Things I have learned:
- Photographers are just evil- pure, pure evil.
- You can always tell when two people are in love- it’s in the way you look at that person.
- I think I’ve found more trouble in Europe than fun.
- Depends on the photographer.
- Oh really now? You know, I’ve…
Oh, hello Lee.
Depends on the—depends on the photographer? Lee, that man was an absolute menace- I mean what kind of person gets that much enjoyment out of trashing the reputations of innocent people?
Being me, in this instance.Come on, you play poker, don’t you? Everyone has a tell. I mean, some people blush, other people fidget- I think you have a thing for hand-contact—*coughs* I mean, some people…have thing for…holding hands and…touching hands.
I do too- Amanda, your logic is eating itself.Why yes, I did have a good time. I got to see many things in Munich- beer halls, architecture, the inside of a jail cell? *Dry tone* THAT was a fun time!
Oh hello Amanda! Fancy seeing you here *big insincere smile*. What, no little league games, no bake sales? My my my, you seem to be branching out in the social world! What’s next? Graduating to this decade’s fashion?
Oh. *Same, sheepish smile* Hello, Francine. *Polite tone* No, nothing like that today… Just…you know, came by. Hoping there might be something I could do— I did bring in some cookies, though. Everyone seemed to like the apple pie so much I thought I’d, you know, branch out into something a little more community friendly!
…*glances down a moment, soft tone* What’s wrong with my clothes?
((I hate being mean T____T))
Oh, nothing….
if you’re going for frump chic. Have you seen Lee? Billy asked me to give him some information on the Rothkirk caseIt’s comfortable and I remember reading in a magainze at the doctor’s office that if it’s not comfortable, you shouldn’t wear it. *Affirmative nod before glancing around* I…really have no idea where Lee got to- but I’m accustomed to him just…appearing and disappearing that I really didn’t notice.
Of course you noticed, Amanda- you’re not fooling anyone.Oh? Well that’s a good thing yes, Francine? Will you go into the field on this experience this time?
He does seem to run off at the weirdest times, doesn’t he?…*suddenly bristles at the unintentional camaraderie* Oh I’m sure of it! After all, it would be silly to waste an agent of my caliber! Besides, it’s a social function. Princes, diplomats—all kinds of important people, nothing you’d be interested in! *smiles*
Oh well, I’ve been to plenty of social functions lately because of my work here- it’s my only chance to really get to wear dresses. Though I always find that they become a lot more trouble than I expect. *Small smile* Is it true that you were almost engaged to a prince once? I remember Mr. Melrose joking about it-
*pops back over holding two cups of coffee, one of which he offers to Amanda* I’m here, I’m here… I just thought that those cookies you brought by would go well with a cup of coffee.
Francine, I’ve got a perfectly good desk with a perfectly good inbox. Unless the info on the Rothkirk case is vital—which I’m guessing it isn’t, considering you seem to have enough time to take shots at Amanda’s outfit—you should try using it next time.
*sips his coffee* Although, I’m sure you’ll be as good as ever at that gathering. It’s your specialty, after all.
*Takes the coffee with a smile- both at the gesture and the leap to her defense about her clothing, sipping the coffee to conceal said smile before hiding her scrunched up face* There’s no—*Stops herself before she says anything and gives a smile* Such good coffee, Lee- really.
* tries to cover her shock at Lee’s willingness to come to Amanda’s defense* Actually, Lee, if you’d read the information you’d know Billy wants you on this case. And you’ll need backup. I have this lovely dress picked out too *big smile*
((lol, everyone hates me XD))
