sketti! [meal post]

[onceaqueen]

Susan kept tonight's dinner simple, since Rickon was in A Mood and one certain way to defuse it was to prepare his favourite food for supper--spaghetti. He could not quite say the word as yet, however, so it came out sketti more often than not. There were two sorts of sauce, one with boar sausage meatballs and one that was strictly vegetarian, so

Last week of school, last week of school.

Felicity was very nearly skipping into the kitchen. It wasn't that she didn't like school, she very much enjoyed it, but it was nice to have a bit of a long break.

She stopped when she saw Rickon with spagetti sauce all around his mouth and fingers, and looked from him to Susan.

"Do you need any help?" She couldn't really comment on the mess Rickon made of himself, so she didn't-she just thought he may be especially a handful at the moment, since he usually was.

ooc:that scene just brought back memories

"Oh no, we're all right," Susan said, wiping at Rickon's face. "He's just a bit of a mess when it comes to his favourite food. But thank you for offering. Please do help yourself to some dinner."

"I would think that's the same with all children his age." She said, giving him a small wave. "Except for my sister, Nan, but she was always proper." Even when Nan was Rickon's age, she always seemed repellent to getting dirty.

Felicity was more interested in talking right now than eating, since she rarely got to talk with Susan except during Monday dinners.

"How is little Helen, anyway?"

"Oh, she's quite well," Susan answered, and nodded to the playpen. "Sleeping rather soundly, just there. She usually sleeps through dinner and wakes just in time for the washing-up."

She looked over to the playpen. "It must be a relief. My sister Polly is just as quiet, but with William being a handful it certainly makes a difference."

Felicity did indeed help herself to some dinner, going for the spagetti and meatballs instead of just sauce.

"I've also seen Jack fishing with Rickon." She smiled a little, knowing that Rickon was too young to really 'fish' but it was hardly her place to interfere in a boy's pretend. "I think we're both alike in that sense-we both love being outside."

Well, there was that time when she appeared in Dino territory with Coraline and Cassie..and the hurricane wasn't enjoyable at all. Still, Felicity tried to not let that stop her from enjoying the outdoors.

"Papa Jack!" Rickon said brightly. "Papa Jack fish." He spread his hands apart wide, flinging bits of spaghetti in all directions. "Fish big."

Felicity smiled, about to comment that she thought of Jack as a 'papa' too.

Then some spagetti flew on her shirt.

She looked at the stain, then back at Rickon. "Let me get back to you on that." She started scraping at the stain.
