a dangerous maid

Katy. A maid, a housekeeper. Maybe even a lover. tracking: thecanoodler ((ooc))

[thecanoodler]

so tired of being treated this way..

[albanyphage]

Hmm? In what way, may I ask?

[thecanoodler]

Just... the house I work in. I'm treated close to terribly.

[to-thelost]

But he ain’t…The Commodore’s my father, Nucky was just in charge of fetching the girls. He treat you okay? Workin for him here. 

[thecanoodler]

Oh, wow... I suppose he treats me as well as he can. I'm nothing special to him.

[to-thelost]

Nuck? He has his moments, he paid to put a roof over me and ma when I was a baby. But he can be a bastard that’s for sure. 

[thecanoodler]

Is that right? Well, he seems to enjoy to please… there’s just always something off about him.

[to-thelost]

Well he only did it because he was the reason my Ma was knocked up at thirteen. That’s be the ‘what’s off about him’ part. 

[thecanoodler]

Oh my lord. I can't imagine... Quite in character of him I must say. 

[to-thelost]

Nuck? He has his moments, he paid to put a roof over me and ma when I was a baby. But he can be a bastard that’s for sure.

[to-thelost]

Margaret gettin’ on your nerves?

[thecanoodler]

aye.. I just try to be nice to her! 

[to-thelost]

Ah well, seeing Nucky has sent her all high and mighty. 

[thecanoodler]

I've never trusted him..

He laughed again at her reaction, he was used to women gossiping to him, between his mother and her fellow show girls he’d had years of it. “On fire? You better watch the drapes - I’m sure Nuck’ll set him straight, I was kinda a wild kid, he reigned me in pretty well.” Jimmy took a sip of his coffee, he didn’t think he’d been to Nucky’s new house before, he’d never needed a nice family house with Lucy. “Richard’s a shy fella really, he likes children, my son loves him, he’s real good with kids when they get past the mask.”

[thecanoodler]

Katy let out a light giggle, covering her mouth slightly. She had better watch her back; information was easily gathered in this household. Margaret could find out everything within seconds; if any suspicions were to arise. "I think Mr. Harrow is very kind. Though I'd be lying if I said the mask didn't take me aback a bit when I first met him. The children really do go for him, now."

sO CLOSE

[to-thelost]

He’d never really got used to the idea of staff, when his mother had dragged him to visit the Commodore when he was young he’d vaguely remembered the people in matching uniforms scuttling about the place, but he’d always just talked to them like friends. He would talk to anyone and everyone when he was small. “Especially with prohibition, you look after Margaret’s kids too right? Richard felt so guilty that he frightened them so much.”

[thecanoodler]

"That I do. Little brats at times, I'll tell you. Especially the boy. He sets things on fire, you know." Katy nearly clapped her hand over her mouth at this. She could hardly believe she was spilling all of this information out loud to someone she barely knew personally. If either Nucky or Margaret ever found out... well, she didn't even want to think about it. Though at the same time, it felt so good to be able to say these things to someone. Someone who perhaps even cared about what she had to say. She cleared her throat and added quietly, "I think he handled it nicely, though." 

[mrpouffles]

He opened his mouth in an expression of mock surprise, as though the idea had only just crossed his mind. “Aren’t you the clever one?” he remarked with a smirk. Owen leaned towards her, letting his fingertips rest against her hip, his lips nearly brushing her ear. “I’ll help however you like. Always at your service.” 

[thecanoodler]

Katy bit her lip softly, exhaling. Owen always seemed to know exactly how to show he cared - physically. She wished she wouldn't get so weak in the knees so easily; it gave an insecure air to her that she really didn't like. She reached up and placed her hand gingerly on his neck. "As if I didn't know that already."

[thecanoodler]

Katy smiled shyly and quickly sat down across from Jimmy. Sitting was hardly a part of her job - it seemed as though she was always up and doing something. It felt refreshing to be able to sit and chat with someone... especially to have permission from them to do so. She just hoped no one of authority saw her. "You're right.. Never a dull moment in this city."

[thecanoodler]

a maid ... precious if diligent and ready to meet the needs of his master

that is indeed what I am.

[thecanoodler]

Katy smiled, a blush rising to her cheeks.

"I do not."

[mrpouffles]

Owen glanced over his shoulder, a habit to ascertain that they were alone, before briefly stroking his thumb along her cheek and across her lips. “You ought to find some way to occupy your time. It’s a dread shame, whiling away your nights all by your lonesome…” He winked. 

[thecanoodler]

Katy looked into his eyes, nearly falling faint at his touch. She smiled giddily and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "Perhaps you could help me with that."

[thecanoodler]

Is a pretty thing such as you free to hire, or do you only work for Mr. Thompson alone?

It… depends on who’s asking…

[bunnyearsgangster-blog]

That’s too bad.

But if you are in need of employment or anything else, don’t hesitate to contact me. I… have a weakness for lovely ladies. 

[thecanoodler]

I will surely keep you in mind, sir. I hope I didn't disappoint you too terribly.

[thecanoodler]

Katy smiled, a blush rising to her cheeks.

"I do not."
