When the door opens for Steph this time she is framed against the background of a busy street in Nairobi, instead of the quiet villages she's been in. She looks frazzled and tired and sore. And when she looks up and it's the bar, not the hotel lobby she expected, she looks very pleased.

"Finally. I missed you," she informs the gleaming countertop ( Read more... )

A wild Alex appears.

He is holding a carton of milk with a drawing on it. Also, his name. "I think someone noticed I left."

Steph looks suddenly slightly shifty.

"It's possible."

v_accidentprone July 16 2011, 02:00:28 UTC

Alex offers her a crooked smile. "At least your cover is still intact."

Beat.

"I think."

Steph grins. "It was the beard. I knew it'd be the best disguise ever. How'd you go once you got home?"

"It went fine."

He got hustled away from Wimbledon about as fast as MI6 could take him. Heroes get no respect anymore.

Steph eyes him.

"What kind of 'fine' are we talking, here? You don't have to actually give details, I know you're into the secrets thing, but as long as you're not telling me 'fine' and actually, like, bleeding from the kidneys or something."

v_accidentprone July 16 2011, 03:09:51 UTC

He laughs quietly. "Really fine. Everything's sorted."

"If you promise." Steph reaches to get down a Coke and turns to show him, questioning. "You ever gonna tell me what it is you actually do out there?"

v_accidentprone July 16 2011, 03:33:54 UTC

"I could tell you," he says cheerfully, "but then I'd have to kill you."

Sometimes it's easiest to lie with the truth. Or something pointing to the truth, anyway.

Steph grins at him and pushes the soda across the bar to him.

"You could try."

v_accidentprone July 16 2011, 03:52:50 UTC

He grins back at her. "I'd rather not."

i_spoiled_it July 16 2011, 04:22:10 UTC

"Good choice," Steph says solemnly.

"... if only because you'd probably succeed. I can't really use my right arm yet, it's a bit of a handicap. But I'd just like to point out that if I was at my best? You'd be toast."

Trufax.

"With jam, I'm sure," he agrees.

i_spoiled_it July 17 2011, 13:25:17 UTC

"Delicious jam." Steph grins at him. "Yeah."
