Or I won't.

Don't be boring."

[ She shrugs, and it takes a moment or two before she realizes he can't actually see that, so she follows up with a noncommittal noise. Orderlies. Whatever. ]

So how many hoops do I gotta jump through? Cuz you're not opening 'til October but I really wanna rub it in Crane's face ASAP. He's gonna be soooo pissed. It's my favorite thing.

Jane Austen is of the Georgian era.

Just so you know.

[Not Victorian in other words. THIS IS IMPORTANT, OKAY.]

voice;

[itistolaugh]

Oh really? You would be the expert on Georgian.

[restingstitchface]

[Well, now that's just unacceptable.]

Indeed I am. Better an expert on most things than none.

[LIKE YOU.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh -- hmm. [Rubbing it in Crane's face. That expedited things, didn't it?] Consider yourself hired for a probational period -- the usual ninety days, typical procedure. I'm not too worried.

Welcome to the team.

Chocolate, coconut, or sprinkles?

[itistolaugh]

chocolate AND sprinkles

[ Followed by her new address. ]

[pushtheboundaries]

[Chocolate and sprinkles it is. He'll be there soon with the peace offering, knocking and/or ringing the doorbell if there is one.]

[itistolaugh]

[ She opens the door and immediately throws herself at him in a massive hug. Don't spill anything on the new carpet, jerk. ]

I'm so mad at you!

[pushtheboundaries]

[OOF. lucky you his coffee's half empty so it doesn't spill, and the donut is safe in its bag.

Callaghan only needs a moment to recover,though, soon wrapping his arms about her to return the hug]

I'm sorry?

[itistolaugh]

You just disappeared and it's been months and I hate you so much.

[ But apparently she doesn't hate him enough to let him go, or even loosen her grip, or not kiss his stupid old loser disappearing face. ]

[pushtheboundaries]

[Well it's...nice to know he was missed. Robert actually laughs, halfheartedly fighting the affection. He'd forgotten how...overwhelming Harley could be.]

Trust me, I'd rather stay here! Things are...pretty rough back home

[itistolaugh]

[ She relents enough to pull him inside and close the door, pushing him lightly toward the couch. ]

Then forget about it! Just stay here and watch bad TV and cuddle.

[ FOREVER. ]

[pushtheboundaries]

Please tell me you're not watching reality shows. [but he's letting himself be guided, taking a seat on the couch and setting Harleys donut in the table presumably in front of it.] Nice place, by the way.

[itistolaugh]

Not just reality shows. And so what if I was?

[ She ignores the donut for now in favor of sitting on his lap and curling around him. He's trapped now. ]

I missed you.

[pushtheboundaries]

Then I ask nicely if we can watch something else. Or if you can fill me in on what I...missed.

[well. Hi. He awkwardly adjusts her, clearly still needing to get used to things again but at least he knows better than to try and push her off]

I can tell. That much?

[itistolaugh]

There's always Space Princess.

[ She kisses his cheek again before settling her head against his shoulder and idly running her fingers through his hair. ]

Umm, there's going to be another ambassador election. And a bunch of regular people have powers now because of ... sssomething, I dunno. Breathing fire and super speed and that kinda stuff. I got a job at a hospital but it ain't opened yet.

[pushtheboundaries]

[Harley why...Robert sighs, uncomfortable but putting up with it for the moment. ]

Is that the reason for the move?
