COME GET THE PIE!

May 23, 2008 13:06

As far as Lucy knew, what she was about to do was okay. After all, the phones were here for a reason, no one would care if she called a few of her friends. After all it wasn't like she was on the phone as much as Lizzie or Joelle could be. But Lucy did have a lot of friends who were likely wondering what the heck had happened to her and Lewis ( Read more... )

Clip clop clip.

The Professor looks faintly embarrased to be here, largely because he figures that the Gunthries rightly blame him for getting their house burnt down. So many people he's promised to protect have fallen because of his ineptitude...

...also, well, pie. Still, largely, the Professor figures the head of the Gunthire clan needs some good natured venting, and so leans against the wall, idly scritching Annie, his yellow tabby cat, 's chin and waiting for one of the horde of Gunthries to be freed up.

"Hello, Professor," Lucinda said warmly. "Apple, strawberry rhubarb, or pecan?"

"Hello, Mrs. Guthire." The Professor isn't suprised that the RAGE is dilated a little, because of all the other people around. -and, well, gosh, free pie. They teach you not to turn down free pie in 'nam.

"...I'll try a slice of pecan, if it is not too much trouble." Savier says, looking a bit confused in spite of it all. "Are you all moderately comfortable here? I know things are a bit cramped..."

A light laugh.

That piece of pecan was a large piece. Either she had no problems with him, or was hoping it was so big that he'd choke on it.

"We're a little used to cramped," she said, "And I can't complain; it was mighty generous of you to let us stay until we're on our feet. Which'll be soon, actually. Got a buyer for the land, a nice little apartment picked out for us to live in 'til the new house is built, been shopping for contractors, and as soon as the insurance comes in, we should be on our way."

Considering the Professor's track record with woman, that other possibility isn't completly out...

The Professor smiles, though, graciously taking the pie. "Thank you." He takes a bite, and...mmm! "Wonderful!" He quickly sobers, however; "...I'm sorry. I wish there was more we could do."

Quiet adult discussion time.

"Professor," she said. "You've helped raise up two of my children into being heroes, your school saved my one boy from himself, has given my other children a place for them to be themselves and unashamed, and if you hadn't come..."

A deep breath.

"We've got land, plans for a new farm, the money's comin' in to rebuild--even if it's a hassle--and soon, a nice place to stay in the meantime. We'll be fine. You've done plenty. More than enough. More than I can ever repay, and I must tell you, that grates on my pride somethin' terrible that I won't ever be able to pay such a kindness back."

...well, she told him ( ... )

cornfed_legion May 30 2008, 06:12:41 UTC

He got a smile from her ( ... )
