She gives him a sad look. "Trouble at home?"

He looks down at the handkerchief in his hands, which are in his lap. "Yeah. Bunch of birds attacked me. I think Fat Charlie did something. I told Rosie and she broke up with me. Us. Er."

"Then you should talk to your brother."

a_nansi October 13 2006, 20:11:43 UTC

"...he may or may not be currently locked up in a cell, but I have an idea on how to get him out of there." He looks shifty. "I'll go after him as soon as I can. They won't accept anyone coming for help now already, anyway."

vicioussweetie October 13 2006, 20:12:49 UTC

"They?"

a_nansi October 13 2006, 20:14:18 UTC

"The coppers. Gotta put in an hour or two, three, between time of arrest and someone picking you up." He has no experience, but he's heard things.

vicioussweetie October 13 2006, 20:15:36 UTC

"Ah."

a_nansi October 13 2006, 20:20:09 UTC

"Yeah. No wise words, besides talking to Fat Charlie?" He smiles weakly, a bit ironic.

vicioussweetie October 13 2006, 20:22:29 UTC

"Give Rosie some time to sort out her feelings."

a_nansi October 13 2006, 20:24:20 UTC

"Yeah? Okay. I will. Thanks." He smiles wanly and puts the handkerchief away, since most of the cuts have stopped bleeding now.

She reaches out, touching his cheek for a moment. "Have faith in yourself, and in Charles."

a_nansi October 13 2006, 20:29:55 UTC

He brushes his fingers over hers, then smiles. "Thanks, hon. I will. It'll be alright."

vicioussweetie October 13 2006, 20:35:08 UTC

"I know." She smiles.

a_nansi October 13 2006, 20:38:25 UTC

That really helps, actually, restoring a fair part of his confidence. His smile looks better, and a few of the cuts have already healed up.

vicioussweetie October 13 2006, 20:43:27 UTC

She hugs him and kisses his cheek. "You're Anansi's boy. You'll be just fine, and come out of it with a fine story."

a_nansi October 13 2006, 20:44:52 UTC

He laughs and hugs her back. "Thanks, hon. Of course I will. We wouldn't have it any other way, yeah? And it's already a good story. I mean. Flamingoes? Not even smart birds."
