--like this?

[ Hello, City. Instead of more people discovering sand in things, this accidental broadcast seems to be showing two familiar ladies doing... something outside. Natasha is pressed up against Ariadne's back, one hand on the shorter woman's hip as she slides her back slightly, adjusting the way she's standing. ]

This gives us a better angle.

[ Natasha's other hand is on Ariadne's arm, and now she's shifting that, too. ]

Eyes forward.

[ There's a quiet noise of assent from Ariadne, and then Natasha shifts, tucking some hair behind Ariadne's ear. Lips close in, moving as the redhead says something. It's probably a wonderful sight for some of the City's residents...

...and then something shiny and sharp flies out of Ariadne's hand, embedding itself in one of the targets and making some sand trickle off the top upon impact. ]

I did it!

[ And that, City, is how to use throwing knives. ]

((ooc: regular black is Ariadne, bold is Natasha, and we make no apologies.))

Learning new tricks of the trade, are we?

[boutant]

I thought it sounded interesting.

[signatures]

Your girl friend's an interesting woman.

[boutant]

You do just mean "friend who is a girl", right? Because I have a coworker telling me we have sexual tension right now and that's awkward enough.

[signatures]

I do. I got the impression you were with George.

[boutant]

That's because I am.

She is interesting, though.

[signatures]

I suppose it's a good skill to have, anyway. Being interesting.

[boutant]

[ Natasha won't tell her what her job is, but she'll teach her how to use throwing knives. Definitely interesting. ]

Besides, free throwing knife lessons.

[signatures]

Are you sure they're free?

[boutant]

Meaning...?

[signatures]

Meaning she'll not try to extract some sort of favour from you later?

[boutant]

Pretty sure it's free, yeah. And really, I'd only mind if the favor was something ridiculous.

[signatures]

Of course.

[boutant]

Don't worry about it, Eames.

[signatures]

I'm not worrying, only noting.

[boutant]

[ Are you sure those aren't the same with you, Eames? ]

I'll remember.

[duplicities]

How flattering.

[signatures]

You should be.

[duplicities]

Should I consider your good opinion of me that essential?

[signatures]

Absolutely.

[duplicities]

I find that doubtful, somehow.

[signatures]

Because you're a critic.

[duplicities]

Because I'm skeptical of you.

[signatures]

A skeptical critic.
