[RL with Ariadne and Eames]

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

[The bustling metropolis was a bit too much for the sort of business they worked on, and that's why Arthur looked for a much more isolated place for their possible agency. And quite the place is was. Three stories, one for each one of them, a basement (that he liked to call 'limbo' for morbid reasons), and an attic. And a garden, a pool, and a huge library…if they were about to do this they would do it with style, damn it.

Arthur really liked the house-agency, and he hoped that Eames and Ariadne agreed with him about the place. He checked his watch and noticed that they would be there in less than five minutes, being late was something they rarely allowed themselves to be.]

Eames was a few minutes early, grinning a bit when he spotted Arthur. "Interesting location you've picked, love," he said, glancing at the house as he walked over to Arthur. Since there was no one else there yet, he leaned in to press a quick kiss to the other man's lips before stepping back. "Dare I ask why you've decided to assemble us all in Backwoods, Middle of Nowhere, USA?"

Arthur kissed him back and smiled, relaxed.

"Don't you think it's a nice place for a meeting? And ebfor eyou ask, yes, there's alcohol inside."

And enter Ariadne. She would have been there much sooner had she used her worldhopping device, but she had decided upon receiving the item that she would not rely on it for anything other than trips to Merlin or emergencies.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." She spoke with a smirk on her face.

Eames chuckled. "Not yet, you haven't. Possibly later, if what Arthur is saying about alcohol is true."

Arthru wans't expecting her to show up out of the blue, so he's a bit surprised.

"No, no..you are never a bother." He shot Eames a look. Then he look at the house. "What do you think?"

[archicheck.livejournal.com]

She took a moment to take everything in. It was, to say the least, very impressive. And given the floor they were on, very Arthur. She smiled as she observed all the details in place.

"I love it, of course. And what's this about alcohol?"

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

"Arthur is going to try and ply us with alcohol, and I, for one, am welcoming it," he teased.

"The house looks lovely," Eames added. "Though I'm curious why you brought us here. Is this a client's lovely abode, or are we being brought to the most reclusive vacation house in the whole wide world? Do tell, darling."

"Oh? This meeting sounds like fun already." She slipped off her jacket and looked to Arthur attentively, waiting to hear what they were all there for.

"It's not a client's home no” Arthur lead them inside, smiling,. “It's our new agency.”

He took a moment to study their reactions before continue. “I brought this house, and decorated part of it. I thought that since we don't have to hide from, let's say, the law and order, we could look as respectable as we are now.”

Eames raised his eyebrows and looked at Arthur with some surprise, though he certainly wasn't displeased. "Darling, you surprise me. I wouldn't have pegged you for someone who'd buy a house on a whim," he said, before looking back at the house with a curiosity in his expression.

"It's certainly nice-looking on the outside. Though it seems rather large for just working." The silent question being: are we living there as well as working?

I AM A TERRIBLE PERSON AND FORGOT ABOUT THIS THREAD. SO SORRY. ;_;

"Seconding the surprise," Ariadne said with a nod. She began to study the area with more concentration. Suddenly it meant much more to her.

"There are at least three or four floors. Do we really need all that for just the three of us?"

XD Don't apologize, it happens. ♥

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

“I didn’t buy it on a whim, I actually thought about something like this time ago. Before...Mal. And all the troubles but it was never possible.” Arthur was silent for a moment, thinking. “There are four floors, and a basement. The first would work as an agency, if you like the idea. I will live there too once I move my things in. “He admitted, answering Eame's unsaid question.

“And we would need four floors, I wanted to talk you about someone joining the team, but only if we all agree. We should discuss this inside.”

<3 No worries!

[notjustathief]

"Oh, Arthur, you're so much more mysterious than I give you credit for," Eames said warmly. "Alright, inside we shall go, though I'm curious to see what exactly you've done with this place. And hear exactly who this new team member is."

<3

Alexia was practically bouncing on her toes as she followed Arthur inside. A new building to explore, a new job, and someone new to work with? The possibilities were endless.

More vocal about her curiosity, she asked the question at hand first. "Who did you have in mind?"

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

Arthur smiled, both at Eames's comment and Ariadne's excited reaction. “A woman names Elektra Natchios, she's part of the community.”

He lead them to a living room and let them a moment to look around before to gesture to the comfy chairs and couch in the middle of the room. “She's smart and trained in combat too, lately her life went trough some changes, and I think that this association could benefice us all. “ And while he didn’t say it out loud it was clear in Arthur's voice that he appreciated her.
