[Have a nice, interior shot of a very full passionné and a swivel to a very happy Cinna, standing on the stairs to the second floor.]

Well, I'll certainly say this is a nice way to cap off that week. Full house all around, my reputation must precede me.

If there's anyone here that would like to say hello, I'll be here at the shop, come on by.

Can I say hello here, Cinna?

[threadthefire]

Seneca Crane, I'm honored. Welcome to the City.

[See that smile on his face? It will NEVER WAVER, despite the fact that he's cursing inside.]

[makesthegame]

I'm honored to be here. Taking care of my tributes?

[threadthefire]

Always, I'd hate to disappoint.

[and_identity]

How nice to see a master at work.

[threadthefire]

Thank you, anything tempt your fancy?

[and_identity]

I'm not really one for temptation, to tell you the truth. But it's the nature of the artist to want his works appraised, isn't it?

[threadthefire]

I suppose, although most artists I know create for the sake of creation's sake. Appraisal is nice, but the act it self is what's important.

Do you need me to come in? Oh Aces isn't very busy today.

I will never say no to a visit from a lady as lovely and talented as yourself. How are you faring?

[She may be able to detect the slightest bit of tension in his voice. Strangers wold miss it, but they're hardly strangers are they?]

[sings4dragons]

Fair enough. The people that visited here seemed quite interested in my fire lizards. Needless to say, they didn't stay long.

[locked]

Are you alright? You sound... strained.

voice

[threadthefire]

They are fascinating creatures, well worth being interested in.

[locked]

I'm fine. Someone I didn't expect to see has arrived is all.

[Angela still manages to know exactly how to hide her identity on the City's network even if it's been a while since she last remembers being here. How long has it been? At least a year by the shape and size of her stomach and the ring on her left hand. However long it's been, Angela can't help but take a peek of Cinna looking as regal and happy as ever, surrounded by fashion and clients.

It's good to see him still here. It's even better to see him happy. It was all she wanted before. It's still what she wants for him. As much as she wants to say hello, it's better that she not say anything at all. So she closes the connection, remembering her past with a smile.]

[what no hideousness? do you not know where you are?]

[threadthefire]

audio; [actually, i can remedy that without breaking him! or past her!]

[artsyfartsybaby]

[Angela being Angela means she's the queen of bad decisions and she turns the device back on, keeping it strictly to audio. No need for face to face conversations today. So much for ignoring the temptation.]

Somebody looks happy today.

audio; [splendid! but the lost potential for drama...]

[threadthefire]

Of course I am, my shop is full of people who adore me. Care to join them?

[clothiers]

That leaves one question, Cinna. Where is your shop?

And for that matter, where are we?

[threadthefire]

Portia, darling, welcome to the City. My shop is off the square, where are you?

[clothiers]

Near an extravagant fountain. It's lovely.

I'm beginning to think this is a dream though. That would be the only explanation, wouldn't it?

Or that I've lost my mind.

[threadthefire]

It's a common thought for those who have just arrived. But I assure you, you are as sane as when we last saw each other, whenever that was.
