Then, again, he chuckled. "A procrastinator, eh?" Reminded him a bit of his brother, except he was sure his brother was likely worse about it than she was. It was amazing Stan ever got anything done at all. Atticus certainly couldn't imagine putting off anything until the last minute.
Oh, yes, introductions. Why hadn't he thought of doing so earlier? "I think it's a lovely name," he said, smiling. It was certainly interesting too. One didn't run into too many Kensingtons. Accepting her hand and giving it a shake, he continued, still smiling, "And it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Atticus Aldredge."
Kensi raised an eyebrow, but smiled. Did people normally NOT tell him that his smile was quite charming? Obviously so. poor bloke. But it didn't seem to bother him much.
"
Yes...I've just moved into an apartment," her raspy voice went on, "
and I just keep putting off unpacking. And I really should stop. I'm glad I don't have a job with a lot of paperwork..." she did have a little...but nothing major. That was for people higher up in the MLE. Blegh.
Lovely? Had she just gotten a lovely for Kensington? Hmm.
"Well, thank you, sir," she said, hers smile widening. She shook his hand, and widened her eyes.
"Atticus...it sounds so familiar...I know that name..." she looked to the ceiling for inspiration...what the heck was Atticus from?!
OH.
"I remember....I read To Kill a mockingbird, it's an old muggle novel...Atticus was the father. Very wise man, he was! You must be wise, too, then, hmm?" she asked jokingly. The American really needed her lemonade, too. But she had momentarily forgotten about it.
