Third Floor Commonroom - Saturday evening, 11/29

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir had had some laundry to do, which had gotten done earlier today, and now was getting to some baking.

The first tray, the madeleines, were already done and had been separated; most on a platter for anyone who would come by and the rest in small bags for him to keep in his bag.

The second tray, which had just come out required coating in the chocolate sauce that was carefully simmering on the stove. Watching both the tray and the pan, Liir had to admit from the lovely chocolate mint smell that the new recipe was one he would have to use again.

Though he had to wonder why it was called a 'thin mint' with all that butter in it...

[open as common rooms are, with thin mint approximations!]

Peyton wandered in and flopped down on the couch. "Smells good," she said.

"You're welcome to some," he offered to her as she made her way in.

"I don't know if I should after all I ate on Thursday," Peyton said with a smile. "But thanks for the offer."

"Did you have a great deal of turkey then? And... potatoes. Gravy? Cranberries."

It was obvious he was listing things off in his head.

"Turkey, gravy, stuffing, potatoes..." Peyton smiled at him. "And pies for dessert, of course."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Pies, yes," and he thought of Ned. "I haven't done a pie in a while. What kind of pie?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Well, pumpkin's the traditional one," Peyton said. "But there were all kinds. I'm kind of partial to chocolate cream myself."

"Did you go home? Or... was that here?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Here," Peyton said. "Wasn't much point in going home since my dad's still at sea."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"At sea?"

The whole idea was a bit foreign to him, considering.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"He has a dredging company, so he's off at sea most of the year," Peyton explained. "I don't see much of him."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Dredging company?"

...there is more clueless. He's got quite a bit of it when it comes to anything oceanic.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

Peyton handwavily explained in great detail.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir ... nodded to most of it.

"Sorry," he said once she was done. "We don't actually have anything larger than a lake in Oz."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"It's okay," Peyton said. "Half the people here haven't got a clue what it is."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Well, now I know, I suppose," he said with a smile.

"What have, er, what have you been up to of late? I'm sorry to say I haven't been out much."

She shrugged. "Nothing particularly exciting. Classes, cheerleading, work."
