Mini-Reunion.
Gott in Himmel, this was so weird. Rose had barely gotten a chance to introduce her to anyone yet, and she was already a bit bemused by the foreignness of it all.

But there was another familiar face, once she actually found him.

"Brad! So you <i>are</i> here!"

"No. Hoping to. I looked a few things up when Rose had to leave me alone by the computer. You remember that aristocratic nothing in my parents' stories that she almost pushed into marrying before Dad and the gang crashed the wedding? Turns out she did, here. It's depressing, is what it is."

"Can't say there's no temptation...but then, that's your preferred state of equilibrium, isn't it?"

	"Wow. Is this the 'no-fun' version of our world or what?" Braddock asks. "There's no sin in giving in to temptation, Gretchen. Only in denyin' oneself when temptation appears." Braddock says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's all the Eastern Philosphy my mom made me read, mixed with a healthy dose of Dad's teachings. Someday, I'll have a group of trained people at my command, ready to do your bidding, Princess." Brad smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ohh, Brad, liebling. You always remember that the way to a girl's heart is through the use of sharp pointy objects -- in more ways just the literal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, really, a sharp point object is the way to anyone's heart, chere. But I'd rather get to yours without all the mess. I could read you more German poetry. I promise it won't be like that time last summer. I've been working on my German since then, honest! No one is going to want to kill us for insulting their mother's mother." Braddock assures her.

	Gretchen chuckles and leans in for the hug. "That's a relief." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Braddock hugs Gretchen, memorizing the scent of her hair, and the sound of her voice. "Hey, if nothing else, I try to keep life interesting. But nothing is interesting if we aren't here to enjoy it, Princess. Try to remember that while I'm gone." Braddock says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A few days, unless the Thieves and Assassins' Guilds here want to kill me. The timeframe increases and decreases for each day you don't hear from me." Braddock says. "I just need to see something familiar, Gretchen. This place looks like Xavier's, but I know it's not. Maybe I just needs some catfish." he shrugs, giving a half-hearted smile.

	Gretchen listens, and nods. "I'll keep that in mind." She smiles. "...And hush puppies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princeofthieves 2010-07-31 06:13 am UTC (link)
	"I remember you liking hush puppies, chere." Braddock says. "Maybe when I get back...you and me can go find somethin' to do together. I'll have money enough by then to let us have some fun. Maybe I'll take you dancin'." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The palace kitchen staff still blames you for it, you know." "I'd like that, Brad." She's tempted to ask to come along, but it's only fair to meet her sister, give her and Not-Dad a chance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hey, they needed to know how to keep a Princess happy. I excel at this and shared my knowledge. I should get a medal of some kind." Braddock grins.

He smiles brighter at her acceptance of his offer to hang out. He almost asks her to come with him, but he doesn't want to put her in danger when he gets into trouble, which is par for the course with him.

"You gonna be okay here by yourself until I get back?" he asks.

	She takes a breath. "Yeah. I'll be fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right, Princess. I'll be home soon. Don't worry about me. I always land on my feet." Brad says. "Take care of yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)
