With Kirkcaldy placated and Aure seemingly babbling nonsense, n'Barit finally resumed reattaching his leg. Ideally he would have taken his pants off, but with Kirkcaldy on his lap that maneuver would be too hard. He wanted to keep Kirkcaldy close until they were rid of this Aurelius freak. He trusted this stranger not one bit.
Feeding the prosthetic bac through the pants leg, n'Barit positioned it where it belonged and twisted it into place. He would have chosen a more permanent model, but he took the prosthetic off when he went swimming, which was at least once a week, so he valued the convenience of being able to drop it at a moment's notice. Even if that moment often seemed to happen at the most inopportune times.

Aure sat there, glowering at n'Barit. "You asked how many different kinds of an idiot I was," she said pointedly. "I only answered."
At that moment, a black car pulled up near the alley where they were sitting. It would have passed by except the silohuette seemed to notice something and put the Audi into reverse. It came to a complete stop, perfectly paralell-parked. The door opened, closed.
Aure flinched.
A man in an impeccable black suit with a chaffeur's cap approached for a moment before coming to a dead stop. "Miss Aurelius!" He sounded as if someone had just slapped him with a wet codfish. "You're absolutely filthy! What will your grandmother say?"
She tried to wave him off as he came over and pulled her up. Going completely limp and throwing all her weight on him didn't seem to help, either; he stood 6'6" and wasn't exactly a weed. "Behave," he chided her, standing her up. He turned to n'Barit and said, with great deference, "I'm sorry. Was Miss Aurelius bothering you? Sometimes she seems to think that she is quite the equal of any adult when she is not." He aimed this last at Aure. "We'll be going now, seeing as she now must change for dinner..."

"Filthy and disrespectful," muttered n'Barit under his breath, and had to close his eyes to repress the shudder of revulsion that coursed through him. He felt dirtied already. Worse, he felt Kirkcaldy had been stained by the encounter. He had to go cleanse her before anything else. Purity above all other virtues.
Kirkcaldy was not so concerned with the morality of it. "Kay-mm," she said, shaking her silver-and-red bauble at Aurelius. It might have been construed as a farewell. Certainly n'Barit was not so forthcoming. He was perfectly happy to be rid of Aurelius without ever having another conversation with her. He already had the last word in his own mind, he needed no parting jibe. Let Kirkcaldy give the goodbye for both of them, it suited him just fine.

"Bye, Kay~" Aure waved and smiled at the younger Illusionary, then turned to the blonde man behind her. "Katan, I am not going to change. Grandma can complain all she wants. I'm fine," she said as he frog-marched her back to the Audi, then helped her in.
He hummed, shutting the door behind her. "Yes you will," he- Katan?- said to the open window. While he walked around the car, he bowed to n'Barit again. "Have a pleasant evening!"
The car door slammed again, the window shut- probably by Katan's influence- and they drove off.
[THE END?!?!?]
