you haven't been doing just fine
Who: Crystal, Desi and Reggie
Where: Camelot Place
When: Early evening
"The last time something like this happened," Crystal began when she saw Desi coming up the walk to the apartments. She'd been leaning against the wall while she waited, a cigarette dangling from her gloved fingers. She took the last drag and snuffed it out before putting it in the small garbage can. She couldn't understand why Reggie kept living here, but she gave them props for having a garbage can around to cut down on litter. "I had to come back from New York and help Reggie with the girls. Lived with them for quite awhile until he figured out how to pull himself back together. When Morgan left... I don't think you were around then or I'd have remembered seeing the grown-up you, but yeah. Keelin was the first woman he's dated since then and she does this." Honestly, Crystal couldn't fault her for maybe freaking out if things had happened that never had before thanks to that spell, but it could've been handled better. Running out on Reggie wasn't the answer. Proceeding to leave the country like Sarah had said had happened wasn't either. The sad thing was that Crystal had liked Keelin, she'd thought she'd be good for Reggie. A nice witch to settle down with and maybe have another kid, a little boy she she had a nephew to go with her nieces.
Oh well. She couldn't do anything to change it but she could stop her brother from wallowing, and she had a helper this time!
Crystal held the door open for Desi and motioned her ahead, keys in hand. "We are not going to let what happened last time happen this one. Totally the big sister's job to make sure the younger ones aren't drowning their misery, right?" Desi had little sisters, she'd understand how Crystal felt about this. "Sarah texted me saying that he only comes out of his room to go to the bathroom. Very few people can do miserable like an earth elemental who puts their mind to it, so... just be ready." The spare key to Reggie's apartment opened the door and when she stepped in, Crystal honestly wasn't surprised to see Bess asleep on the couch with Tigger on top of her. 'She needed the company. I'd come say hello, but I'm comfy.'
"That's alright Tigger. You know Desi."
'Yes; Pretty said that you think she's gorgeous.' Crystal didn't even blink. It was true, so why be bothered? 'Are you going to get him out of there?'
"That's the idea." Crystal sighed and looked over at Desi. "You ready for this?"
