry, but yeah. A gremlin and a love potion and an accident someone had." Dinah wondered who that was, and hoped they were okay... but was kinda glad she didn't know who. "And, maybe you're right. Claudia didn't blame Priestly when we kissed during that hormone week last summer. Or me, really. Although she was pretty clear she didn't want it to happen again." Maybe Jak would be okay with it, after a day or two? Or a week? Sooner would be awesome, though.

"A gremlin, an accident and a love potion," Jack repeated. "Right. You know more than I do." He was still irritated by his lack of knowledge.

"I suppose all you can do is talk to him and see what he says."

"Which isn't much," Dinah admitted ruefully. "And... yeah. I should do that before the ice cream melts too much." She shook her head. "Wish me luck. And I hope you have a nice, quiet weekend in Baltimore recovering."
