2nd March [video]

[ Lenalee has kept herself as polished as the mirror she's now drumming neat nails on, but the spit and shine doesn't quite hide the tired shadows in her eyes or the imprints of teeth on her lip. ]

Don't paint me ungrateful for this, but I don't care for this place's wars.

[ she had meant for the message to be bait (if Kanda is here then it's perfectly feasible that this BREW thing had russled up the rest of them - they are warriors after all) but she's lost so many things already that it can't hurt to lose her train of thought as well ]

The fresh linen and the food and the promises don't balance out blood loss, and the storm gets in my eyes and makes me tired. It's all at the wrong time, though I can't think of a right time, and I. I have people. [ her eyes crease, flicker and the feed ends ]

Hey, do we have room for one more?

[hexappeal]

Why are you asking me? You're not blind. [That is a resounding "yes, honey," yanno.]

[ioudas]

She might end up staying the night with us.

[hexappeal]

Babe, I have no problem with that. That's what I was getting at.

[ioudas]

Thank you.

[hexappeal]

Like I was going to say "no." Honestly, if I had to put my money on it, you'd be the one to deny the girl a place to sleep.

[A beat. Wait, what.] Do you know her?

[ioudas]

I do know her. She's Allen's girlfriend.

[hexappeal]

Ah, really? [This is news to her.] I'm glad for him, then! We should pick up some cake or something to celebrate her arrival!

[ioudas]

... We left Allen alone in the apartment.

With all of our food.

For a day.

[hexappeal]

We can always get more food.

[ioudas]

Thank you.

[hexappeal]

Did you think I'd let us starve? -- wait. Don't answer that.

[ioudas]

Well, we'll be feeding two more.

[hexappeal]

Two?

[ioudas]

Lenalee and Allen?

I swear if anyone else from Team Cross shows up I'll throw Allen out of a window.

[clowned]

Master.

[ioudas]

There's no reason to be scared, Allen. She's too young for me and I'm already shacked up with Zatanna. Go get her.

[clowned]

I never said anything about that.

[ioudas]

Well, she's moving in with us. Find a new place.

[clowned]

There's enough room for all of us!!

[ioudas]

But I like her more than I like you.

[clowned]

I seem to be missing your point.

[ioudas]

I mean that we're sorry, but we're letting you go.

[hexappeal]

So, let me get this straight. One, if she wasn't too young you'd be all over her and two, I'm going to hit you.

The last part seems about right, at least.

[ioudas]

Darling please, lets not fight in front of the kids.
