[The room behind Eli is decorated with a few Christmas lights and ornaments: a candy cane or two, some crystal stars, mistletoe. It's minimalistic but adequately festive for the Imperial household; at the edge of the room is a box and wrappings — this room has clearly just been decorated.

Eli runs a hand through his hair, nervous but content. There is a smear of red lipstick on his cheek that he has been trying to wipe off for forty minutes. This is his life now.]


I can't remember the last —week and a half? Two weeks?— very well. But I know that I caused some trouble as a, uh, glowing horse. With eight legs.

[Eli looks away from the camera, mouth pressed into a thin line.]

I'm sorry, and if you want me to pay or help fix anything please contact me. I don't know how else to make up for all the garden destruction.

[...]

And how do you fix cravings from being a horse? I walked by a flower shop and the roses looked really appetising.

No. Thank god.

I was up in space when the madness started and I seem to have escaped being affected even after I returned.

Indeed I am. Though I'm not from his world.

[Which didn't seem to matter really.]

Or is it universe? Considering the whole space aspect.

Well, that's good to know.

[She smiles in return.]

Over the network initially. Then I invited him to have a look at the antique shop I run since it seems to have items that your universe doesn't.

Oh, he's definitely a charmer alright.

[Bela could delve into the reasons why that was but she restrains herself. Eli didn't need to hear them.]

I have some pieces of art but it all depends what you're into.

No, it doesn't really count. [A smile.] Nice to meet you too.

You do? Well, I must insist that he comes to visit my shop whenever he can. What's his name?

Can't say I've heard of him before.

Would I need to address him by his title or does he not use it here?

Okay then. I'll send you the address of the shop.

What's your name by the way? I forgot to ask before.

[personal profile] cleptes 2017-12-20 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's me. Hi.

[She quickly texts him the address.]

You're also very welcome to stop by the shop too by the way.

I can teach you. Or give a brief rundown if necessary.
cleptes: ((9))

[personal profile] cleptes 2017-12-22 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I would be happy to do that. In person perhaps? It means I can show you some of the antiques as well.

I am sure that your mentor would appreciate it too. Just let me know when you're free and we can arrange a time.

After New Years would be better. I'm taking a bit of a long break during the holiday season.

[Which is funny, considering that her shop hasn't been open properly for almost two months now.]

The more the merrier, by the way. Bring along your other friend if you think they'd be interested.
