The Tams' house at New Mayfair is slightly less tidy than usual -- necessarily, with a reluctant invalid occupying the sitting room full-time. But the cleaners still know their job, and appearances must be kept up. Which is why the upstairs hallway, like all the rooms except the one Gabriel is more or less living out of, is still ruthlessly and tastefully tidy.

There are, of course, doors in this house that even the cleaners and security force don't know about.

Magic will do that kind of thing.

There is a shadow in the hall that is darker than it was a moment ago.

In a few moments it resolves into the shape of River and Galadan, though the Wolflord seems to lean on River for a moment or two.

Traveling from Milliways is a tiring prospect, on occasion.

"Shall we?"

He doesn't shake his head, just shifts away slightly, and begins striding down the hall.

"I suspect he's in his study."

Galadan more than suspects, actually. He's rather good at tracking, and there aren't many places that Gabriel could reasonably be.

Galadan doesn't laugh, though his lips twitch, just the littlest bit.

"I should have suspected you did."

And there's the door. He pauses before it, perhaps to see if River will knock, or not.

Galadan stifles the beginnings of a smile.

"Gabriel? You are home at the moment, I presume?"

One of them needs to keep up appearances.

"I'm not quite sure where else I should be, as yet," he calls back, dryly.

Gabriel is sitting in his preferred armchair, reading over a series of documents that Mark Jiang had sent over earlier in the day. He looks up with a smile, one that grows rather more startled and pleased when he sees his daughter.

"... River."

Galadan steps into the doorway, sliding past River.

"And I appear to be serving primarily as transport."

He casts a quick look down at the girl.

"I do hope the trip was not overly unpleasant."
gabriel_tam: (his casual look)

[personal profile] gabriel_tam 2007-09-11 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I can think of several transport companies that would give anything to have a skill such as yours," Gabriel informs Galadan.

"It's good to see you both-- come in, please."

He moves to set aside his files, clearly intending to get up.

[personal profile] wolflord_andain 2007-09-11 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Really."

Galadan's voice is dry, if amused.

"If only I were not so invested in keeping myself from the public eye."

He eyes Gabriel narrowly.

"Don't strain yourself, Senator."

Galadan raises an eyebrow at River.

"Can I expect to be accosted with what most people call 'snack food'?"

The term sounds odd on his tongue.
wolflord_andain: (Default)

[personal profile] wolflord_andain 2007-09-17 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Dinner should serve well enough, thank you."

He settles himself at the kitchen table, grey eyes still fixed on River.

"Someone here is a reasonably decent cook, I imagine?"
wolflord_andain: (Default)

[personal profile] wolflord_andain 2007-09-17 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Galadan's lips twitch.

"You might, I suppose, also have no taste. It has been known to happen."
wolflord_andain: (ironic)

[personal profile] wolflord_andain 2007-09-17 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
And, in what may be a fit of daring, Galadan rolls his eyes at her in turn.
wolflord_andain: (small smile)

[personal profile] wolflord_andain 2007-09-17 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Galadan laughs, as well.

Though his is certainly far quieter than River's--and his hair is not long enough to cover his face.

More's the pity.
wolflord_andain: (Default)

[personal profile] wolflord_andain 2007-09-17 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Nothing untoward has happened in the time I've been--otherwise occupied, I hope?"

There are ways in which River is more direct than Gabriel Tam.

At least in Galadan's opinion.
