[interludes] fate betwixt the both of you

[rhyfelgri]

Enfys has a few calls to make - Candice and Fred get some very helpful and informative messages on their respective voicemails, to start with - and when she's done with that, she pats Luke briefly and tells him she has to go do this one in person.

Sagramore, after all, does not to the best of her knowledge actually have a phone. She remembers

Sagramore has, as mentioned, been doing a little more drinking than strictly speaking is appropriate, although he has to be somewhat subtle about it or Certain People get Upset. So with that in mind it makes sense that he is on the porch where the chairs are, having coffee without much coffee in it, despite the fact that it is a freezing October afternoon.

Enfys saunters up; there's something about the way she moves into space like she's claiming it, but that's really neither here nor there. On a whim she'd rather not explain, she'd changed before she came - one of the dresses Ce'Nedra foisted on her that she's actually going to leave as is for the sake of Candice - and she's actually glad she did; with the long coat as well it's warmer than what she had before.

Really, she looks almost respectable, her hands tucked into her coat sleeves.

"Hello, you."

[le_desirous]

He looks up and smiles, warmly, getting to his feet. "Good afternoon. It's good to have you here."

[rhyfelgri]

"I can't stay too long," she says, cautioning, but she bolts forward and hugs him anyway.

[le_desirous]

He hugs back, snuggling her a little discreetly. "What are you about to-day?"

[rhyfelgri]

Enfys curls in, kittenish and cuddly, before she steps back again. "Well, you got so annoyed with me the last time I buggered off and didn't warn you first..."

This is a brilliant start.

[le_desirous]

Okay, this look? This is the look he used to give Morgause. "Where are you going?"

[rhyfelgri]

"To find a library!" She's so excited about this, even if she's tamping down on it for the sake of Being Good at him. "My friend Luke lost a planet, we're going to go find it."

She's leaving out the part where she has no idea how long this is going to take or the dangers inherent, but she'll probably get to that.

And the former, at least, is kind of implied.

[le_desirous]

"How dangerous will it be?"

[rhyfelgri]

"I'll be fine, I'm going with Jedi Jesus." She waves it off, taking his hands like she can make him less annoyed with her by sheer force of will. "But, um, it is lost...so I don't really know how long we're going to be."

[le_desirous]

He leans down to kiss her forehead. "For Christ's sake, don't get hurt."

[annuska]

"Hello!" This is approximately the point where Annuska explodes out of the house, be-aproned, with her hair in braids, like some kind of deranged prairie belle. She beams, completely unfazed by the presence of a Tender Moment. "Enfys. Papa, you're supposed to say when people are coming."

[rhyfelgri]

"Darling!" Enfys peels away from Sagramore with a half-apologetic smile in his direction to claim Annuska for huggings in the name of the United Kingdom. "Hello, sweetheart, I'm sorry, I didn't tell him I was going to."

[le_desirous]

"She's a cheat," mildly, taking up his coffee again.

[annuska]

"Awful, both of you." Annuska does her best to suffocate Enfys, then lets go slightly. "How are you? Do you like gingerbread, because if not I'm afraid there's only toast--"

[rhyfelgri]

"I love gingerbread," Enfys says, firmly, wrapping her arm around Annuska's shoulder. "Hey! Hey, I'm going away for a bit. I'll bring you something back, yeah?"

We are blithely ignoring accusations of cheating, are we?
