"Six months?" Jax said, stunned. He'd just seen her a few seconds ago, "And this place is that sential that it can hold you here if it wants to?" Jax asked, making sure he understood, "And if there's a door I can go back anytime?" Now that Sonya was safe, he wasn't all that sure he was going back at all.

[lt_blade]

She nodded. "There are rooms above here for lodging, but it's not free. Patrons can either pay up or put on a tab, and for children or those Bound, there's a fund used from tips and donations so they don't have to worry. First drink's always free though, just wonder what you'd like."

Sonya ordered a cup of tea from bar, a mug appearing on the coffee table in front of her. Picking it up, she frowned when the taste revealed herbal instead of black.

"I have a job working in the stables, so that goes to room and board for me."

"I wouldn't mind a beer and a cheeseburger. Things will be crazy again when I walk though that door. Never believed in any of this supernatural bullshit until now." Jax said, shaking his head, "So why are you bound here?" He asked, almost afraid of the answer.

[lt_blade]

She smiled when a glass of beer appeared on the table. "Miss Bar, cheeseburger for my CO, can put it on my tab."

A burger and fries appeared on the table along with a napkin reading 'make sure to share the fries'.

"Extended leave of health?" That seemed to make the most sense as any. "There's never a reason given, just at some point you see your door, then it's gone and you don't know when she decides to let you go. The 'leave of health' is the only reason I can think of."

She wasn't exactly in the best of shape when arriving after all.

[metallicmajor]

Jax nodded, before hugging her again.

"Then I'm glad it did." He said, breathing a sigh of relief. After the shape she was in, Jax was grateful for the respite for her, "Hopefully when you come back, you'll be ready to kick ass, and I can return the burger at Charlies." Jax said, with a smile, as he munched a fry, motioning to Sonya to do the same. Far be it for Jackson Briggs not to follow orders, especially when they bring beer.

[lt_blade]

She took a few fries, eating them mostly for his benefit.

"When I return, it'll just be in the same condition as when I first got here." Which, was to say 'like crap'. "I think it's more mental than physical.."

She cut herself off, not sure she could even explain what happened to her commanding officer-not even to him. That he saw her in such a state was bad enough, she couldn't bring herself to tell him of the mental and emotional scars.

[metallicmajor]

Jax could only nod. He could imagine the mental state, and maybe that's the kind of vacation she needed.

"So this is like an extended stay hotel with great food and a magical barmaid." He said, trying to lighten the mood. He knew the Lieutenant was tough. He had no doubt if they survived this tournament she would be fine. But still, he couldn't help but be grateful she was getting a break from that hell, even for a short while.

"That's one way of putting it, if at this hotel you have to sort of earn your keep as well." She motioned to one of the doors in the back. "Stables are behind there, I started working in them some time ago before I was Bound-just something to earn a little cash."

And because horses were easier to deal with than people. "Most people just take a Happy Hour shift, the time of day when Bar takes a nap, want any food or service it's best to ask the barkeep or one of the waitrats."
