Saturday, in the park -- the twelfth of May, not the fourth of July. The rest of the week passed with less excitement than the weekend.

When Elizabeth called up and invited Auggie out on an afternoon walk, he was more than happy to accept. It's only natural for them to link arms once they get off Vivi -- she's being his guide, after all.

"What part of 'she's a PA' didn't you understand? Being a little bit psychic is in her job description."

[seeagreatergood]

"I've never had nor been a PA, what do I know about what they do?"

[prima-sequentem.livejournal.com]

"Well, I've been a PA's best friend for years, and what they do seems to be what nobody else thinks of."

[seeagreatergood]

"Yikes. Tough job."

[prima-sequentem.livejournal.com]

"Yep. It's why she likes getting the coffee. Three coffee orders is refreshingly simple, apparently."

[seeagreatergood]

He laughs.

"Got it. Still seems like kind of a busman's holiday, though."

"You know, I keep trying to tell her that..."

[seeagreatergood]

"Some people are just stubborn, I guess."

[prima-sequentem.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Yes they are."

"Your coffee, you incorrigible gossip," says Virginia from just over James's shoulder.

Auggie gives a self-deprecating grin in Virginia's direction.

"Thanks, Virginia. So Elizabeth tells me you're a PA."

"And here's yours," she says, setting the cup down in front of him (dead centre) and taking the third seat at the table. "Yes I am."

[seeagreatergood]

"So, okay, semi-psychic and traveling a lot. Very cool. Where are you based out of?"

[most-capable.livejournal.com]

"New York, mostly."

[seeagreatergood]

"The center of the universe, huh?"

[most-capable.livejournal.com]

"That is the impression it tries to give, isn't it?" she agrees.

[seeagreatergood]

"That's how I remember it, anyway. It's been a few years since I visited."

"It's deadly boring," Elizabeth says cheerfully. "That's why I have to get away at every possible opportunity. If it weren't for the math I'd go nuts."

[most-capable.livejournal.com]

"Stop it, or one day someone will take you seriously."

[seeagreatergood]

"You think New York is boring? I mean, I know it's not the center of the universe, clearly that title belongs to DC, but boring? If I didn't know better I'd think you didn't know how to have fun."

"I am fucking with you," she confesses in an admirable deadpan.

[seeagreatergood]

"But are you kidding me, too?"

[most-capable.livejournal.com]

(Virginia giggles.)

[prima-sequentem.livejournal.com]

"Okay, I walked right into that one, didn't I."

[seeagreatergood]

"Pretty much."
