third floor common room - tuesday around dinner time

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Someone was experimenting.

After today, after everything today, he'd decided that he needed chocolate. But not just chocolate. Spiced chocolate. And not just spiced chocolate. But spiced chocolate with a touch of coffee for bitterness and a little bit of vanilla to balance it and warm gooey--

Let it be put this way: aside from making up a light rice and vegetable dish for dinner, he's also whipped up two trays worth of brownies, rather modified from the original recipe in one of the cook books he'd gotten.

Meanwhile, the bunny guarded Liir's bag and his tome-o-magical-learning from his spot on the far side of the counter. Liir thanked him with scritches and a kiss or two whenever he could step away from the stove, as well as cilantro and carrots so... life wasn't half bunny bad for anyone today.

Cimorene had pretty much had it with the spontaneous singing about her one true love and the twittering birds. She figured she'd be at least free of the later inside. Coming into the room, she nodded at the boy and the bunny.

He smiled and waved at her. The bunny perked up, but was mostly involved with the cilantro.

"Hello," he said, a little nervous as he didn't know her.

"Brownie?"

Cimorene had wanted to say thank you, she really had. "It's a guest! It's a guest! Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed! Wine's been poured and thank the Lord. I've had the napkins freshly pressed. With dessert. She'll want tea. And my dear that's fine with me" Came out instead. "Bother!"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Brownie, actually," he said with a faint smile, quite willing to ignore the interruption. It was the typical Ozian way of handling things.

Strangely enough, that was also Cimorene's way. "Thank you, I'm Cimorene." The princess was half shocked that she got that much out before
"-Undefeated
Riding high
And the nicest guy
not conceited".
In an un-princess like move, Cimorene shoved the brownie in her mouth.

Considering his only experience with royalty involved the other children at Kiamo Ko, he didn't particularly note anything wrong with that.

"Liir," he said with another smile. "And the bunny is Andrew, who isn't usually a bunny."

[makescherries.livejournal.com]

"I hope he doesn't start hopping and trying to braid my hair." Cimorene muttered darkly. Apparently, she couldn't sing with a brownie jammed in her throat.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"No," he said with a faint smirk, "generally, he settles in his pocket on my bag or cuddles up with me. At least, as a bunny. Otherwise, he's brilliant and handsome and goes to classes... and cuddles up with me."

[makescherries.livejournal.com]

Cimorene opened her mouth to reply and felt a song swell up. Another brownie got shoved in her mouth. "Do you know how he turned into a bunny?" She said around the brownie. "Pardon my manners."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He shook his head.

"No pardon necessary. They're just fine. And I believe it's called quote Fandom weirdness unquote," he said. "I've been told he'll be back in a week or so."

Cimorene kept the brownie in her mouth to keep the singing down. The crumbs though...she automatically cleaned up the mess she was making. "This kind of thing happen often?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He reached into the fridge and pulled out the milk, pouring her a glass. She'd probably feel the burn soon enough.

"The singing or my boyfriend currently being a small fuzzy bunny?"

Said boyfriend looked up at the mention and Liir picked him up to cuddle him to his chest before scritching under his chin. Andrew rubbed Liir's fingers and made a soft grinding noise.

Liir smiled.

"Apparently, both are somewhat normal though others find it similarly inconvenient."

"Back home, people turned into animals all the time." Cimorene mumbled, still keeping her mouth full. "The singing...is annoying."

Adam was wondering what the heck was up with all the spontaneous singing. Seriously. Thankfully, he'd been humming mostly... but, still. It was starting to get really annoying.

Wondering what people were up to, Adam wandered one floor down, making his way to the common room.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Brownies?" came the immediate offer. The bunny as well as the boy looked up in greeting.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Oh, thanks," Adam nodded, taking one. Noticing the bunny, he couldn't help but smile. He idly wondered if it was a pet or maybe a student.

Hey, this was Fandom. Things like that happened all the time.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He held out a glass of milk as well.

"They're spiced," he explained as he picked up the bunny and leaned against the counter. The rabbit leaned in close to Liir's chest and cooed happily.

"And the rabbit is Andrew Wells, if you happen to know him."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Adam smiled warmly, accepting the glass of milk. Nothing went with brownies better than milk. "They're really good," he noted.

"Yeah, I do know him," Adam nodded, realizing he hadn't seen or talked to Andrew in a while. That might just be why. "I'm Adam, by the way," he introduced himself, realizing they hadn't officially met. Not that he or his mun could remember, anyway.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

No, they hadn't met yet.

"Liir," he said in reply. "Nice to meet you. And I'm glad you like them. You're welcome to another if you want."

The rabbit looked curiously at Adam.

"Andrew should be fine in a few days. Quote Fandom Weirdness unquote, apparently."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Likewise, Liir," Adam smiled. He always liked meeting new people. "Yeah, they really are good." No, he wasn't just saying that. He meant it! "Oh, thanks. I think one's good for now," he admitted.

"I'm glad to hear that," Adam nodded. "Ahh, Fandom weirdness strikes again," he chuckled, shaking his head. "Happens when you least expect it, too."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I spent the week before break two different colors," he said wryly. "I certainly understand."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that must have been quite an experience," Adam commented, wondering how Fandom weirdness had managed to miss him so far. As soon as he thought that, he knew he was going to regret it. "Yeah, I'm wondering just when something like that will happen to me."

He had a feeling that something was going to happen to him now, sooner or later. Nice.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"You weren't singing today? Not at all?"

He was reminded of Ino's plan of throwing things at people who didn't sing.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"I was humming most of the day," Adam admitted. "But no singing. Not yet."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"It'll happen," he said knowingly. "Just wait."
