The gym, Friday morning

[can_be_more]

Aeryn makes her way to the gym as normal, save for the little egg baby she's carrying with her. She discovered last night that eggs kind of roll when you just leave them on a flat surface (especially with a curious DRD trying to poke at it), so she's also carrying said egg baby in a bowl cushioned with a dish towel. Because leaving it just in the bowl itself seemed kind of sad. At least she's appropriately embarrassed about this.

She puts the bowl down where she can see it, gets the gloves, and does a quick warmup before Rory arrives.

[Thread for Aeryn and Rory locked to them. Otherwise the gym is open.]

Isabel had some excess energy to burn before she started packing for the trip to Tortall so she and Benjamin took a walk down to the gym.

"Hi Aeryn!" she called out as she set Benjamin's lunchbox down next to Aeryn's egg and opens it. "Now play nice kids..." She gave Benjamin's wee head (http://pics.livejournal.com/izzyalienqueen/pic/00001c8b) a pat then walked over to the mat and started to stretch.

Aeryn actually looked over to make sure her egg didn't get knocked over or anything, which is why she blinks at Benjamin. "Um," she says.

"I think they'll play nice together," Isabel said, stretching down over her legs.

She's still boggling a little. "I'm not sure they'll be doing much playing... Isabel, does your egg have a face?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yup," she nodded, as if there was nothing wrong with that. "I think I did a good job and gave him his daddy's eyes."

Now she's boggling a lot. "You know your egg's father was a rooster, right?"

Isabel laughed. "I do. I was just bored in the library yesterday after class and amused myself with markers."

"So you drew a face on your Ethics assignment?" she says. "Does its other parent know?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I told him I was going to do it," she grinned. "He didn't have a problem with it."

Aeryn looks back towards her egg. "I think mine is fine faceless," she decides.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"But does he have a name at least?" she asked, only half joking.

[can_be_more]

"Egg," she says. And then adds, "D'Anna named him."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's simple," Isabel said. "I like it. That's Benjamin. Bel picked out the name."

"I brought my own gloves!" Rory says proudly.

Her gloves? Are pink.

This probably isn't that surprising.

[can_be_more]

It shouldn't have been that surprising, and Aeryn should really know better. Still looking at the gloves, she says, "I suppose there's no question of you being ready for today..."

"I'm ready like Freddie," Rory replies, and Rory being Rory, she waves to the egg. "What's its name?"

[can_be_more]

"Egg," she answers. "Who's Freddie?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I forgot," Rory says, lightly smacking her forehead. "That rhymed in English. It's just a saying. You didn't name your wee eggie?"

[can_be_more]

"No, we named him Egg," Aeryn says. And adds, "I didn't pick the name."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Is Egg a boy or girl?" she wonders.

[can_be_more]

"Male," she says. "I don't think I can call it a boy. Does your coparent have your egg?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Stark has Sheila, yep," Rory says, nodding. "Until Monday, since I have Alanna's thingy today."

[can_be_more]

If Aeryn really knew Stark, there'd really be more of a reaction to that. "Sheila," she says. "Female? When do you leave?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Sheila's a girl and later this afternoon," she answers. "It's kind of like the trip to Coruscant, with the weird time thing." And now Rory's pulling on her gloves and trying not to think about that trip.

[can_be_more]

And Aeryn's completely bypassing it. "Why can't I have that time travel thing to my reality?" she says. "Do I sign up for it somewhere?"
