Steph wanders downstairs, making a bee-line for the bar and for coffee. The new addition to the decor gets a curious glance before she turns back to her caffeine ( Read more... )

Bar is great. Steph's smile could almost match his for delight. Although her delight is partly at seeing him smile.

She has a soft spot for kids. ... A soft spot the size of Uluru.

"How long've you lived here?" she asks curiously, once she's slurped enough to satisfy the immediate chocolate-NOW feeling.

Steph's headed straight for the trees. It's not the same as scaling a skyscraper, but it's height, and Steph's always gone high for comfort.

Only - she's feeling kind of sick, and - she stops at the base of her preferred climbing tree, pressing a hand against the bark, trying to concentrate on breathing and not doubling over. She's oblivious to being followed. (Batman would be very stern if he knew.)

He stops a foot or so away, both mugs in his hands, watching her uncertainly.

"Are... are you okay?"

i_spoiled_it August 26 2006, 14:16:33 UTC

Steph jumps.

"Um. Yes. No. Uh. ... I'll be fine."

street_sparrow August 26 2006, 14:20:40 UTC

"You don't look fine..."

He offers the hot chocolate, hopefully.

i_spoiled_it August 26 2006, 14:23:53 UTC

Steph shakes her head, but maages "Thanks. Um." She just needs to hold this tree up a bit, you see. No spare hands.

"...I will be. I'm just - I didn't - I didn't think that was even - even possible."

street_sparrow August 26 2006, 14:25:33 UTC

"I don't think it is... much. But there's a few people, who're really powerful and... I'm sorry?"

i_spoiled_it August 26 2006, 14:30:01 UTC

She shakes her head at him again, looking slightly calmer. "Yeah. No. I mean, I should've known. I should've figured it out or something. I just. I didn't ... didn't realise."

street_sparrow August 26 2006, 14:30:46 UTC

"Are you...?" he asks hesitantly.

i_spoiled_it August 26 2006, 14:35:16 UTC

Steph nods, and clings to the tree. "I got. I was all. Back home, I mean, I got caught. Stupid. And - yeah."

And it's not necessarily permanent and and and ... she might be hyperventilating a little now.

street_sparrow August 26 2006, 14:37:05 UTC

Gavroche eyes her.

"You... you should maybe try to drink some more of this. Make you feel better."

He might be trying to remember if there are any spells to stop people hyperventilating.

i_spoiled_it August 26 2006, 14:42:53 UTC

Steph nods again, and manages a bit of a smile this time. "Hot chocolate. Heals all," she says, wryly, and reaches gratefully for the cup, cold fingers wrapping tightly around it. "Thanks."

street_sparrow August 26 2006, 14:45:58 UTC

He nods, relieved, and wraps both hands around his own cup.

"Welcome."

i_spoiled_it August 26 2006, 14:48:39 UTC

Steph's quiet for a little.

"You said ... you had to take an oath?"

Not that she's considering it for herself! She just - has to find out about this. She has to. She has to know.

street_sparrow August 26 2006, 14:53:34 UTC

"...that was a separate thing", he says slowly, thinking the answer out. "It was why he did it. But it wasn't... part of it. The Oath was to make me a wizard."

i_spoiled_it August 26 2006, 14:56:08 UTC

She nods, taking this in. "He just - did it? Because you fought Desh-Theire?"
