"DON'T MOTHER ME, GIRL, I'M GONNA."
*Muttering a few choice but warm-feelinged curses under his breath he excused himself for a minute to duck back into his room and pull on his boots before returning to the hall, grinning at Lark.*
"Think I'll do?"

*Lark bit her lip and smiled. He sure did clean up nice.*
"Course."
*She touched his arm gently, remembering how much she missed him. Giving him room, she stepped back giving a half-spin that made the skirt of her dress bell for a moment.*
"You think we'll do together?"

"Like apples 'n onions," *he said with a grin, offering her his arm.*

*Lark laughed. She hadn't heard that in ages. She took his arm with a decisive nod and walked with him into the kitchen, surprised by the sight of another girl. Jake had never mentioned any other sisters and the only brother she remembered being the one back home. She lowered her face shyly, giving the hint of a curtsy.*

*Jake raised an eyebrow at Liz, but nodded to the young woman.*
"Jake Quinn, at yer service, I'm sure, ma'am. How do?"

*Lizzie nodded with a smug smile.*
"Jake, this is..." *There was the briefest moment where she wasn't sure if Alex would be keeping her name in her more feminine demeanor.*
"...my friend."
((*prays that Alex gets a chance to interject and save Lizzie's ass*))

((WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?))
*Jake nodded slowly. Liz's friend was a little funny-looking, for a girl, but cute. He smiled gently.*
"...and does yer friend have a name I c'n call her by?"

Alex smiled a mite saucily.
"Alexandra Abercrombie-O'Toole, and the pleasure is mine," she said, forgetting herself and bowing. The girl--must be Jake's girl--was cute, though clearly shy. She straightened up and laughed a little at herself. "I play trouser roles at the Opera," she said. "Sometimes I forget where I am."

"That a fact? Well I'll be--"
*He reached out and shook her hand.*
"Here I've been workin' at that opera the only one in Paris God knows how long an' we've never met before."

Alex shook his hand firmly and smiled.
"Funny, that," she said. Of all the luck. "Well, truth be told, I wasn't in the last one. What do you do, Mr. Quinn?"

*Lizzie smiled proudly. They were looking to get along just fine. And that was definitely worth a smile. She glanced to the woman at his side, suddenly wondering when Kip and Jamie would be showing. Hopefully not too soon.*

*Lark stood her ground quietly, watching Jake. There was just something about him that made her all weak in the knees. It was awfully nice. Her eye danced nervously, to Lizzie and about the kitchen.*

"Shovel shi--er, I work the stables out back. I'm in charge of the horses and carriages, mostly. And some of the show horses they use."

Alex grinned at Jake's near-slip, and decided they'd get on fine, as long as he didn't find out what she'd been doing to his sister.
"Well. That would explain things--I'm hardly important enough to get a horse in a production."

*Lizzie scrunched her nose for a moment. She almost dared to hope that this might just work. Wouldn't that be funny? She gestured at the other girl.*
"And Alexandra...this is Jake's gal Lark."
