--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.))

....really?

[boutant]

Really. Whenever he gets weird I can just threaten to sic her on him.

[punchedhitler]

You know you can just call me, right? I'm not exactly working very hard lately.

[boutant]

[ There's a bit of a smile. Aww, Steve. ] I know. If I ever actually need to, I will. Tony doesn't really mean anything by it, though.

[punchedhitler]

Mostly it gives me a lot of time to take him to get donuts and listen to him make up words like google.

[boutant]

[ Pause. ]

"Google" is a word, though.

[punchedhitler]

[PAUSE]

Wait.

No it isn't.

[boutant]

Yes it is. It's a relatively newer one, but it's a word.

[punchedhitler]

Who makes up a word like Google?

I mean outside of Tony?

[boutant]

The... people who invented Google?

[punchedhitler]

The future is confusing.

[boutant]

Sometimes.

[punchedhitler]

[And women don't wear skirts.]

Trust me, most of it.

[boutant]

[ She actually wears skirts more in the City than she does anywhere else, thanks to Lily Potter giving her some. ]

Next time you think Tony's making up a word, you can doublecheck with me.

[punchedhitler]

We're going to be talking a lot, then. I don't know what he's saying half the time.

[boutant]

I don't mind. If it gets too technical I'll defer to Arthur.

[punchedhitler]

That's pretty swell of you.

[boutant]

I try.
