part 294 wayward fairy tales

[aphanon_meme]

I think I'm in love with the new Once Upon a Time show! I finally caught up on the episodes and although it's a bit cheesy, it sort of fills the hole that The 10th Kingdom left in me! What shows are you watching this fall... winter...time..., meme

[not sleeping under a tree this time, oh no!]

[sitting on a branch a few feet up, playing a panpipe she's dug up somewhere]

[still wearing a grannymano dress, it's rather larger on her than on him]

[palaiomator]

[gapes in disgust for a moment, then her mothering instincts kick in]

[gets herself OUT OF THE WAY of the stream and takes the shawl off her dress]

[rubs his back soothingly]

Are you finished?

[has the shawl untied and ready for use as a makeshift towel]

[amemus_romam]

[okay, so maybe he was wrong about being fine]

[BUT HIS PRIDE]

[...nods]

[somehow he really doesn't feel like talking right now]

[but it's okay, it smells just a little bit better that way]

[palaiomator]

[he just barfed his pride all over the ground, too late for pride]

It's okay, you just overdid it a little, you'll be fine in no time.

[wipes his mouth and helps him to his feet, propping him up]

You need a bath and some rest, dear, let's go to my son's place, mm?

[amemus_romam]

[nods]

[heaves a couple times, but luckily it's pretty much all already out]

[indeed, he "just overdid it a little..."]

[palaiomator]

[on guard with the shawl--whew, glad it's over]

[leading him along, shaking her head and smiling ruefully]

Ye Gods, Rome, tell me next time you decide to drink that much...

[amemus_romam]

Didn' think..there'd be....party...un'il i'happened...

[stumbles along]

[palaiomator]

Then you should have shown restraint.

[well aware that she isn't one to talk]

[oh look they're home, wow that was some fast stumbling]

Alright, should we get you cleaned up first or should I help that bump on your head before anything else?

[wrestles with the lock one-handed and shoulders their way in]

[amemus_romam]

[boy does all that military marching-while-half-dead thing do wonders in training the body]

[groans again, too out of it to really care which comes first]

[but that sour smell is making quite a good case for itself]

[also, he just hit his head (again) on the side of the doorframe. oops.]

[palaiomator]

[hearing its case loud and clear]

Hmm, better do the bath firs--Rome, be careful!

[stops to inspect the new bruising, then takes him to the bathroom]

[sits him down on the toilet and starts running the bath, looking at him worriedly]

[amemus_romam]

[his head has survived worse, it's all right]

[ah, running water]

[speaking of running water, you don't drink that much without hearing the call of nature]

[tries to get up, looking for some place to let it out]

[this isn't going to end well]

[palaiomator]

What, what is it, what do you need?

Shouldn't you just sit on the toilet like you were doing, dear?

[amemus_romam]

...pee....

[oh look, a sink]

[stumbles towards it, fumbling with the hem of his tunic]

[palaiomator]

No wait but you were sitting on the place where pee goes--!

[too late]

[buries her face in her hand]

We are not telling Herakles about this.

[tourkokratia]

[hears the music!]

[but looks around, where's it coming from?]

...

[circles around and around the tree, completely confused]

[palaiomator]

[sees him and chuckles to herself]

[plays louder]
