[There’s a teenager!

He’s wet, in something of a ‘I’m going to ignore how much of a drowned rat I appear’ way. One might assume that he fell into the fountain at some point, but equally, the all-encompassing wetness may have something to do with the fact that he was just in England, aka the land of copious amounts of tea-and-rain. His expression, for the record, reflects his irritation at being displaced without warning, frustration from trying to get whatever this might be to work (he's not entirely convinced it is), and curiosity. You know, at the whole ‘suddenly displaced, this isn’t London’ thing. It’s hard not to wonder about something like that.

When he finally speaks, he sounds Remarkably British, although his accent is rather indistinct for the most part – southern, one might assume, well-brought up, although there’s a slight hint of Welsh. No, he doesn’t do anything untoward with sheep. London doesn't have sheep.]


Normally, one only has to ask for my company to be granted with it. [This? This would be the unmistakable tone of `GRUMPINESS`.] I do try to make myself available for all, but it can’t be helped if someone misses out here and there. Kidnapping tends not to be the answer, though. If I said I was impressed, I’d sadly be lying, but if it makes you feel any better, you can pretend I’m of that opinion regardless. Likewise, I think you’ll find you’ve managed to overshoot ‘mysterious’.

[There’s a pause, and for a moment, there’s a flash of wry amusement in his expression, as if this entire scenario is utterly ridiculous to the point of absurdity.]I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?'” I hope you won’t mind if I happen to refuse any bottles labelled ‘drink me’, or any foods labelled ‘eat me’. I’m quite content with who I am and don’t envision any existential crises a la dear Alice.

I won't decline any explanations, though, even if they happen to come from hatters and caterpillars and assorted small mammals with a fondness for tea and an inability to correctly tell the time.

[There’s another pause, and after he glances away from the device and up at the sky, he shoves the device into a pocket – without, for the record, bothering to turn it off, so have fun with the sound of footsteps and the wonderful blackness of pockets until the device times out.]

[Will cocks his head slightly, expression flickering for a moment before settling into a smile.]

I hadn't realised my reputation preceded me quite as far as America.

It hasn't. I'm not that familiar with the Herondale line except for the name.

If you insist, but I ought to point out that names alone don't usually have that much of an impact upon a person.

That's what you get for being from the past. Clearly you're unaware of how they can.

Surely time's relative? Your past, my future, all that truly matters is the present? Admittedly, though, that's veering into territory I'm not in the mood to discuss.

That aside, I do hope returning an introduction hasn't truly fallen out of favour in the future. [A beat.] Or is it just an American thing?

Jace Lightwood. [Since it's the name Clary told him to go by, he's using it now. Besides, that name really is the one that belongs to him the most.]

Lightwood. [His lips quirk into a slight smile at that.] Of course.

It's possible to have it be both.

Productivity doesn't rate highly on my list of aims.

[identity profile] 1charmingangel.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You aim is very high then. It's almost impressive.

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a bit concerning; I must be giving out the wrong impression. To clarify: my aim is very, very low.

Video

[identity profile] 1charmingangel.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Clearly you've never been to New York. That's aiming high.

Video

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Clearly. But I'm only concerned with London. I'd hate to return and have people reassess their opinion of me.

You're from Victorian London from the looks of it. Just watch the people here and you can pick up on some more bad habits to bring back.

[Congratulations, Jace. Will actually laughs at that.] I suppose I'll have to find out, although voyeurism seems like extraordinary lengths to go to.

You really have no idea what you're missing.

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't know what I've been doing.

[identity profile] 1charmingangel.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Share with the class then, Will. It's not nice to keep things to yourself.

Video

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[If Will had anything to recline against, he'd be reclining against it right now.

Alas.]


I'm not very nice, unfortunately.

Video

[identity profile] 1charmingangel.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
And suddenly I'm not impressed once again. [Sigh.] Then again, it's only the Victorian Era. It probably isn't anything to be impressed about.

Video

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope you won't mind if I don't go and drown my sorrows over failing to impress you.
