[ota] Scouting...

[escapeandevade]

Addy had made a ton of list for Elani, even taped them to his desk for when she got back. One list of the countries and people representing them, for the booths and who was making them, one for musicians and entertainers to help with the people that were frankly unable to be even remotely entertaining

Or maybe a newly named Spade emissary would wander over with turnovers - rainbow cake was the perfect Christophe present, but she had too much going on this week to bake six cakes of various colors - and come up behind Addy.

"Did the Clubs assign a new emissary, too?"

Except, Mr. Addison, she remembered when you were basically living out of Victor's office, and she...sort of doubted that.

Why did people always want to talk to you when you were looking....something other than busy, but not interested in company? It baffled him.

"No," he said, turning to look at Zoe a bit skeptically. "Just out for a walk."

It was because usually if you were something other than busy but not interested in company, then you were probably not exactly up to any good. But maybe that was up for any good.

As it was, she just tipped her head up to look at the spires and then back at Addy. Uh-huh. "They tend to come out and investigate. I tried building inspector once, but it didn't really fly."

"There isn't a sign posted saying I cannot walk here." He said with a frown, before looking at Zoe skeptically.

"Maybe it was because you're a Spade." Because clearly that made her untrustworthy at the core of things. People could sense that.

They possibly wouldn't. Danielle on the other hand. She clears her throat loudly a few seconds before she appears next to his side. None of that patent Tung Suddenly There approach. That wouldn't be good for either of them. She looks like she's about to go through her regular work schedule with her tailored business outfit and her tap-tap-tapping away on that Blackberry of her.

Except she isn't. Instead she's heading toward the Arcana Embassy with Lucas as if it was everyday she does this.

"Milady Jack Avery has asked me to accompany you during your visit at the embassy," she said at last. She looks up at him to give brief eye contact before looking back down at the cellphone. "She said you were attempting to have a Diamond be brought along and she assigned me. If this is a problem then I do apologize but this is an order I'll accomplish."

There were just some things someone didn't do around a man who was jumpy. Appearing out of no where was one of those things, as he nearly pulled a knife on her before she got a word out. Nearly.

He was getting better.

"...That doesn't even make sense," he protested, stopping in his steps to stare at Danielle suspiciously. "She said no- so why would you be here?"

[lightsthejewels]

She tried to announce her appearance before coming to his side. Shouldn't there be effort points on that? Maybe she should consider the Nearly-Pulled-Out-A-Knife-But-Didn't as said points.

"After careful consideration some time after your conversation with her, she decided to retract her earlier decision and agreed to it. Sending me in the process." She stops walking as well and continues to type away a message. Possibly to one of the members of IM about some scheduling conflicts. Or just a hello to her parents. "If you wish to -- We can head all the way back to the Diamond Castle, make an appointment with the busy Milady Jack Avery and wait for confirmation about my claims when we are allowed to see her at last."

[escapeandevade]

"...No." He said, staring at her still. "But I don't want you." In so many ways. But Avery changing her mind about things had never once, not once, in their years together- gone well for him. Everytime she just up and changed her mind about things- well....things that were less than grand happened.

Like camping. The Camping was fine, actually, the whole 'we aren't going to have sex' and then leaving the condoms at home that turned into 'lets have sex, oh you forgot the condoms? I'll just torture you'.....

Yeah. Not the best example, maybe, but the only one that came to mind at the moment. Well- aside from the 'I care about you' but 'I don't love you', mess. Yeah. Worked out great- the whole womanly, flip-flop mindset.

"You can go home."
