Time passes. Juliet practices, Shell Bell makes squares - increasingly irritable about it, she really doesn't like the perpetual discomfort, but she bites down on that as best she can and churns them out - and Tony installs things.
Finally he has installed enough things.

"Er," says Giles, adjusting his glasses. "Yes. Likewise."

"If you can tell the Sherlocks apart, do let on now, so I can stop trying to avoid giving you clues," laughs Juliet.
"You're the local," he says, pointing.
"The clothes," says Giles.

Plus looks from his own rather drab white button-down and navy jeans to Minus's black silk shirt and motorcycle boots.

"Bells seem to trend towards default clothes. That's witch silks for Amariah and that leather flying outfit for Angela but the rest of us wind up in jeans and t-shirts, and eventually, when appropriate, crowns on top," says Bella. "I wonder why you have different styles."

"Well. Another sequence?" proposes Juliet, and without particularly waiting for an answer she turns her hand on Minus's shirt into a throw. (It's not like it's tactically useless. She can play bait, let vampires think she's not wise to them, and then surprise!)

"Thanks. I think I can smooth it out, though, let's do that one one more time."

But so's she. She wins again, but she needs another smoothing round to correct for his improved start, and then she's smooth.

"Why thank you." A peck right on the end of his nose, and then she stands ready and says, "Surprise me."
