[ they'd only talked briefly, but he'd stood out, both as someone who'd been somewhere else like this before being brought here and as someone else who'd been gathering information. it's interesting that he'd decided she was someone trustworthy after a relatively brief interaction, but then it's not his first time somewhere like this. maybe bonds need to get built quicker. ]
I'm pretty sure I've made the same mistake and either no one cares or they're too polite to correct me or ask for it back. The username, mostly. But I'm usually one of the last ones down for breakfast and you got there a little after me.

[ so just as observant as harcourt herself tends to be — although she hadn't been that morning in particular, at least not enough to know she hadn't picked up the wrong jacket. ]
didn't know it was a competition but i can always stay in bed longer if you've got a record going

@andor
I found some information.
no subject
What about?
no subject
[which, even if he doesn't know her particularly well, he can guess she's already concluded, in some form.]
I can show it to you.
no subject
Yes. Please.

There's a spare kitchen below the main one, on the first floor. As far as I've been able to tell, it doesn't move. Meet me there.
no subject
And what do you want in return, if you're sharing this with me?
no subject
[that gives him enough time to make sure they're clear — as best he can.]
I don't want anything in return, but maybe we can keep an open line. Share information as we find it.
[that's the only way to survive a place like this. something tells him she has a sense of that.]
no subject
All right. Deal.
See you in an hour.

Occupational hazard. Sorry.
no subject
I'd save the apology. You might need it when it's actually yours to make.
@harcourt
look familiar?

You're new, right?

how'd you guess?

I'd be willing to take that bet, but I haven't met many people I'm willing to break that record with.
no subject
but going hard the night before usually makes it easier

They have a cellar for the really good stuff if you're interested.
no subject
rich people top-shelf kind of stuff?
no subject
You in?
no subject
rich as they are
they probably won't even miss it
