hey mom, dead mom, i need a little help here

[ ...All of that happened, huh. That's the sentiment each and every week, and it's no different this time. Except, this time they've lost more people than before. Five.

The gathering invitation is slipped under everyone's doors, but it specifies something a little different. ]




[ That's a good two hours or so of difference. Enough time to wander around, for sure.

But, in the garden, at the appointed time, there's a variable arrangement of fresh-cooked food. A good amount of beef stew, some Chinese hot pot, and...watermelon? Just, an absurd amount of watermelon, cut up and set on plates. All the food's set on tables that seem to have been moved from the library, and the ground is littered with blankets, for those who don't want to sit on the grass.

And yes, she did not lie. There is, indeed, a variable fuckton of alcohol. (And coffee, for our underaged.)

This has become routine. But, we're still here. We're still alive. ]

[ RIP, Therion, we knew you well......

She lets out a soft sound, almost close to a laugh. Almost. Barely there, but it's something. ]


That might not be a terrible idea. You can branch out and use that fancy knifework for something else.

[They're all tired. So tired. But they're here. He huffs quietly.]

I'll have you know I'm already the best vegetable peeler in my traveling party. You just try to keep up.

[ Oh no.

Despite everything, despite how horrible today was, she raises her eyebrows. ]


Well, if you'd like to make this a competition...

[Oh dear.]

...Anything in it for me if I do?
philoxenia: (will i ever follow through?)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-05-18 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm.

[ Is she considering this? .... It sure seems like it. ]

How about.... a favor? Or choice of anything I've gotten from the vending machine.

[Hmm. He hasn't offered a favor since Aela, but...]

Sure. Same terms for you, I suppose.
philoxenia: (orbit around you)

It's a deal, then. May the best peeler win.
