So you said you were going to teach me how to shoot. Or rather I told you a badass friend of mine is capable and you said if that friend wasn't available you would. But I was talking about you.

Call me back.

[He attempts to call her first, just in case she is around!]

→ ✆ mobilisomnia November 20 2010, 22:33:04 UTC

[Answers. There's loud music.] Hello?

[Said off the phone.] No, hold on. Shut up.

[Clunk, clunk, clunk of her walking away and the music isn't as loud.] Sorry about that. Hello.

[A dry pause here as he waits.]

Party? [He asks not entirely disbelieving but a little maybe.]

→ ✆ mobilisomnia November 20 2010, 22:46:21 UTC

[She scoffs like it's a joke.] No. Art gallery show case.

[Ah, that makes much more sense.] Student work, or...?

→ ✆ mobilisomnia November 20 2010, 23:18:53 UTC

A girl in my graduate class is having an opening in Montmarte.

→ ✆ specifics November 20 2010, 23:49:43 UTC

Good for her.

[He pauses, possibly checking something in his notes.]

So. Shooting lessons. When were you thinking of? I'm on a job right now but we can plan ahead. [Really this is Arthur; he prefers it.]

→ ✆ mobilisomnia November 21 2010, 00:11:25 UTC

I'm free most weekdays after eight and weekend afternoons.

→ ✆ specifics November 21 2010, 00:36:51 UTC

We could make a weekend out of it once my schedule clears. No sense in rushing it if we don't have to.

→ ✆ mobilisomnia November 21 2010, 01:44:42 UTC

Whenever you can make it, Arthur. You're doing it for me.

→ ✆ specifics November 21 2010, 05:36:21 UTC

When I'm finished here I can call you.

[Pause and then, without segue...]

Do you plan on going home for Thanksgiving or Christmas?

→ ✆ mobilisomnia November 21 2010, 05:45:05 UTC

No. Going to order Chinese and watch Miracle on 34th St for Thanksgiving. Might go home for New Years though.

→ ✆ specifics November 21 2010, 05:50:10 UTC

[On his end there is another pause, his brow furrows. The matter can't possibly be money after the inception, but...hm. Well Arthur's not one to pry, but he takes note, quiet note.]

Miracle on 34th Street -- isn't that one for Christmas though?

[Arthur does nitpick a little though, and then trying to think of any Thanksgiving films. The only one that comes to mind is one of the Addams family movies...and he's not sure which one it was.]

→ ✆ mobilisomnia November 21 2010, 05:58:31 UTC

Oh, I have the Christmas music out already. It's a thing I used to do as a kid. Movie about believing in the impossible. Sounds familiar, huh?

[She can't help but smile, given everything they went through.]

→ ✆ specifics November 21 2010, 06:09:24 UTC

[He lets a chuckle escape for that one, because it's funny how the impossible things of childhood can be so different from the ones of adulthood. Possibly the childhood imaginings are more fantastical though. Inception is still a kind of deceit, however grand the playing field. Things like believing in goodwill toward men, presents under a tree, and a sense of magic...Arthur doubts he remembers what those things were like. But he knows they exist for some people. Every idea is a truth for at least one person or it wouldn't exist at all.]

You don't get sick of it by the time Christmas actually comes around?

[It's not a criticism, just a curiosity for once.]
