[whistling while working, paying no mind.]

Eh... Perdonez-moi...

[She's hiding in a barrel, she wasn't fortunate enough to be wearing much when she timeshifted.]

[he looks up curiously, and it's only then that the whistling stops and the fingers still. he's working on some kind of mechanical thing, but it's hard to tell what it is with his hands all over it. girl in a barrel. strange.]

Hello there, pretty bird. Where'd you come from, then?

Well, I'd be happy to tell you, if you could perhaps throw me something to wear first.

[smiiiiiiirk]

Now what would I be doing that for, when you make such a pretty picture just as y'are?

["couth" isn't really something Burke does well.]

[Fantastic...]

If you prefer getting the snot beaten out of you by a practically naked and very annoyed woman, then by all means leave that smirk right where it is and do nothing more.

[Not one of her more charming days, this.]

[he laughs outright. he can't help it. but it's at least prompted him into somewhat gentlemanly behavior; he's pulling off layers to give her one of his shirts, which he promptly tosses at her]

Oho, she's got teeth, hasn't she? Forgive me, madam, it seems I've misjudged you. Though I have to say, I don't think I've got anything on me that'll be fittin' you proper, but you're welcome to that in the meantime.

You have no idea. And thank you.

[She catches the shirt and stands up to put it on. She's not all that shy really, the hiding was mostly to not attract the attention of too many people at once. There are so many ways people can take public semi-nudity that are highly inconvenient.]

[a grin and a sort-of-bow that's probably mostly disingenuous]

So how did you manage to end up in that barrel, then?

[She quirks an eyebrow.]

How does "the devil dropped me there" sound to you?

(deleted comment)

Does it, now?

[innocent!smirk. yes, that's exactly what it is.]

(deleted comment)

Perhaps. But it'd hardly benefit you to know, would it?

[a pause]

Not plannin' on bein' in that building over there in a bit by chance, are you?

[points in a general thataway direction]

[A woman in a pink dress tilts her head, looking curious at him]
Now that's fascinating

[and he looks curious right back, although he makes no move to hide what he's doing]

Beg pardon?

That bomb you are building. The structure is quite different from what I've seen. And I've seen a lot.

Familiar with explosives, are you?

[and now he's very curious. so curious he's stopped what he's doing entirely to give her his full attention]

Quite.
[This amuses her greatly]

Oh? Well do tell, that isn't something I would have expected from a woman such as y'rself.

Eh... Perdonez-moi...
