Second Deception // Action | Accidental Voice

[aureatus]

[Mrs. Coulter is walking home from a long day around town, and she is carrying numerous bags. Some contain groceries, but mostly they are filled with clothing. It seems that the bags are too heavy for her. Indeed, - and just when you happen to look - she stumbles and the bags fall to the ground. Her journal also falls, and it now lies open a

[She looks up - she didn't notice you there.]

It's a good thing I'm prepared for it, then.

[aureatus]

[ooc: oh fuck this is what I get for alternating watching Glee while tagging. sorry about that.]

I'm merely retrieving my own clothing from the shops.

[After all, they're already cut and tailored for her.]

[targetprime]

[Hey, Ramirez is a classy guy at least for now he is. He can't just watch a lady fall and then leave. So have him also bending down to help.]

Are you all right, madam?

[aureatus]

[She's fine, but have a grateful smile your way when you bend down to help.]

I'm all right. The path just isn't very even.

[targetprime]

It certainly isn't. I'm glad you are unharmed.

[And here, he'll put your things into a neat pile for you. Though if they're mostly clothes, they may have to remain unfolded. He probably doesn't really know how.]

[aureatus]

[She'll start putting the clothes back in the bags, giving no indication that he might be doing it wrong.]

Thank you.

[Voice]

[illusionsofice]

I suppose so. I know someone who could tell you whether or not it's going to snow tomorrow.

[Voice]

[aureatus]

[She glances around for the location of the voice, and finds her journal lying open a few feet from her.]

And who might this "someone" be?

[Voice]

[illusionsofice]

[there's a pause as he tried to remember the person's name] Who was his name again? [he mumbled to himself]

Ah...I forgot to ask his name. [he said rather sheepishly] I'm sorry.

[Voice]

[aureatus]

It's quite all right.

[She picks up her journal so that she could see who she's talking to.]

What makes you think it's going to snow?

[miamijustice]

[And because he is a damned classy guy H is going to help her collect the stuff from her bags. Because he just happened to be out and about-]

[aureatus]

[Mrs. Coulter looks up and greets him with a smile once she notices an extra pair of hands helping her.]

Thank you, Mr. Caine. [And yes, she is aware that she had asked him to call her "Marisa".]

[miamijustice]

Not a problem.

[He notes that. Good times...]

[aureatus]

[She stands up, smoothing her skirt in the process.]

How are you?

[hereisariddle]

[Tom bends down to retrieve her journal, and holds it out to her.]

Would you like some help with those?

[Playing nice with the Muggles, he is.]

[aureatus]

[And she will play the helpless Muggle part perfectly, casting a desperate glance at the things that are strewn across the ground before taking the journal from you.]

I would appreciate it, thank you.

[Action] ... that I very much forgot pff

[hereisariddle]

[And he'll play the part of the perfect gentleman just as well.]

You're quite welcome.

[Although instead of bending over to pick up the rest of her bags, he simply, and silently, lifts them from the ground with a simple gesture, although they are a bit low to the ground.]

[Action]

[aureatus]

[Showing off, hmm? Mrs. Coulter will look impressed for your sake. She takes them from where they were floating in the air.]

That is a convenient skill you have.
