Third Floor Common Room, Saturday Evening

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Wesley felt a little silly, entertaining his bratty child in the common room with board games that she seemed irrationally talented at. Honestly, what nine-year-old could beat a trained and experienced Watcher at Scrabble? He was positive that she was making the words up, but every time he consulted a dictionary, all he saw was Eloise's smug little face smirking at -- sure enough -- the word in question printed right there on the page.

Smug brat.

"I've had girlfriends before. I know how it works," Terry said.

Well, it was clear where his genes came from....

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

Suuuuure.

"I'm a princess. All I have to do is rescue you from something and we get married. That's how it works."

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"You're not rescuing me from anything," Terry scoffed.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Am too!"

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"From what?" Terry asked.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Whatever kidnaps you!" Maybe a dragon. GO FIND A DRAGON, TERRY.

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"Nothing's gonna kidnap me," Terry scoffed. AGAIN WITH THE SCOFFING.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Yes it will. Things always kidnap people."

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"You're wrong. I've never been kidnapped and I'm never gonna be kidnapped," Terry said.

Malaxandra hit him again. "You're my boyfriend. Shut up."

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"Ow! I don't even know your name, twip," Terry said, breaking out the future slang.

He only did it because she kept punching him.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Princess Malaxandra of Daventry. Now shut up." Hitting him again wasn't necessary, but she did it anyway.

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"Ow! No!" Terry said. "You're not the boss of me!"

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

Which only meant another punch. "We're dating!"

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"Ow! We're breaking up!" Terry said. "Prince Terry of Gotham says so!"

It was worth a shot.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Why would you break up with me?" Other than the punching.

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"Because you keep punching me!" Terry said.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"That's only because you're a jerk!"

Such a loving relationship already.

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"You were a jerk to me first, jerk," Terry pointed out.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"And you're rude!"

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"And you're a domestic abuser," Terry said.

Look, Gotham may have cleaned up a lot in terms of crime on the street, but it was still Gotham. Certain phrases hit the news regularly.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"...what's that?" DAVENTRY WAS A MAGICAL KINGDOM. A MAGICAL KINGDOM.

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"You hit boyfriends. That's wrong," Terry said.

[daventry-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Boyfriend. You're my only boyfriend." GOD, TERRY. "And you're still a jerk."

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"And now I'm getting off the couch," Terry said, hopping off the couch. "Because we're broken up."
