*Tom enters the bar from the House of Arch carrying an old, hand-bound leather book and a roll of parchment. He notices that Bernard and Tonks both seem occupied in separate discussions with people from his world, curiously enough. He waves in their directions, not wishing to interrupt. Then he gets a drink from the bar and finds a quiet table. He takes out quill and ink from his pocket and begins reading the book, stopping every so often to make notes on the parchment.*

*He smiles softly.*

I did take that oath, and I mean to keep it. I would be pleased to accompany you, my Lady.

*She grins at him.*

Good. That's settled, then. Now we only have to decide what we're going to do tonight.

Do you have any appointments scheduled?

No. Just got back from my last one.

*She runs her tongue across her upper lip.*

Oh, really?

*He raises an eyebrow and grins devilishly*

Perhaps you could fit me in for an appointment. I have matters of great urgency to discuss with a certain Lady of the House of Arch.

*She leans across the table and whispers in his ear.*

What I have in mind doesn't involve much discussion.

*He puts one arm around her and brings her in closer to him. He says the next in all sincerity, but he can barely keep from breaking out into a huge smile*

I've heard great many good things about nonverbal communication. I think I need some practice with it.

You can start now.

*She pulls his head down and kisses him slowly and teasingly, then stands, grabs his hand, and pulls him to the House of Arch painting, where they disappear.*
