"melancholy" - Wild Roses, the SixtaennynAugust 5 2010, 22:10:43 UTC
It was difficult to develop a really thoroughgoing case of melancholy when the kitchen was singing happy, happy jazz in two and a half-part harmony.
James sighed, rolled over on the couch a couple of times, then gave up and started trying to work out who was singing the half-harmony.
It was Giovanni and Madeleine holding the two parts separate--though if Gio's laughter was anything to go by he might be the one who broke first--which meant it wasn't Madeleine wandering between the tenor and soprano parts. Jasmine didn't have a tenor range, which eliminated her, and if Jared had a soprano range he wasn't sure he wanted proof.
So he assigned the half-part to one of Giovanni's many half siblings and pulled a throw pillow over his head to drown them all out.
Something tickled the bare inside of his wrist. He moved it.
It tickled again.
He half-sat up abruptly, throwing the pillow with as much accuracy as he could without being able to see who was tickling him.
They were both a little shocked when the pillow caught Ian square in the face and knocked him from his half-kneel onto his ass on the floor.
They stared at one another for a moment, then James cracked up laughing and Ian followed.

Not actually sure; I'd guess some negotiation went sideways on him and he's all grah about it, but I'm not certain. Just got the flash of him tying to get a good grump on on the couch and failing miserably.
