I met a traveller from an antique land

Who: Lex and Adrian
What: Great Ozymandias finds a fitting place to stay
Where: The House of Ego
When: Veerdi, a week since their last big chat
Notes: none
Warnings: none

It's not the larger-than-a-doorway pharaoh head that that had been discussed during the decorating process. (Discussions entailing several similar rounds of Adrian bringing up the subject and Lex putting his foot down with a resounding no.) After their agreement it was only fitting that the occasion be marked somehow. While they were still business partners, what was discussed extended far beyond figures and notes. Baedal didn't yet know it, but it housed two men who would not only change the world, but shape it under their own design.

In celebration of this alliance, Adrian will not see a head outside the main doorway. Instead what he will see is a bust seated on a tall rectangular slab of marble inside his own portion of the upper floor. There is no note or object next to the statue, it's simply there as it always should have been. When Adrian returns home he will find Lex practicing his pool shots in his own penthouse.
defenestration: (i know they like what they see)

Any lingering doubts Adrian might have been entertaining in the back of his mind vanish at Lex's encouraging reaction, and when they finally part he offers the man a slight smile. There's really nothing that needs saying, so instead of ruining the moment by speaking, he takes Lex's hand and backs away, leading him toward the elevator.
