[Fujiko has been raiding the library for the past few days looking for something very specific. Upon finding it, out she rushes, delighted with her discovery, only to remember something very obvious.]

Ciel! I found those books you were looking for. [And how. There's at least 3 Sherlock Holmes books, and a good stack of 20 other books. Anyone want to help the busty chick move those books? The little kid probably won't help that much either.] There were even some others I'd never seen before, but they look like fiction. And I got you Hound of the Baskerville, because it's just a really good book.

Hey, just so I know, if there are any fans of French literature out there, is anyone else here familiar with Maurice Leblanc or Arsene Lupin?

Oh! And Valvalis, I can start whenever you have time. [Aha, that might explain all the wind magic books she's got. Still, even though normally she'd make Lupin do all this work, she doesn't look too unhappy.]

That it is not. This much even a child could accomplish with relative ease. [He's aware of this :| He just... isn't fond of the situation. He is saying this as a sort of flat agreement]

[Action]

[doubleppk]

Even still~ When you're used to something more, it can take a bit.

[Waves a hand smoothly.] Still, I'm sure you'll hold up!

[Jack leans up against the frame of the door. Frankly he has no interest in the little kid, so he's just waiting for Fujiko to finish her social call so they can go have those drinks they talked about.]

Your sentiment and faith is appreciated, Ms. Mine, I assure you.

[...Hah.]

[Action]

[doubleppk]

Well, have fun with the books Ciel! I'm sure you'll find them entertaining. I got you some of the future Sherlock Holmes novels too, your choice on whether you want to read them now or try to wait until back in your own time, hm.

Ready to go Jack?

[Action]

[originaljackass]

You know I am. [He flashes Fujiko an eager smile. To Ciel, he gives a brief glance of annoyance.]

Seeya, runt.

[Action]

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[Runt.

Rude. So rude. But he nods and waves, dismissing them. There's no need to even reply to them, just lean on his cane and follow them out.]

[Action]

[doubleppk]

Thanks for the visit Ciel!

[Bounds out cheerfully.]

[Action]

[originaljackass]

[Once they're outside of the 'manor', Jack smooths back his hair and grins.]

I think I heard something about drinks, earlier?

[Action]

[doubleppk]

Mm-hm! On me. I have to pay you back for carrying those big heavy books somehow, ne~? [Never mind that everything is free in Luceti. Shhh, be amazed by her generosity.]

Anywhere you want to go~!

[Action]

[originaljackass]

Seeing how we don't have much way in choices, Good Spirits?

[But still amazed. Ever so slightly.]

[Action]

[doubleppk]

Sounds like a plan~

Have you been there before? [And don't mind her inching closer to practically steal an arm. It's just because it's cold out and she's wearing very little. Or so she'll shyly pretend.]

[Action]

[originaljackass]

[Pretend or not, he's all too happy to have a beautiful woman hanging off him. He's Jack Horner. That's how he rolls.]

A few times. I know the staff. A very nice bunch. [One blonde stands out in particular.]

[Action]

[doubleppk]

Oh really? I'm not really sure who runs it, to be honest.

[Action]

[originaljackass]

I'm not exactly on a first name basis with the staff. [Except for one of them, but that's different.]

[Action]

[doubleppk]

Oh, you just know they're nice?

[Action]

[originaljackass]

I haven't been thrown out yet.

[Action]

[doubleppk]

[Laughs!]

You cause that much of a fuss?

[Action]

[originaljackass]

I had a giant throw me out of a bar once. Now that was painful.

[Action]

[doubleppk]

[That definitely gets a laugh.]

Oh dear~ A giant though, really? How big was he? You must have really caused some trouble to annoy even one of them, hm~

[Action]

[originaljackass]

As big as they come, darling. But when you've got a rep for giant slaying, they don't tend to be too fond of you, whether you're just there for a drink or not.

[Action]

[doubleppk]

You're a giant slayer? [Gasp :O Oh do tell.]

[Action]

[originaljackass]

Oh yeah, the original slayer here. Of course, there's not as much money in it as there used to be. Being a giant is expensive in the modern world.

[Action]

[doubleppk]

I see. Such a shame. Do they do something to deserve it?

[Action]

[originaljackass]

Yeah. Big ugly bastards, taking what they want, capturing normal folk to grind into bread, and taking off with all kinds of riches. I was doing the world a favor killing them off.
