From:

knowmyplace

Wonderful. Grazie.

From:

planetdialup

Welcome!

[And a few hours later:]

Cookies are done! Where should I deliver them?

From:

knowmyplace

Oh! How expedient.

I am in the common room at present. Third floor.

From:

planetdialup

On my way! Hope you're comfortable.

Be there shortly!

[And she's off! There's a thermos filled with coffee too with her basket full of cookies.]

Iago, yes?

From:

knowmyplace

Iago is lounging in a chair, an unmarked book in hand. He raises his eyebrows when she approaches and sets it aside with a smile. "I did not expect you this soon," he remarks playfully.

From:

planetdialup

"Ah, well. Ovens are very handy."

She beamed at him, offering him the basket. The cookies were still warm, offering the sweet scent of the freshly baked.

"Plus, I wanted to meet you in person. What can I say? I was excited!"

Her laugh was light and bright, clearly at ease.

From:

knowmyplace

He smiles back at her, taking the basket. "Well, you don't expect me to eat these alone, do you? You must enjoy the fruits of your labor."

From:

planetdialup

"Well, thank you! I'll be glad to join you."

Couldn't go wrong with company and cookies.

She sat down, tucking her skirt under her as she did. "So, what have you been reading? I haven't done much reading myself."

From:

knowmyplace

He puts the book aside and sits forward. "I'm reading the Crucible now. We didn't have the option of simply leisurely reading, unless it was the Bible, at home. I am enjoying the chance to go through the various texts."

From:

planetdialup

"The Bible...oh! Right! That's the religious book!"

She nodded. She knew of it, more or less."I didn't get much time to read either, so-I'm glad we have the library."

She beamed at him. "Are you enjoying the Crucible? Anything else you really enjoyed reading?"

From:

knowmyplace

"That's right," he tells her with a gentle smile. "I've finished an adventure book - Journey to the Center of the Earth, that I found quite interesting."

From:

planetdialup

"Yeah- we don't have anything like that at home. But- I'll have to put that on my list to read. The Journey to the Center of the Earth I mean." She offered a smile.

"It sounds like a fantasy, but a very fun read."

From:

knowmyplace

"I'm not sure," he laughs. "Have you spoken with some of the people here? They're fantasy characters, every one!"

From:

planetdialup

"Oh, I might be one of them then." She offered as a gentle tease. "Or maybe you are to some people?"

From:

knowmyplace

He puts a hand to his chest. "Oh no. I'm just a soldier from the distant past. Are you familiar with Trevor Belmont? We're only a century or so apart, though he deals more with the supernatural than I do. Ghosts and...and strange creatures and such."

From:

planetdialup

"Oh yes, I'm familiar with him." She smiled. "What kind of supernatural creatures? It sounds pretty...bizarre."

From:

knowmyplace

He holds up his hands. "He has names for them. I am not familiar with them at all."

From:

planetdialup

"Awww." She laughed. "I thought he told you stories about them!"

From:

knowmyplace

"He did, but there was - alcohol involved," he admits, a little sheepish.

From:

planetdialup

"Aaaah." She peered at him. "Do you have a hangover? I can help with that."

From:

knowmyplace

"Oh! No, not at all. I don't overindulge in drink. It makes for a loose tongue. But Trevor is - in a difficult place," he explains.

From:

planetdialup

"He most...certainly is." She sighed, tucking a hair behind her ear. "I'm surprised. I'd have thought you would have drunk with him. Did he need help leaving, in the end?"

He might have fallen asleep or just passed out. Because, well...Trevor.

From:

knowmyplace

"One of us needed to stay clearheaded. He told me he would be walking back upstairs, so I assume he made it somewhere else. He wasn't intending on staying in the speakeasy."

From:

planetdialup

"Good to know. I'd hate for him to get himself in trouble or some sort of danger."

She frowned. "But you didn't go with him? If it wasn't to help..."

Her frown deepened.

From:

knowmyplace

He raises his hands.

"I'm not certain what you're talking about now," he says with a hesitant smile. "I knew Trevor was having a hard time, so I joined him for a drink. We talked about monsters and the nature of the Admiral. He said he was fine, I needed to leave, so I made sure he had a plan. I didn't think he'd appreciate me treating him like a child."
