The door opens, and Urquhart and Moist come in, carrying several bags -- carpet bags, saddle bags, bags of coin, and a bucket of freshly caught fish.

Urquhart is wearing rough leather trousers, a billowy yellow silk shirt, and a huge double headed axe. He's got his arm around Moist, who is grinning like the cat who got not only one canary but a cageful.


Franz is jumping around them, barking cheerfully, happy to be with both his humans, and back in the place he knows best.

They are all in a very good mood.

"Being safe, and sitting them out," Urquhart says. "That is a good idea."

[forgottenmotley]

"Unless we need them," the Fool adds. Because sometimes you need to knock someone around.

Even if they are your friends.

[morethanprops]

"True, Urquhart is better at that than I am."

[scots_wolf]

"I' just bigger and don't get knocked around as easily," Urquhart says.

There are some things that knock him around almost every time, but he won't talk about that to the Fool. Bad enough that Moist had to put up with him that one time.

[forgottenmotley]

Sure fine, don't tell the Fool anything. See how he feels.

"And I'm just a slight thing with a bad leg," he says with a grin.

[morethanprops]

"Of course you are, terribly innocent and nothing to be afraid of,"

Moist smirks and sips his champagne.

[scots_wolf]

"As we are all, actually, mostly harmless," Urquhart says. "And quite misunderstood, most of the time."

[forgottenmotley]

A smile twitches onto the Fool's face but he doesn't say anything.

"Yes, we're mostly harmless."

And fortunately none of them are familiar with the works of Douglas Adams to make a comment on it.

[morethanprops]

As Moist feels no reason to hide his smile, he smirks and leans against Urquhart,

"Exactly."

[scots_wolf]

Urquhart bends his head to kiss Moist.

The Fool may still think that Urquhart likes kissing boys best.

[forgottenmotley]

Well, yes. But he looks at the two of them and then considering their entrance decides to say, "You two are adorable!"

And then watch for reactions.

[morethanprops]

"As are you," It seems the easiest answer.

[scots_wolf]

"Yes, you really are," Urquhart asks, winking at the Fool.

[forgottenmotley]

"Nah, I'm not adorable," he says modestly. "Pretty maybe, but not adorable."

He leans back with a sipping of his drink. "My last body was handsome, I think."

[morethanprops]

"What's the difference between the two for you?"

[scots_wolf]

"You are definitely cute," Urquhart says, adding a third term into the mix.

[forgottenmotley]

"Well my last body got hung and is quite dead." He resists the urge to touch his neck. He can still feel the rope though it never touched this body. "It's hard to inhabit a body when it's neck is broken. But I suppose it's kind of like wearing a suit of clothes."

The Fool waves away Urquhart's suggestion. "Franz is cute. Nobody is cute."

[morethanprops]

Moist reaches up to touch his neck at the Fool's gesture, he knows if he were caught he'd be hung, he tries not to think about it.

[scots_wolf]

Actually, Urquhart unconsciously copies their gesture.

He'd have been hung had he been caught, but instead, he ended up kicked off a building.

[forgottenmotley]

One hung man, one man who will be hung until an inch of his life and one who missed it by getting kicked off a building. What an odd trio they are.

"Took me a hundred odd years to get another body. Still waiting on the Fates. They were burned at the stake for being witches the same time I was hung... but triplets are hard to come by." He shrugs and takes a drink.

"What would you say Urquhart is?"

[morethanprops]

"Handsome in a penetrating way."

[scots_wolf]

That was the right thing to say to dispel the macabre mood.

Urquhart snerks, almost snarfing his champagne.

[forgottenmotley]

There's a giggle. "It's the nose. Though he is quite penetrating in lots of ways."

[morethanprops]

"He is with a certain hairy charm."

[scots_wolf]

Urquhart dissolves into laughter.

"You are priceless, you two!"
