It was Jenni's turn to laugh, though not before quietly stilling the cardboard destruction by covering his hands with one of hers. She hadn't meant to further agitate him, and getting on the bartender's bad side was a bad idea, too.

"No, I survived that. I haven't ever been killed, that I can recall." This was potentially an odd remark, at least in different company, but she said it with a straight face. "Anyway . . . the full explanation gets kinda meta, but in brief, I had a bit of an existential crisis in the Potterverse and realized I had better quit my wild ways and settle down before I really lost myself out there. HQ is easy to find if you're heading nowhere in particular, because that's where it exists, like veins running through the rock faces of space-time." She gestured with her free hand, indicating the vast complexity of the multiverse to which a geology metaphor really couldn't do justice, before her mind's eye returned to the here and now.

She laughed again. "See, what did I say? Sordid. But, I promise I'm stable. Working in FicPsych has definitely helped me get my head on straight, and I've got Henry now." She grew fond at the mention of her adopted son and turned the expression on Suicide. "You'll have to meet him eventually, if this goes on." Clearly, she hoped it would. The man had a sense of humor and nice eyes, and certainly depths to be explored.
