A Pink Corner House, Bristol, Friday Morning

[chosehumanity]

The portal dropped them off early Friday morning; Mitchell was never going to get around how strangely time acted when it came to moving between Bristol and Fandom, but at least there seemed to be some kind of method to the madness.

Maybe he'd take it up with Portalocity at some point.

The portal dropped them off in a nearby alley, two streets away from the house. The sun was just starting to peek its head 'round, casting a smattering of early, golden rays on the mostly empty streets. Mitchell set a brisk pace, and soon enough was rounding the corner into his street. "Almost there," he said, nodding towards the pink house at the end.

"Well, it's an insult," Annie said, shrugging and getting maybe a little defensive. "But that's hardly the point, is it?"

Mitchell headed back into the living room, holding a cup of tea of his own and smiling. "Did he really call you a slag?"

"Really!"

"Yeah, no, I get the point. Just checking," Kate said, taking care to stay on her best polite and friendly behavior. She reached for a cup. "So I don't accidentally get myself into too much trouble."

Mitchell grinned at her. He was dangerously close to letting himself slip into considering the whole scene some kind of family thing, so... don't mind the fact he seemed pleased.

"Don't go around calling anyone a slag," he advised.

"Except me," Annie said, wiggling happily. Then she paused. "...within reason."

Kate chuckled. "I'm pretty sure I can come up with nicer things to say to acknowledge that I can see you." Beat. "And far more colorful things to insult people with."

"She can," Mitchell said, seriously, "She really, really can."

Annie ignored him. "So what d'they teach you at the school?" she asked, excitably. "It's not like maths and stuff all the time, is it? I always hated maths, couldn't get my head on it."

Kate shot Mitchell a look of 'I knew you were going to say that' before replying.

"It's... not really a normal school. Even when it comes to what they teach. I mean, I'm taking Japanese etiquette and tradition, and a class on love and romance in Hollywood movies, right now. And Mitchell's class, obviously," she said, pursing her lips thoughtfully. "I'm pretty sure there was some sort of math class last term, but... Yeah, not really that kind of school."
