    Summary

    Gideon grimaced and made a decision. “Alright, come on. Let’s do the thing.”

    “The what?” Harrow said, sounding moderately disgusted.

    Gideon moved close to Harrow again and tapped her on the shoulder. “I’m going to help you, but I’m doing it to prove a point. And the point is that you’re not trapped here, you’re freaking out for nothing, and you’re unfairly trying to abandon me.”

    “That’s three points,” said Harrow.

    Summary

    “Gideon,” replied Harrow, thoroughly bored of this interaction already and taking no pains to hide it. “There’s been a noise complaint about your social gathering, and as it is…” – she made a great show of checking the watch she didn’t own and therefore wasn’t wearing – “…ass and balls o’clock in the morning, I’m here to tell you to break it up and go to sleep like good little children.” She made sure to infuse ‘social gathering’ with the exact same tone of withering condescension she’d use to say, like, ‘debauched orgy’ or ‘World War II LARP session’ or ‘tea party with Ronald and Nancy Reagan.’

    Predictably, Gideon ignored her. Instead, she slouched even harder and more bonelessly against the doorframe and held her hand to her face in an upsettingly decent imitation of the thinking emoji. “Ortus again?” she asked eventually, her tone carefully pruned of all discernible emotion.

    “I take my role as senior resident of these halls of accommodation very seriously, as you well know, and it is my duty to investigate all complaints promptly and vigorously while protecting the anonymity of the complainant,” said Harrow officiously. “But yes, it was Ortus, because he is a big girl’s blouse.”

    He paused, offering her a tiny, sad smile. “That’s the thing about the dead, you know – they’re quite impossible to satisfy. I find the best thing to do is to stop trying.”

    --

    “Okay, fair point,” Gideon said mildly, her cheeks tinged faintly pink, and she sprang up, calling out “Text me, yeah?” casually back over her shoulder, as though she wasn’t carrying Harrow’s heart with her as she left.

    --

    "Oh, yeah,” Gideon said. “It’s all pretty good. I have an art exhibit coming up, actually, you guys should all come, it’s all about, like – subverting the male gaze, re-examining typical depictions of the female body from an equal perspective, you know, stuff like that.”

    “You just wanted to draw sexy ladies,” said Dulcinea, passing by with a luridly bright cocktail in her hand.

    “I just wanted to draw sexy ladies,” Gideon agreed, nodding placidly.
