So.

I seem to have acquired a diploma-shaped thing.

O.O!!!!!!!!

Guys, if you want to give me a graduation present, leave me drabble prompts please! It's a long flight home tomorrow, and a longer few weeks after that as that whole Real World Terror thing starts to hit, and so write-y distractions would be useful for both.

WOOHOO YOU.

Mary/Eustace. See how you like it. :P

:P TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT.

Mary gave Eustace’s story some thought and then said, finally, “It could have been a great deal worse.”

Eustace gaped at her a little. “Well, I know that,” he said. “That wasn’t the point - were you even listening?”

“Of course I was.” Mary lifted her chin and folded her arms in front of her, looking like nothing so much as a small blocky fortress. “You were trying to tell me that it is dangerous to be too cross and sulky and selfish.

You might not be Vivien Leigh exactly, but you’re perfectly decent-looking. No one would say you’re a fright. And I do think you’re pretty, except when you look like you’re going to bite my head off,” he concluded, rather sulkily.

Mary looked quite a bit taken aback, which gave Eustace at least some satisfaction. Finally, she said, “I should not want to look pretty when I was shouting at somebody anyways. I should not want them to be wanting to kiss me when I was cross at them and trying to get them to think about more important things.” She gave him a narrow look. “Do you ever want to kiss me

*sheepish* You are right. I shall fix! This is what comes of writing far far away from your books.

THE AWKWARD IS WAY TOO MUCH FUN TO WRITE. *giggling*
