75 Godiva, Wednesday night

[vdistinctive]

Eliot was still in full-on "pretend everything is fine" mode, so he was on his couch with Parker and Hardison sat in dignified positions next to him (well, that was the intention, anyway, Parker didn't sit still well even when she was human) and a bowl of popcorn on the coffee table.

They were watching a movie. It wouldn't have been Eliot's first

"*chirp?*" Parker nosed at Eliot's hands, then gave another chirp as she sniffed Hardison-bear.

Eliot idly scritched at her head and scooped up a handful of popcorn to offer her. Setting off another declaration of "wuv" from Hardison.

"I know, I know," he said. "It's about baseball. But it's -- I get it, you know?"

He wasn't around in World War II, but he served in the army, and he left loved ones behind to do it. These women might as well be Aimee and Trudy.

Only, you know, playing baseball.

"chirp."

And in a heartbeat, Parker was no longer a ferret. Or clothed.

"More popcorn, please... I love this movie too."

Sorry, Parker, Eliot was going to be staring at you for a bit first.

"I'm gonna need to hug you, now."
