[it's not a party. Not really]

I'll do my best. [and then just to be contrary, rubs a knuckle down his cheek] The closet was more fun though.

[and he makes a teasing longing whistle]

[fierybluebird]

Aye?

[Whistles right back.] Maybe you'll be able to earn a repeat performance.

[the prospect should not turn him on as much as he does and he chokes a little, pulling at his own collar which is a little tight]

This one will be bet-- better.

[if it sounded lame it's only because he wasn't prepared damnit]

[fierybluebird]

[Marco laughs, completely enjoying how off balance Thatch is.]

[He wants to mess up his hair again, but he resists, sticking his hands in both of Thatch's coat pockets instead.]

Missed me, eh?

[thatched]

Like the bird misses the sky. Like the mermaid the sea.

[slides his fingers against Marco's throat]

But we have a job to do.

[and Marco has other better prospects]

[fierybluebird]

[He gulps at the fingers on his throat, and the promised words. Why is everything so much more romantic in bird? Probably because that's the whole of the language. Even serious things or flippant things are more romantic to a bird.]

[Still, he sighs, withdraws, and nods.]

Aye.

[Habit, the still whistling.]

[thatched]

[He likes the movement of Marco's throat a little too much. So he'll finish his cigarette and move ahead of him, but give him a nice healthy pat on the butt as he goes, feeling marginally better about it all.]
