Book Haven, Tuesday

Nov 23, 2010 06:58

Kittens, Hinata was fairly sure, were not supposed to make friends with dust bunnies. Chase them, of course. Pounce, roll, and fling themselves were all par for the course. But, as she knelt down and peered under one of the shelves only to be confronted with her kitten, sleeping, curled up with several dust bunnies and all of them content ( Read more... )

If you'd like.

It had been a while since Warren had stopped by the Book Haven with a bag of cheeseburgers, hadn't it? And he didn't even have cause for complaint as he did so today, because the staff at Mooby's had been fairly on the ball today. Well, compared to usual, at least. He only had to ask three times before they remembered that there was supposed to be ketchup on those burgers.

"Hey, roomie," he greeted, making certain that the door closed behind him so that Yei wouldn't make a mad getaway with her new best friends. "Surprise lunch attack."

Re: Talk to Hinata shyest_eyes November 23 2010, 14:52:03 UTC

But but but Yei was a good kitten! And that was... absolutely up her aisle.

... Perhaps his caution was warranted. Perhaps.

“Warren,” she said, lips curving into a smile. “You’re welcome to be here--so long as lunch does not actually attack...?”

Yes, yes she was teasing him.

Also, in Fandom, anything was possible.

"I don't think it will really attack, unless you go and give it ideas like that," Warren laughed, setting the bag on the counter, and then the drink tray. "I'm not really in the mood to wrestle with ketchup stains, so it would probably be for the best if you didn't, you know?"

At least they were hard-earned ketchup stains.

"I've been chastised," she said meekly, peeking up at him from behind her book and her eyes laughing. "Sh-Should I obey, I wonder?"

Re: Talk to Hinata not_a_parakeet November 23 2010, 15:27:01 UTC

"I suppose that depends entirely on how badly you want the cheeseburgers to bite back," Warren chuckled, shaking his head. "I like to think that I'm more or less immune to the dangerous advances of lunch, but I'm trying to think of the well-being of Yei, you know."

Won't somebody think of the kittens?!

Re: Talk to Hinata shyest_eyes November 23 2010, 15:34:20 UTC

"Yei is fraternizing with the enemy," she said, with an amused sigh and a glance at the shelves. "Otherwise known as the dreaded dust bunnies. They're napping together as we speak."

Re: Talk to Hinata not_a_parakeet November 23 2010, 15:41:52 UTC

"Well, then we're doomed, I suppose."

Really. Dust bunnies. They had trouble enough with those back in their room, between cat fur and featherdust.

"I suppose there's nothing to be done about it until they make their move, though. Would you like the Coke or the orange soda?"

Priorities.

Re: Talk to Hinata shyest_eyes November 23 2010, 15:43:50 UTC

"The orange, please," she said, with a grin and a shake of her head. "Unless you'd prefer it, but truly, I think you're more of a Coke person."

Observation!

Re: Talk to Hinata not_a_parakeet November 23 2010, 15:49:02 UTC

"Of course I am," Warren laughed, reaching for the Coke and then passing the orange her way. "Which works out well for the both of us, I see."

Serendipity!

Re: Talk to Hinata shyest_eyes November 23 2010, 16:04:12 UTC

And she? She was going to fuss with her straw for a moment before taking a sip.

"That does generally seem to be the outcome for us," she noted, amused. "Things work themselves out quite well."

It made their lives peaceful and their room a haven--but for Yei.

Re: Talk to Hinata not_a_parakeet November 23 2010, 16:15:34 UTC

"There are definitely worse fates than being made into your roommate," Warren decided, finding himself a corner of desk to lean back against while he dug a burger out of the bag and offered it to her as well. "Thanksgiving isn't your holiday, is it? I don't suppose you've got anything planned over the break?"

He really didn't. He was curious to see if his roomie was going to be in the same boat as he was.

Re: Talk to Hinata shyest_eyes November 23 2010, 16:50:35 UTC

"I don't know," she said thoughtfully, hooking her feet on the desk, and taking the burger. "I might stay around, but I certainly have nothing planned either way. It's--very much not a holiday we celebrate."

Hinata studied him. "You?"

Re: Talk to Hinata not_a_parakeet November 23 2010, 16:56:57 UTC

"Me?" Warren hesitated, sipping at his Coke before shrugging. "I don't think I'll be going home for Thanksgiving dinner this year, really. As much as I'm sure my dad would love that..."

And this year, they could totally give thanks for mutant cures. Right.

Re: Talk to Hinata shyest_eyes November 23 2010, 17:09:27 UTC

She glanced at him, thoughtfully unwrapping her burger as a way to consider what to say to that.

"I don't remember hearing that your father came to visit on Parents Weekend," she said carefully, only her tone keeping it from being a question.

Re: Talk to Hinata not_a_parakeet November 23 2010, 17:13:35 UTC

At least Warren had been living with Hinata long enough to realize the difference between a very careful question and an observation, and he sighed, pulling the fries out of the bag and then unceremoniously tearing open a ketchup packet to keep his hands occupied.

"He didn't. I don't think he had any idea that there was a Parents Weekend coming up. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know where I'm at."

There wasn't much use trying to creep around that much, anyhow.
