Comments

[elmelloiprincess]

Not terribly long, I managed to convince someone to give me a lift, although the ride was just brutal. Couldn't you have chosen a more conveniently placed property? Really, now.

[gordianknots]

Reines, the number of reasons I'm out here would astound you.

[And he smiles, thin and razor sharp.]

But to give the short version of why I'm out here? I'm against the courts, of course.

[elmelloiprincess]

Of course you are, you're always trouble.

[Finally she turns to Waver again and locks eyes with him. But it isn't to tell him off for being a troublemaker. He's forgetting something very important that she shouldn't have to ask for.]

[gordianknots]

You'd hate me if I wasn't shit stirring, Reines.

[He smiles, tired, sleep dust still in his eyes.]

Forgive me not doing the usual host stuff. I don't want to wake up everyone else.

[elmelloiprincess]

[She smiles, dripping with false sweetness. It's true, she loves him for it.]

You won't offer even a cup of tea to your dear, sweet little sister, who's travelled so long and so far just to see you? What a cruel man you've grown to be!

[gordianknots]

[Damn right she does.]

Starting a fire will take too long, and our resident willow o the wisp is asleep in Rin's room.

[Waver knows he's going to English hell for this.]

Unless you want ice cold tea, Reines.

[elmelloiprincess]

[A clear pout crosses her face as Reines crosses her arms, tapping her fingers against her elbow.] Where's your maid?

[gordianknots]

Also resting.

[elmelloiprincess]

I'm certain Miss Mercury would want to see me.

[She presses her lips together, sighs, and flops into a chair.]

What poor timing.

[gordianknots]

Kind of an understatement, Reines.

[He sighs, and nudges her gently.]

C'mon, my study's upstairs. We need to catch up, and establish when you are in relation to me. Second and Fifth magic is rife in this place.

[elmelloiprincess]

[Can't you see she just sat down? Rude. With another heavy sigh, she gets to her feet.]

Alright, lead me there. You'd best have a bed made up when we finish. And tea sent in the morning.

[A flippant way to say she'll gladly talk with him for hours upon hours.]

[gordianknots]

[Waver grabs her coat and other things before leading her back, into the kitchen and then up the stairs. He pauses, long enough to put the coat in the guest room, then continues down the corridor to the study.

Waver unlocks the door, the usual runes and wards lighting up around the door frame for a moment before disappearing. The door opens, and he stands aside for Reines.]

The guest room is yours until we expand. After you, as always.

[elmelloiprincess]

[Reines dips her head in acknowledgement of his courtesy, and immediately takes a seat. She would look through Waver's things, but she'll wait until he isn't around for that.]

Good, I don't plan to remain a guest.

[gordianknots]

[Waver settles on the sofa, casting a brief glance to the coffee table. A map of the Drabwurld is under the glass, now with annotations of spires and a citadel.]

We're already quite full. Rin's here, has been since October. My servant from the 4th Holy Grail War, Rider, is also living here. I'll introduce you to him tomorrow. And I've been here for nine months, Reines. Since April.

[elmelloiprincess]

[Her gaze follows, and then she leans forward to get a better look, taking it all in.]

Now you have all your favourite people here, how wonderful.

[She'll make a few other comments about Rider specifically, but later.]

Nine months. I saw you only the other day. Second Magic indeed.

[Damn it and such.]

[gordianknots]

Along with some non-favourites. Kayneth is alive and well here. You'll need to meet with him, I'm sure, and he doesn't know that I am Waver Velvet, he only knows me as Lord El-Melloi II.

[He looks at Reines, the unspoken request to not tell him that information clear in his eyes.

Onto other topics.]

To what won't be your surprise, I've begun an information network to work against both courts and forestall the war.
