Outsider's Island

[caleb-z.livejournal.com]

For the first time in months, Caleb feels good about both himself, and even finds himself without a pet project. The cure for Amelia is no longer in his hands, and the last he heard from Ibn, there was hope on that front. Phillip, Crystal, and Louis are back in prison, with Louis undoubtedly noticing all the extra attention the other inmates have taken to paying him.

Caleb snickers knowingly at this ‘unforeseen’ development. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it, he privately muses.

It’s taken them years, but the only outstanding threat to Corrine is the Enchantress, and the last Caleb heard, the JSA was still chasing her down. In other words, the matter is in good hands. All of which is well, but Caleb’s life has been work, work, work for months now, and he’ll be damned if he isn’t going to enjoy a hard earned respite. In days gone by this might have been an omen for mischief, but just now, with the breeze swaying his hammock and a bowl of fresh fruit nearby to nibble on, with Mozart on his mp3 player and the BBC on his laptop, mischief is the farthest thing from his mind. In a few hours Mara will be available, and they already have reservations at a nice little riverfront restaurant in Vienna. In the mean time, he is resolved to do nothing that is in any way productive.
