 [so tabby. how about when a friend who's been away for a while shows up at your dressing room door with an armful of books and a dizzy expression.]

What--for--

[it isn't often that mehitabel lets herself express the fact that she's at a loss for words, but desperate times etc. she closes her eyes for a moment, taking it in, and tries again]

I'm surprised to see you.

[she exhales, and seems to relax a bit from the initial surprise]

It's a bit difficult to do so, considering where you've arrived from--where I assume you've arrived from.

No, just come in. If Jean-Soleil knocks I'm going to tell him to bother Bartholomew and deal with those consequences later.

[she opens the door for him]

[she motions towards the small sofa next to the dresser]

Have a seat. I think I should still have some brandy or wine from last month's performance around here somewhere...

[finds a couple of glasses and pours a drink for each of them, with a general air of "no protests"]

[YEP. she helpfully pours him another and then pulls up a chair to start making headway on her own drink]

[she leans forward some, elbows resting on the top of her thighs. she speaks gently]

What happened, Vincent?

[personal profile] keepingtabs 2017-04-16 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[she nods, prompting him to continue]

[personal profile] keepingtabs 2017-04-16 06:43 am (UTC)(link)


... did you leave because you feared what would happen if the choice to leave was taken from you?

[personal profile] keepingtabs 2017-04-16 06:46 am (UTC)(link)


Did you not, before?

[it's actually kind of a mean question to ask, but she wants him to get out whatever it is that seems to be weighing on his chest]

[personal profile] keepingtabs 2017-04-16 06:50 am (UTC)(link)


[she doesn't say anything for a few moments, pondering, and taking a drink]

Well, here you are. What is it you wish to try?

Lenore's been studying writing to take over that task, and she's made well enough progress, but if you'd like to resume your post it won't be any trouble.

You could tutor her and be an assist in the interim. Her work is a bit stretched thin, though she's made a good effort.

[personal profile] keepingtabs 2017-04-16 07:13 am (UTC)(link)


That won't be a problem, then.

[she leans back in her chair and takes a long drink]
