No capital sites, these days, are truly empty; they all have some full-time staff, combinations of wolves and nonessential vampires. The Australian site doesn't have any permanent wolf residents in it, but it has a couple of vampires who can talk to visitors and give out pamphlets and generally serve as Golden Coven presence.

One of them is where they land.

She blinks at them.

"Hello," Renata says, tilting her head.

"Um, hello," Nathaniel says, blinking back at her. "I'm Nathaniel."

Permalink
"I'm Renata," she says. "Um, welcome to the Australia capital site of the Golden Empire."

She is definitely looking at Nathaniel more than at the Joker.
Permalink

Yes. Nathaniel can see that. He is not sure how to feel about it, and therefore defaults to 'vaguely worried'.

Permalink

The Joker... observes the proceedings.

Permalink

"You're pretty," says Renata to Nathaniel after a long silence.

Permalink
Nathaniel blushes.

"Um. So are you," he says.
Permalink

She smiles.

Permalink

He smiles, too.

Permalink

Renata appears perfectly unselfconscious about just sort of staring at him. She's mostly looking at his face, although occasionally her eyes make lazy sweeps down and back up.

Permalink

Nathaniel's blush is slowly developing into a blushier blush.

Permalink

"Well, this is adorable," the Joker remarks.

Permalink

Renata tilts her head when the Joker talks, but she doesn't look at him.

Permalink

Heh. He smiles.

Permalink

Nathaniel glances at the Joker and dares to observe, "You know something."

Permalink

"I do!" he agrees.

Permalink

Renata has met the Joker before and apparently knows everything she wants to about what he knows. She has a question for Nathaniel. "Do you have all those magic wards on you?"

Permalink

"...um, what?" he says nervously.

Permalink

"There's a curl on your forehead and I want to put it with your other hair, but I don't want to accidentally hurt you," she explains.

Permalink

He gives the Joker a pleading look.

Permalink
The Joker snaps his fingers theatrically.

"All magicked up," he says.
Permalink

Renata moves her hand almost comically slowly, nonetheless, like she's trying to adjust for human tracking speed but doesn't know how much. She sweeps the curl from Nathaniel's forehead in among his other hair. She smiles again.

Permalink
Nathaniel... doesn't get out of the way.

When she's done, he looks at the Joker again.
Permalink

"She's sweet on you," he explains.

Permalink
He blinks.

"...Oh."
