Re: Fabian/Gideon/Lily
Fabian gave his brother a pained look this time. "Oi, now. What'd I say about being so obvious when giving me tips? Look what you've done now. She feels sorry for me, I think. Couldn't be worse."
Nevertheless, his lip twitched in a barely suppressed grin as he stretched, laughed his way through a yawn, and casually draped an arm around Lily's shoulders.
"See, now, I didn't need that much help. The confession will be a piece of pie."
Pause.
"Oi, Gid, pass my one of those pasty brown ones. It's either pie or something vastly non-pleasant."
