there are two great houses at collinwood.
one alive with the present and the other slowly decaying,
filled with the dead memories of the past.

Why? You worried?


[ it's a quick response, yes, but in his mind, the night is still young. of course, roger has no idea of the nightlife in france. he hasn't been there terribly long, and his methods of communication are still limited by the translator on his phone (or even an english-french dictionary. nothing wrong with doing this old-school, after all). he's sitting at the bar of his hotel when he gets the text, and he's already answered by the time he reacts to it. a mixture of confusion (he might not be drunk quite yet, but some of the stuff's already made it up to his head), realization, and then - of course - utter and complete cockiness as he realizes that there's something compelling enough about him that she'd contact him again.

that was usually how it worked. it's good to know he's still got it.

he throws back a celebratory drink of his brandy, enough to finish it off, and then, after a beat, grabs the phone off of the counter.
