002 | Reunited and it feels so good...

[diehardreaper]

How does it look, Grim? Not too bad, eh?

[ There's a little jostle of the camera as Ronald's duskull angles it ever so slightly to give his trainer a better look at the feed. There's a satisfied little grin as Ronald adjusts his newly acquired fedora, tilting it ever so slightly and keeping it at a rather jaunty angle over his brow. Yep, it feels really great to have that hat back on his head. ]

Had a piece like this back home. Here I thought I'd never see it again.

Fancy that it came in one of those gift bags! That's a stroke of luck, isn't it?

[ He'll stop preening now. Can't help himself. He's just so pleased. ]

And you lot who just came back, good on you for that fight!


You two're alright, I hope? Kept the circus in one piece best I could when you lot disappeared...

That's me!

[Henry shakes, smiling pleasantly and not breaking eye contact -- but there seems to be something sticky on his and Ronald's hands...]

[...is that blood?]

[diehardreaper]

[ Have a pause though as he takes his hand and stares at it a bit with a raised brow before reaching for his handkerchief with his clean one and wiping it down. He doesn't seem all that bothered, just a bit confused. Best not to ask.

His duskull however looks like he's about to pass out. ]

Now I really wish Mister Sutcliffe was around. You both'd be thick as thieves before the day was through, I'd bet a silver shilling.

[ And he'll hold out the same handkerchief out to Henry. ]

Might need this. There's a spot of something on your hand I don't think anyone'd fancy seeing.

[cawsforalarm]

This 'Mister Sutcliffe' sounds like my kind of guy! Nya ha ha!

[He takes the handkerchief and wipes his hands on it anyway. He would just wipe it on his pants like a four-year-old, but bloodstains are really hard to get out of fabric.]

So, where to?

[diehardreaper]

Yeeeeeah, if he ever comes 'round, I'll be sure to introduce you both.

[ And woe betide this world if ever these two meet. But there are more important things at hand! Like shopping.

Don't even try to offer him that handkerchief back, Henry. ]

Off to the Department Store, then? Whenever you're ready.
