Peter's been feeling at loose ends lately. Faintly grumpy loose ends, at that, and that brings him back into the bar ( Read more... )

"You must be horrible bored," his sister notes absently as she settles in a nearby chair.

"A bit," he admits. "But who is more bored, the bored man, or the one reduced to commenting on the boredom of others?"

called_lioness June 27 2007, 05:48:53 UTC

"The bored man," she says immediately, with her best 'I am your youngest sister and thus adorable' grin.

"Always."

He snorts, and flicks the spinning coin at her.

Lucy sticks out her tongue as she reaches for the coin, fingering it absently.

"I might," she admits, "be a bit bored."

That doesn't mean he gets the shilling back.

highking June 27 2007, 06:06:37 UTC

Well, he found it in a sofa. No great loss.

"Well, now I'm not. Perhaps the shilling is cursed."

called_lioness June 27 2007, 06:12:06 UTC

"You flicked a cursed shilling at me?"

Lucy tsks.

"Not very responsible of you."

She rests her chin on her hand after a moment, shrugging. "I took Corella out and played with the dragons and seem to have misplaced my husband for the moment. Which would be all right if I didn't think he had the book I'm reading with him. Hence the boredom. Fancy some tea?"

highking June 27 2007, 06:14:30 UTC

"Well, I didn't know. And I don't know, are you going to put the shilling in my teacup?"

called_lioness June 27 2007, 06:20:56 UTC

He earns a mildly horrified look at that.

"It would ruin the tea."

highking June 27 2007, 06:29:00 UTC

"...we are really dreadfully British, you know."

called_lioness June 27 2007, 06:31:47 UTC

"Yes, I know. Many people here find it quite amusing," she says dryly.

"Though I prefer to think of it as us having good taste."

highking June 27 2007, 06:46:38 UTC

"I'll get the tea, shall I?"

He returns after a moment. "I saw Professor Kirke today, Lu."

called_lioness June 27 2007, 06:58:06 UTC

"Did you?"

Her face lights up.

Not quite as much as you might think, but still.

"I saw him a few days back. Is he--he was alive when you saw him?"

highking June 27 2007, 06:59:51 UTC

Peter nods. "And--still doesn't know that we aren't. I think he's beginning to suspect something is wrong, though. He asked if he shouldn't ask if I expected to ever go home."

called_lioness June 27 2007, 07:03:50 UTC

"Of course he suspects," she sighs and rubs at her neck. "He's...well, he's the Professor."

Bugger.

"I don't want to tell him, Peter."

highking June 27 2007, 07:08:42 UTC

Everything is complicated.

"Nor do I." He shakes his head. "It would be dreadful for him, to just sit there and--wait for it."
