[ooc: apologies as several of my pups seem a bit down tonight, poor things]
Jason was off tonight. Not because he had plans but because he had to give some shifts to the other guys. So he'd put on jeans and a tshirt and headed for the Lamb for a drink. He and Kara had gotten to talking - about relationships and how you didn't always get what you wanted.
Now he sat in the garden at the Manor, smoking a cigarette and sipping on a beer and feeling rather - alone. For the best though. The Manor needed him... Jason sighed. The Manor was a fickle mistress. And not one you could hold at night. Sadly, most didn't understand his devotion to his job. Except Elspeth. But - well she wasn't interested in him like that. He wished she was.
Jason took a sip of his beer and then a long drag of his cigarette and leaned his head back on the bench, blowing the smoke up into the air.

Kara was unusually quiet in the Lamb once Jason left. Their talk had made her think about Niles - how much she was starting to feel for him and how, she was pretty sure, he didn't feel the same. As much as he seemed to like being with her - well one only need listen to the maids at the Manor to know he enjoyed spending time with several others.
She missed Brian. Sweet, kind, goofy Brian who had seemed to adore her. But he was gone. And Niles would probably head for the hills if he knew how she felt. Sighing she rubbed the bar down until is shown.
"Well at least I have you," she said to the old wood and moved to serve the next customer.

Zack was in the ballroom, sitting on the stage, guitar plugged into an amp but the volume turned down low as he worked on a song for Arcane. Baggy jeans, t-shirt, hoodie - he looked small in his clothes and had Seth seen him he would have been worried.
He pushed his hair from his face and took the pencil from his mouth, jotted something on the paper laying next to him then stuck it back in his mouth and went back to playing.
