( Magically, but also in small towns. Prague is... big. But, she could see what she can do. As for the information she has to go on! )

All these friends, Danny. Do you know where he frequents? Why he's here? Could you ask that friend?

[undermyfeet]

Isaac probably has a hotel somewhere?

[There, one of the mysterious friends has a name.]

But he's got this tech wizard that he travels with, so I don't even know what names the rooms are booked under. And I know do know why he's here, but that doesn't really help much.

[He's just hoping that Isaac isn't right.]

[jockwitch]

So, you're longshotting maybe finding Isaac, who might be staying in a hotel under a celebrity pseudonym because a Felicity Smoak travels with him? Do you think that maybe you're the shady one here?

( Do shady people have shady friends. His accent is cute, though. )

[undermyfeet]

In my defense, I never claimed I wasn't.

[The statement is accompanied by a totally charming grin that's sure to earn him brownie points.]

I just said that I was put off by other shady people.

[jockwitch]

( Yeah, it definitely does the trick. She has a type, after all. )

Shade finds shade?

[undermyfeet]

Something like that, I guess.

[Honestly, he's not that shady, he's just not sure what to tell her.]

I'd like to think I've got minimal shade. Like a tree at noon.

[jockwitch]

Better than a tree at nine.

( Does she laugh? At her own joke? Only slightly. )

So. What do you know? Facts. Does Isaac have a last name? Or, an occupation? He's obviously not from Prague. Is he UK?

[undermyfeet]

His last name is Lahey. He's American. He works for an international ...

[Hunter outfit?]

... Business doing threat assessment.

[Yeah. That's a good cover.]

[jockwitch]

Threat assessment? That sounds very Jack Bauer meets... Jack Bauer. Is your family friend's friend part of the Queen's...

( Give her a second? )

Scotland Yard? Are you undercover? ...How old are you?

( Is he skeeving right now? )

[undermyfeet]

Not that old.

[And then he realizes how that sounds and ...]

I'm eighteen. Truly.

[But now that that's been established:]

But no, not Scotland Yard.

[jockwitch]

( Truly. Well, she can take that at face value. )

Mhm. Your tree's covering everything in shade again, Danny. ( You may want to trim it back. ) I guess my family friends have friends, too. But, small towns do that. Big European countries don't usually. ( No reason to worry about it now. ) I should let you continue your search for your needle in Prague.

[undermyfeet]

[Look, if he knew she was a witch this would be a much different story. But he'll just nod as he steps away, not wanting to feel like she's forced to share his company.]

Enjoy your trip, Elizabeth.

[But with that, he'll turn and disappear into the crowd. /scene]

[jockwitch]

( Nobody can force her to share anyone's company... unless it's school related or she's been trapped. But in these circumstances.

She... watches him go. And his accent. And he has a cute butt.

//scene whoops )
