[After a moment he window creaks open and a familiar metallic face peeks through.]

L.. Iolanthe! What are you doing here?

[sonvisage]

Take a walk with me.

[It was supposed to be a question. An invitation. It sounds like an order. Everything is coming out wrong.]

Would you? I can meet you downstairs. If you're not busy with something.

[tin_boy]

I'll... be right down.

[He backs out slowly, and the window shuts.]

She waits. Downstairs before he is, a shadowed silhouette against more shadow, cloaked, quiet and eager to be away.

She's already moving toward the city by the time he's reached the door. Her face is impassive, but her steps are quick. Fingers tremble against the air - could be from the chilly turn the weather's taken lately. Could just as easily be something else.
