Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[demonbelthazor]

Bel was sprawled on the couch, remote in hand, flipping through the channels in search of something relaxing to watch. Maybe that would help settle his mood.

The Discovery channel documentary on hunting habits of wild animals was right out.

Nadia still didn't let go. "But as an anaconda, I would still want to hug you, even if you were not an anaconda. It would make me sad if I couldn't."

Then she made a sad lobster noise at him. And pretended it was an anaconda noise.

Walter hissed at her in Parseltongue, which is hard to do while trying not to snicker, but he mostly pulled it off. //You're silly. I'd coil with you.//

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had absolutely no idea what that meant. So she gave him another squeeze, then let go to try and reach out and get another spoon without letting go of the one she had.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Someone had to keep the squeezing going here. It might be a theme. Walter put his arm around her waist and squeezed her while she tried to get the spoon.

"What did you do today?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia squirmed a little and tried to stretch a bit further for the other spoon. "After class I went out to the beach for awhile. Other than that . . . nothing much,"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

The stretching wasn't making Walter want to loosen his hold at all. Funny how that worked.

"That sounds like a good idea before Fall's over."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia squirmed again. Alllllmost. . . . "It was too cold to swim, though. But I had a little picnic and talked to Billy and Pippi a bit."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Now squirming was even better. He wasn't trying to keep her from getting the spoon when he tightened his hold, just keeping her from falling over. Yes.

"Did she tell you where she and Pip were? I didn't see them at Homecoming."

[nadiathesaint]

*squirmsquirm*

"Apparently they got reeeeeeeeeeeeeally distracted and had a dance of their own instead."

*squiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirm*

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

What was she saying? Walter almost missed it.

But, only almost.

He made a face. "I think this is what it would feel like if you said my sister was doing that."

[nadiathesaint]

Almost . . . got it!

Nadia straightened and tried to press the spoon to her nose.

It slid off.

"You have a sister?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter caught the spoon and snagged a bite of ice cream, shaking his head rather than answering with his mouth full.

He swallowed and said, "No. But if I had a sister, I think it would feel like that to think about... yeah."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded. "Okay, I can see that. She said it was 'weird' but also 'fine', so it might not be anything dirty."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"If she and Pip aren't hurt or traumatized, I probably don't want more details." He had another spoonful. "But you were right and I was wrong about them."

[nadiathesaint]

"That's so nice to hear." Nadia smirked and grabbed a spoonful for herself. "I hear it so seldomly."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter tapped his spoon on the tip of her nose. "Enjoy it, then. I don't think you're always wrong." Mm... ice cream.

[nadiathesaint]

"Just when I disagree with you," Nadia said light-heartedly. "You got ice cream on my nose, didn't you."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Would I do that?" Walter asked. Of course, he was smirking at her nose, too.

[nadiathesaint]

"Yes. You defintely would."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter set his spoon down in the bowl and wiped the spot off her nose with the ball of his thumb. "See. Right again."

[nadiathesaint]

"I should deny you the ice cream for that."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You wouldn't do that to me. I'm too charming."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hmmm. Modest, too." Nadia spooned out some of the melting ice cream and held it up. "I think first I should get some ice cream on your nose, though."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter eyed the spoon and shook his head. "You had a little spot of ice cream on your nose. You have enough there to make a sundae out of me."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia poked her finger in the ice cream to get a little spot on that and held it up. "I could do it this way? And then you get to eat the rest of the ice cream."
