Aha. Not today, sucker. The string is whipped away, out of reach again and creating a path across the desk that is, hopefully, not over anything essential.
Adelaide's hand against her own makes the cat teasing stop, string stilling and leaving it open to finally be captured, and for a second she's so surprised that she has the look of someone who might be about to be chastised, lostness mixed in with it.
"I'd like that," Red start, and her voice sounds a little dry and rough, so she drops her gaze and clears her throat before looking back to Adelaide again. With less embarrassing emotion: "Sounds good to me."
And, with a quiet laugh. "Just wait. A Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall is not to be sniffed at." And then a moment of oh dear. "Or to be ordered in front of a Chantry sister, probably." Yay working for religious organisation sort of things.
