Theo- Forward dated to Saturday, 3 pm
Julian had arranged with the parents of one of Michel's playmates for one to watch Michel while the other accompanied Julian on his call. So with Madeline Macen, Julian showed up at the hotel, promptly at 3pm. He'd brushed his hair, had his hands slapped away by Madeline every time he'd tried to put his fingers into it. He hadn't been able to be talked out of bringing a potted plant, however.

Despite having done this before, he wasn't very good at it. Twelve years out of practice too. He sent word with a maid for Theo that he was at the hotel and went to a sitting room to wait, sitting and talking with Madeline. When the door opened, he stood immediately, sketching a half-bow.

	He inhaled deeply once they were outside, smiling at Julian. "I should spend more time outside," he admitted. "I've been spending a lot of time getting unpacked and the shop set up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_engineer885 2008-09-02 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	"I imagine you have quite a bit to unpack," Julian admitted, flashing Theo a half-smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'Yes, my parents were rather generous as were my siblings." He decided he liked Julian's smile and the fact that he was as nervous as Theo had been. It put them on a level. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Enough to fit out your shop?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tailertheo 2008-09-02 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	Theo nodded, "Mostly. I've had to purchase some things, but yes." He took a mis step, caught his toe and stumbled into Julian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Getting his balance again, Theo blushed. "I'm sorry," he kept one hand on Julian perhaps a bit longer than he should have as he straightened. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_engineer885 2008-09-02 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Are you all right?" Julian asked, keeping one hand on the small of Theo's back, more concerned with Theo's ankles then propriety despite a loud throat clearing behind him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tailertheo 2008-09-02 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	'Yes. Thank you." At the clearing of their chaperone's throat, Theo flushed a brilliant red, but he had to admit that he enjoyed the feeling of Julian's hand on his back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He couldn't help but glance back at her before ducking his head again. "I hope we did not offend her. I should watch where I'm going more carefully." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It was rather improper." His cheeks were a lovely shade of pink, "but nice." Oh, he hoped Julian didn't think him far too forward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
