[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.

"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."

"You can probably do better."
HAIL
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?"
He's sleeping now. It's hard leaning precariously over the tub so we can drink bathwater.
He'd just looked at her and enrolled in SAIC.
"Acceptable," he pronounces. "Does he have a name, or is he the Artist Formerly Known as Brian?"
Such good emperor. Very cat.
Or for his own children, not his siblings young enough to have felt half like children when they were younger.
Much feline.

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."

"I don't know if a shark's the best choice," he says, though. "An octopus'd probably be more fun.

"Maybe." Her head shifts on his shoulder. "Are you really supposed to marry someone who's smarter than you are?"
no subject
"Just like I'm not going to marry another brilliant artist, maybe you shouldn't be looking for another complete nerd, princess."

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