Cheeky piece
[ Its a video call of one Anthony J. Crowley stepping out of a posh building eating a vanilla and chocolate swirled cone. ]
When you think about it sixty-five million isn't really so much to ask for a place like this in the middle of New York. Especially with all those terraces. Parking space for two cars. Concierge. More bedroom space than I'll ever need. And... ha! This might be the best part!
[ He laughed and attached a quick image to the post. ]
They don't want to take that painting with them so it would come with the place! You're an art restorer, what do you think of it, Mr. Fell? Cheeky piece. It's a bit like that play we saw last week, the one where you got all annoyed with me for magically upgrading our seats. I didn't hear you complaining when we ended up with that private box though did I?
[ He paused for a thoughtful lick of chocolate before it ran down the cone. ]
I never even dreamed of owning a place like this one before so of course I signed. What is the point of magic if you can't indulge?

In person? I don't think it works well over the phone.

[ He was over as soon as he was able to do that and retrieve his motorcycle from it's temporary parking space. It was dark by the time there was a knock at Alec's door. ]

I'm not sure I want to know. [but he steps back to let Anthony in anyway and sprawls on the lumpy sofa]
no subject
Maybe not. I could... pretend it doesn't happen. You could go back to, what were you doing before I arrived? It smells like chips in here.
no subject
Might as well show me unless you plan to hide it forever. [he attempts to look relaxed and only manages to look more tense than ever]
no subject
[ He sauntered over, taking a seat on the lumpy sofa's arm like it was a perch. ]
Thing is, it would be difficult to show you if we are the only two here. What happens is I snap my fingers or look at some one in a certain way and they just give me whatever I want.
There's only you here. I couldn't really use it on you...
no subject
[it's terrifying in a way he can't explain]
no subject
Why not? No one got hurt.

Actions have consequences, Anthony.

It's not right.
[not that he could stop him]
What if someone tried doing that to you?
no subject
[ Unless it was that Anakin guy but no need to bring him up. ]
They got the place for a song I'm only doing the same thing they did.

I'm thinking about asking Fell to move in. Couldn't really do that with a dinky little one person place. There wouldn't be any room for his books.
And even if he's not into the idea... there is still plenty of room for visits. Mum can have her own room when she stops by, huge kitchen... She'll love that.
no subject
[there is no approval in his voice and he refuses to give it. He doesn't say he doesn't plan on coming over himself but he's pretty sure Anthony will figure that out]
no subject
What? What do you want? Me to stay in that tiny flat, working hard every day and not getting anywhere??
It doesn't have to be like that anymore. We could live a little! Fine dining, luxury cruises on the river, we could get a table at Le Bernardin or Masa... two places I've only ever heard of but you need thousands to eat there.
no subject
[he's not going to lecture. he's not even going to waste his breath.] I hope you and Fell have a nice time and you can do your bizarre magic thing on the Feds or police or anyone else who comes knocking at your door.
no subject
[ Though this was grumbled under his breath as he stood and paced away from the rumpled couch. ]
No one is even going to notice. You'll see. You are worrying for nothing.
no subject
[and what could he say anyway? My cousin magiced himself an expensive flat?]
no subject
Those were the words he thought to say and they were as frightful as they were exhilarating. He had by now seen it all, his beginnings as an angel, the fall, Eden... He knew what he was. He had been given undeniable proof of it when he had to stop going to Church and been regretfully forced to pack his mum's cross necklace away in thick mounds of tissue paper which he buried in a sturdy jewelry box so that he didn't give himself a nasty burn. Humans... didn't have problems walking across consecrated ground and they certainly didn't burn on a blessed cross necklace.
All he could really think to do was frown sadly at Alec for there wasn't really any way back for him. ]
no subject
He leaned against the corner of the couch and looked out the window at the view of nothing much]
If that's what you want.
