"No, don't be sorry," Jana Kay said, shaking with laughter, before calming down gradually. "You'd make a wonderful villain, 007. Too bad you already sold your soul to the good guys."
Her cheeks were still a bit red from his compliments; she knew most people loved her cooking, but when James was praising her food, it was a whole other story. Demeter children were natural cooks, some had even made it professional (among the most famous ones was Vatel, Louis XIV's cook, who had... killed himself just before a banquet he had been cooking for because the fish didn't arrive... Jana hoped she'd never come to such extremities... especially since cartloads of fish did arrive, just like, five minutes after his suicide). Talk about timing.
"As for Michael McIntyre, he's hilarious. Come on, I'll show you."
There wasn't much food left (just some crumbs here and there and half a hazelnut) so they quickly did the dishes before cleaning the table. Jana took a bottle of soda from the fridge and a bag of crisps and crackers from the cupboard and motioned for James to follow her. She jumped up the stairs to the first storey in her bunny slippers, then the stairs the second storey and showed him inside the loft.
When people say loftthey often think about a dusty, chaotic place where old stuff is stored. The Robertson's attic wasn't at all like this. It was cozy, with a soft carpet in which Jana loved to dig her toes, two mattresses against the wall with fluffy covers and pillows, strings of light here and there along the inclined roof and a TV facing the mattress.
OOC: A bit like this: http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/23/11/f1/2311f153d37c652aad8761c29b8e0a9a.jpg
BIC: Jana Kay crouched down next to the TV and looked through the DVD cupboard until she triumphantly rose with a movie in her hand. "Gotcha!" She sat cross-legged on the carpet, switched the TV on and let the DVD slide in. After grabbing the remote control, she went to sit with James on the mattress, wrapping herself in a cover like an Amerindian squaw, then selected play.
OOC: Since you don't know Michael McIntyre, it is my duty to at least show you two of his one-man-shows.
