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

[delilahs_reaper]

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.

"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."

We should totally do virus aftermath :3 :3 :3

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."

We shoooould :3 One of us could set up a post?

"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.
