"There's nothing there," Blair said fingering the double strand of pearls around her neck. Hair slicked back into a low knot at the base of her neck, she touched the coffee table. Not much, but what could one expect from a man who lived alone? It didn't matter really, he could be such a dear when he wanted to be

When a girl is trying to decide if the past year and then some of her life had exactually happened or just been one very bad post-Thanksgiving nightmare there was really one method of coping. A very strong Bloody Mary and a nice review of the Post. Sitting in the living room, she scanned the various headlines having a serious sense of deja vu as she waited for people to show up.

Was this just her and S or had everyone else been drinking from the poorly filtered water?

"Of course I'm on a first name basis with him, I've..." Blair came to a screeching halt mid-sentence as the rest of what Cabbage Patch was asking of her fully sunk in.

The extent of what she knew and he didn't was a wide, deep sea and in that sea there were krakken and they liked the taste of human, plaid covered flesh.

Her drink was empty and Dorota was occupied serving the less fortunate (oh the things she did in the name of charity) so she was left severely limited options. Pouting slightly, she wished that she hadn't skipped the Lexapro this morning for the side-effects alone.

"The things I know would straighten your hair and then curl it again, Humphrey."

"Does that begin or end with an island?" I ask, extending the challenge the way her lipgloss lackies never would. I'm losing what little patience I had for Blair very quickly, and the more time passes that Serena doesn't walk through the elevator doors, the less I'm willing to accept that I'm actually having a conversation with these people.

"Yes. Part of it does, but that's this isn't real estate so location isn't everything," she quipped, ready to have some sort of combat. It felt good to be able to size someone down.

"Get a hold of yourself, Humphrey, it's not my fault that you were invited and then disinvited from the party."

Nate was fed and watered and in a way better mood than he'd started out the morning by the time he found Blair. Grinning, he came to her side. "Hey, so what're we meeting about?" he asked easily. "Just everybody checking in?"

"Something like that," Blair said not wanting to divulge too much information on the offchance that the rest of their group hadn't been given the dilightful memory set of the island.

Though given who Nate had brought as a hostess gift, she was pretty certain she could count Nate in the same boat as Serena, Beat and her. Pointing to Kate. "You really should have brought a bottle of wine. A whole person is just too much."

Nate's gaze started to slide over to Kate, but he caught Blair's meaning before it got there and he shook his head instead, smiling. "You don't get to keep her," he informed Blair. "I think we're going to be very seriously engaged with the city of New York for the next few days."

Pouting, Blair put the extra effort into seeming as if she had desperately longed to keep the Archibald's current fling.

"Awh, why can't I? She'd go so well with the drappery in the red room," she said seriously. "I don't care how engaged we are with New York, serious or otherwise. The point is that we're here. In the aftermath of my favourite holiday."

"Yeah, but just for a couple days," Nate said with an easy shrug. "I mean, this isn't even real, Blair. You should take advantage. Call your dad, or hell, fly out there."
