First Floor Lobby, Tuesday evening

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick and Lockheed were in their normal seats in the lobby. In front of them was a large tray with cookies on it. In front of the tray was a sign that said, "COOKIES! Please Take!"

Tick turned to Lockheed. "You see?" he asked. "You have to watch the junk food or you'll feel sick again. Not even dragons can eat that many cookies without feeling it."

Lockheed looked up from where he was curled on the couch and grunted.

The Tick nodded as if he understood what Lockheed said, then replied, "Well, sure, if you were a giant dragon, you could eat ten times that many cookies without a problem. But you're not a giant dragon, Lockheed. As dragons go, you're kind of wee."

Lockheed grumbled noncommittally.

[OOC: Cookies for anyone who wants them. Interaction also for anyone who wants it.]

"Thank you, Archie!" Tick said. "No tribute is necessary, though. It's just part of who I am."

"And you are a remarkable fellow, Professor," Archie replied with a smile and a brief salute. "I sincerely apologize for not doing better in your class, as it has been my pleasure to study under you this past semester."

"Thank you, Archie," Tick said, touched. Lockheed rolled his eyes.

"You did just fine when you showed up! Your absences were your only problem, Archie. Just be sure to focus next semester and you'll do just fine in all of your classes, I'm sure!"

Archie nodded. "I fully intend to do just that, sir. Your confidence in me . . . means more than you may realize. Thank you. I'll not take up any more of your time, so good night to you both."

Looking a little more at ease than he had all night, Archie took one more cookie, smiled at both Lockheed and the Tick one more time, and wandered outside to look at the stars.

"Have a good night, Archie!" Tick said. Lockheed grunted a "good night"-ish type greeting in Dragon.
