She hums vaguely to herself as she reads the latest piece of stolen fiction - she's moved over to fiction exclusively after attempting for a time to read history books. She perches on the arm of a couch, sweeping her gaze around the room every couple of minutes. It is more than obvious that her concentration has long since broken, but she

*glances in, and usually wouldn't interrupt someone while reading, but hasn't seen her in a while and...hey, as long as she's not actually paying attention to the book...* Esther?

[ambitionkills]

*looks up and smiles, trying not to look too relieved to be distracted* Hello, Lethe. I haven't seen you for a while.

[the_white_sheep]

Was thinking the same. *slight grin* How've you been?

[ambitionkills]

*shrugs* Menially busy, on the whole well enough. And you?

[admiral_grumpy]

Hello, friend who makes safe cakes. Anything new and nonpoisonous out of the kitchen?

[ambitionkills]

*hands him a Tupperware container of small, jam-filled pastries* Yes, actually. I decided baking was a wonderful pursuit.

[admiral_grumpy]

Why, thank you. I'll have to hold some of these in reserve for the times where I end up burning things or the stock of other safe baked goods is running low.

I've been neglecting you lately, I think. How's the rest of life going for you?

[ambitionkills]

That sounds like a healthy plan. *rolls eyes*

You've had more productive things to do, I think. I don't feel especially neglected. *shrugs* Fair to good. Yourself?

*will wander in, then, rubbing his eyes -- he hasn't yet bothered to reapply his eyeliner*

*stops and tilts his head at Esther and her couch* ...Hi.

[ambitionkills]

*vague headtilt at him, then smiles* Hello.

[muchadoabout]

*smiles vaguely, running a hand through his hair to try in vain to make it neater* Who're you?

[ambitionkills]

Esther McQueen. I know who you are already, Nothing. *slight laugh*

[avenginggoddess]

...my typist tells me I talk too much and that I shouldn't talk to you because I don't really know you and you might get annoyed with me.
But hi.

[ambitionkills]

I am only annoyed with those who are annoying. *smiles* Hello, Nemesis. How are you? *typist is thinking that they've met*

[avenginggoddess]

Oh, well, hopefully I'm not annoying, then. I don't like annoying people. I'm...all right, I suppose. And you? *They have! Except she was a cat at the time...actually, I think she was normal at one point*

[ambitionkills]

You're not annoying. You'd know you were annoying if everything I said to you was a not-so-well-hidden barb. *smiles* All right as well, I suppose.
