[Elisha/Eileen] Open the Kraken

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man, regardless of how many buildings he might own or how many staff he might have, will on a biweekly basis find himself slumped in the shoe department at Nordstrom, surrounded by more bags than should be counted.

At least that was Elisha's experience.

Luckily, the number of buildings he owned and the amount of staff he had on payroll meant that the very sympathetic sales associate (who was also very grateful for the extra commission that an Eicheln-Kagan visit meant) had brought him coffee. Which he was sipping as he eyed his younger sister, and her shoes.

"How do you even find stilettos with fish on them?"

Did squid count as a fish? He wasn't sure.

Well, that's certainly something to light up and swing hands about.

"I do solemnly promise and swear to make certain your children are incredibly well-protected and date no one before the age of 35."

Kidding.

Or not.

As you do. /offers tea

"Entirely terrible of you, true. Like everything you do."

Or, well. Like nothing. There had been rough times, after all, but never moments of Elisha being less than a wonderful big brother. But who says that? No one.

"In the spirit of transparent fairness, though, the nearest threat to my singledom is all the way in Connecticut. Locked and loaded to stay a spinster until you have kids to terrorize."

If only there were cities in Connecticut.

Or, well, if only cities in Connecticut weren't the size and style of Hartford.

"Relax. The entire state is a suburb of New York." Which, well. Is actually slightly true. "And he's an artist. Isn't that better than an i-banker?"

Such good emperor. Very cat.

"His name is Charlie." And Elisha's shoulder is still just about the perfect height for resting against when she's in low-slung heels. "And he's probably not coming out here any time soon, so you can save up your protective mojo for a later date."

Or for his own children, not his siblings young enough to have felt half like children when they were younger.
lowtohigh: (y. that cannot be correct)

"See, this is where trust breaks down between us. You're terrible with boys I bring home."

Although, to be fair, her track record had contained quite a few more assholes than decent young men. Also to be fair, there hadn't been all that many brought home since she started getting happily lost in her studies.

"Just going to give up and marry a shark someday, you know."

It's a chapter of life which can remain solidly closed. Solidly.

"Maybe." Her head shifts on his shoulder. "Are you really supposed to marry someone who's smarter than you are?"

"For the sake of our love, I'm going to pretend you said 'another nerdy scientist,' mm?"

Which is, she's fairly certain he knows, the technical term for marine biologists.
