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. ]

How long this time?

...! [ she's glancing at Duff to confirm this, and he'll be padding over to Alabaster and rubbing against his leg ] He'll be sad he won't be able to surprise you now.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

...Three days.

Yes, well, he surprised me enough for a lifetime when he hopped onto my lap yesterday. [ but pets the kitty anyway ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ there's a pensive pause, and then she laughs softly ] I guess I was more tired than I thought. Sorry to stick you with this guy for so long.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

He's not so bad, when he's not demanding I feed him.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

You'd think he wouldn't eat, being what he is, but he always did things his own way.

[ takes a seat next to her o/ ] I'm noticing that's a distinct theme in this household.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ she would give him her usual greeting hug, but she's pausing to arch an eyebrow at him first. ] Really now. [ adopting a very lofty tone ] I haven't the foggiest as to what you might be referring to.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I believe there's something to be said here about a river in Egypt.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... I also believe there's something to be said about certain agents of Whitechapel being ignored for the rest of the day.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

That's unfair. You've had three perfectly good days of not having to deal with me.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ deliberately looking in the other direction, because she is a teasing brat ]

You're right, Duff. It doesn't have the same effect if I'm unconscious.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose I only have need to cook for one now.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ ... that might have been a huff. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ shrug ] Suit yourself.

[ this look. This look she is giving him? It's akin to a little girl getting told her puppy got ran over and her house was burned down on Christmas Eve. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

... I am joking, you know.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

...

Don't scare me like that!

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Usually it's you doing the scaring.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Name one time I've terrified you.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

...Perhaps I can't come up with any one instance, but I never can tell when you're joking.

[ lightly poking his side ] Having a good poker face is a useful skill.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ flinches away >O ] I like to think I have a good "poker face", as you call it, but it apparently goes away where you're concerned.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

It took a lot of effort, but I'm glad it paid off in the end. The first day or two, it was a victory if you so much as smirked at me.

[ that finger is following you :D ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Consider yourself lucky- even now, I don't smile for just anyone.

[ ...scoots away ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

So you probably don't laugh that easily, either... [ she's moving in for the kill-- but pausing, lifting her eyes to his and saying this quite sincerely ]

I consider myself very lucky, Alabaster.
