Then there is me, that is Alex. I had just ittied back from some of the starry ultra-violence, and decided a cold milk-plus would by a dobby ending to the nochy, so Your Humble Narrator slides into a booth, and soviets a cold odin.


{OOC: I'm attempting to play Alex in first person, so this very well might be bloody shambles. :D}

"AJ has the files,"

Random says as he collapses into a seat nearby. He looks, not to put too fine a point on it, like shit. It's been a bad few days.

"Whenever you happen to be ready. She'll get in touch with you. Good?"

"If you could meet my dear brothers, Alex, you would not have to ask."

He runs a hand through his hair for the ninety billionth time, and manages to crack a smile.

"Any of the remaining eight or six dead."

"Well, Corwin died a bit ago. We think Eric, another brother, paternally at least because Dad was a whore back in the day, killed him so we're all over looking for the corpse. Good blackmail material. Eric's making a very strong bid for the throne, and a murder just might upset his chances a little. All of us want the crown for ourselves, but are more than willing to band together to avoid King Eric. Enemy of my enemy and all that."

Random rambles when he's tired.

"Hopefully, I won't join the body count for a while, huh?"

Random laughs, thin and drawn out.

"Never wish you were royalty, love."

He shrugs.

"Anyways. Met your lady fair commander yet?"

"I'm very glad. She's a good kid. Despite past differences."

Ah, fun times.

"Is that so?"

Random looks at him, measuringly, to see whether this means just what it sounds like or something else.

"I'll take your word for it," says Random wryly, and decides it's best not to ask.

"I noticed she looked banged up."

"Nothing less, love."

He grins.

"She's something. If you hit her, you'll manage just fine."

"It was more an affirmation than a question. 'Since you hit her' would have been more clear. I'm not in an excellent head space right now."

He shakes his head, as though to get the blood flowing.

"Blonde. American. Sharper sense of humour, bedroom eyes."

Different. Similar and different.

"Depends with what. Hand to hand? Fair. AJ with a handheld. Mary Anne's crack on with a rifle or a knife. And she goes armed."

He laughs.

"Got her a bikini and a rifle both for Christmas."

"Mary Anne, you don't want her near you with the long one. She can get anything."

Random says nothing about himself.
