Somebody knows, somebody's seen. Somebody knows right where you've been.

Sark is in a tree.

Yes, you read that right. This would make a great deal of sense if he were a ferret and some sense if he were a tiger, but, at the present moment, he is a person. In a tree.

No, he really doesn't want to talk about it, but he suspects he's going to have to. Apparently, he was taking a walk through the park, contemplating whimsy ( Read more... )

Katja is in the park, because Katja doesn't really want to be in HQ until they've set her laboratories up right and proper -- and then she'll probably just tear them all apart and put everything back together the right way, but that's beside the point. The point is, the day is warm, the park is there, and Katja...um, exists.

She noticed the man in the tree from pretty far away, since she's given to keeping her eyes off the ground when wandering about. As she came closer, she realized that she recognized said man in the tree. And now she's under the tree, leaning against it and looking up through the branches.

"Well if it isn't Mr. Snark'n'Run," she calls up to him. "Caught in a tree. K-I-S-S--oh whatever, you're the only one up there and hell if I want to think that about you anyway."

If there was anything Des didn't want right now, the random woman from the Conrad whose name he doesn't even know was probably ten of them. Really. Chicago is a big city. Obnoxious people who, for some reason, grate on your nerves should be easy to avoid! He avoids Vaughn and they live in the same damn building!

He does a fairly good impression of a person who is totally up in a tree for a REASON and not up there, because he can't get down and glowers down at her. "Well. You seem to have a certain predilection for staring. Now is that a hobby or do you really just lack anything better to do with your time?"

Katja snorts. "Wouldn't having a hobby imply that I had nothing better to do with my time?" she asks. "And one could do better than staring; at least mine's informative. Yours seems to have just gotten you stuck up a tree."

Part of her is tempted to climb up the tree just to prove that she can do it better than Mr. Smugpants up here. Part of her is saying that's a bad idea because she's not wearing the right shoes. The part that's winning is telling her she'll drop her cigarette if she tries, but once the cancer stick is gone, she may just have to injure Sark's pride some more.

Sark really, really hates this city. And most of the people in it, barring certain individuals. It's times like this, he realizes that he hasn't really changed all that much. Sometimes he still just wants to garotte every person who looks at him sideways.

This woman. Is topping that list.

"I am not stuck," he says, practically hissing. Were he a cat, he'd be bristling. As it stands... Maybe his hair just looks fluffier than normal.

That is totally a valid argument and you will never convince him otherwise.

Katja sticks the cigarette in her mouth, holding it determinedly between her lipsticked lips, and figures, to hell with it. It is time to climb this tree because she can so totally do it better than this guy. Clearly this is the only reason anyone would ever risk a perfectly good cigarette ( ... )

Sark continues to stare at her like he'd like to tear her throat out and then proceeds to start working his way down... Very awkwardly. Possibly, extremely awkwardly. It's very difficult to do this delicately, in general, but if someone's watching.

The branch he just put his foot down on cracks and he drops a couple of inches and just barely catches himself. Lovely. He'll be cashing in his dignity card again. He keeps having to do that.

He gives Katja a LOOK OF DEATH as he dangles rather pathetically, just daring her to say a word. ...Not that he can do anything to her in this position, BUT FEAR HIS BLUE-EYED GAZE OF DEATH. FEEEEAR.

Katja tries and fails to smother a laugh, and therefore it comes out as kind of an unladylike snork with giggles afterward. She puts her forehead against a branch in front of her and giggles some more, looking at Sark with an incredulous and incredibly amused face ( ... )
