BREAKFAST

[ad_aeternitatem]

[Breakfast is a feast: thin strips of venison, fresh tomatoes from the garden, a plethora of foreign berries in all shapes and sizes, and juice made from the fruits from the trees in Lente's orchard. Eat and make merry, residents.]

[now she's choking on laughter rather than panic]

You've got to tell me about you and him and handcuffs someday.

[hullo_sweetie]

Someday.

[She winks and pats Amy's hand]

Mostly I use them on him when he doesn't listen to reason. Mostly.

[too_fairytale]

[as weird as the thought of the Doctor actually having sex is, Amy still laughs. Mostly it's at the mental image of the Doctor squawking indignantly at River to let him out]

I think I can fill in the rest, thanks.

[hullo_sweetie]

I suppose you can.

[She cleverly steals a berry from Amy's plate and plops it into her mouth]

I noticed Rory isn't trailing after you. That's a bit unusual, isn't it?

[too_fairytale]

[okay, "trailing after you" puts a bad taste in Amy's mouth, and she pauses with her fingertips on another berry. Rory's a big boy, he's his own person, he doesn't *trail* after her...]

He wasn't comfortable with coming out here, even though we tested our power crystals.

[hullo_sweetie]

[That didn't sound like the Rory she knew, but...perhaps he was still transitioning to that point]

I see. Well, you'll have to tell him all about this when we get back.

[She's really loving it out here]

[too_fairytale]

[yeah, he's still transitioning. And unhappy about being plastic]

I'm going to tell him he was stupid not to come.

[hullo_sweetie]

[She laughs pretty hard at that one, shaking her head slowly]

Sounds like perfect domestic bliss to me.

[too_fairytale]

[that's sort of not funny given the fighting they've done over this expedition, but Amy smiles anyway and says lightly]

We make it work.

[hullo_sweetie]

It's a cold day in hell when I don't tell the Doctor off for something. You have to be firm with these men.

[She winks, trying to lighten the mood]

[too_fairytale]

[it works]

Sometimes it doesn't work. Do you know how many times I've told him that bow ties aren't cool?

[hullo_sweetie]

I'd have gotten rid of it a long time ago, but it's too close to his throat.

[Siiiigh]

I try to nip as many of his fashion disasters in the bud as I can.

[hulloeverything]

[Holds out a handkerchief from behind River]

Need a napkin?

[hullo_sweetie]

[She doesn't seem surprised by his presence. Reaching and taking the handkerchief from him. She wipes her mouth clean]

Thank you, sweetie.

[inafadingcrown]

[This was actually normal fare for Galadriel, strange unknown fruits and berries aside, and rather pleasant.

She seems to be in a pretty good mood this morning, speaking graciously with anyone who approaches her and laughing easily. Don't think that she's let her guard down completely, however; she's still watching this whole scene carefully, taking note of every little detail she can.]
