I'm asking Zuko if I can have a party, and I might hold workshops for making costumes and carving pumpkins and cooking Halloween treats. If he's all right with it, you're of course welcome to come.
Regardless, though, I'll be making a big dinner and having a party for my family... and you're welcome to come. I'm sure Zuko would love having you there. I'll even make a fish dish for you if you want.
Yeah? ..... Thanks, mate. Sure, I can show up. I don't exclusively eat fish though, y'know. I'm quite partial to any sort of meat. And I like carving pumpkins.
Look, I'll admit, I barely know my way around a stove. Most I've ever cooked is breakfast, but I CAN cook breakfast. If you need any help with anything, even cleaning or summat, I'll be happy to pitch in?
[making an effort to be nice to Cor for Zuko's sake]
[recognizes this effort, and since Cy hasn't made one sexually harassing comment, he's willing to take it. He has a suspicion that the 'dark meat' comment miiiiiiiiight have been a reference, but he's not sure, so he's giving it the benefit of the doubt]
Well, um, you know what would be nice, if you would help keep Milk entertained and focused so I can look after everything else? He's usually fine by himself, he's no trouble or anything, it'd just be nice if someone would talk to him and keep him engaged. Zuko can help me in the kitchen if I need somebody to fetch and carry. ^_^
Besides, Milk doesn't really have anybody besides me and Zuko to play with him. Like... at all.
[Believe it or not, he honestly just does prefer dark chicken. However...]
[snicker] "Help" you in the kitchen. Yeah, sure thing, mate. Should've asked me to babysit earlier. As a general rule, I'm not big on kids, but I'm pretty sure I like yours. He seems like fun. And I'm all for Zuko getting a little more private attention.
We'll play snaps with the pumpkin seeds or something.
[siiiiigh... he knew it was too good to last... but as Cy's innuendo goes, that was actually fairly tolerable, so he shrugs it off]
Well, if you two hit it off, maybe you can take him in the future, and give me and Zuko time to date in. I'm sure he'd like to spend more time out of the house... not as though there's a lot of places he could go... maybe you two could take his new 'pet' on walks.
[laughs] Ohhhhh yeeeeaaaah, I heard about that! Zuko's a bit wigged out about it. Seems to take to nausea the way you two fuss over it. So, does it have discernible anatomy yet or is it still just legs and a stomach?
It has a little more discernible anatomy now. We try to keep it in Milk's room so it doesn't bother Zuko too much. Thus far it's really been a very interesting biology project. Maybe if he gets to be better, he could make YOU a little pet to swim around your lake.
Fuck knows I wouldn't mind SOME sign of life... that place is bloody unnatural. It's like a nuclear holocaust... no plants, no fish, no ALGAE, just WATER. And nothing in the water except pure H2O. I mean, on one hand, it's nice, yeah? I've never breathed anything so clean and pure in my life. On the other hand, it's creepy as hell.
So yeah, luv. You tell me the day, I'll be there. We'll have a ourselves a do.
Ummmm..... No costumes this time, we'll probably get too dirty. You could bring your instruments if you know any good Halloween songs, and we might tell spooky stories when it gets late, so if you know any..? It's totally casual, so there's no need to dress up at all.
If you want to swing by around noon, and we'll eat around eight?
Sounds good to me. I'm actually looking forward to it now. Oy, do we have paints lying about? I'm a fair hand with a brush, maybe if we don't do customs, we can do something else fun. Paints what aren't lead-based, that is.
... Paint? Yeah, I have some. I figured we could paint some pumpkins too. It's based on chalk, actually, so it's a little grainy, but it's not toxic. Feel free to try something interesting with them if you like.
Regardless, though, I'll be making a big dinner and having a party for my family... and you're welcome to come. I'm sure Zuko would love having you there. I'll even make a fish dish for you if you want.

It'll probably be a late dinner so we can spend the day doing decorating, and making stuff.

Right then, we'll do that. How about the day after tomorrow? Thursday? Not for the big party, but for just us?

Costumes or no? Need me to bring anything?
