I know better than to play with Mother's things. [ Waves a hand through the air. ] Run along now.

[mr_haverbrooke]

If you insist. Toodles, Georgie.

[ms_lefevre]

You shouldn't encourage him with conversation, you know.

[lyingyouth]

He was being irritating. I thought I would return the favor, my dear. That's all.

[ms_lefevre]

He is always being irritating, Georgie. And he never has anything interesting to say.

[lyingyouth]

He wanted to know about my earlier proposition. Such dull business, I know.

[ms_lefevre]

He would. Putting his snotty little nose where it doesn't belong. You weren't really serious, were you, Georgie? [ A beat. Then perhaps with more weight: ] Were you?

[lyingyouth]

[ He puffs his cigarette nonchalantly. ]

You know that I joke about many things, Bernie. Bloodlines aren't one of them.

[ms_lefevre]

[ Perhaps a bit more seriously: ]

You aren't concerned about my blood, Georgie?

[lyingyouth]

If I was a complete bastard I could ask you about it right now, couldn't I?

[ms_lefevre]

Je vous en prie.

[lyingyouth]

[ He lifts an eyebrow at her; narrows his eyes. ]

Are you a pureblood, Bernadette? Or are you a liar? [ Georgie smiles. ] Though given your coven, I imagine both could be true.

[ms_stclair]

[ Mildly, with a subtle shift in the air of her words: ]

I am a pureblood. And a liar.

[lyingyouth]

[ Georgie stares at her for a moment. ]

And will your children be liars?

[ms_stclair]

[ Unintimidated: ] My children will be precisely what they need to be.
