cue the rolling of auburn optics, the emission of a sigh from betwixt chapped lips. equanimity in the face of HARDSHIP or FRUSTRATION from the man has become infrequent ( even in spite of ceaseless reminders –––– ‘oh, it’ll PASS’ ; and it always DOES before worsening ), resulting in the occasional fulmination.

it’s a mimic, but not one done of MALICIOUS INTENT. elsa is not, honestly, even lying. there’s something about the skyline that gets her to FOCUS. puts things into perspective, perhaps. she liked to draw the TOPS of buildings and work her way down, into details, when she was at a LOSS. places like these were usually deemed hers, mostly due to lack of USE. elsa wasn’t familiar with guests. not here or–––well. ANYWHERE. she tucks the sketchpad further beneath her arm, pencil teetering precariously in the groove of her ear, hidden behind platinum plait.

she doesn’t make move to sit. in fact, elsa rocks BACK on her heels, towards the door. she should go.

‘ i wasn’t expecting–––

❛ well, now you know ––––– don't be so eager to DASH. ❜

tips of calloused digits tap improvised rhythm upon stained sheet of paper ( not much thought at all is put into DESULTORY PATTERNS ––––– for he is not the music maker, nor does he DESIRE to be ), repetition eliciting a sardonic chortle. it is not his intention to come off as impolite, truly ; method's FAILURE has made the man into a bit of a CYNIC regarding its effectivity for others, even. pardon questioning expression ––– it all comes from a place of LUDICITY over eagerness to SCRUTINIZE. gaze drifts where movement is made, oculi narrowing in interest as gesture is made towards now CONCEALED object.

after a beat of stillness ( its contents including but not limited to the quirk of a brow, –– to just WHOM does foreign feminine timbre belong? –– the faint scratch of dulled graphite point on a legal pad littered with lingering grey marks that eraser had FAILED to obliterate, and a brief glance in the opposite direction ), comes his response, accompanied by something of a smirk. should such an answer have met one of HIS own queries, 'tis likely that it would have been written off as WITTICISM or a display of PRETENTIOUSNESS, but desperate times do indeed call for desperate measures ; perhaps a breath of fresh air will blow away the case of WRITER'S BLOCK he's found himself battling for the past week or so –––––––– ? BULLSHIT. with exasperated exhalation does the male turn around to face the stranger.

mary flynn hardly ever cares what she looks like. she wears the most modest clothing, the most minimal jewelry, and never any makeup. but hardly did she ever get to go out, just her and her friends, to dinner, at a nice, semi-formal sort of restaurant. for this she could afford to be just a little dressed up. and so, she’s hardly half-dressed, trying to decide between this dress or that, these shoes or those, when suddenly, someone’s knocking at her front door.

❝ don’t come in, don’t come in! ❞ sprinting into her bedroom with an armful of clothes and a dumb, excited sort of smile on her face, she slams the door, locks it, and shouts: ❝ okay, now you can come in, charley – charley, is that you? ❞

❛ ––––––––––––– alright, alright! ❜

grip on the doorknob slackens immediately, words accompanied by something of a chuckle as both hands fly up in SURRENDER. one of the two returns to its previous position at his side before being tucked into coat pocket, the digits of the other curling into a loose fist as eyes graze the face of his watch, squint at the ticking hands ( a handful of seconds pass in the BLINK OF AN EYE –––––– and for a fleeting moment, the thought INFLATES, and the MACROCOSM OF TIME becomes FRIGHTENING, more so than he would ever ADMIT ). a minute more, and the returning of a familiar voice PULLS him from his own rumination. previous ponderings are set aside as fingers wrap around the doorknob once more, twisting it and stepping inside as the door opens and closes with a creak, then a faint click.

❛ who ELSE would it be? ❜

and with rhetorical inquiry comes a sigh –––––– a subtle dig at the missing member of the trio's seeming inability to show on time? why, of COURSE not. brow raises in jest as arms fold over his chest.
