[messing with something breakable, possibly yours?]

Was it important...? Yes...it was my livelihood. It's my work computer... [frowns slightly, giving her an odd look] Wait, sahib? [slow blink as he takes in her outfit] Whoa...

[apologetic] I did not mean to break it...if you wish it fixed...? [looks to him, hopefully]

[gives her a skeptical look] You can do that? I'd love to have it fixed...

[nods, folding her arms and blinking three times]

[poof! computer is back together in his hands as if it was never broken] There you are.

[nearly drops the computer, his eyes widening in surprise] Holy s- How'd you do that?

Well, it was the least I could do. [smiles brightly, happy to have helped...even if she was the one to cause the problem in the first place]

[carefully sets the computer aside and then looks at her curiously] Um, how did you get in here? Who are you?

[her smile deflates] I am in trouble, right? I'm sorry, it's just I tend to get bored sitting in my bottle all day and sometimes...I tend to fiddle with the wrong things.

Trouble? No, no, you're not in- [blinks] Wait, did you say bottle?

[nods, pointing off behind him at a small table with a rather gaudy purple bottle sitting on it]

[blinks, never having seen that bottle before] Whoa...so you're, what, a genie?

[breaks into a smile, he guessed it!] Yes, I am!

[brings his hand up to his face, covering his mouth. He's completely floored] I thought they only existed in stories.

[grins brightly] But we do exist in stories. Half of the fun is the stories.

[smiles] So...what are you doing here?

...um...welll....I was bored. And this...Macbook?...looked quite interesting...

Oh. [grins] Well, yeah, it is pretty cool. [gives her a hesitant look as he opens the Macbook, setting it up on the coffee table and turning it on] It lets me do my work from anywhere.

[watches with interest] What sort of work do you do, sahib?

I'm a graphic designer. I design ads for businesses. Fliers, business cards, whatever they need, really. [opens an example of his work (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Ibonekoen/projects/clotheslineproject-edit.jpg) and turns the screen so she can see it]

[looks and smiles approvingly] You are a very good artist, sahib.

[grins brightly] Thanks... You can just call me Des though.

[bows slightly, hands folded] A pleasure, sahib Des. You may call me Jeannie.

[grins and bows his head] Jeannie. Of course, that makes sense. Well, welcome to my home.

[smiles delightedly] Thank you sahib Des. It is a nice home, have you lived here long? [up and wandering around, looking at stuff...and possibly touching things again]

[shrugs a little, keeping an eye on her to make sure she doesn't break anything again] A couple of years. I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri.
