Four knitted scarves

916 Bilko Boulevard, Accidental Phonecall. Unfiltered. Open to housemates

*the phone picks up mid-conversation, as if it's been knocked off the hook by clumsy teenagers Rose's voice comes from not too far.*

I still cannot believe we are doing this. Enjoyable as it might be, I must admit I still have some reservations about it.

Rose, I assure you your reservations are wholly misplaced. I have done this many, many times before, and it has ...almost always resulted in the full enjoyment of all involved parties.

*Rose scoffs a little, but wait, was that a hint of a giggle underneat?* I will give that much to you; you are quite skilled with your hands. I stand here jealous at this discovery...this is really nice though.

*There's the sound of shifting, and Kanaya almost sounds as though she has something in her mouth when she speaks next.* Sweeps of practice have rendered my digital manipulators quite dextrous, yes - and I'm quite pleased to hear that you're finding this to your liking. But as promised, no word of this liason shall ever pass my lips.

If I may ask you to hold as still as possible, Rose? This next part will be rather tight.


While I graciously accepted your request to lend myself to your ways, I must admit I haven't grown to like the fact you are handling me like a rag do-

*Rose's complain is cut as she gasps, and then speaks in a rather mortified tone*

That is...rather tight. My back will be reminding me of this with unforgiving soreness later

*And for her part, Kanaya does sound very apologetic.* I'm quite sorry, but I believe it's for the best to handle the worst of the discomfort at the beginning. I give the full weight of my word that it will be exponentially more agreeable - even satisfying - from this point on.

But please continue to hold still. I would feel very displeased with myself were I to inadvertently scratch you.

So you say. Perhaps it's because you are doing all the work. I feel as if I should probably take the matter into my own hands, but then that would mean you would be but an spectator. Either way one of us is left to watch.

*Rose's tone takes a degree of amusement*A scratch? Not for a lack of effort. I've been holding my breath at every "Hold Still" by now.

I would really rather engage with you directly than to be a mere observer of this flourishing radiance and beauty alike. It simply wouldn't be suitable. And besides, you're certainly a participant rather than a spectator, even if it's a far more passive role than you might prefer. I'm afraid I can't allow you to domineer our interactions every time.

But only a little further, and-- *And then there's a surprised intake of air as somebody notices the displaced phone and moves to hang up. Oops.*

*Somebody hasn't seen the phone yet*

Kanaya? Kanaya Mayram, don't you dare leaving me here without taking proper care of my clothes-

*And so ends the rather strange call*

I can assure you it was not a result of conscious decision on our part. The device was jostled from its resting place.

Now you're talking.

This old woman can rest well, knowing there's still hope for the younger generation.

Yeah but I'm talking like in ratios. Like being a teenager and making an awkward call and making one as an adult is like, a 5:1 ratio.

Or people just get used to awkward and accept it as normal.

Of course you do.

*One wonders if that's the troll equivalent of staring at one's rack. But Kanaya doesn't notice, so intent she is on her work.* Is this a particularly human custom, to raise such a disproportionate fuss about something so simple as a tailoring session?

Yes, I would imagine that you received quite a shock upon arrival. It's possible that the cultural gap may be even greater for you than for me.

Perhaps. I can't truthfully say I've catalogued the age of those who speak over the audio hook network.

.....

Have we met before?

Eh not worth it.

Besides, 98% of statistics are made up anyway.

I suppose that's possible, though given what I know of you it is also fairly improbable. And further given the final insinuation you have put forth just now, I am relatively certain of just what it was that you initially believed.

For the record, I was making assumptions the moment I heard you two in the house.

[And no, he doesn't look pleased by what he assumed and happy it seems to be proven false. So he'll look to Kanaya.]

Kanaya is dressing you up, while you both made ambiguous comments that could cause someone to have ill-mannered thoughts. Am I wrong?

My first arrival was in the year 1994. That's pretty different from now, I think.

Another time would be good!

[identity profile] kinpika.livejournal.com 2011-11-15 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Call me any time!

[identity profile] guitarslaying.livejournal.com 2011-11-15 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah you were!

In fact it was

SUSPICIOUS.

You been watching me? Huh? Have ya?

They at least watching my good side?
