The darkness of the rest of the suite is sliced apart by a broadening shaft of light from Indy's bedroom. The owner of the bedroom appears at the opening door in boxer briefs. He's about to say something, but on spotting Delia in the kitchen he leans against the wall and smiles, observing quietly for a while. Watching the silky negligee material hug her curves and watching it sheen in the flourescence from above. Watching her; no small amount of adoration in his gaze.

She hadn't said anything about a round two. But, surely that's what the coffee is for...

[you never know, with Delia]

[she smiles, not turning around]

I know you're watching, Indy.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

His eyebrow arches. He wasn't trying to be inconspicuous.

"But do you know why I'm watching?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

I could make several guesses.

[a sidelong glance and a smile]

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

The eyebrow stays up.

"I think you'd be wrong," he replies a little smugly.

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

That so?

Will you enlighten me, then?

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps I'm waiting for you to enlighten me."

His eyes drift to the coffee preparation.

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

I asked first.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

"So?" Indy replies stubbornly, padding around the counter and stopping directly behind her.

He circles his arms around her waist and kisses her bare shoulder, then rests his chin there, carefully taking in the set up for the brew.

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

So ladies first.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Indy sighs. "Fine."

"You know, one day I'm just gonna be resolute and not let you charm me into defeat."

The caressing fingers on her hips say otherwise...

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[a little smug smile]

That will be an interesting day, Indy.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Dubiously, "mmhmm..."

Another kiss. "Other than the obvious reasons like gorgeous lover in pretty lingerie, I am intrigued by your coffee."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Not trying to steal my secret, are you?

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Indy's invisible halo slips a little, and he bites his lip.

"Possibly. Because I just don't get it. From disaster to the best damn coffee I've ever tasted. Better than Mike's, mine, Bar's and definitely better than Alanna's."

A slight chuckle. "I told you about her attempt at a filterless brew the other day, right?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[a little, wicked laugh]

Yes, you did. And maybe I'm just talented.

[beat]

I've got something on her.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Indy's fingers pause in mid-stroke. "You do? And you're going to tell me with no bribery or teasing, of course."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more along the lines of your thanks will be lovely enough.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

"Well, in that case... lay it on me," he states brightly. "Reward negotiable, dependent on the relative juiciness of the gossip."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[she walks her fingers up his chest]

Alanna has boyfriend.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Indy narrows one eye. "Please God tell me it's Adam Young."

He sends up a little prayer to whoever makes these things work out so perfectly.

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

But of course. Thom was so helpful.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Indy screws up his face victoriously.

"Hah! I knew it!"

"She's been denying it for over a month now. Ooooh, she is in so much trouble for lying to me."

He gives her a very grateful kiss. "You, my dear, have earnt yourself a big reward. Thank you."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[she laughs]

Oh, good.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Indy is beside himself with happiness right now. Not quite bouncy Lilly glee, but pretty damn ecstatic. It's sad really...

"Heh. I think I just had an idea for a Say True article, or maybe a letter to the Advice Column," he says with a snicker.
