‡3rd Treasure‡ Accidental Video

[The feed clicks on to reveal Koltira and Chloe in some dark, nondescript alleyway. Chloe's muttering about how she doesn't have a choice, struggling weakly, her eyes unfocused. Koltira speaks to her in soothing tones--or about as soothing as his tone gets, at any rate--telling her to calm down, to see reason, et cetera. He has one arm looped around her waist, and the other holds both of her wrists still; the grip is clearly firm but gentle, meant to pacify, not to harm.

After a moment, Koltira notices that Chloe's dropped tablet is on and recording. He addresses it, his tone markedly more agitated than just a moment ago.]

Chloe is out of her mind. I know not why, but she had her own gun to her mouth.

[There's a short delay before Chloe speaks up, her voice unsteady and tired. It's a pale attempt at lying, but it goes without saying that she's embarrassed once she realizes the feed's running, so she makes it regardless.]

Seriously, mate, I'm fine. Ease up.

I might just have to leave that in your hands, love. Not much in the mood for it.

I'll give you a raincheck for a free lap dance to use at your discretion. [Straight face.] Let's go for a short walk. Your bodyguard can come, if he likes.

[totallytrustworthy]

Sweet. Count me in.

[It's forced enthusiasm, but she and Koltira concede to trudge along for a walk.]

How's the flat coming along?

[There's a small smile as a reward for her false cheer, but he isn't expecting it.] The walls are getting fixed, slowly but surely. I can probably get a good bit done if it wasn't boring and less interesting than the people outside.

Yeah, well, I don't blame you much there. I'm not really the domestic type, and housework just sounds like a chore.

Maybe pay Gordon to do it for you.

[strategic_guile]

[Snorts] Pay him? What I want to pay him he won't want.

My room doesn't have a lot of work to be done. It's you guys' rooms and the living room that need the most work.
