The biggest couch by the fire is occupied.

The person sprawling there is wearing a purple velvet dress with short puffed sleeves and a long, heavy skirt. A rather attractive pair of feet, in sheer black stockings, are crossed at the ankle and propped up on one arm of the couch; the head leaning against the other arm has shoulder-length brown curls streaked with fading green, tucked back behind one ear to reveal a small pearl earring. No makeup. A glass of whiskey in one hand, a small bag of jelly beans in the other, and a pair of black shoes with low wedge heels perched on a couch cushion beside the feet they presumably came off of.

"Do I even want to know?"

Very, very cheerfully: "I bet you don't."

[smokeandstreets]

"No bet."

He laughs.

Tony shrugs.

"He can tie my ass up any day of the week s'long as he doesn't make me bleed, is all I'm sayin'."

[gunpowdergelatine]

"Not even a little? Where's the fun in that?" he teases.

[smokeandstreets]

Blithely: "I get all woozy."

[gunpowdergelatine]

"Awwwwwwwww," he says, sympathetically.
