[ Ariadne is sitting on the couch, an orange kitten curled up on her lap. Behind her is a man, who seems to be holding a cup of coffee and looking out the window. ]

Well. [ She pauses, rubbing the back of her neck. ] My father's here, but if anyone else would like to say hello or needs anything, I'm still available. He said he'll be going out for a walk in a little bit anyway.

[ As if on cue, the man pulls away from the window and heads for the kitchen. Ariadne watches him go, some of the tension gone when she looks back at the camera. ]

I'm Ariadne. Welcome to the City.

((ooc: Open for fourth walling! Please no telling her she's from a movie. Other than that, go wild~))

[ Wait just a bit longer.


Juuuust a bit.

Okay. Okay, we're okay. He stops with an airy sigh. ]

Erm, that's - no. No, there's just no saving it now, is there?

[ Back to the laughing. ]

[boutant]

Should I take that as a yes? I'm hurt, you know.

[feorge]

[ He wipes a false tear from his eyes. ]

I hardly think we'd've kept you around this long if the mere sight of you made us ill. We're not quite that masochistic.

[boutant]

You never know.

[ Actually, it's far more likely she's the masochistic one, the way things have gone lately... ]

[feorge]

Oh, Merlin, do not continue that train of thought.

[ Hello, does not want to picture his brother and his lady friend with kinky things - but he's still chuckling a bit. ]

[boutant]

[ Innocent brown eyes. ]

I thought you wanted to learn my tricks and secrets.

[feorge]

Not your secrets of the bedroom, love. Might I remind you you're shagging my twin?

[ HAET YOOOU ]

[boutant]

Trust me, I'm aware. My boss asked if we had a threesome.

[ JUST GONNA CASUALLY PUT THAT OUT THERE. She got her flail over it out already. ]

[feorge]

Fred opens his mouth to say something - shuts it - then hangs his head in his hands. WHYYYYYY ]

[boutant]

[ You wanted to find out secrets, Fred. She'll share. They just won't be the ones you want to know. ]

[feorge]

[ Not lifting his head, not looking at you, there is no red spreading to his ears. ]

And your boss is now properly sans bollocks, right?

[boutant]

[ Sure there's not. ]

Actually, Percy's working for him now, too.

[feorge]

What in Merlin's name is my brother doing working for a perve like that?

[boutant]

It's Tony Stark.

[ Like this explains everything. ]

[feorge]

Bless you.

[ She sneezed, right? 'cos that means nothing to him. ]

[boutant]

City Solutions Tony Stark? You guys did the fireworks for his gala.

[feorge]

I make explosions for fun. Do you honestly expect me to remember every bloke I make 'em for?

[boutant]

Considering how big the party was? Yeah, it might be a good idea.

[feorge]

Damn. Well, reckon I'll just have to find the pervy old sod at some point.

[boutant]

I'm sure you'll see him around.

[feorge]

He's not going to ask after my sex life, is he?

[boutant]

Probably not.

[feorge]

Then I look forward to the day.

[ So he can hex him six ways to Sunday. ]

[boutant]

Please don't do anything irreversible to my boss.

[feorge]

I do so solemnly swear not to do anything that can't be reversed with a simple counterspell or that won't fade with in a week or seven.
