ARG, SORRY THIS IS LATE /3/ hergelaufene January 24 2011, 12:56:32 UTC
Gabriella opened the door one knock in, staring down at the boy. Taking a deep breath, she reached forward, fixing his hair with a few quick swipes of her hands, then his sweater and his sleeves. Satisfied with his appearance (because the apartment couldn't just have any old scruffy boy in there) Gabriella pulled him inside and nuzzled Linus close to her chest.

"You're late!" She said, staring down at the boy pressed against her bust and pulling him away, quirking her head, "How long were you waiting out there this time? You have to just start knocking Linus, I'm not going to bite you."

Sitting him down on one of her white couches, she had to fix his hair again before gliding away to the kitchen. "What do you want to drink? We're going to be sitting for a while, try and look a bit more comfortable," she smiled, "Unless you're still scared of me Herr Linus~?"

IT'S FINE /o/ purple_ribbon4 January 24 2011, 16:33:00 UTC
Linus sat upright on the couch, a blatant blush still plastered on his face after being pressed into his employer's bosom. It wasn't as if this action was anything new; it just happened to catch him off-guard every time. The boy's stiff body sat slightly more against the cushion, to make himself more comfortable. Although now, he just looked quite awkward.

"I apologize for keeping you, Miss Gabriella. I was just thinking." Without noticing, Linus began playing with his newly-fixed sweater sleeves; so that they now covered up to his fingertips. A nervous habit of the boy and he knew it.

His gaze moved quickly to Gabriella as she spoke again; heading into the kitchen. They were going to be sitting here for a while? Linus suddenly felt that this meeting was not like the others. Gabriella had something on her mind. That much was obvious. But what was it? "U-uhm. Nein, nein, I am not afraid of Miss Gabriella." He blinked, realizing he should probably get a drink if they were going to be there for a while. "I will just have a water, ( ... )

AGAIN, I AM LATE! hergelaufene January 26 2011, 10:53:18 UTC
Getting the glass of water for the boy and a bit of champagne mixed with orange juice for herself, Gabriella placed the glass in front of the boy, brushing a hand over his hair again before sitting down across from his him, folding one leg over the other, straightening out her her skirt. She simply watched the young man for a minute, nails running along the arm of her chair in a constant tempo, the red nail polish half reflecting in the white paint of the chair.

"So, Linus," she said, taping a small sip of her drink, red eyes never leaving the boy, either watching his eyes, the fiddling fingers or the hunching nervousness in his shoulders, "I've heard you're apart of a very... interesting production lately."

Oh yes. She would get to the bottom of this "Kira" business.

i-it's still okay? :.D purple_ribbon4 January 26 2011, 17:57:39 UTC
"Danke." Linus took the glass between his two covered hands, so only the tips of his fingers felt the cool aura of the water. The boy felt another cold aura in the room, though. It wasn't until he finally looked up, after taking a sip, that he noticed Gabriella's gaze. Immediately, his eyes raced back to his water. Okay. There was definitely something going on in that head of hers.

The metronome of her nails against the chair only made Linus worry more. Then he thought; was she going to fire him? His hands clutched at the glass of water as if he had been in a desert for days. What had he done wrong? As she spoke, Linus tensed up but then relaxed, almost all in one motion. The movie. She wanted to know about the movie.

"Oh! The movie? Ja, my good friend Kira asked me to do it, so I did. It is quite odd though. I think there are actually two guys fighting over my character." There was a brief pause, where Linus took the opportunity to look back up at his employer warily. "Kinda weird, huh?"
