Edmund has been in the bar for some time now without an entrance post, because his player is a doofus.

Just at the moment, he's got tea and his notebook again, sitting at a table in the middle of the room.

Comments

[called_lioness]

"Hello, Ed." Lucy has a rather queer expression on her face as she sits next to him.

[iustus_rex]

"Lu."

And he blinks.

"You all right?"

He's offering her his tea, not waiting for her reply.

[called_lioness]

"Hmm? Oh, quiet." Takes the tea absently, sipping. "I've met all sorts of people here. Have you?" Still the same odd look on her face.

[iustus_rex]

A rather odd look on his face as well, as perhaps he thinks of a brother and a sister he has met, or perhaps a vampire, or perhaps a boy turned purple by the bar.

"Rather."

He smiles a little, and walks over to the bar, carefully polite in asking for tea with honey and milk for Lucy, and another cup with milk and the slightest touch of sugar for himself.

[called_lioness]

"I'm not sure if you've met anyone exactly like who I've met. Or perhaps you have? What sort of people have you seen?" She takes the tea, and her motions have the same absent-minded method to them.

[iustus_rex]

"I think actually we have met someone the same - I was speaking with Eska last night, she mentioned she'd talked to you."

He smiles a little, watching her carefully.

"There's also a girl named Ace I've met, who seems quite nice. And a boy about my age who's dead, and who the bar turned purple today. And a vampire."

He doesn't mention the Endless. Not yet, at least.

[called_lioness]

"I did meet Eska, yes. She's very nice. Why purple?" A long drink of tea.

"I met a woman named Claire and her son, and then embarrassed myself by asking about her husband, as she doesn't have one. And I met a woman named Fleur, who happens to be a which and part veela, I think, which is rather like a sex demon. And I hugged the antichrist. His name is Adam."

[iustus_rex]

"Purple because it was much easier on the eyes than the rather excruciatingly violent yellow - "

He blinks.

"I say, Lu, you did what?"

[called_lioness]

"You should suggest blue. It's soothing."

Another long drink. "Which part?"

[iustus_rex]

"Yes, but when he was blue it was paired with a hideous bright orange..."

He looks down at his own tea, and then mentally shrugs and passes it to her as well.

"Several, I think. A witch? A sex demon? And - the antichrist?"

[called_lioness]

"That sounds truly awful."

Ah, tea. Blessed tea. Fleur was right. Lucy is very British. "Yes. A witch. And part sex demon, actually. She's very pretty. Very nice too. And French. And yes. The antichrist. I did say his name is Adam, didn't I? He's your age, actually."

[iustus_rex]

And if Lucy's not bothered by the witch, sex demon or not, then he will trust her judgment.

And that brings him to:

"Yes. You did say his name is Adam. And that he's the Antichrist. And?"

[called_lioness]

"And I hugged him. I don't think he's very happy."

[iustus_rex]

Edmund stares at her.

[called_lioness]

Lucy considers. "That might not have been the most brilliant thing to do, I suppose."

[iustus_rex]

Yeah, no, still staring.
