He's back :)

[There's a giant big-eye tuna silently stalking you, from the shadows.]

[Do you notice?]

[Fox silently hopes Gary is in-tuna with his intuition. Fox has plans to fillet him in his sleep.]

[Holding his nose, he watches the two walk off and calls out in his usual New York accent]

A journalist never forgets! You remember that, pal!

[He turns, picking up his tuna. You're on his list. >:(]

[She doesn't really understand the meaning of that sound Gary made, but if she did Elisa would probably find a little amusement in Gary calling Frank 'whipped'.]

[The girl speaks under her breath as she walks away with him] ...You didn't have to hit him.

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

[Fox turns and walks away with Elisa, still rather upset about the events that just unfolded. He keeps his voice down to a low growl as he turns his head to her.]

He deserved it.

[elisula.livejournal.com]

[As soon as they get a good distance away and turn a corner, Elisa raises her voice]

You overreacted.

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

[Fox folds his arms across his chest.]

I did no such thing.

[elisula.livejournal.com]

[Elisa looks over at Fox]

You can't just do that to every man that approaches me. If he knew I was with someone it would be a different story I guess...

But I was in the middle of politely turning him down when you came out of nowhere and punched the guy! If you had just let me handle it, none of that would have happened.

[She gives an exasperated sigh and just continues walking]

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

[He keeps walking with her]

He's lucky all I did was punch him...

[elisula.livejournal.com]

.... [Elisa stops and gives his arm a shove] Are you even listening to me?

Mr. McGolden was vulgar, yes. But at the time we were talking, he meant no harm. Just... drop it, okay?

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

[Fox stops and puts his hands up. He still sounds irritated.]

Fine. Consider it dropped.

[elisula.livejournal.com]

Good. [Elisa sighs]

...My next rest is coming in 2 days or less. [She continues walking]

Where were you headed before that incident with McGolden?

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

[Two days? Fox feels he's barely seen Elisa at all this cycle. He has been a bit preoccupied... Perhaps that was Ursula's intention though?]

Upstairs.

[elisula.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well I was just walking around, really...

...Are you busy?

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

Not any busier than I usually am.

Why?

[elisula.livejournal.com]

.....No reason.

Just asking, I guess. [She runs a hand through her hair and looks down the hall.]

'Spose I'll just... let you get upstairs, then.

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

I'll let Mama know he should be dropping by again soon.

[He clears his throat a bit, also looking down the hall.]

...Did you need me for something? What I'm doing can wait a little while...

[elisula.livejournal.com]

Not really. I mean, I don't need anything...

Just thought that... if you wanted, we could spend some time together.

[She rubs her neck] I'd rather not have... [gesturing to the direction they just came from] that be my last experience with you before my rest, you know?

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

Let's spend some time together then... We haven't had much of a chance, have we?

[elisula.livejournal.com]

No, we haven't.

[She smiles a little] Any place you'd like to go? Unless the usual is just fine with you.

[zanzibarasshole.livejournal.com]

The usual is acceptable... I could use a coffee though.

[elisula.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind one myself.

[Elisa smiles, and starts walking again]
