[smirks] I'm never telling you everything.

Comments

[caecitas]

Then you are wise! Very wise.

excuse while my inner fangirl explodes

[barkingmad]

You say that now.

After last week my brain just exploded.

[suspense_kills_me]

I say that always.

[suspense_kills_me]

I like to think so.

[barkingmad]

She cracks open a bottle of red wine, and pours two glasses before showing him the label. Napa Valley 2008, a limited run pinot noir from a specific vineyard.

"Oh you'll talk, Red. You love to talk."

[suspense_kills_me]

Red gives the bottle a careful look over before turning his attention to his wine glass. After a tilt, swirl, sniff, and another swirl, he finally tastes the wine, holding off on his comment for now.

"Yes, I do. But that doesn't mean I tell everyone everything."

Besides, that would just be poor business practice.

[barkingmad]

"No, you're a showman. Nothing up your sleeve. Now, keep your eye on this hand while the other is doing lord knows what."

She's smiling as she speaks, as always, appreciative of anything he has to teach her.

[controlurmind]

Why not?

[itsnotmyhat]

I was hoping you wouldn't tell me your whole life story.

[caughtachill]

I could accept that, Mr. Reddington, so long as you tell me the things that I do want to know.

[suspense_kills_me]

"Excellent wine choice," he said choosing to use this time to make his comment about his drink rather than confirm or deny anything she said. Red was a bit of a showman, but only when circumstances called for it.

[suspense_kills_me]

It's no fun if I play all my cards at the beginning.

[controlurmind]

What iiiiiiif.... I gave you ten dollars?

[suspense_kills_me]

I wasn't planning on it. Besides, it's far too complicated for you to understand anyway.

[Then, just to be extra insulting, he adds his favorite mocking chuckle]

[suspense_kills_me]

No.

[barkingmad]

Ari laughs under her breath, well aware of what he's doing.

"You never cease to amaze, my friend. How long are you staying this time? I know a guy who can get us excellent seats at the Vanguard."

[controlurmind]

And a hot dog?

[itsnotmyhat]

[ Sherlock arches an eyebrow upwards and scoffs. ]

Is it now? I'm going to go as far, as to say, it is more boring than it is complicated! [ If it is a battle of insults, and Sherlock is very happy to return the favor. ]

[suspense_kills_me]

No.

[controlurmind]

[We're going to play a game. The game is called 'is the dumb human monkey too smart for alien mind control?']

Tell me your secrets.

[suspense_kills_me]

Believe me, it's anything but boring.

[Someone with the nickname The Concierge of Crime would have to have led an interesting life to get a nickname like that.]

[suspense_kills_me]

Well, that's a step in the right direction.

[Red drapes himself over the chair he's sitting in and crosses his legs]

What are you looking for?

[suspense_kills_me]

No.

[And he's suddenly very curious as to why that seemingly simple word is so difficult to understand]

[controlurmind]

[Shit]

Hm, you're smarter than the rest of them.

Unfortunate. I had been hoping for an easy information retrieval.

[itsnotmyhat]

Pfft! You simply want to keep your ego from being damaged by saying your life is anything but boring.

OOC

I don't claim to be much of an icon-maker - I'm not by any stretch of the imagination but I dabble when needs must, usually for more obscure fandoms - but I wanted to give you a quick thank you for introducing me to this show. Without your post it's more than likely that it would have passed me by altogether and, although I'm only a couple of episodes in, I already think it's genius.

Anyway, I noticed you were short of icons so I whipped up a small batch on the off-chance that you've been having trouble finding any online. (Plus, it means I get to icon James Spader. Win-win, right? :D)

Feel free to use all or none of them at your leisure!

[Red just laughs]

You're so brilliant? Shouldn't you already know my life's story?

[caecitas]

There is a fine line between thinking and doing! Some might call it a chasm.

[itsnotmyhat]

You are assuming that I have decided to pry. [ Sherlock gives Red a once over, as he tries to piece the man together. ] And, you haven't done anything to warrant me digging into the very depths of your life.

Re: OOC

[madman_inabox]

Awesome!! Thank you so much!

[suspense_kills_me]

"Just a few days. Like always."

And like always, there were a few deals to close and maybe just a bit of time to see the sights.

[suspense_kills_me]

[He'd done plenty for someone who styles himself as a detective to go digging around in his past. He'd always thought that being on the FBI's most wanted list, in the top five of said list, gave anyone reason to look]

That's surprising, to say the least.

[barkingmad]

"And like always, you're welcome to stay for as long as you like."

She hands him an envelope with a burner cell, two sets of keys, and a keycard.

"The car, the flat, and the building. And I left a bottle of the '73 Château Mouton Rothschild on the table."
