Chiffre is not reading, nope, but is wanting the fire.

Hardly surprising then, that Simon has the company of a familiar someone joining the area, opting for a very comfortable couch for prime slouching purposes. Because there's more space on the couch.

And he has no book, so he goes for staring at Simon instead? Why? Because he's bored and staring is entertaining.

Oh look, a Villiers, who just happens along. A reading person. Reading is good, see, it's good for the brain, the soul, and kills the eyes.

A Le Chiffre, though, is more notable. And seeing that he's bored, this Villiers makes a beeline for Le Chiffre, standing behind him. And giving the banker a poke, just because.

"What is this, a Mexican standoff?" asks the man who is apparently too engrossed in the book to notice that someone is staring at him and that that someone is getting poked.

Apparently.

Le Chiffre is very tempted to pull Villiers over the back of the sofa. But that would be neither graceful, or effortless, so he chooses instead to tilt his head back to look up at the other, arch a brow and continuing his staring at Villiers instead.

He can even reply to the question with taking his gaze off the aide. "Hardly.." And he can even give questions in return, "Not Shakespeare again, I hope?"

Is that...is that a mustache?

M wanders over and blinks, no book in hand, but a large mug of tea. She sits in an armchair near.

"I never thought you would consider a mustache a good idea."

Skinner looks up from his book to the short lady sitting nearby and shoots her a look full of question marks.

She should probably duck. The question marks are heavy.

[imissthecoldwar]

She's short. Ducking is not needed.

Still, those are Dangerous Things to be throwing about a bar, Mr. Skinner.

M would make a comment about Bond not having aged well, but she does have tact, thank you. A sip of her tea.

"Just an observation, don't act as if I've decided to ship you off to Siberia for three months."

[slasherofprices]

Uh skuze me he has aged verreh well ktnhx this pic iz just not flatterin.

Blink blink blink. "--who are you?"

[slasherofprices]

If Simon was supposed to say something, he's quite forgotten.

So he's just staring.

And not really registering that his clothes have changed, too.
