Platypus campfire, early evening

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was kind of grumpy so she was sitting in front of the fire making smores. And she just kept making them, one after the other until she had three pretty tall stacks going. After her visit at the book store, she had handwavily bought the stuff to fix them. Her's seemed to be just a little messy. But they were good that way. She's already had two. No three. There might have been chocolate smeared on her chin. And fingers. Probably her shirt too where she tried to wipe her fingers clean.

Friends were getting hurt, there was some psycho out there doing it, and all of it was just discomforting. She needed a big shotgun. Or at least a taser in each hand.

So she was cooking and eating and doing a pretty good job of it.

(it's open, yes, to anyone.)

"I do appreciate it." he said, taking a bite of the s'more. A bit of chocolate melted out and landed on his jeans. He shrugged cause, hey, he could give a crap. "And I'm very hungry."

She watched him and grinned, "Good uh? I've been sitting here slaving over the hot campfire for at least an hour. I probably deserve something." Annette took a big bite of her third s'more. Or it could be her fifth. Who the crap cared?

"Oh yeah?" he said, raising his eyebrow. "What sort of something?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She shrugged her shoulders and looked down at the half-eaten s'more in her hand, "Well, I don't know. First time I ever cooked for anyone in my life." Heating up a can of soup so did not count. Annette cut her eyes over at him, "And you're just not anyone, Dick, so I'm thinking that that something would have to be pretty good."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"They are pretty good." he said. Of course Dick had already got something for her. He's just being a brat and waiting for the right time when the mun actually has a day off to RP "I'll be sure to do something very special for you."

Annette gave him a little grumpy look again, but it was only cause it felt good to make that grumpy look, "Did you know that patience is not one of my better qualities? I'm trying but I think I might have a few rough spots in between that trying. And I love it when you give me that look."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"What look?" he asked. "I have a look?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, and it's cute and OH! Guess what? Turtle apologized. Can you believe that? She even gave me a semi-gift." Annette leaned towards him and whispered, "Candles. Aphrodisiac candles. I'm not too sure here, but I think they are supposed to make us happy."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

Dick grinned. "Ooooh! Aphrodisiac candles? Not that I need help in that department. But awesome!"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know." She blinked and grinned and wondered if he had used them before. She wasn't going to ask. "You don't need help but I'm thinking I'll let you light them and then we can just sit there and face each other and close our eyes and inhale and...like, what happens? I mean, do we get wild? What?"

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

Dick shrugged. "I don't know. I've never really tried an aphrodisiac before. I don't even like oysters."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Oh. "It will be our first time experimenting then. I like experiments." She made an icky face. "Oysters are nasty."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"They are nasty." said Dick. "But they say it's an aphrodisiac."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"I'm not having any. I can make my own aphrodisiac. I don't even need an aphrodisiac. One time at this big fancy party my parents were having? I saw this old guy take an oyster shell and tilt his head back to let the little sucker slide down his throat, well, the oyster missed his mouth and plopped on his chin." Annette shuddered. "He tried to lap it up with his tongue cause he had two other oysters in each hand. He saw me looking at him and tried to grin while still doing the tongue thing to get the thing in his mouth. That's when his teeth fell out and that's when I turned and ran. Totally freaked me out."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"That is one of the nastiest things I've ever heard." said Dick, nodding. "And it makes me hate oysters more."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Good. Cause we are smart and know better than to eat nasty crap that could stick to our faces. So, you are totally sleeping in my alcove tonight, K?"

(aww, *hugs* I'm sorry!)
