Living at the Swepan Museum of Natural History: Day 2

[a_peaceful_aura]

Day 2 shenanigans from here.

Doughnuts and packaged yakisoba bread: breakfast of champions. A feast has been spread out between the two and Taiki goes at it happily.

The first night of their escape went off without a hitch. They saw the space exhibit (with the really neat constellation dome), walked around under the big dinosaur displays (and

They are both kind of a mess. Her hair is sticking up as well from the rough night of sleeping on the floor. Sure it could be worse and it helps that they can't actually see themselves but sooner or later someone is going to look into a mirror or spot them and see that they are a little rough looking.

Finishing up her doughnut she licks her fingers clean and then for good measure rubs them against her jean shorts. "Maybe we should go to Roman times, I like that."

Taiki nods, mouth full. He looks a little more like the kid Lisbeth usually associates him with. A sleeve is used to tidy his face while he swallows down the last of the bread. Every once in a while he glances up at Lisbeth, checking her aura just in case. He's a little worried after last night -- though the day's prospects keep him from being too distracted.

Out of habit he folds the blanket, putting everything away before they head out. They don't need the flashlight this time so their hands are freed up. He sticks some change in his back pocket just in case they want something later and then stands. Clothes are rearranged and wiped off and he nods.

She does the same thing he does, cleans up their little area, folding up blanket and sleeping bag. Amazing how much responsibility they are willing to take on while breaking the law. At home she would have left her stuff out not really carrying if it got put away or not however this is different. As long as things are tidy and put away there is a better chance of not getting caught and Lisbeth really doesn't want to get caught.

"I am going to wash up in the bathroom before we go. Do you need to wash up too?"

[a_peaceful_aura]

He nods again. Looking down at his bag, Taiki frowns.

"I forgot my toothbrush." He'll figure something out. No hesitation as he ducks through the fabric partition -- he holds it open for Lisbeth and then joins her on the trek towards the bathroom.

Breaking off for the men's room, Taiki heads straight for the sink. Normally he would brush his teeth, shower, and then dress in clean clothes... Today he'll have to settle for a break in routine with an abbreviated wash. A quick moment is spent trying to get his hair to lay down flat but it's a losing battle and he eventually concedes.

When he's finished he waits for Lisbeth, staring at his shoes while he leans against the hallway wall.

"Ja," she agrees with a nod of her head "real life is better." When it comes to looking at things, for instance she would much rather look at a group of people and animals then a tapestry of one.

One last look at the replicated art piece and he moves on. To the gladiator! Black eyes roam over the large wax man, crouched in a battle pose with mouth open. A few moments to try and puzzle it out before he goes to the provided information. Half the time he doesn't understand what's happening in these lifeless scenes.

As it turns out, it would suck to be a slave. He glances from the wax figure to the mighty stuffed glassy-eyed lion and back. Turning to Lisbeth, he puts up claws and bares his teeth. Roar. Isn't he ferocious?

[wasplisbeth]

Looking at the battle scene before looking over at him she does a double take. He doesn't look like a lion he doesn't look like a gladiator either. Watching Taiki she leans forward and pokes his cheek, "your cheeks are too chubby to be ferocious."

[a_peaceful_aura]

SUCH a blow to his manly prid-- Oh. Wait no he doesn't have pride.

Cheeks are sucked in and he tries again. Ferocious take TWO! The gaunt cheeks are extra terrifying.
