Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ruby walked into the medical room, after getting back from the night club, "I couldn't find any decent cookies an cream, but I got the next best thing, or in my mind I'd say better. They never give you enough cookies in the damned stuff anyway." She smiled, pulling out a grocery bag holding a package of Oreos and some vanilla bean ice cream, and a can of whip cream. She put the bag on the counter next to Hattie's bed, but the quickly grabbed the whip cream out of the bag. "Oops, that one ain't for you guys...."

Ruby smiled, and decided it was safe to confide in Hattie, "Well, tell you honestly we were never actually apart. It was more for protection than anythin'."

Ruby popped off the cap of the whip cream and put a bit of it on her finger, then licked it off. "But it's been startin' to feel all too real. In my little tantrum earlier I believe I may have gone an' hurt his feelin's some. True that was prob'ly what I had intended. I get angry like that, an I lash out like an injured bear, but I always regret it when I see him hurt. Can't help it. I'd sooner be able to pass by an injured kitten on the side of the road, then see my sugar bleedin' an' not try an comfort him."

Ruby paused and put a dab of whip cream on the tip of Hattie's nose. "Now it don't always work like that, considerin' my angel can be right down stubborn when he's been offended. An' if that's the case I'll grab some fresh strawberries an' use the whip cream the old fashioned way, for myself. An' maybe hit up Bobby for a good black an' white film, or a horror movie. Of course if I do that, I might be givin' you a call, that is if you ain't already doin' somethin' kinky yourself." She chuckled and gave a wink in Eric's direction. "I'm figurin' it'd be safer for Bobby if I ain't alone with him, especially if he's under the mind that I'm unattached."

Ruby smiled, "aye, an' it ain't been workin' nearly as well as I had hoped, 'specially for all the trouble it's been. If it would work on anyone, it'd only work on the folks that don't know us well. I'm doubtin Ora at the AoS was even phased by the news, bein' my sugar's god-daughter an' all, she would've known it for what it was immediately."

Ruby let out a soft sigh and grabbed one of the cookies herself. "Very irrational, it's true. An' I'm thinkin' it may be 'round time to take back that fake N' brake, if he's willin' that is." She shrugged, "sometimes I feel like we're strangers all over again."

She gave a quick smile, "an' it's a good thing you didn't brake shorty's heart like that."

Ruby laughed, and gave the obligated response, "It's a bus, an' sayin' anythin' other would be akin to callin' the man impotent. I swear he babies that thing more'n he does me...course the bus don't ever turn on him." She grabbed another cookie. "But your suggestion ain't all that bad of one, ain't all that bad at all."

Ruby let out a dramatic gasp, "A public location? Why I never...." She trailed off into a chuckle, enjoying her own joke. "An' sug, I don't have a cat, at least I don't think I do....an if I do, then I've definitely forgotten to feed it. But no worries, your shop will be safe...I don't get turned on by the sight of a wrench, unlike some folks I know."
