Still, quiet was remarkably difficult when crammed into an air duct, whiny and tired and with a scarf (the one Eddie had given him, fittingly enough) bunching up and blinding him every once in a while. When he'd bragged to Felicia about being able to break in, he'd imagined having Gamzee as backup, flashing them through the complex - not Felicia cramming him into a vent.
She would certainly hear his opinion on her methods later. And so would Eddie. Because it was Eddie's fault in the first place.
But eventually he did find the grate to Eddie's room, and somehow summoned the self-control not to just kick it in. With a few short flashes of his wand the screws gave easily enough; he pushed his way through and dropped in, smoothing out his clothes and fixing his scarf for the hundredth time. Getting out would be an absolute bitch, no doubt. Also Eddie's fault.
"Hi."
It bordered on a growl.

She looked at Eddie, not saying anything for a moment; she adjusted the harness around her waist that would help them leave once the visit was done.
"Evening," she said finally, casually. Her eyes gazed at him through her domino mask, half-lidded in apparent apathy or annoyance. Her claws went back into her gloves with a click that was audible.

"I'm going to get in trouble for that," he mused. Spider-Man had already cut those wires a few weeks earlier, and Eddie's keepers had not been pleased. He glanced at his current company, aware that they'd shed no sympathy for his plight. Sitting up, he shrugged and offered his bed and a sole chair to sit.
"And to what to I owe the pleasure?" He asked with a tone that was not effortlessly casual. "Because I must say, this is quite the surprise. I know Felicia isn't in the habit of making reservations, but Eridan. Falling out of vents? I am shocked."

Eridan strolled over to the offered chair, throwing himself in it with unabashed irritation. Unlike Felicia, he couldn't maintain even the illusion of being casual; the most he could do was cross his legs and shoot Eddie a dirty look, rather than end up on a tirade.
"Fel, you lead this off. I don't particularly got the patience for it."
