Jul 02, 2009 16:17

Chloe got off her flight from New York and followed the signs to the lounge. She dumped the duffle bag of clothes that Andrew had hastily purchased on the floor and slumped into one of the uncomfortable airport chairs ( Read more... )

Make new friends! Boggle at some of the odd fashion choices!

Tybalt wasn't exactly in the mood for mingling. Tybalt was in the mood for standing on the outskirts of the lounge, his lip curled back in a distasteful sneer, wondering just what he'd done to deserve a punishment like this one.

... Aside from the obvious.

If anyone did care to mingle with him, he would be the one in the fancy vest, pulling expensive import cigars from his pocket and then striking a match. Airport smoking laws, his ass.

Layla made a quiet polite coughing noise in her throat and pointed at the non-smoking sign.

"It's a federal law not to smoke in an airport," she said sweetly.

Tybalt's eyebrow quirked upward at that, and he took a moment to regard the girl with the same passive disdain as one might have for a beggar on the streets. Well. That was a very inconvenient law.

"Law, is it?" He made his way to the sign, stopping near it and leaning forward slightly as though he was actually bothering to make a note of the thing. "In that case, I must offer my most profound apologies. I must have failed to see the sign."

He then proceeded to stub his cigar out on the sign. See? Problem solved.

"Apology accepted," Layla said cheerfully. "I would have hated for you to have been detained by airport security. It would have no doubt ended badly for you."

"No doubt," Tybalt agreed, albeit somewhat warily. Airport security probably would have had a heyday with the guns that he had packed, as well. The laws of Verona were decidedly different from most other places, in that regard. "Thou art quite the thoughtful one. I suppose I should be thanking thee for the reminder, as well?"

"If you would like," Layla said politely and offered her hand. "I'm Layla Miller. I know stuff."

Tybalt was now looking at her hand as though it was entirely possible that it was going to jump up and bite him. Most people didn't tend to remain so... So irritatingly chipper when faced with his attitude, really. This was something of a new experience for him.

After a moment, he shrugged one shoulder, put what was left of his cigar back into his jacket pocket, and accepted her hand for a shake. She had saved him from airport security. He had to grant her that much.

"'Tis with... pleasure, good lady, that I make thine acquaintance on this fine morn. I am Tybalt, and a Capulet." A pause, while he took her greeting into consideration. "And I hesitate to ask what it is that thou feels so compelled to announce thy knowledge of."

"Well I know stuff of course!" Layla replied with a grin. "Which part confused you? The knowing? The Stuff? Or do you have issues with personal pronouns?"

Not staring. Making a point not to stare. Must. Not. Stare.

Tybalt was staring. Bitch was crazy.

"Stuff."

Yes, he was kind of stuck on that point.

"Well you know," Layla said with a casual shrug, and definitely enjoying his reaction. "Stuff-stuff."

Re: Mingle! feline_royalty July 3 2009, 03:01:25 UTC
"Stuff. Stuff." There was a kind of bland note, there, while Tybalt worked his head around that. "One cannot exactly say that statement narrows down the options."

Nope. There was a lot of stuff out there, really.

"Well for instance I know it's probably not a good idea to bring a loaded weapon into an airport after 9/11," Layla replied. "But hey, it's you're butt they'll strip search. Not mine."

"After what?"

Tybalt was from 1996. It was still probably not a great idea to bring a loaded weapon into an airport, but--

... Wait.

He leaned forward as the realization dawned upon him, hissing under his breath as he spoke.

"And what dost thou know of my Rapier, girl?"

"That you tend to be a little free with it when it comes to someone named Montague," Layla replied as she raised an eyebrow. "But I wouldn't worry too much. You'll eventually get what you deserve."

Tybalt jerked back at that statement as though somebody had burned him, wide-eyed for all of an instant before narrowing them again and curling his lip.

"Thou art mad," he decided. Because that explained things quite nicely, indeed. "Or else my reputation has broader reach than I had thought."

Stuff. Stuff, indeed.

"Possibly both."

Which wasn't going to stop him from taking a moment to make absolutely certain that his gun wasn't visible here, of course.
