Random facts time! I believe I used different facts than my other series, so enjoy them!
No direct quotes in this one!
The legalities. I do not own any of the Leverage franchise (characters, places, and objects especially) and this is mostly au.Rated M just to be on the safe side.
Also, please don't be afraid to write reviews. I would love to hear from you all!
Hope you enjoy!
Prompt: "Sorry, I spurt out random facts when I'm nervous."
"Did you know that nutmeg is a hallucinogen? If you ingest large doses, the natural compound of myristicin has mind-altering effects."
Alec, Parker, and Eliot all paused in their prep to look over at the manager, who had perched herself on top of a barrel by the window that looked out over Belgrade. Pru had been, randomly, spouting off different facts ever since the team had landed in the city. The hitter scoffed and shook his head before returning to what he was doing, deciding to humor her as he did so. "I did actually know that. There are quite a few foods that have those sorts of properties."
"Or other properties. Like that avocados are a fruit, not a vegetable. They are technically considered a single-seeded berry."
Parker cocked her head to the side as she looked at Pru. "Where do you come up with these facts?"
Pru chuckled slightly, turning away from the window to smile at the thief. "I've picked up a little bit of knowledge here and there. But I am not an ultracrepidarian." At the confused looks on the others' faces, she chuckled again before turning to look out the window once again. "That's the actual word for someone who gives an opinion on something that they know nothing about."
Suddenly, Alec groaned (having just figured out what was going on), causing the hitter and thief to look at him in confusion. He waved them off, opting to pinch the bridge of his nose instead. "Pru, you're doing it again."
"Doing what?"
"Random facts."
Pru turned and hopped off of the barrel with a sheepish look on her face. "Whoops, sorry. I kind of spurt out random facts when I'm nervous."
"What do you have to be nervous about?"
The manager scoffed as she grabbed Eliot's tie (which he'd been looking for) and walked over to him, giving him a look before he (begrudgingly) allowed her to tie it for him "I don't usually travel outside of the U.S. So, I get this way every time that I do so. Also, I am just nervous for you guys."
Now Eliot scoffed. "Don't worry about us."
"I know; you lot are professionals, and you have this in the bag. It won't stop me, however."
Alec laughed. "Never has. You two good to go?"
"Let's do this!"
Pru shook her head. "Oh, Parker. Never change."
