RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE // @atrodolphus

“Well well, of all the gin joints in all the world.” She stands behind him with a bright smile on her face, one that he might just find annoying. That doesn’t make her want to hide it. Rodolphus Lestrange is a lot of things Olivia is not, and she’s alright with that but never once has she succumbed to his serious and brooding behavior. She comes to him with drink in hand (only fair, she does own the place) and a good attitude. “Come to check up on your investment?” She didn’t like him much at first, the hard shell he came in was hard for her to look past. Now days though the word friends seems like it could apply. Of course its not exactly easy to say it, not when she’s getting breakfast with Alice in a few hours and she knows she’ll have to avoid mention of him. Of course she’ll avoid mention of the detective tonight too. And of politics, and of Sirius and Marlene, and of how good he looks in that suit. Time with Rodolphus has become an avoidance game for Olivia, one misstep and her brightly colored heels won’t save her from the landmine. Nothing will.

“I’m bored.” Alecto sits across from him at an outdoor table of one of the finest restaurants in London, a cocktail which cost more than the waitresses whole outfit in her hand. Keeping up appearances right now was important, even Alecto knew that. So here they were, on a date for all the world to see. She’d already heard the clicks of a few cameras and there would be more by the end of the night, there always were. But those didn’t thrill her. She stares at him in the low romantic lighting. He looks handsome, and of course he knows it. That doesn’t bother her. She knows she looks just as good as he does in her red dress, she knows that he’s thought at least once about taking it off her. She knows because she’s suggested it at least once. She also knows he won’t not tonight. “You should have taken me to a club, or brought Azyra. She’s better company.”

He’d collected her from Corban’s about an hour ago, and she was already craving another drink. There was an ache in her head from the night before, another one which had gone too far. She doesn’t remember when Corban got her, doesn’t remember much at all. She’ll have to keep herself in better check tonight, this she knows. The event might be private, but that doesn’t mean that eyes aren’t on them both.  They stand near the doors and Alecto is aware of his hand on the small of her back, large and strong against the space. The knows the fabric of her dress will be soft under his fingers, her body firm beneath it. He’ll be spending a fair portion of the night touching her, that’s what they do. They’re good at it too, this business of pretending. It was a dance best done together.  She turned her head towards him, lifting her chin to look up at his eyes. She didn’t need to,  but the position made for a good photo, especially when he tilted his face to stare down at her. There weren’t many cameras there, and the ones that were belonged to the university, but whatever pictures they captured would be leaked to the press. They both knew this. “How much of a show tonight?” Her voice is low and more questions dance behind the one that left her lips. Alice will be here tonight. Sirius will be here. She needs to know how close he wants her, and who they are selling this lie to tonight. She’d be willing to pretend for them all, but she doesn’t need to. Alecto can stand on her own.
