Sleepless nights

[Denise]

Morgan walked to a table in the corner of the room.  She yawned dropping the stack of patient files on the table and sat down. She rested her head in her hand and started separating the files.

Crazy, crazy, fixable, faking...

Guy walks through the door to the kitchen into the back room. Holding two mugs and a thermos he heads over to the corner table, setting down the mugs and pours some coffee into each mug.

"You'll have to forgive me, we ran out of cream a minute ago, so all I can offer is sugar..."

He sits across the table from her, making sure not to bother the files.

"... Is that work?"

[Denise]

"Sure is. Sadly I have yet to figure out how to make money grow on trees. I think I am getting close though... Plus time away from garou is nice."

Morgan set the files aside and smiled.

"I guess what I do for work never came up..."

Guy moves one of the coffee cups closer to Morgan and gives her a smile.

"Well I didn't ask about your work, so that's on me. I'm sorry we're a bit of a tough lot to deal with. I try to keep that kind of stuff to a minimum here. We need breaks from ourselves on occasion too."

He takes a sip of coffee and looks around the back room of the bar. The smile fades from his face.

"Sometimes I just want to drop everything and stay here. It's like a piece of home for me. Reminds me of my Ma's place back in the Old Country."

Turning to look back at Morgan he smiles again.

"Sorry, I rambled again. Y'know, I think I haven't asked about your family... would that be ok? You've hinted at a harsh past, but I am still interested, if you are open to share..."

[Denise]

"I like it when you ramble. It calms me... kind of."

Morgan takes the coffee in hand and stares at it.

"I'm willing to share if you are. I don't even really know where to start or what would interest you; but if you ask I'll gladly spew my entire history.I was a pretty happy kid aside from not going to school like everyone else. I learned about the things I could do at ten. Which try raising a kid who knows everything you think."

Morgan leaned back in the chair and sipped the coffee.

"My father was killed when I was thirteen and I just kind of lost it. Maybe it'd have been okay if he died fighting the wyrm, but to a Silver fang with too much ego..."

[Deleted]

"Ah, well, that probably contributes a lot to your dislike of Tak's and my recent blow up, huh? Ego drives us crazy sometimes, even me at times..."

He stares into his cup for a moment before lifting it to take a drink, then looks back at Morgan.

"I don't plan on dying for something as silly as Ego though. Plans may not always work out, but I'm going to make my time with Gaia count for something. So what about siblings? Any brothers or sisters?"

[Denise]

"The thing that bothers me the most is that I got in the middle of it. Which is my own fault. No biological siblings. Visili is pretty close though, at least I feel like he is."

Morgan shrugged. "What about your family? What about your dad?"

[Deleted]

"Pa is a Theurge. So traditional he makes me look like a liberal patsy. Best damn spirit talker I've ever known. Ma is a beauty and the reason I'm generally accepting of others, Kinfolk. I've one sister, and she's the spitting image of my Ma, with a bit of pride from me Pa. She's the favorite."

Guy chuckles quietly and rubs his eye.

"They're all back in the Old World. Pa is running around doing work for the Nation, and Ma and sis are keeping the family tavern open. So that my family..."

[Denise]

Morgan snickered. "Thinking of you as liberal is odd... what would he think if you brought home shadow lord kin? Not that I'm saying you'll ever bring me to see them... I'm just saying... I'm not some sweet well behaved Fianna kinfolk you met while over here."

Morgan shook her head. "In fact I'm probably the opposite."

[Deleted]

Guy blinks for a second while he thinks

"You know... I never really found out my Pa's opinion on Shadow Lords. He never really gave me an opinion on any of the other Tribes for that matter. Pa was a Black Fury kinfolk before his first change.... So maybe he just doesn't care about those kinds of lines, being tossed from one to the other himself...."

He grins for a moment

"I bet Ma would be just thrilled to find out I'm even remotely involved with anyone. Especially a kinfolk. What about your mother? She interested in meeting a Fianna Theurge with faerie problems?"

[Denise]

"Well you're male, garou and homid born. So I think she'd be thrilled with you. Not the ideal but still pretty darn close. It's likely she wont be crazy about your tribe and will try to talk you into renouncing and becoming a shadow lord. I don't think you're ever going to go for that one. She'd be mighty interested in how you got me to see you without you losing a limb though."

Morgan smiled and looked around.

"I'm not keeping you from work am I? Cause I don't want to cause more trouble for you..."

[Deleted]

"Yeah, Shadow Lords are a little harsh for me. As for my limbs... I'd say I've been keeping a good eye on them."

He stands up and looks around the room.

"I suppose I should get back to work. Have to keep the place clean and make sure none of the 'normal' guests get too rowdy. I'll be up front with Maeve if you need me. I'll swing by with more coffee every now and then too."

Guy winks at Morgan as he picks up his mug and walks out into the front of the bar, closing the door behind him.
