September 21, 2012: San Francisco, California

Joshua had just gotten off of the airplane at San Francisco's airport, and grabbed his bag. After getting out of the crowd and off to one side, he pulled out his Farnsworth and buzzed Helena.

For her part, Helena secured Tesla's tool set days ago (there's something almost peaceful about the auction process, compared to an average case). She's been taking Joshua at his word and having a vacation since, and she's relaxed a good deal in the intervening week and a bit.

She answers her Farnsworth, and smiles when she sees Joshua. "Hello, darling."

"I found a rather fascinating niche museum, though I have yet to decide when 'queer' became an acceptable term."

On the other hand, she can definitely get behind 'Lesbian Sex Wars.'

Helena makes a puzzled face at the flowers for a moment, before she turns and sees Joshua standing behind her. "Oh! You might have said you were coming." She hugs him. "You're looking much better as well."

"I hadn't realised you knew when it was. But thank you regardless." He hardly had to go to this much trouble.

"It is? I hadn't realised Charles bothered using it." They certainly weren't twins, after all, and it would have made a good deal of sense if he'd used his own birthday (perhaps he cared more than she gave him credit for - not that she thinks him any less of an arse).

Helena laughs. "Oh, but I'm only one hundred and forty-six, darling." She makes a face at his horrid accent. "Well, now you're here, did you have anything else in mind?"

Her breath catches, and her free hand (as the other now has the frame in it) goes to her locket. "I didn't know this... oh, Christina. Mummy misses you."

"No, not at all." She'll deny she's tearing up (but she is). "I'm glad to have any piece of her I can."
timelessinventor: ([w13] oh dear)

"Probably for the best." Helena sighs, and musters a smile. "Thank you, darling, really."

"That sounds lovely. Shall we, then?"
