A Somber Voice From Smiling Lips

Linnea Finch - Fae (Unseelie) - 23/380+ - Former Crew of The Moon Raider - Owner of Finch (Restaurant)

[marcus-is-death]

"Really? What a pity. He's quite adorable really. Little dimples and everything. Shame he's such a little shit. Causing all this trouble. I certainly wouldn't have put up with this were it my boy. Put him over my knee, you know." He eyed the hospital at large. "Perhaps you could go find the owner of this lavish establishment. Surely he'd know."

[little-linnea]

Linnea kept her eyes trained on the warlock even as he looked away from her, with a tight sort of smile fixed onto her lips. But she was tucked just inside the wards, so she didn't hold any true worry for herself as much as she did his general motives. "He's assisting in a surgery, I'm afraid," she fibbed automatically, covering for her former crewmate instinctively. "Won't be free to speak for several hours. But I could always pass along your contact details if necessary. Assuming you're next of kin?"

@Eld Cottage Hospital

"I'm here to collect the little warlock vampire. Or is he a vampire warlock? It doesn't really matter to me. Nor does it matter if he wants to come or not. And don't bother with the protective nonsense about this being a hospital. You'll be happy to be rid of him."

[little-linnea]

Linnea remained frozen in her place in front of the door, watching the stranger with a concealed wariness. Death emanated off of him, so much so that it constricted the air around them. But she knew better than to react outwardly. “I’m afraid I wouldn’t know of any vampire warlock or the like. Even so, I’m afraid you cannot remove anyone from these walls against their will. There are protections in place against that sort of thing.”

@ a park

"My friend was coming to visit someone, so I decided I'd join him," he explained.

[little-linnea]

“Ah, I see. Is it your first time here then? In the mortal realm, I mean.”

"I'm afraid I'd have to be far drunker than I am to tell that tale," he said of the scar and the eyepatch.

[little-linnea]

Linnea cleared her throat from behind Osian, although her gaze remained fixed on the insensitive stranger he was talking to. "I'm afraid I've come to collect your conversation partner. Pre-agreed obligation, you see," she explained, looping her arm through Osian's as she spoke. At that, Linnea promptly turned on her heel, steering them away with no particular destination in mind apart from far from the bar where he'd been. When they passed the terrace, Linnea tried the handle, freeing the pair into the night air and shutting the door again to block the din of the hall... completely. Leave it to Magnus to have sound enchantments on them.

"It's a wonder that even in this day and age some people don't know how to leave well enough alone."

“Are you kidding? I wouldn’t miss this for the world. The old grump being forced to tolerate a party in his honour,”

[little-linnea]

"You're really delighting in his folly, aren't you?"

[maelaknowstheway]

"Do you truly mean that?"

[little-linnea]

"Whyever would I not?"

[little-linnea]

"I'm pretty sure the gardens are this way. It's been some time since I've actually come along to one of these parties."

@ The Merriwick Inn

Osian had been rather pleased to find the seats by the fire in the dinning hall of the Inn unoccupied when he'd gotten back. As he'd sat a cup of coco had appeared on the small table next to him. He picked it up with a smile and settled in to wait for supper time. It wasn’t long after that that someone else joined him in the empty room. “Would you care to join me?” He called over to them.

[little-linnea]

Linnea always loved when the Hollyfields brought the inn back into the mortal realm. It was one of her favorite spots, and always felt like being transported away even without truly leaving Chicago. She liked to stay there every so often as a respite from the city, and today was no exception. Only, she hadn't quite expected another familiar face to be waiting for her as she entered the dining hall. "Osian?" She laughed a bit in her disbelief before going over to hug him. "Whyever didn't you say you were coming to town?"

@ Millenium Park

"Well, I figured it was just the sort of weather to take the day off for. Even if it's cold, I can't resist a bit of sunshine in winter."
