[there is a couch, one of many. This one, though, has been claimed by Delia, who is idly swinging her legs in the air as she reads]

[Shakespeare's plays, if you must know. Mary Anne has her curious.]

[...care to guess which play she's reading?]

Parker tilts his head when he sits down, says, "Shakespeare?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[her legs pause for a moment, and then swing up again.]

Shakespeare.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker leans back until he's staring at the ceiling. "King Lear?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"Orthello?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Wrong again.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"Midsummer Night's Dream?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

You've gone past 'third time lucky' now.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"And almost run out of plays I know." Squinting at the ceiling, he says, "One more guess and then you tell me, Lady Li?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[a dimpled smile]

Of course.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"Romeo and Juliet," he guesses.

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Very well done.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker mock clutches at his heart. "And when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine, that all the world will be in love with night..."

Shrugging he says, "And then a lot of stuff I don't remember."

"Delia, my dear," and there's a scruffy blond beaming at her. "How does it fare with thee?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[she glances up at him, and grins]

fairly well. Yourself? And, should I move my legs so you can sit?

[that-valentine.livejournal.com]

"I could sit upon thee," he observes, "but then I thould squash thee. Which would not be pleasant. As thou would then be squashed, and I should have to cary thee."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[she twists her head over to her shoulder to eye her shoes]

Not to mention my heels will probably hurt. Very well, I shall move.

[with a long suffering sight, she pushes herself up and curls into a corner]

There.

[that-valentine.livejournal.com]

Valentine sprawls across the entirety of the couch, laying his head in her lap, and smiling up at her.

"What hast thee so engrossed, my dear?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

A, uh, book on plays, actually.

[that-valentine.livejournal.com]

"Oh?" He cranes his head to see.

"Interesting?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

The hero I dislike - I've known too many like him.

[that-valentine.livejournal.com]

Valentine still can't see the book properly.

"And what is the play you are reading?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

RomeoandJuliet.

[that-valentine.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Valentine sits up a little. "Mercutio said there was a play about them. And him. Although I think my part in all of that was so small as to not have been worth mention."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Mercutio and his brother Valentine is all it says.
