Who: Crane and Bianca
Where: A coffee shop.
What: They get together to chat about horrific death. Fun times!
Warnings: Swearing, otherwise TBA.

Jonathan met Bianca at the address she'd specified as quickly as he could get there. It was, thankfully, relatively close to his apartment, which made his life a great deal easier. He hated using those portkey things, useful as they might be for instantaneous travel. They made him sick, to be honest.

He'd written the address down on a scrap of paper and put it in his pocket, but it was obvious which place she meant by the time he got to the right block, since it was the only coffee shop on the street that wasn't part of one franchise or other. He straightened his tie, walked in, and scanned the room for Bianca.

	It would probably be obvious who Bianca was once he stepped into the coffee shop. She was sitting alone, sipping her coffee ... and most of the people around her looked nervous. She glanced up when she spotted Jonathan and nodded subtly to the seat across from her. This would be ... interesting. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He picked her out of the crowd and walked over, noting the general atmosphere of unease around her. Interesting. He sat down across from her and smiled faintly. "And you must be Bianca. A pleasure." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Really now." Well, to be fair ... she hadn't shot him. That was considerably nicer than she'd been to the last man she'd met. "That can only make you Jonathan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It does indeed," he said, glancing around to the people at the other tables. "I can't help but wonder what you've done to make everyone here look this way as though there's a time bomb between us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She might've snapped at the man who brought her coffee because it was cold, but fuck, how hard was it to make warm coffee? Bianca arched a brow. "Just my charming personality at work, Crane." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Ah. Of course." The waiter had perfect timing, choosing just that moment to show up at their table. He seemed to be purposefully avoiding looking over at Bianca. "Black coffee, please, a large." The man scurried away, his eyes going directly from Jonathan to the floor.

"Well, this place does have excellent service. I can say that much for it." His tone was so level that it was hard to tell whether or not he'd just figured out the reason the waiter looked so nervous or if he just liked service that didn't talk.

	She licked her lips. "I think that if you lunge at him he might drop the hot coffee on himself," she remarked with an arch of her brow, "If you're into that sort of thing." Personally, Bianca just wanted to scare people. Killing them ... well, she didn't like to do that unless she had to. She'd done enough of that before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He glanced over at the skittish waiter again, smiling slightly. "I'm tempted, but I'll refrain for now. Better to wait until he's become complacent." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The element of surprise is tempting." But she'd always been a bit impatient as far as that sort of thing when she could allow herself to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hence the reason that it's persevered throughout the ages as a useful strategy." He leaned back in his chair. "But maybe not today. I appear to have been given enough of a bad reputation without helping it along." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolongermoral 2008-03-16 03:58 am UTC (link)
	And that makes Bianca smirk. "Well, you know ... I like to think that if people are going to be making rash decisions like that I might at least give them a reason to dislike me." That is, in fact, what's she's done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He held up a finger. "Ah, but I'm making a vague attempt to be respectable," he said. "If I want a job and a comfortable place from which to conduct my...business I have to keep up a pleasant public front." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolongermoral 2008-03-17 03:30 am UTC (link)
	She smirked a little. "Right, right. You have that 'acceptable front' to put up. I suppose because they shoved me into a figureskating job they knew that coaches were generally scary, sarcastic bitches." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	insanecrane 2008-03-18 03:32 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. "That seems to make the most sense," he said calmly. "You mind being pigeonholed?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She licked her lips and let out a harsh laugh. "Mind? People are welcome to fuckin' look." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled faintly. "Your philosophy clearly serves you well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolongermoral 2008-03-23 04:31 am UTC (link)
	She smirked. "Kept me alive pretty good so far." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I suppose I can assume by that statement that you are accustomed to consistent danger in your life?" he asked, leaning back a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nolongermoral 2008-03-25 02:18 am UTC (link)
	She smirked. "Something like that, fancy boy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He quirked an eyebrow but ignored the nickname. "And what was that danger?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well now, that would depend on the day." She licked her lips. "Originally it was supposed to be terrorists, but nowadays it's the government that I'm concerned about." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He rested his head on his hand. "Try being chased by a bat fetishist, then get back to me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You mean like ... what, Batman?" She couldn't suppress her laugh. (Reply to this) (Parent)
