This wouldn't do (OTA, dual pup post)
There weren't many places Molly felt perfectly relaxed in Russia and with everything that had been going on lately, that was all Molly wanted. To be able to just relax and not think about all of the violence and deaths going on

Not that John was one for breaking the rules but he just didn't know what to make of the whole situation. So of course when in a crisis he had only a few options to help focus his mind; talk to Fred & Bradley, spar with someone, read or cook. Well he'd decided that laying his worries on his friends was never a smart thing to do without having some kind of peace offering so John headed into the kitchen. Where of course he found his favourite red head.
"Should you be handling a sharp weapon like that? Pretty lady like yourself should have someone to do the dirty work for you."

"I wouldn't call these knives sharp anymore, Jon. They're overused. We either need new ones or a chance to go to town to get them repaired." Did we mention that speaking to trusted friends also helped with her stress? Because it did. "Besides, if anyone else tried to do something I set out to do myself, I'd probably get a little annoyed and hover over them. No one wants that."

"Got this off of Wade, he seemed more than willin' to lend it as long as we saved him a sizeable first portion of your cookin'. I've not done it in a while but I'm sure I can at least improve it till we get them sent into town."
John held out his hand as he leant against the counter, setting the steel upright and gripping it tightly.
"You can hover around an' warn me incase I slice my fingers or anythin' alright?"

When John returned, Molly glanced at the steel in his hand with a grin.
"I'll make extra, then," she stated. "And I'll warn you should your fingers be in any sort of danger though I doubt I'll have to. You're almost as good as I am in the kitchen." She was teasing John. They were quite the team in the kitchen, their own separate strengths and weaknesses meshing perfectly when it came time to cook anything.

"Oi just you watch it or else I'll make sure you burn your cookin' Miss Molly." It was all said in good humour, their ability to work so well together was a god send at times and Molly always knew what to say to put John at ease. It was a pity Stryker hadn't realised their full potential and sold them off to some television producers as a cookery team made in heaven.
He started to slowly move the first blade up and down the steel, gradually building up into a steady sweeping pattern. After a few moments he held the knife out checking it in the light.
"Hows that one? Does it need more work?"

Molly'd decided then to let John handle the knife detail. she still had yet to get dinner started.
After a silence, she returned to the counter, her arms full of vegetables that needed cut up.
"It's gone a bit insane around here, yeah?"
Reply
"Yeah you could say that. Have you heard any rumours of what's goin' on?"
John hated gossiping but actually talking to Molly wasn't gossiping at all really. They were similar thinking individuals who always resolved things better when they talked them over with someone else. In all honesty though he really didn't know what to think of it all.
"I ain't sure Stryker even has control in camp anymore." This was said in hushed tones though seeing as there was a chance the walls could have 'ears.'
