Acquiring the clothes had been easy. Securing the formal invitation that the guy had so carelessly kept in his coat’s pocket had been even easier. A quick bump, and a ‘I am so incredibly sorry, I wasn’t paying attention, is everything alright?’ had been enough distraction to make the invitation disappear from one pocket, and reappear in another. The disguise self spell did the rest. 

Pretending to be one of them, however, was significantly more difficult. The hatred was deeply rooted, and although he’d tried to keep interactions to a bare minimum, there was only so much avoiding Tommy could do without standing out as suspicious. So every time someone approached him, he surrendered himself to the conversation, but tried to keep it brief and move on as soon as he could. 

He’d just spotted a door that seemed promising, and was trying to work out a way to slip past the very subtle guards keeping an eye on it, when he was yet again subjected to a conversation he wanted no part of. It had been going on for far longer than he would’ve liked, too, and the rogue was slowly growing impatient. “To the people that take it, or the people that inherit it without knowing the value of it?” 

      Everything told him not to go –– - New York was a world away and represented everything that Thomas Shelby was not. As the acting patriarch of his family, it was he who the Shelbys and the Peaky Blinders looked to for leadership, protection, and guidance. After slaying Billy Kimber and taking over his legal gambling licenses, his business was on the precipice of legitimacy –– which would open the door for great and prosperous opportunities. In short, Thomas had no choice but to stay in Birmingham.

                                                                       And yet –– -

The allure of the woman who’d betrayed his trust and ultimately stolen his heart was too strong to fight against. Taking to a ritual that he was accustomed to during the war, Thomas even flipped a coin to help settle the matter. The blind, unwaveringly judgment-free token even told him that his future lie in the coal dust painted alleys of Small Heath. The innocuous coin was gripped tightly in his hand as he stood in the foreign, American streets, cursing his soft heart. 

❛❛  you're my destiny, you'll always be with me;  today, tomorrow, all the way to eternity. ❜❜

      Elijah knows it’s her the MOMENT that he sets foot inside his apartment. He’s also not surprised that she found out exactly where his own apartment was and waited there rather than at the compound. The scent of her perfume has almost flooded the living room, and he crosses through to find her in the kitchen helping herself to a glass of wine. One brow lifts, and he leans his shoulder against the door frame as he watches her.
