RP > nostalgia strikes again

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ It is a relatively quiet day in the apartment of one Saga Laskaris- unless you were to wander into the kitchen. Then you would find all manner of things happening, dishes heaped up everywhere, and some very tantalizing smells coming from the sizzling skillets on the stove top. In the middle of it is Alabaster, in a simple t-shirt and jeans (and no shoes. Just socks), bustling back and forth, metallic arms zipping everywhere. ]

You say that like I don't eat properly the rest of the time...

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ quirks a (somewhat skeptical) eyebrow ]

I was implying no such thing.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ quirks one right back ]

Uh-huh. You are so lucky I like you.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I know. [ that... might have been a little more earnest than he meant to be, but luckily the timer on the stove is buzzing, so he's shifting his attention to it ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ ... he is so impossible to tease, but she's opting to let him cook in peace and so fishing out her newest set of notes from under a mug and heading to the table to peruse them. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ he's learning! slowly. kind of. ANYWAY give him another 15 minutes or so and then there will be a plate of very delicious food sliding in front of you ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ it's taking her awhile to drag herself from Research Mode, but the smell is helping, so she'll blink down at the food, then up at him. ]

... Please live here forever.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ raises his eyebrows ] That's not the reaction I was expecting.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

I lied about proper meals. It's usually whatever goes with coffee. And here you are with-- this--

[ come to me delicious food ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Well, then. I hope you enjoy it. [ just. shakes his head a little, retrieves his own plate, and sits down across from her ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

You are my hero, Alabaster. [ and this would all be very serious and earnest if she hadn't stuck her fork in her mouth right after that. And made little happy noises. Like a proper quarter-goddess. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ that might have been a chuckle, but onward to food! om nom nom ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ have I mentioned how happy she is? Because this is delicious. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ really, he's just enjoying watching her ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ she'll finish up pretty quickly (after sharing a bite or two with a demanding ghost cat) and flash him a grin ]

You're probably going to hear this a lot, but you're incredible.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Being able to cook doesn't make me incredible, Saga.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

There's a difference between being able to cook and being able to cook like this. And-- [ waving her fork at him ] I wasn't just talking about the cooking.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

There is a very, very long list of things I'm usually referred to, but "incredible" is not on there.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

In case you haven't noticed by now-- in which case I'd have to question your eyesight and general skills of observation-- I'm not "usual".

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

... Regardless, it's not something I'm used to hearing.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

That's easily remedied. [ pulling her notes towards her again ] I'll just keep saying it until you can add it to your list.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I suppose I shouldn't waste my breath arguing with you. [ just. begins gathering dirty dishes- clean up, clean up, etc etc ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

There, you see? [ looking triumphantly down at Duff ] I told you he'd learn eventually. [ there is a skeptical and very drawn-out MEEEEEW to that, earning the cat a sigh. ]

You say that like being stubborn is a bad thing. [ a pause, in which she realizes what he's doing ] Hey, Alabaster, I can handle the dishes.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

You're obviously intent on those notes. It's no trouble.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

I can read them at any time. [ sweet smile ] It's no trouble.
