Summary: Caleb tries to escape for a few hours
Status: Complete

So yesterday morning they'd cracked hell back open. Just one of the rifts that they'd sealed the week prior had been parted, and they'd gone in. They had voluntarily stepped into hell. Himself, Mal and Jaime and a few others who'd wanted to aid. They'd followed Jaime's points, doing their best to avoid confrontations but dealing when they came up ... and eventually they'd found everyone.

Including people who hadn't yet seen Ipswich. Or been aware of it. He, Jaime, and Mal had led the army back out, carrying the wounded, helping the ones that could walk with support. There'd been a lot of screaming, and Caleb had had nightmares when he'd finally managed to get to sleep after three that morning.

But they'd resealed the cracks, hopefully trapping everything that belonged there down there, and hopefully with everyone else back on the surface. He felt like he'd aged a couple of years, and it wouldn't have surprised him to know that he had.

Needing a break, something that wasn't magic and catering to people dropping in, Caleb had retreated to Nicky's to lose himself in the noise, in the crowd, and the second glass of beer in front of him.

	“Any questions?” She asked, partly teasing with him as she looked into the guest room, nodding in approval since it looked relatively good enough to sleep. “Questions like what? How long I have to wait before I bug you some more?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He laughed quietly. "I don't know. If you get a craving for a midnight snack or something. Or where the flashlights are if the power goes out, or ... what that strange knocking sound is under the floor."

He paused. "It's the pipes," he offered with a grin. "Old house, old plumbing."

Peering into the room as well, he glanced back to her. "So, before I turn in, did you need anything?"

	“Ibuprofen and a massage?” She asked, only partly joking with him on those wants. “I don’t know. A girl like me has a lot of needs. Not something you should ask even if you are being polite.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He grinned. "There's some Advil in the medicine cabinet, and one of the displaced people gives really good massages. I could introduce you to her," he offered. "I'm not really any good at it," he continued.

He also had a feeling where it might lead, and he really wasn't inclined to entertain any possibilities at the moment. Not until things were calmer and he could pay proper attention to things.

	“If I don’t see you tomorrow I know the way out,” she said, stepping inside of the guest room before she turned to face him. “And if you can figure out where I’m staying then I wouldn’t mind if you stopped by. I could give you the tour.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded slightly to her, a little grin on his lips. "Goodnight," he said. "Pleasant dreams, and I'm sure I'll see you in the morning." Turning away, he started down the hall toward his own room. Sleep was good. He liked sleep. Hopefully, he'd be able to have some uninterrupted sleep tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent)
