Figuring he should at least attempt to not look like a high functioning alcoholic given how frequent his trips to the bar in Block one had become Manny had decided to swing by the RV, pick up his tarot cards, and eat something. Food did wonders for lining your stomach and ceasing its complaints after one too many glasses of whiskey or whatever alcohol happened to be the strongest available. Who would have thought it? He'd obtained a booth, looked at the menu, and promptly ordered the blackest coffee to ever coffee as sleep wasn't really an option for him. Too many dreams, nightmares to be exact, and it was always worst when he slept alone which ever since he'd trusted the wrong woman had definitely become a thing in his life. Ghosts of past lovers and many regrets didn't count and they made the worst kind of bed fellow. Manny shrugged out of his well worn and clearly well loved leather jacket and rested it on the seat beside him before ringed fingers delved into the box containing the cards, deft fingertips sorting through them with all the ease of a well seasoned gambler. He was that and a great many other things, needed to be when you made your living dollar to dollar and con to con. Midnight had changed all of that, given Manny a sense of belonging, but now he was somewhere new and reverting to type seemed appropriate. Can't beat them join them or whatever the fuck that saying was. He inhaled, exhaled, clasped the cards in his hands and firmly thought about intent and the question lingering at the back of his mind. Maybe just maybe the cards might give him an indication of which way this thing was headed and whether or not he needed to get the hell out by whatever means were available. Easier said than done it would seem but stubborn ran in the Bernardo family. It was why they'd survived as long as they had after all. |
