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. ]

Here, I'll let you have the piece with your name on it... [ cutting and serving! ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

You're too kind. [ he's just gonna busy himself with wiping off his face and jacket :| ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

No, no, you mustn't flatter me, or my ego will explode! [ you can deal with soot, but you can't handle cake mix? :( ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

That would be rather messy, wouldn't it? [ soot just kind of happens in Whitechapel. Cake mix does not ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

It would. [ settling down with her own piece ] And cleaning this place is a chore as it is.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Then I shall refrain from inflating your ego any further. [ aaaaand time to try the cake ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ watching like a hawk :( ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ he's not as verbose about his approval as Saga, but his eyebrows go up, and he smiles at her ] It's good.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ that's making her perk up visibly ] Really? You're not just saying that to spare my feelings? I mean, I know it's hard to mess up a cake like this, but--

((ooc: sob almost dooone))

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Really. You did well.

((ooc; OHOHO *_*))

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ a little flustered, but picking up her fork to mask it ] Well, now that I know I haven't poisoned you, I guess it's safe to eat!

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Your confidence astounds me.

((ooc; and bopping out to dinner with the 'rents. o/))

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

I just radiate it like the sun, don't I?

((ooc: eat well! o/))

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Indeed you do. [ nom nom cake ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ it can't top his cooking, but delicious cake is still delicious ]

((SOB (http://looneyrune.livejournal.com/1086.html)))

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ it is very delicious indeed, but he's going to pause and look thoughtful for a moment ] Saga... may I ask you something?

((ooc; KIA I LOVE YOU THAT WAS AMAZING. Poor Alabaster.))

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Hm? [ glancing over at him ] Go ahead.

((ooc: ISN'T FAMILY BONDING FUN.))

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Idle curiosity but- [ there's a pause, and he chooses his words very, very carefully ] -if a rune makes its presence known to you... do you have to gather it?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ well, she didn't see that one coming. ] It's my responsibility, so yes. Not to mention if I sense one, and I leave it be, that means I'm willingly letting it cause a lot of chaos to anyone who stumbles across it.

[ frowning slightly at her plate ] Like in your case. If I'd let it be, you never would have been able to go back.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

... I see.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

If I could, I... [ mostly to herself ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

If you could what?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

I-- [ jumping slightly when she remembers he's listening, and then getting to her feet ] Um, sorry, I just remembered something I-- need to do. Outside. Shouldn't take long.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Saga- [ he's standing as well ] -wait. Please.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ hesitating, but there's a sort of desperation in her expression when she looks at him. ]
