At least she hadn't lost an eye to the wild swinging of the mallet. That was something right there.

"I have no ideas. All tapped out," Vivi exuded loads of false innocence. She was all ideas, all the time, and no mistaking it. Even right now, she was thinking about stealing food, stalking the Minister, breaking the jaw of a Minister's assistant, finding Kennedy to discuss an idea she had, finding Emily to discuss a different idea, going home and snogging Max, and going to a pub with Aspen to kick off their shoes and eat chips until they exploded. All that happening inside her brain.

She hit her own ball, not nearly as hard and almost but not quite in the direction of the next wicket, before giving Aspen a measured look. "Yeah. I'm going to marry him. If he asks."


"Lie,
" Aspen pointed out. Vi wasn't capable of shutting her brain off and anyone WITH a brain knew that. In fact, her covering just led Aspen to believe that Vi was working overtime on ideas. Aspen was glad to be out in a "normal" capacity for work, but she wanted no part of a pity scheme.

She began a very critical review of her mallet, measuring it with her arm's length and then testing it's strength with her weight.

"If," Vi said if. "He seems the type that would drop hints prior."
