Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[not_in_the_book]

"Can you hand me the ginger?" Ronan asked, as he ground some spices with a mortar and pestle. "The fresh, I mean." The fragrant smells of cooking curry were already pervading the common room, and probably making their way through the rest of the dorms. When Isabel handed over the asked-for ginger, he added some to the mixture in the mortar, and went back to grinding. "Thanks. I hope this isn't too spicy for whoever else comes along," he added.


[OOC: Open, as common rooms are! Come have some curry. :D]

"I don't know," Turtle, who was, admittedly, kind of in a mooood, wrinkled her nose and hoped she sounded more teasing than she felt. "I thought maybe I'd just sit here and look at it."

"Oh, well, if you insist," Ronan said, laughing. "I'll just sit here and eat it, then. And not give any to you." Ronan, by the way, was very good at returning any moooods that might be around.

"Well, maybe a little bit of eating," Turtle said, edging a little closer with a little frown because it really did smell good, and just looking at it sounded like a crappy idea.

"Uh uh, you said just looking," Ronan said, laughing.

"I said 'I thought' and 'maybe,'" Turtle argued back simply. "Very nonconclusive terms, that would unlikely hold up in a court of law."

"Ah, but we're not in a court of law," Ronan said. "In fact, you're dealing with a wizard; words are my lifeblood."

"Well, you're dealing with a lawyer," Turtle retorted with a bit of a smirk. "They're our lifeblood, too, and you'll agree with me that I did, in fact, say maybe and, therefor, I have not really made a decision either way on the sitting and looking issue."

"Ah, but, you see, what you learn as a wizard is that everything you say has consequences; these include some people taking your initial statements at face value." Ronan grinned. "Such as, in this case, the implication that you weren't interested in eating any of this delicious food."

"Well, it certainly isn't my fault, then, that you failed to see the statement from a more deeper side," Turtle pointed out, on the edge of a smirk herself.
