[action, morning, may 26] tehoniongirl May 31 2011, 00:56:44 UTC

[Jilly stopped by the bakery to grab a box of pastries and a coffee before making her way to Archie's apartment. It was a familiar offering, an echo of the mornings she'd come over to work on the mural in his entryway, but it's not truly a social call this morning. Or for a project.

They need to talk.

Knock, knock Archie.]

[Archie is not ready to receive visitors. It will take a second of flailing and a called-out "Just a minute!" before he can scramble to put on a shirt. Finally, he opens the door and is very, very glad he took the time to put on the shirt.]

Well, hullo!

[action] tehoniongirl May 31 2011, 01:13:32 UTC

I come bearing gifts.

[she holds up the box as way of explanation] You have a bit?

[action] noprevaricating May 31 2011, 01:15:10 UTC

I do. [He lets her in, unaware that she might want to talk about Serious Things.]

[action] tehoniongirl May 31 2011, 01:17:09 UTC

[stepping inside, she hands him the box as she shifts her grip to her coffee, fingers curling around the surface]

It seems things have been a little...topsy turvy lately.

[action] noprevaricating May 31 2011, 01:20:12 UTC

[Smile disappearing, he takes the box and sets it on the coffee table, figuring they'll sit on the couch.] A little. More than a little. Jack told me what he did.

[action] tehoniongirl May 31 2011, 01:23:02 UTC

[she follows him and sits at the far end, feet automatically curling up under her. She doesn't reach for one of the pastries]

You knew.

[it's not a question]

[action] noprevaricating May 31 2011, 01:25:10 UTC

I just learned about it last night. By the time we were finished there, I wasn't about to disturb you at home. [He sits, anticipating a heck of a conversation all of a sudden.]

[action] tehoniongirl May 31 2011, 01:28:02 UTC

Last night, hmm?

[she sips her coffee. She's not mad...but she isn't particularly pleased, either]

So...him saying I was moving in with you and Horatio... his whole end destination...? He came up with that on his own?

[because that didn't sound like Jack. Jack would have wanted to put her on his boat and sail away. Or lock her at the Cullen House.]

[action] noprevaricating May 31 2011, 01:31:15 UTC

Oh for God's sake. [He rubs his eyes.] I said you could stay with us if it came down to it.

[action] tehoniongirl May 31 2011, 01:37:06 UTC

[a frustrated sound]

Came down to what?

Didn't it occur to any of you that I might want to be involved in planning my own move. If I'm moving at all.

[action] noprevaricating May 31 2011, 01:39:28 UTC

Jack said he was going to speak with you about it. I didn't know it would involve no speaking at all and picking you up like a sack and bringing you over then and there.

[action] tehoniongirl May 31 2011, 01:45:31 UTC

And if he'd talked it over with me. If he'd explained your plan...

[there's no accusation in her voice. If anything, it's gentle...] What would moving here do, except put you at risk too?

[action] noprevaricating May 31 2011, 01:47:07 UTC

If she knew where you lived, it would keep you away from there. I imagine two King's men could do something against a madwoman claiming to be a goddess.

[action] tehoniongirl May 31 2011, 01:53:00 UTC

Claiming to be-

[there's a pause as she assesses how this must seem to Archie. She knew he wasn't used to magic in his world. And it was possible he was right.

But if he was wrong...?] What if she's not a madwoman, Archie?

[and then there's all the ifs. If she knew where Jilly lived. If she'd really made the connection at all. If she even cared enough to seek the artist out...]

[action] noprevaricating May 31 2011, 01:57:20 UTC

I saw Jack's scar, Jilly. I think she must be terribly powerful. Perhaps she'd tear through us like parchment, but it was only a suggestion. I'd have thought there would be more of an understanding between us first, and if someone more qualified to protect you volunteered, you might stay with them. If Grell even knew about you.
