Ahh but then I would no longer be the mysterious charming bloke that you know and love. Youll find out all my bad habits and secrets. I doubt I would ever see you again. But I might be able to risk it. The doors always open, luv,

Grinning widely, Jacquie just shook her head. "I doubt you have any habit so bad that it would make me run away Orion. And besides, you more than make up for any bad habits you may have. You moved in with this git didn't you." She stuck her head out the kitchen door to glare at Damocles again, who just waved his hand a little. She really was worried about her friend. She knew that if he kept going like this, he was going to burn out, and as selfish as she felt saying it, she didn't have the time to constantly keep an eye on him. And neither did Orion. She might have to stay on the boys couch so she could have words with him in the morning, when the blonde was coherent.

She had been thinking about moving in with Damocles. And seeing him like this only made her maternal urges stronger. But she had made plans with Rachel long, long ago. And they were good plans. Jacquie loved her new apartment, and she knew that she needed her own space, or she and Dam would drive each other beyond the brink of sanity.

That rather goes without saying. Its like asking if the pope is catholic. Thank you, sweetheart,

She shook her head again as she saw the lack of clean dishes. "You two really are hopeless. If I wasn't here all the time, you would have no food and no clean dishes, I am sure of it." She took her wand out, pointing it at the sink and setting the dishes about washing themselves. Normally she would have done it by hand, but she wanted to keep an eye on Dam, and she was enjoying talking to Orion. She was going to miss him when school went back. And as much as she may complain about dishes, or laundry, or shopping, she really loved doing it.

If this porriage is any evidence of your culinary skills then Im more then willing to take you up on your offer. But you know what they say about strays, if you feed them they just keep coming back,

"As long as you stay the night occassionally Orion, I will feed you as often as you like. And you are not a stray. You have a home. A perfectly nice one at that. With a nice young girl who comes and cooks and cleans for you." She liked flirting with Orion. And if he really did stay the night occassionally, all the better. Orion was one of the few people she had slept with more than once, and she wouldn't mind doing it over, and over and over. And besides, she had such a big bed, why let it go to waste?

Feeding the hungry and giving comfort to the weary, aiming for sainthood, luv?

Walking back into the kitchen, Jacquie just smirked and raised an eyebrow at him. "You know better than just about anyone that I am no saint Madison. Unless you need to me to show you just how much of a sinner I am. Although we should probably wait till Dam is in bed. Last thing he needs to see in his kitchen is me showing you jsut how much of a naughty girl I am." Yes, it seemed that Jacquie had become rather shameless in her flirting. But this was Orion, and he was special. Maybe she wouldn't be sleeping on the couch after all.

Looks like its just you and me, kid,

Jacquie, being probably one of the most muggle-inclined people she knew, recognised the reference all too well. She was just about to say something when Damocles ambled into the kitchen, his dish joining those on the sink before he kissed Jacquie on the cheek and gave Orion a little wave. "Bed now. See you in the morning. Will you be here in the morning?" He was looking at his best friend, who merely nodded at him. Shaking his head, he walked off to his room, leaving the two alone in the kitchen.

How is your training going?

Jacquie, whose eyes and attention had followed Damocles out the door, brought herself back to where Orion was talking to her. She sighed, looking at her hands and then back up at him. "Ransom is a hard task master. Worse than Elphais. But its good. He is good. Really, really good. I've learnt so much. But if this is the way training is going to be after the summer, I am starting to think that I am going to end up doing a pretty good Dam impression."
