Fourth floor common room- Sunday night

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

Bored and hungry, Mirax had wandered out to the common room, where a short search of the kitchen led to finding a recipe, which in turn led to a trip into town to get supplies because once you saw something like that, you had to make it. You just had to.

It was almost done by now, so Mirax kept going to the fridge to check on it, like that would make it be done faster. There was TV on in the background for noise, but she had her priorities here and the TV wasn't it.


[So open! And now I want to make this.]

Bobby'd been passing by the common room when he spotted Mirax opening and closing the fridge door without actually taking anything out.

"Nothing good in there?" he assumed as he stepped into the room.

"No, there's something really good in there and it's making me impatient," she said, waving him over so she could show off.

[longislandiceme]

"Oooh?" Well, now he was intrigued. "Like, a food something?"

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"Pie something," Mirax said, opening the door again so he could see. And it actually mostly looked like it should, too, for being made by an amateur. "I know, I'm impressive."

[longislandiceme]

"You are impressive," Bobby said honestly. "I would've just made a mess, not a pie."

So sue her if she blushed. "That's okay, we haven't tasted it yet. It can still go horribly wrong," she promised.

[longislandiceme]

"Pshh," Bobby waved a hand. "Don't say that. I have faith in you. How long till it's doooone?"

"I... don't actually know how to check," she realized, then closed the door so she could go to the cabinet for a toothpick. "So we'll play a little game called trial and error."

[longislandiceme]

"Does the toothpick thing work if it's not actually baked?" Bobby asked, because he had no clue. Boy burned pasta, okay?

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure. I don't usually cook cold stuff," Mirax said, opening the door again to stick the toothpick in. "But it's supposed to be solid, so I figure it's easier than sticking my finger in it. And look, it seems to have worked!"

[longislandiceme]

Bobby was kind of partial to cold stuff, personally. "So now I guess the important question is: are you sharing?"

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"Of course I am," she said, pulling out the pie with one hand, and the whipped cream with the other. "I'm not nearly that mean to tease like that."

[longislandiceme]

"Good, 'cause otherwise I'd have to make this face at you," Bobby said, giving her an exaggerated pout.

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

Mirax tried to knock the smile off her own face to look very serious as she got the rest of the stuff out to finish making the pie pretty. "And we can't have that. Good think I'm not going to cause it."

[longislandiceme]

"Nope, instead you get this face!" Bobby gave her a wide grin. "Lucky you."

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"I like that one much better," she smiled back, and cut him a piece. "Now you get to find a plate, since this might be messy otherwise."

[longislandiceme]

"Right," Bobby nodded, rummaging through the cupboards for just that. "Okay, I'm ready. Pie me!" He held out his plate and then added a rather sheepish "Um. Please."

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

Mirax laughed, putting the piece on his plate. "There. You'd been pied. Happy?"

[longislandiceme]

"Extremely," Bobby said, saluting her with his fork. "And see, this is precisely the sort of thing that wouldn't have been possible had you been turned into a cat or something, so once again I must be grateful that you've so far remained you-shaped."

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"Me too," she agreed. "Because then you would have had to wait till I'd been de-catted, and that's a weird thing to wait for."

[longislandiceme]

"And hard to judge, because it's not like the thing on Friday where it's always just one day. Everyone I've spoken to was an animal for different lengths of time," Bobby pointed out.

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was definitely a smile from Mirax. "I missed you as a girl, didn't I?"

[longislandiceme]

"Yeah, I um... kinda spent most of the day in my room till it was pretty late?" Bobby admitted sheepishly.

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"I'm so sorry, I would have visited!" She really would have.

[longislandiceme]

"I took a couple pictures," he admitted. He still wasn't entirely sure why he'd done so. Wasn't like he could show anyone back home, after all.
