Title: Here Are Some Things
Synopsis: In which La Volpe is Desmond's grandfather, and other such silly things. No, seriously.
Notes: In case you might be wondering where this ends up, this is just a framing device. For those of you who hiss at OC's, no worries, they hardly stay for longer than a chapter. Hoping to end this with lots of Desmond + La Volpe interaction, ahah. These chapters will never be terribly long because I seriously just don't have the attention span for that sort of thing, but they do get kind of longer later on.
[In which La Volpe finds a woman]
She's a pretty little thing, full of shy smiles and tittering laughter and coy looks when she thinks no one is looking (he's always looking).
He's seen prettier, met smarter, argued with more sensible women, but she'll do, because he sees there's not much else left in her life now that it's all been taken away by war, but there's one thing she can give him.
What he's asking for is all she can really give him, all she can really give anyone now.
He seems to like finding damaged things, without bothering to fix them.
