After something of a lull in bookings in September, October was shaping up to be a busy month for Myrtle House B&B, particularly the latter half of the month as people looked to enjoy all the spooky, seasonal delights of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. It was immensely satisfying to see so many reservations on her books and Paloma wasn't worried about the cancellation that had been made just before Christmas; she was confident that something new would come along soon to fill that gap.

Living and working in the same house meant that Paloma was determined to take time for herself. That meant going to the gym or spending time with friends. Or, as it happened, making new friends at the gym.

"I feel like my legs are going to hate me tomorrow," Paloma said, holding open the door of the gym for Ruby. "So I need to apologize to them with cake." She grinned, knowing that sort of defeated the purpose of working out. "How does Cool Beans sound?" It was only a short walk down the street it was usually her coffee shop of choice.

They smiled when she resolved to try it. “Find me there if you do, yeah? There first time’s always the toughest, and it helps to know your sparring partner.” Since they came to the little town they’d found it increasingly difficult to keep their mind sharp and overall engaged outside of their job and the gym.

‘Depends on what you’re into’. They hadn’t answered that question for themselves yet. Knowing their need to help people they were thankful that Qaspiel, or Gaspard as he called himself now, was willing to give them a job in his offices though they thought they’d be out more in the public then they were. Something tugged at their heart thinking of Malachi. Sitting idly by wasn’t a proper response he’d told her and every time they felt they weren’t doing enough they remembered that.

“Singing I can get behind. What nights do they put it on?” A toothy grin crossing their face. What they would sing she didn’t know, but it sounded far better than a haunted hayride or a traipse through a corn maze they were liable to get lost in.

"Sure!" It would be good to see a familiar face if she went to a class, Paloma thought, especially someone she was sure wouldn't laugh at her if she messed up. As far as her godly heritage went, Paloma didn't have any advantages as far as sports and combat, so she would definitely be a beginner.

She had to think for a moment, making she she didn't get her days mixed up. "Karaoke is Tuesday and Thursday, open mic is Friday and Saturday." Paloma had enjoyed her last night out, even if she hadn't stayed particularly late. In hindsight, there might have been some divine nudging going on to get her to meet Ram. "Some of the regulars get really serious about the karaoke and suggest theme nights."

"It sounds like a fun night." They offered. The idea hadn't been a new one, but now was not the time for them to go through the long story of how they came be here. It was long and complicated and they still found themselves missing Malachi in the small hours of the mornings. They didn't know if they would sing, but a night surrounding by the community sounded like something they would enjoy.

"Let me know if you're going to be there. I'm not sure if I'll make it, but if I do then I'd like to know there's a friendly face there."
