[ she doesn't want to see anyone. talk to anyone. she doesn't want to hear it at all in any way that anyone is sorry, or might know how she feels.

the bar's closed, if anyone ends up going by. she's inside but chances are she's not opening it any time soon. ]

for anyone who might be waiting on them
sam winchester, castiel, daphne and charlie all went home
no idea when they'll be back but they're gone

roadhouse is closed
for a while

[ after a moment, she remembers something and adds in a second bit to the message. ]

anyone need a room?
I've got seven open rooms
can't pay for them on my own

maybe.
and maybe they'll remember everything.
I just have to wait and see I guess

Until then, just know that my offer's open if you ever want to take me up on it. And I can cover your shifts for a while, if you want, when you reopen the Roadhouse.

I might

and allison?
thanks.
really.

Of course. Anything I can do to help.

and I'll let you know if there is
for now just stay safe, okay?

I could say the same to you.

[ She kind of means for that to be teasing, though she's not sure if it'll come across like that. Nor is she sure if Jo even wants to talk about this. ]

[ But whether Jo wants to talk about it or not, Allison wants to make sure she knows and is here for her for that, too. ]

Isaac told me about what happened while I was grey. I'm so sorry, Jo. I should've been there.

you could

[ if she wanted to. but then she gets that second text and her stomach drops. ]

yeah, well
honestly
I'm glad you weren't.

[ but she can't leave it there, even if she wanted to. ]

I should have known what we were getting into, Allison
and I didn't
I should have been able to get us all out of there

it's fine
it's whatever
we all made it back at least

[ That sounds so much like something Allison would say that she's a little surprised. Though it also makes her smile because she really admires Jo and if Jo thinks the same way she does... ]

That doesn't change what happened. But I won't push you into talking about it, I just wanted you to know that I know. It didn't feel right just ignoring it.

no, but it'll sure as hell get me to think twice before trying something like that again
it's not that I don't want to talk about it
there's just nothing to talk about

is isaac okay?

Okay.

[ She'll still worry, though, because that's who she is. ]

Yeah, I think so. As okay as he can be. I think he's just glad to be back to himself, honestly.

yeah
we all are
but keep an eye on him, okay?

[ and don't ask why... ]

Of course.

[ She was planning on it anyway, so. She's planning on keeping an eye on Jo, too, if she can. ]

I thought you guys were friends, though?

[ jo wouldn't be in the position to complain, honestly. ]

we were
are?
I don't know.
it's complicated and I'm kind of pissed at him for being an idiot so

[ deflection ]

[ There are so many things she could say to that, things like "You probably would've done the same thing" even if she doesn't know every single detail and "He's not an idiot, he's a hero" but she kinda feels like he's an idiot, too, just because the idea of him dying breaks her heart - but she figures it's definitely not the right time. ]

Well, trust me, I'll be the first one to kick his ass if he decides to do something stupid again.

[ Or she'll be right there beside him. One of the two. ]

[ no, allison's right about just about all of that. isaac is the reason the few people who did get out, could. even if jo wasn't a part of that list.

but she can still be mad at him, in her irrational stubborn way. she did not need him doing what she did back home, did not need him having to live through that.

allison's response makes her smile a bit, even if she's all too aware of the fact if it does happen again, she'll be standing right there with the two of them. ]

good.
now all I have to do is worry about you

[ said only partially in jest. ]

[ Allison, of course, smiles a bit in return. ]

You don't have to, Jo. I can take care of myself.

oh, honey, believe me
I'm well aware you can take care of yourself
but you're kind of the only family I've got left
which, by default, means you get all of my attention

[ ahgjkahkga Jo, stop that, you're making her blush. ]

In that case, I guess I can let you worry about me, but only if you know it's a two-way street.

[ good it was her plan all along. ]

feel free to worry about me all you want
not that you need to.
I like to think of myself as an assgardian Pro at this point.

Worrying isn't really a "need to" sort of thing with either of us, I think. But it comes with being friends/caring about one another.

has anyone ever told you you're way too mature for your age?

[ only kind of a joke. ]

Once or twice, maybe.
