Mary was at the lounge this evening, though after the events of the past week she was feeling subdued. Sleeping with Lucifer had been simultaneously good and bad. It had felt wonderful, to be sure, but now she wondered if it really had been the best idea. Things were slightly uncomfortable between them. It seemed like he didn't wish to speak of it at all and would rather just go on like nothing had happened. Maybe he could. Mary had never had casual sex before.
And then there was the captain - Jim, now, officially. For some reason he was proving wrong everything she had heard about him. Far less than a womanizer, he seemed incredibly polite and gentlemanly towards her. Lucifer's opposite, really. Mary hadn't even seen him be flirtatious with other women, though of course she was not around him all the time to watch. Part of her wished that he would come on more strongly.
Mary cursed under her breath about the fact that her life had suddenly become consumed with troubles with men. She did not like that. She needed to keep herself busy with work.
The advice she had gotten from Peggy and Kate was solid, both of them being women of a more modern world than she was. Still, she was rather quiet that evening in the lounge. She sat at one end of the bar nursing a gin and tonic, her first liquor drink since getting drunk a few weeks back. Mary had no plans on getting wasted that night, but she wanted something a bit stronger than wine. She wasn't necessarily being anti-social though, and would talk to anyone who chose to sit down next to her.
