Second Floor Common Room [Late Morning]

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

After his first class, Ned had come back to the dorms without much in mind as to what to do to pass the time until his class later in the day.

After talking himself into and out of it several times, he'd finally gathered up some things he'd purchased over the weekend and trundled everything down the hall to the common room. It was empty for the time being.

Before he could talk himself out of it once more, he started baking for the first time in years. A pie, of course. A simple apple pie but it felt good to be baking again. It'd been awhile.

[Open CR is open. He'll share, of course.]

"S'okay," Turtle said through the slightly open-mouthed attempt to cool down what was already in her mouth, bobbing her head again. "Worth it."

"I'll bring you a fan next time," Ned promised, smiling.

Turtle moved toward the fridge, to get herself the milk they were previously talking about; she started to pour a glass, finally swallowing to clearly say, "Nah, next time I'll just have to do this before eating the pie. You want any?"

"Oh, please, thank you," Ned said, dishing himself up a piece of pie. "And thanks."

Two glasses, then, and Turtle returned to her own slice of pie, handing Ned the second glass of milk. "Hey, no problem," she said, shrugging a bit and taking a sip of her own. "Now the picture is complete."

"Thank you for joining me," Ned said, toasting her with his glass.

Turtle lifted her glass in response. "No problem. Anything for floor solidarity." She took another sip and then dug back into her pie.

"Especially if there's pie involved."
