9th Spell - [ voice / action ] - Luceti

[ Something probably smells good in House 7 right now. Willow's been cooking for a while and now she's got a basket of cookies, brownies, and some healthy stuff. Yes, Bones, it's all hers. There was no stealing anything from anyone else's supplies. She's just enjoying being in the kitchen. It gives her something to do. She's been playing on her

Comments

[action] I'll be tagging with Xand after this orz

[beaglenapper]

[Food? House 7? SCOTTY IS THERE.]

'Allo, Willow! And what's smellin' so good in here? I'm famished!

[action] throw as many as you want XD

[slayersidekick]

[ Ah, yes, the one resident Willow is pretty sure she hasn't had a chance to actually get to know yet. ]

Just making a little desert stuff for everyone. You want some? There's a plate already made for the house.

[ She points to a full plate of cookies on the counter. ]

[action] OKAY

[beaglenapper]

[Scotty thinks of Willow as the "sensible" housemate, actually. They both go about their business and she's always polite and apparently cheerful, at least most of the time, and the engineer recognizes this about her because those are qualities that Scott prizes about himself. Plus--It's okay, he already loves you, Willow, because you are making food for everyone.]

Desserts? I'm amenable to that, lass; certainly amenable. [Are those extra notches in your belt, Scotty?]

[action] \o/

[slayersidekick]

[ They should get along smashingly. Have so far! ]

Well, the plate's there right now a-and there's more coming soon. [ Pause. ] Sometimes I think cooking is the only good thing I can do right now. [ And she checks up on the brownies. ] Just a little longer.

[Action]

[beaglenapper]

Now, for brownies: do you dig them out with a spoon while the pan's still warm, or do you allow them to cool and harden and then cut them with a knife to serve them on plates?

[This. Is such. An important question.]

[Action]

[slayersidekick]

Uh, served on plates, please. We don't really do the trading germs or double-dipping thing in Sunnydale. [ Usually. Unless you're dating someone. Then all bets are off. ]

[Action]

[beaglenapper]

Oh. [Pity.] Because you realize that eating it straight out of the pan is the best way of doing it, correct?

[He's been living alone with a small green man on an ice planet for three years, Willow. His social skills are kinda rusty.]

[Action]

[slayersidekick]

[ She grins. ] You can only really do that when it's just you eating it, not when you've got other people who want pieces. Maybe next time I'll make little batches, one for everyone to eat out of.

[Action]

[beaglenapper]

[Now a conspiratorial tone, Willow:] What if you and I eat them all, eh? Two spoons. Two people. One pan.

[Action]

[slayersidekick]

[ She grins and finally starts cutting up the cooled batch and sliding them onto a plate. ]

But that wouldn't be fair to everyone else. And I promised Buffy brownies if I cooked, so she's got dibs on some. Plus the whole friends since high school thing.

[Action]

[beaglenapper]

[The chief engineer of the starship Enterprise is POUTING.]

Willoooowwww you're killin' me. Right. I'll just take one any old way, then.

[Action]

[slayersidekick]

[ Oh dear. She grins and points to the next batch, which is... almost ready to go in the oven. ]

After that one, I'll make a smaller one and you can have it all to yourself, okay?

[ She slides a paper plate, a spoon, and a warm brownie over, though. ]

[Action]

[beaglenapper]

You're a gem, Willow--have I mentioned that lately?

[Action]

[slayersidekick]

A girl could get used to hearing that.

How's it taste? [ Meaning his brownie. ]

[Action]

[beaglenapper]

Mmphhmmd.

["Excellent."]

[Action]

[slayersidekick]

Sounds like approval to me!

[ She smiles proudly and works on the next item on the menu, sliding the mini-brownie pan into the oven when it's ready. ]
