Natalie's Apartment, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Saturday
Well, this was one way of recuperating from any work stress that may have been happening, as well as the stress of wondering whether some birthday gifts had been a good idea. How had Natalie not thought of this before?
Oh, right. It was because turning into an eight-year-old wasn't exactly within her usual abilities. And wasn't something she would've chosen, anyway. But here it was. She'd gone to bed a young woman in her late teens, and woken up a kid. She'd still gotten up at around the same time, but then she'd put on her fake glasses and started on a different kind of day. One that – as Peter would probably be thankful for – was unlikely to involve going outside the apartment much. Or at all. There was plenty to explore right here! And, there was Mr. Moxy. And Natalie knew you had to take good care of pets, and she'd never had one, and she was going to take advantage of a situation where she could care for one.
Mr. Moxy, of course, couldn't muster up being confused by this turn of events. He was a Fandom cat, these things happened. As long as he was getting fed, he was fine.

Naturally that meant he was hitting random buttons and calling Haiti by accident...

Natalie struggled a bit with her phone – it was way modern compared to what she was used to – but she was a smart girl and so managed to answer the call after a moment.
"Bonjour, hello, this is Natalie Adams speaking?"
no subject
Cade and "inside voice" were not mix-y things.
no subject
She'd had to pull the phone away from her ear and everything!

Adams women got their way through being quietly terrifying.

That was probably best for everyone involved.
Instead, he'd shown up to Port-au-Prince early in the morning, had lunch with several dignitaries, checked into the hotel he probably wouldn't wind up sleeping at, and now he was standing outside Natalie's apartment, banging on the door.
no subject
And she even managed to get the door open despite some minor bafflement.
"Oh. Hello, Peter."
Look, Peter, you got a very tiny and very brief smile. That totally made up for the very definite weetininess, right? That and the adorable fake glasses.
no subject
Hyper-intelligent political consultant powers: activate!
"Natalie!"
Bellowed not at the child, but over her head.
no subject
Natalie glanced back over her shoulder, then looked back up at Peter, frowning.
"Why are you yelling?"
no subject
And then the quarter fell. "...Natalie." He reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose. "You're Natalie. Well, now that's a pain in the ass."
no subject
Yeah, he was getting judged for his vocabulary now. But in a gentle, lip-chewing, 'this is what my parents told me, and my parents are wise, and I'm trying to help you' kind of way.
"You should say 'butt' instead, but really you shouldn't say that either."

"I don't have snot in my nose."
Way to make a girl self-conscious, though. No, she wasn't going to check.

Time to see if maybe she could help him not be bored.

"Bonjour, hello, Natalie Adams speaking."
Unusually formal greeting, but then her voice wasn't quite the same, either.

"This is Natalie."
