Status: Complete

Jenny stood in the doorway to the green room, leaning against the doorframe with her cheek against the jamb. She played idly with her hair, twirling one long dark tendril around her finger over and over again. Her expression was a bit dreamy but she was really thinking, struggling to decide. She'd been here a few days now and it was time for a shower or cleanliness of some sort. She'd heard that there had been a few things in the gas station but considering the snow was nearing the second story windows, she wasn't going out there by herself to fetch anything. That left asking someone to go with her and she wasn't sure about the other girls. She did not want to come across as being too helpless when she clearly was not. Still, Shannon's words flashed in her mind that this place was dangerous - and was it! - and she needed someone to protect her.

Watching the kid in the green room, her eyes followed the movement of his arms with each annoying slap of the ball he'd found against the wall or floor or the palm of his hand. Sid. She was actually contemplating asking this kid who was probably 10 years younger than her, even if he did hold the promise of some muscle beneath the layers, to help her go and get shower supplies. And then perhaps even accompany her to the shower so she wouldn't have to go alone. Why the fuck were there no other men in this theater when she needed them? Where had Logan gone after the failed rescue attempt when she'd ended up naked on stage with Leo? Where the fuck was Leo, for that matter?

Sid. She was stuck with Sid. And he was nice enough but she wasn't quite sure yet. Wasn't sure if it was even necessary for a shower now that she thought about it. She began to turn away and her dress caught on the bristled edge of the splintered doorframe. The small tear caused her to cuss. "Fucking fuck!" she hollered and glanced up quickly in a vain attempt to be sure he hadn't heard her. Of course he had, she'd been loud enough to wake the dead. The slapping of the ball had stopped and Jenny grimaced, trying to turn it into a sweet smile. "Sorry, um, my dress. I - would you come with me to the gas station?" she blurted out before she could stop herself.

Okay so maybe Sid wasn't exactly what Shannon had been talking about when she'd told Jenny there were a lot of big men here in Vas Captio who could protect and take care of her. So maybe Sid was a lot younger and reluctant and really really British. He hadn't given up on her. He was helping and she was very grateful. All thoughts of manipulating him had left her mind as he rose to the task and slid his arm around her shoulder to help her down the snow.

And since she was being honest and admitting things like the fact he'd been right to try to stop her, she decided to come clean with Sid. She hoped that even though they were already at least a quarter of the way down the tundra that was the side of the theater, he wouldn't drop her right there and then and hike back up into the building. She was so fucking restless and this was a lot more fun than she'd had in a very long time. Even if he was 10 years younger, he was interesting. Yes, at the very least he was interesting. Another male with an accent and a kind of chivalry. She had to admit she was fortunate.

"Sid, please try to find it within yourself, dig deep. I don't really need feminine products. I, well, ah. I need to take a shower. Get clean, you know?" she said softly, her face close to his ear, still trying to block out the snow and keep warm. She fought the desire to nuzzle her nose under his ear to see if he would forgive her purely for that but she was too cold and her nose was numb now. Worthless.
