[Forward-dated to Grab Bag virus] [RL with Radu]

Considering that the members of Delilah weren't exactly strict day-dwellers, he was surprised he hadn't gotten caught yet. Not that most would care, but Cassian certainly hadn't said anything, nor had the Cardmaster smugly asked what activities Jezebel might be up to every evening exactly at sunset. He wasn't sure his good fortune could last forever, but he was grateful it had held out as long as it had.

The room where Radu was attached by a staircase to Jezebel's laboratory at Delilah; he'd previously used it for storage but had cleared it out to make room for him. No one seemed to question why he was spending so much time at Delilah's headquarters when he'd had a separate hideout for keeping Meridiana, thankfully.

After locking the door to the laboratory and checking to see that no one else was there, he descended the stairs with a lantern in hand. "Radu?" he asked in a low voice.

Radu smiled, his lips still carefully closed, and his eyes flicked around to the different signs. "Well, in that case I think we should see that one." He pointed, nearly at random, to a theatre playing something by Shakespeare - Much Ado About Nothing.

"And we should eat and drink while we wait for the show to begin." His eyes sparkled with pleasure. "How does that sound, my dearest?"

Jezebel nodded, enjoying the signs of pleasure in Radu's expression. He seemed more in his element out in the world than in his cramped room under Delilah, hidden from the world. It seemed to suit Radu well to be out and about.

"That sounds excellent," Jezebel said. "Come then, let's get tickets."

Radu was definitely feeling better, just from being able to stretch his legs and do something. He'd spent so much time brooding, worrying over what he'd done like prodding at an infected wound. It was still there, in the back of his mind, but at least now he had something to distract him.

He nodded and moved towards the theatre, squeezing Jezebel's hand as he passed him.

"I hope it's not a drain on your resources to treat me, beloved," he said, more quietly. It wasn't as though he had a penny to his own name. Not in this world.

Jezebel smiled at the small, subtle touch. "Don't worry about that," he said as he got on the line for tickets, waiting behind a few other latecomers. "I do work aside from Delilah that keeps me well-financed. People will often pay whatever is necessary for a doctor who knows how to hold his tongue."

"Mmm, no doubt," Radu said, bumping his shoulder against Jezebel's as they waited in line. "You must be so talented. My dear doctor."

His red eyes sparkled. "Compared to you, I can't do a thing. All I ever learned how to do was be stuck up and fight with a sword."

"You say that as though fighting with a sword were such a useless skill," Jezebel said. "I say that as someone completely useless when it comes to physical combat."

In a teasing voice, he added, "If we happen to be randomly attacked by miscreants while we're out, I'm trusting you to be the one to defend us."

Radu laughed. "Completely useless? You haven't learned even a single thing about duelling? I had no idea."

He caught Jezebel's hand briefly, giving it a squeeze, then let go and held up his clenched fist. "You needn't worry about that. Any miscreant who tried to hurt you would be a cinder before they could lay a single hand on your body."

"I know a little about dueling, but it doesn't make me very good at it," Jezebel answered.

He smiled the tiniest bit at Radu's promise of harm to anyone who harmed him; briefly, he touched Radu's arm, adding, "I don't doubt you could. You could lay London to waste if you wanted, I imagine."

"I could," Radu laughed, ignoring the odd look he received from a nearby woman. "But of course that's because you do all enjoy using wood so much."

They stepped up to the ticket booth and Radu stepped to the side to let Jezebel talk, smiling without showing his teeth.
