[Inappropriate as ever, and annoyed over being run off,]

Ding dong.

heirship February 5 2010, 03:09:24 UTC

Rachel. [ Is he pleased to see her? Is he ever really? It's hard to tell. He is a dry boy. ] I don't suppose you're here to pay your respects.

of_coins February 5 2010, 03:18:18 UTC

Of course I am. Goodness, I am ever so sorry your father keeled over.

[She raises her eyebrows expectantly. There. Happy?]

heirship February 5 2010, 03:21:17 UTC

[ A bit mockingly: ]

Good. Then you can be sorry enough for the two of us.

[A smile touches her mouth, she gives a perfunctory attempt at hiding it.]

That's a pretty pathetic epitaph, between the two of us.

heirship February 5 2010, 03:31:17 UTC

[ He lets out a breath that carries a tinge of disdain. For her or for his father, it's unclear. ]

Fortunately, no one expects much from me, and I'm welcome to pathetic epitaphs if I please.

of_coins February 5 2010, 03:33:21 UTC

Why be here at all then?

heirship February 5 2010, 03:36:58 UTC

Propriety.

of_coins February 5 2010, 03:45:51 UTC

Oh, shut up, Aubrey, no one will even notice if you leave.

heirship February 5 2010, 03:52:47 UTC

[ Sharply, softly, suddenly: ]

Don't tell me to shut up. Mind your nasty mouth, Rachel.

of_coins February 5 2010, 04:06:42 UTC

[Unimpressed, fully. It could be your nasty mouth if you weren't such an ornery thing.]

I'm only saying I would take you out and get you fabulously drunk. [She shrugs.] But if you would rather sulk, I suppose that's entirely up to you.

heirship February 5 2010, 04:14:35 UTC

You would take anyone out to get fabulously drunk, and you wouldn't need a death as an occasion. [ Aubrey's wide mouth takes a shape of annoyance. ] If my sulkling doesn't please you, then you are welcome to call at Mallory estate instead. The patriarch there is quite well.

[Her lips curl.]

You would prefer I go see if June wants to play?

heirship February 5 2010, 05:08:50 UTC

The preference is yours, not mine.

of_coins February 5 2010, 05:25:25 UTC

[She touches uninvited, fingertips curling under his chin.]

I'll be on my way then, but don't forget you're invited. It'll be much more fun that sopping up tears and licking boots.

heirship February 5 2010, 05:38:38 UTC

[ He allows it, only tensing faintly when her skin meets his. ]

You're wrong. I am not invited. He won't see me.
