[puckishly]

Puck is in the bar.

This is in no way unusual.

The only thing that might be even vaguely considered strange is the way he keeps folding and unfolding his wings, as if he can't decide whether he wants them on display.

Green eyes tonight, dark as pine forests-- perhaps he's feeling lucky.

Comments

"There's something you don't see every day. Feeling like an exhibitionst?"

Duo taps Puck on the head with one finger, smirking.

[puckishly]

Puck rolls his eyes.

"I was wondering when I would see your glorious visage again."

[maxwellsdemon02]

Duo preens, rather over dramatically. "I knew you'd come around eventually. Enjoying the snow, or does it interfere with your fun?"

[puckishly]

He snickers.

"Few things in heaven and earth, Master Maxwell, could interfere with my fun."

He looks him over.

"And you? What have you been doing with yourself-- or did you run off with your fellow?"

[maxwellsdemon02]

Duo shoots Puck a glare. "I've been in and out as usual. Business at home trumps time here. And be nice, unless you don't want presents when Christmas comes around."

Beat.

"Unless you like coal."

[puckishly]

Puck considers.

"If you had the ill grace to give me coal, I dare say I would throw it at you."

He has good aim.

[maxwellsdemon02]

"I throw back."

So does Duo.

[puckishly]

"The gift that keeps giving, I see."

[maxwellsdemon02]

"You bet!" He beams happily at Puck.

And now it's time for Duo to pry into his business. "How's Havelock? Been in jail lately?"

[puckishly]

"Has Havelock been in jail?" he says, halfway between incredulousness and a fit of snickering.

[maxwellsdemon02]

"No," Duo says, joining Puck in helpless laughter. "The only reason he'd be there is visiting you. I meant, are you in any trouble."

"Like usual."

[puckishly]

Puck is the absolute soul of angelic.

"Trouble? I'll have you know that I have been keeping well away from such a thing."

[maxwellsdemon02]

"Oh, Puck. When will you learn saying stuff like that only makes me more suspicious. Tell someone one or two minors things and they'll think 'oh, that's not so bad'. Say you've been perfect and they start looking for the broken window and the missing jewelry."

[puckishly]

His jaw drops.

"How did you hear of the jewelry? And, I'll have you know, the window had already shattered when I arrived."

[maxwellsdemon02]

"I have my ways," Duo says, mysteriously. "Maybe I already know what you've been up to, and am only waiting for you to confess."

He crosses his arms and give Puck a gimlet stare.

[puckishly]

Puck folds his own arms over his chest, giving as good as he gets so far as staring goes.

"But what if I await your accusation?"
