paradisa | ℙ the twenty first;

[Anyone listening over the journal will possibly hear the wooden snap of clothespins being popped off of the line and a light slosh of water in what may or may not be a sink or basin. Water might splatter onto the page of the journal, since Katherine actually doesn't want to sit around and watch clothing dry.]

Cleaning out a closet and finding shopping bags from Paris, from Christmas last year, that had never even been opened and put away - at least it gave me something to do today.

[Considering Katherine spent nearly her last six months in the castle dealing with corsets and bloomers -- it's no wonder that she didn't dig deep into that closet earlier.]

I will say, hand-washing is the most tedious task to do. [She says this as she hangs up another camisole top onto the line in the laundry room. The laundry room which now has a pile of discarded paper shopping bags and boxes, with colored tissue papers and ribbons all on the floor at her feet. The laundry room where the available lines are strung up with lace bras and frilly things that one would buy in Paris if they had the ability to compel anyone and everyone that was working retail there. The laundry room where anyone is welcome to come and be frustrated that she's taken up all that space.]

I think you need to refresh your definition of "waiting long".

I finally figured out what to get you for Christmas.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Point.

Maybe I'll donate them to the cause. [She smirks.] I have to admit that I really want to see this.

And then I have to console you through a nervous breakdown because I wear it better? I don't think so.

You have nice hips, Damon. I might be able to cope with the hit to my ego.

I'm pretty sure we can find better things to do with my hips that crush your self-esteem

Crush - yes.

Self-esteem? Not quite what I was thinking. [Hey, some of this stuff should be dry. She'll start taking it off the line.]

[A very long-suffering sigh.]

Just how many unmentionables did you compel for, Katherine?

[She laughs.]

Are you bored with our conversation already?

I've been waiting for you to say something interesting for the past ten minutes.

I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment.

I'll forgive it this time.

Mm. You're so kind-hearted.

Are you on a loss?

[He laughs.]

Sticks and stones, Miss Katherine.

At least what I say is amusing you.

Are you proud of yourself?

Exceptionally.

[OH. More putting things away in her adorable laundry basket.]

Well then, we both win, don't we?

I think I'm holding this prize hostage.

[A very audible, sulky pout.]

Now you're just being mean...

I think it's for your own good, Damon. [A strict, but playful tone as she tugs something else off the line, hard enough to let the clothespin snap.]

[He absolutely refuses to acknowledge that.]

I beg to differ. You get much more favorable results by being nice to me.

I think I'm being very nice to you. [Another garment off the line and another clothespin goes FLYING across the laundry room. Someone might lose an eye.]

[Well fine, Katherine. If you're just going to keep at it...]

Weren't you just complaining about the mere idea of me ruining those?

[she sighs, someone lost the game already.]

The clothespins? I think they're fine.

You sure? Sounded like it hit the wall pretty hard.

[She turns around and glances to the ground.]

Nope. All good.

Katherine
