It was inevitable.

A rather strangely-dressed man enters the Nexus, closing the door to wherever he just was behind him with a small sigh. The solemn expression then turns into a grin - a rather mischievious one, if you're an expert on hard-to-decipher smiles.

"When you think of the future, what comes to mind?"

Perhaps she's familiar, perhaps not. Either way, her mannerisms seem scarily familiar, even if she's shorter and closer to having an hourglass figure than what he knows.

Plus, that sweet smelling smoke just should cement it, "That, sweet, depends on the future in question." She answers, intentionally enigmatically.

Oh, god. This will end well.

A subtle quirk of an eyebrow is just about the only evidence Clow shows of being slightly perplexed. Who is this strange woman, and why is she being so Yuuko-like?

"Yours, one would assume."

[im2sexy4mysnark]

If he's expecting her to hit him because of said Yuuko-likeness, she doesn't need to. Yuuko beat her to the punch quite literally. Plus the fact that she probably wouldn't hit him. Just verbally snipe the hell out of him instead.

"Mmm, you don't know, then, sweet?" A long drag on her pipe, "Of all people, I'd think you would at least have an idea."

[i_themagician]

Of what the future is? Certainly. But...

"Of what you think of the future? Of course not." He's not quite that kind of magician.

[im2sexy4mysnark]

She decides to give him a somewhat straight answer, "Mmmm. If it all goes like its supposed to, I like the idea."

"So, what, pray tell, does bring you here?" She knows you're not hers, but.

[i_themagician]

I'm jealous. Tempting as it is, he won't be saying that. "Well, at least things will be alright in the end.

"This is just where I ended up first, it looks like."

[im2sexy4mysnark]

"It's getting there that's the issue, sweet. Always is." She replies. She knows what he wants to say. A Clow is a Clow, and she can read you like a book. Which is probably scary, since she's Yuuko-like, she's still not Yuuko. Which means that some of her tells are the same, but others are different in subtle ways.

"Mmm, that happens, sometimes. Hopefully, you won't be stuck." For all our sakes. Because she's not sure how she could take you being around, Clow.

[i_themagician]

He just smiles at the first bit - nothing to really say, there, but he understands.

"Not here or now, but elsewhere and at another time. I'm looking forward to it, somewhat."

[im2sexy4mysnark]

It's not that she hates him. She just knows he's not hers. And she'd have issues with that. One of which being, to be completely honest, her slight worry that she'd sleep with him. Which is funny, since she has no real worries about sleeping with anyone else.

Huh. So she does have limits. Surprise the writer, why don't you?

"Mmmm, interesting." She says, with a bit of a faraway look, "Looking forward to it, why is that?"

[i_themagician]

"Because I'm not sure what will happen after that!" Yes, he likes surprises, and they're so rare for him...

[im2sexy4mysnark]

She chuckles a bit, "Easily amused, are we?" She asks, teasing a little.

Because, well. She can't resist.

[i_themagician]

"He who is amused easiest, is amused most."

... Right.
