004 - [Action (OTA)] - Probably Wasn't the Best Time for a Vacation

[catchin_light]

[Well, it was good to be back. He'd taken a short leave of absence to go off and...

Well, best not ask.

In any case, he has a finer-quality coat and hat, more befitting of a royal captain than an old pirate. A tell-tale jingle in his pocket signals that our cook has been busy. Legally? Illegally? Who knows.

*Action* In the kitchen

[Oh look, there seems to be something moving around in one of the crates of food. A pair of round yellow ears pop out from beneath a bunch of apples. Maybe it's a giant rat.]

[catchin_light]

What in the devil...?

[He looks through the apples and finds... a bear. A stuffed bear. A moving stuffed bear.

What.]

[very_lil_brain]

[A stuffed bear gorging himself on apples to be exact. Pooh gives John a friendly wave of the paw.]

Hello.

[Pooh then calmly resumed eating.]

[catchin_light]

... Yer a bear.

[And there goes Lottie in the opposite direction, carrying a large box she can't quite see over. She seems to be able to handle the weight just fine, but she's veering dangeriously close to that small set of steps...]

[Silver sees the precarious position of his favourite pink-wearing blonde. He drops his own things to catch the end of her sleeve before she tumbles off.]

Woah lass! Y'almost took a tumble there!

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[Ack! Someone stopping her, and she can't see and---

They sound an awful lot like a voice she hasn't heard for a long while. Lottie turns around and sets the box down.]

Mistah Silvah?

[And then looks over her shoulder...] O-oh dear... Thank you for stoppin' me! I had no clue that was there!

[catchin_light]

[Silver grins]

Yer welcome, Miss La Bouff! Can' be fallin' an' twistin' a pretty ankle of yers, can we?

Where ye be off to this fine day, an' with a heavy load at that?

[ Amelia happened to be lingering in the shade cast by one of the quad's buildings. Not an unusual place to hide, in the doorways. She often hung out to get some fresh air, to prevent herself from being cooper up in that office of hers.
While she didn't keep tabs on Silver specifically, his cheerful tone had been missing from the kitchens. His disappearance wasn't hard to miss. ]

Went for a holiday, Mr. Silver.

[ She may she be bitter, but she won't be unsocial. ]

[catchin_light]

[Oh. This was fantastic. Still, he was going to attempt a bit of cheer. It wasn't as if she had any authority over him anymore.]

Decided ta step out fer a bit, Cap'n. Take a bit o' leave after th' visitors left.

[deucedlyerratic]

[ Oh how she loathed that tidbit of information. ]

Understandable.

Hopefully enjoyable as well.

[catchin_light]

That it was, that it was! Bit o' shoppin', bit o' travelin'... does a land-bound man good, it does, ta get out once in a while.
