third floor common room - wednesday evening - 1/21

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir was, quite frankly, exhausted.

That said, as the dorms were as powerless as the rest of town, he'd brought the remainder of the food from the Cafe to the common room. As such, there were a few still-steaming tureens on the counter for anyone who might need a quick bite or something warm. He'd also scared up a few different kinds of moddable cookies that he'd set out with it. Cold, but tasty.

Not that he cared at this point. Right now, he was having trouble keeping his eyes open and on the page of his book. Makejoy tried her very hardest to keep him awake by being professionally cute at him but even walking over him was having very little effect.

[liir's drowsy and waiting for someone but post is open and soup/hot chocolate is warm and free]

Hurley was bundled up, a lot. He had a blanket draped over himself, he had his earmuffs on, a sweatshirt, the lot.

"Dude, why am I not surprised you got food for folks," he told Liir as he came in.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Mmm?"

Liir squinted from the couch and looked over at Hurley, somewhat bleary.

The words finally translated.

"Hmmmnmmm."

Which was 'yeah'.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"...you okay, dude?" Hurley asked.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He nodded absently, mostly to make sure that Hurley didn't get worried about him, and shifted on the couch to curl around one of the cushions.

"Tired," he finally got out as Makejoy crossed over to try and lick him in the face from a different angle.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Pause. "You need anything?" Hurley asked.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He grinned a little, looking up at Hurley but not quite focusing as the puppy landed on his chest.

"M'good. Thanks."

Beat.

"Soup?"

And he pointed at the soup.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"You want soup, or you're offering soup?" Hurley needed clarification.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He shook his head before realizing that wasn't very helpful.

"You can," he said.

"Soup. Take some soup."

He scrubbed his face.

"Sorry."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude, I'm thinking you need a nap," Hurley said. "Seriously."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He nodded and pulled Makejoy up like a pillow before she started squirming and licking him, which woke him up a little.

"Mmmm," more awake and a little cranky, though that evened out once he started petting the puppy "yes, well... I'm an idiot, but there you go. How was your day?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"...how does this make you an idiot?" Hurley asked.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He gave Hurley a faint smile.

"I spent the day walking around town delivering soup," he explained, "as part of... I don't know, marketing. For the Cafe. And I don't like people being cold."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude, delivering soup to people, for free? That doesn't make you an idiot, that like... makes you a saint," Hurley said.

"Liir?" Amber said as she shuffled through the doorway in her purple Snuggie and bunny slippers.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He was sitting on the Snuggie. He had not forgot it!

He blinked up at her and gave her a sleepy smile.

Makejoy, on the other hand, ran for her, tail wagging.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Hello, little girl," Amber said and bent immediately to scoop her up in her arms, hugging her wiggling self. "You are being sweet? I know you are..." she cooed, getting sloppy kisses.

Stepping over to the couch, she carefully set Makejoy back down and reached a hand over to mess with Liir's hair. "You look exhausted, hon."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

There were no grumblings or mumblings about it. Amber was tugged over as makeshift teddybear as Makejoy settled on his feet.

"Yeah, just a bit" he yawned "tired."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Aw, poor thing. Out and about being super nice to everyone," she said, more than happy to be used as a teddybear. "You'll sleep well tonight, hm?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Stay with me tonight?" he asked in return with a kiss to her hair.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"I was planning to," she replied, snuggling in close. "Want a Skittle?" she said, opening up her palm to reveal slightly warm candy. There were only a few there.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"What are they?"

Yes, he had no idea.

"They're very... bright."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"They're candy. My favorite," she told him, holding up her hand a little. "Like a rainbow." Okay, so she quoted the commercial, so what. "Taste one?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He grinned, still a bit sleepy, closed his eyes and opened his mouth.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Grinning, Amber plucked up an orange one from her hand and slipped it past his lips, to place on his tongue.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He sucked on it for a moment, blinking at the acidic quality before feeling it soften and chewing at it. He swallowed before looking at Amber again.

Expectantly.

And opening his mouth just a little.
