Heyyyyyyyyy, you know who you've got, babe. Say what you've gotta say.

[A long pause.

Shuffling.

Cloth.

Clatter.


Another long pause.


The actual cacophony of Finch's dorm.

And if you haven't hung up YET:]

Saints! Is this still o-?

[BEEEEEEEEEP.]

KennedyRonan: I am very embarrassed to read you say something like that but I suppose I can’t be too embarrassed since I did reach out to you. But please have some discretion for a time. I do not think he’s the type to get embarrassed but I will be by later tonight.

WithStyle: He is absolutely not. Well, not in the usual ways.
WithStyle: I wouldn't ruin it for the world. See you soon.

[ later… a knock knock on Finch door, hesitant. ]

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

[Jesper answers the door. He has that bright, healthy glow and nearly manic air he always gets after using his powers.]

Oh EXCELLENT timing. I'm almost done.

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

Did. . . I come too early?

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

Right on time.

[He steps aside and leads her into the chaos of Finch.

The fabric on the worktable looks SO silky. And very blue.]

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

Oh. . . wow. . . .

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

I know, I know! Speechless. But WAIT until we get it on you.

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

Oh. Right. I'm . . . going to wear it.

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

[If she lets him, he'll pick up one of her hands and kisses the top of it. Light and playful.]

And when you do, he's not going to be able to look at anyone, or anywhere else.

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

[ he definitely can and she seems both shocked by that and his words ]

You think so. . .?

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

I know so. [He squeezes her hand lightly and lets go.]

If you want to try it on, there's the bathroom right down the way.

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

You. . . um. Thank you. . .

[ hesitates before gently picking it up and heading for the bathroom to change ]

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

[He drapes himself over a chair to wait. What's he doing in the mean time? Honestly, probably spamming NNK with sniktok videos he finds.]

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

[ it doesn't take her too long to change but she spends an extra moment fidgeting before coming out. And even then she hangs near the bathroom door. ]

Does. . . it look all right on me?

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

Oh...

Saints. That really DOES work out, doesn't it?

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

It. . . you made it so nicely but am I. . . am I doing it justice?

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

[He pushes up out of his chair and walks around her, looking for fit and areas he might have to take in...]

Hold still.

[And he reaches out to fffffiiiiiiixxxxxx................... nothing happens.]

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

Huh?

[ she stays still

waiting, for something to happen, ]

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

[WHY DOES HE ALWAYS FORGE- oh yeah he's left grisha none powers in comparison to most people her.]

I'll just get some pins, hold that there.

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

Oh. Um. Sorry.

[ does as he asks, not fidgeting but shifting her weight back and forth ]


It's not. . . too difficult is it?

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

I can pretend it is. [He comes back with a small set of pins. He gathers some of the fabric up at her side, and fixes it into place one pin at a time.]

I've got a knack for drama.

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

That's. . . good, right? Um, theater and all. . .

Re: day 74

[hottest_shot]

I've gotten to be an actor now and then. It's pretty fun.

Arms up a second?

Re: day 74

[inhibiting]

In a television show or. . . movie? Wait, um, on stage?

[ slowly raises her arms ]
