Indeed, if Adventure has a name, it's...

Where the bloody hell did you go? I know it’s in here somewhere, don’t worry? Oh, come on.

[Braxiatel is already packed, one gloved hand on the suitcase he is leaning against, the other holding a panama hat, and an unamused expression settled on his lips.] Bernice. You should have given it to me when I asked for it.

I said I knew where it was. And you know I’d find it a hell of a lot faster if you weren’t looking at me like that. [and she goes back to rooting around]

Oh, forgive me, Professor Summerfield. I’ll just stand here and admire Lyra, shall I? Vega looks lovely tonight.

Thank you.

[Benny goes back to looking through her bag and this starts playing somewhere]

Aha!

[Benny pulls out The Holy Bloody Grail and holds it up over her head, victorious.]

[With a click of a button, the music stops.] That belongs in a museum. Mine, precisely. Please hand it over now. Losing the same historical artefact twice in one day would look bad on your CV.

[Benny ignores Brax, examining the inside the Grail, before reaching her hand in and pulling something out. She places a bag of marbles in Brax’s hand and holds onto the Grail] I think those are yours.

Quite. It is a life that I could never have imagined.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Then I'm glad for that?

[although she does shoot Brax an amused look. He is..special sometimes.]

[ignoring the look]

I am. Now, we were discussing the Grail, I believe. And how it needs to be handed over to me.

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

Well, Mrs. Summerfield?

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Not bloody likely. He enjoys taking other people's property. You did agree when I handed it over, so if you would please?

[she waits patiently for her Grail to be returned to her]

[collector]

Don't worry, Caster. It will be mine eventually.

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

I do not wish to interfere with your arguments, Braxiatel, Mrs. Summerfield.

{She lets go of the grail and returns it}

So I leave you to that discussion.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

[she takes the Grail back]

There is no discussion, because it's mine now and shall remain so for the foreseeable future.

[collector]

Clearly, Benny doesn't foresee as far as I do.

Now, now, you shouldn't underestimate a woman who knows what she wants.
