Ariadne | Inception

[anewshade]

[anewshade]

[Ari is also on alert as they walk along. Mostly her function in his particular mission is just to lend legitimacy to Eames being there (a man without a date tends to stick out more). But that doesn't mean she's just going to stand idly by and let him do all the work.]

While you're scoping out the guest of honor, should I be taking notes on the design of the place you think?

[eamesofdreams]

Mm. Might come in handy, make it subtle like. We don't want the management thinking you're scoping the place out. [ Grinning. ] They might get tetchy about a rival architect.

[anewshade]

I'll give it the wide-eyed, "I have no idea what I'm looking at but I'm impressed" look. They'll have no idea.

[eamesofdreams]

Ah. That old trick. [ With the smallest of grins. ] I'm sure they'll be bowled over by your innocence, darling.

[anewshade]

What can I say? I just have that kind of face.

[eamesofdreams]

[ Glancing at her for a moment before he smiles, angles the umbrella better. ] That you do.

[anewshade]

I guess looking like a fifteen year-old comes in handy sometimes.

[eamesofdreams]

Not fifteen. [ A teasing, considering noise. ] Sixteen, at the very least.

[anewshade]

[Huffs out and pokes her elbow against his side playfully.]

You're funny.

[eamesofdreams]

[ With a faux happy sigh. ] I do try, I do try. So, what do you think of the job? Stretching your creativity yet?

[anewshade]

Well, it's not inception (no job could really compare to what they had done on that one), but it's better than if I decided to take a normal job at an architectural firm.

[eamesofdreams]

So you're not likely to go back to the civilian lifestyle, mm?

[anewshade]

[She shrugs.]

Not right now.

What about you? Ever have a yearning for the normal things in life? Nine to five, wife, house, kids?

[eamesofdreams]

There are several things wrong with that statement , Ariadne. [ Teasing slightly. ] More than a few.

[anewshade]

Oh? [She knows it, but she never gets to hear him talk about himself (his real self, not the cheeky, egotist he makes himself out to be) much so she'll prompt him to elaborate.]
