[On the stage, Gwen is a fairly competent actress. She'll never be a headliner or an international star, but she'd get business, at least.

In real life, she's not quite as adept at hiding her emotions. And right now, she's fucking terrified.]

[looks innocent] Yes, of course you can. Do you happen to have any books on the crown jewels?

[beliefinholmes.livejournal.com]

N-not on the jewels themselves, no. B-but, um, we have volumes on the Tower of L-London or the history of th-th-the crown as a whole. Though that's just from, um, memory. We might have something in the archives, if you'd like m-me to check.

[kingofmagpies.livejournal.com]

[smiles slowly] I don't think you want to know the answer to that. I mean... I might have to have you killed if I told you. And why don't you go check? I'd hate to be displeased with the service here...
