A girl just tried to buy me a drink then told me she had class and gave me her number and left. Is that normal?

[reticence]

It depends on which part you're asking about.

[knightscode]

Leaving? Why would she try to buy me a drink then immediately leave? I did tell her I had a bit of coffee left but I said I wouldn't mind a new drink? Then she just decided to leave?

[reticence]

But she gave you her number. Did she actually try to buy you a drink, or just make the offer? Did she know that you had already had one at that point?

[Faolan can't believe he's explaining this to Lancelot. He can't believe he has to explain it to him, never mind that he is.]

[knightscode]

She made the offer? I think she hadn't seen it. She said I probably wasn't in the mood for another?

[reticence]

She knew. She did it on purpose. Inviting you out later was the point. She wanted to leave you thinking about it. Guessing. Not unlike you are, I imagine.

[Honestly, Lancelot.]

EARLY NOVEMBER? BEFORE HE COMES BACK I GUESS

[knightscode]

It's happening again.

I don't understand why it keeps happening. On the bright side, look!

[ And what follows is the sketch Siobhan drew of him gently restraining Lily while she sits attentively, grinning at her. ]

Also at the risk of sounding like I've been drinking, I think I've started making things float.

[reticence]

Wait. What's happening again? You've started to WHAT

Should I be worried?

[knightscode]

People I have never met before trying to ask me out for coffee on the street.

And I don't think so? I haven't broken anything yet. It's just a little strange.

[reticence]

Asking you out...in a romantic sense? Or are you giving off the vibe that you haven't been sleeping well, lately? If they've all been offering coffee...

I still have no idea what you're talking about, but "I don't think so" isn't very comforting, you know.

[knightscode]

I don't think they thought I was tired. The woman who drew that picture assured me that people of any gender must enjoy paying attention to me, and the man who bumped into on the street kept mentioning my muscles and touching my chest.

[ He's fairly certain Faolan can imagine his discomfort from that description alone. ]

And I've tried to avoid doing it, the floating thing, which is why I said 'I don't think so'. I suppose I should ask someone at Redbright? They know about that sort of thing. Floating things.

[reticence]

[Oh, Faolan can imagine alright. He's trying not to think too hard about how annoyed he is, hearing about it in turn.]

Did you agree, then? Coffee with either of these people, I mean. I can't honestly believe you're so surprised by this sort of thing. She's not wrong, you know. Obviously.

And you're losing me again. Redbright? 'Doing it'? Simple words, Lancelot, what's going on?

sms, sent about 6 hours after being given his card

[wolfmarked]

Shot in the dark: you've never been clubbing.

[reticence]

Not in London, no.

[God help him, but there can only be one unknown number texting him with a question like this, after the day he's had.]

[wolfmarked]

We need to change that.

[reticence]

We do?

[wolfmarked]

We do. Pick the day. I'll pick the club.

Missing child, Lambeth area, IC1 reported on news -- confirmed fae involvement.

29 April

[knightscode]

Do you know a hunter, name of Daryl or Dwayne, American? Southern accent?

[reticence]

Daryl Dixon, yes. He may or may not be speaking to me these days on account of all of this Night Council business. Then again I'm pretty sure most of the faction feels that way. Why, has something happened?

[knightscode]

We may have a problem. Would you be able to pull him back if necessary?

[reticence]

A month ago, I would have said yes without question. I'm not nearly as certain now. I could do my best. Why? What problem?

[knightscode]

Let's just say someone hired him and may be suffering a change of heart.

[reticence]

What sort of change? What's going on, Lancelot? Daryl isn't a man to be trifled with, even as far as Hillingdon hunters go.
