SEVENTY-FIVE

[tehpuck]

Ah, City, must I say I'm disappointed? How long have I been gone, a year, a month, a week, a day? And what have you done in your spare time? Have you prepared at all? Have you done nothing?

No parade?

Shameful. Though I suppose I'll forgive you with time if you produce a harem quickly enough. Well? Snap to it.

[ooc Yeah, I totally finished that

[banditfox]

There is no possible way we can produce a harem to your exacting standards soon enough.

How are you?

[banditfox]

[Waits patiently for Robin at the designated location, a bottle of wine and two glasses in hand.]

[tehpuck]

[Robin appears with a flourish or hands and smiles, stopping in front or Kurama to, quite obviously, visually take him in.]

It has been far too long.

[banditfox]

A matter of a few days for me. Longer for you, I'm sure.

[He tolerates the visual once-over with good grace before offering Robin one of the glasses and making a visual inspection of his own.]

You look tired.

[tehpuck]

I'm sure you're knotted up with longing. Don't worry, it can be assuaged.

[He stares at the glass in his hand, before looking up to smile, again,] Not too tired for a harem.

[banditfox]

[The fox rolls his eyes and uncorks the wine.]

Unless your recuperative powers are as impressive as your libido, you should be too tired for a harem.

[Concerned glance.]

Or is that an old injury?

[tehpuck]

[He huffs,] They are.

New. [He pokes it gingerly before extending his wineglass.]

[banditfox]

Then my refusal of the harem stands.

[Fills Robin's glass before pouring a moderate amount of wine into his own.]

How long?

[tehpuck]

Your loss.

[He stares, bitterly, at his fingertips, having come recently from the wound at his neck,] Enough time to wand not to talk about it, anymore.

[Drinku!]

[banditfox]

[Silently accepts this as he sips at his own drink.]

I'm afraid you missed nothing spectacular other than Cal's temper.

[tehpuck]

Believe you me, that's nothing spectacular. At least, it isn't from what I can see on your face. If he was getting truly angered... [Was that shiver for dramatic effect or actual fear? Hell if I know.] You'd not look so calm.

[banditfox]

[Again, no comment, but Kurama tops off Robin's glass.]

There was a but of flooding on Thursday--the day you disappeared. It was intended to be romantic.

[tehpuck]

[He accepts with alacrity.]

I... I remember flooding. It was rather romantic. [Griiiiin.]

[banditfox]

Please, spare us both the puns I'm certain are dancing on the tip of your gilded tongue.

[tehpuck]

Gilded? And capable. It can-

[Is it midnight? I think it indeed is.]

...Kurama. What are you doing, here?

[banditfox]

[Stares at the wineglass in his and, the wineglass in Robin's hand, and the wine bottle on the ground between them.]

You didn't call for me?
