A Long-Awaited Introduction

[vicioussweetie]

Ali is not pacing. No. People only pace when they're nervous about something. Ali's just stretching her legs. Really.

The fact that she's waiting for Jas to arrive, and has nearly chewed off her lower lip, is entirely coincidental.

*In contrast, the man she's waiting for practically struts up, looking proud and internally amused by something. He's wearing a variation on his usual pirate finery today: there's a heavy black sweater over the usual shirt, and the black brocade coat is one of the thicker ones. He raises a hand that is gauntleted in black leather in greeting as he approaches*

Hello, Ali.

Ali smiles brightly, wrapping her arms around him just as soon as she can. "Hello love. I'm glad you came. Are you ready?"

*He submits to being hugged with extremely good grace, and regards her fondly. My, he is in a good mood. A shame that's probably going to change!*

Of course. Lead the way, and I will meet your friends. *his tone is still that bantering good-natured purr which sounds odd on his lips*

"Okay. This first though." She holds up a piece of chocolate. "Eat this and you'll be able to see them."
