I'll happily beat you again another time.

[complicatedliar]

Maybe next week. Once the pain has stopped.

[strangelyliteral]

You're on. Now please, go lick your wounds and get back to work.

Re: np! I figured that it might have gotten lost, so decided to continue on <3

[universal_charm]

Well, I am sure John can, but John isn't here, so I don't think he will.

_{[ Really, Anya, where were those manners you all seemed to enjoy so much? He never saw them in attendance when it was just you and him. And contrary to trying to play the better man, he was just fine with giving you almost precisely what you thought he was. It was more fun poking at you with a stick than it was showing his belly, anyways. ]}

[complicatedliar]

Thank you for your mercy.

[He gives her a mocking bow and then slinks toward the exit.]

Note my limp of defeat.

[strangelyliteral]

[She'll give him a round of slow applause for his way out.]

[strangelyliteral]

Jared? No, Jones ...

[She might have legitimately forgotten his first name, with all the times she practiced hard not to know it.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He gave her a long, hard look, his displeasure quite clear now if it wasn't already. He leaned up off his bike and walked to the hood of her car, popping it open to consider the damage. ]}

My name's Jim, Anya. Well, James T. Kirk, but I prefer Jim. If that won't fit your mouth you can at least call me by my last name. Four little letters can't be that hard for a woman of your breeding can they?

_{[ The contempt in his voice might as well have been a glob of spittle being spat at her shoes. ]}

[crimsonblade]

I appreciate the fact that you're trying to be...not really supportive, but at least not dismissive of everything. But, Anya, you haven't even gotten to know Fayt or his parents yet.

[strangelyliteral]

[Her eyes positively narrow at the thought of her precious daughter using the name Katniss Kirk. What kind of name was Kirk anyway, but low born!]

Don't you - talk that way to me, Jimbo. [Hey, it was close enough.

Still, she looks a little wary, peering over his shoulder at the inside of the car hood. Even though her husband was successful with car sales - a little too successful, perhaps, Anya didn't know a thing about what made them tick. Her voice and expression take a much more concerned tone.] ... Is it bad?

[strangelyliteral]

I don't know, sis. Do you really think we ought to - mix? Mingle? I just wouldn't know what to say.

[crimsonblade]

Well, you know, Fayt does have an education, and I'm sure that Souji would love to talk about...housewife things. [What does Nel know about that stuff? This is all new to her too.] They're human beings you know.

[strangelyliteral]

Yes, they're humans. And we're Starks. It's completely different.

[crimsonblade]

[She bit back a sigh at her sister's tone.] You could at least try?

Is there a real reason you came today or are you just here to judge me again?

[strangelyliteral]

"Hmmph. I just came to see how you were doing, as I said. But I can leave now, now that I've seen it all."

[crimsonblade]

[She's oddly touched. She and Anya weren't really all that close, but the fact that her sister came to a side of town that she'd never been before to check on her is something a bit out of character. Something like real siblings do for one another.]

T-thanks for coming, Anya. As you can see, I'm alive and happy. [She needs to change the conversation.] Fayt and I will be visiting Tony and Pepper tonight so that Billy and Gai can meet their new uncle. Just...so you know.

[strangelyliteral]

"Really? Maybe Jack and I should pop over there. Just for a little moral support."

[crimsonblade]

Support for which sibling, hm? [She gives her sister a wry smile.] It doesn't matter. I'm sure Tony would like to have Jack there anyway.

[strangelyliteral]

As the middle sibling it is my job to keep the family together.

[crimsonblade]

I wouldn't know about that, as the youngest. I was under the impression that my job was to make you and Tony as uncomfortable as possible.

[strangelyliteral]

And Tony has his own... thing. [She waves a hand.]

[crimsonblade]

Anya, Tony's whole life could be summarized as a "thing". [Because, you know, he's so responsible.]

[strangelyliteral]

Exactly. He doesn't make it easy for us.

[crimsonblade]

[She knows that Anya is serious about this, because, well, that's just how her sister is, but the thought of Tony making anyone's life easier is too amusing for words.]

No, he certainly doesn't. So, I'll see you and Jack tonight then at Tony's?

[strangelyliteral]

You can count on it.

[Unlike any guarantees her husband made on his cars.]
