Fifth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie was sort of surprised by the very sticky rain, and that in and of itself was a mark of how long she'd been there.

And after a day spent indoors reading, she decided to do something smart about the rain. And so she wandered out to her common room, found it empty, and took to carefully positioning some buckets to hang out the windows.

Sookie, meanwhile, set to work mixing up some pancake batter. And, of course, frying up some bacon and eggs. It wasn't really breakfast-for-supper unless you had all the components.

[oooooopen!]

"Bacon's only good because it's in such relatively small portions," Sookie decided. "A whole plate wouldn't be good at all. Just salty."

[intraspective]

"Unless you were having a serious craving," she laughed, finished loading her plate. "Or maybe a competition. I bet there's a bacon eating competition, or something, somewhere in this world."

"There's contests for just 'bout everything else. Bon Temps does pie-eating every year," Sookie told her, nodding.

[intraspective]

"Pie is a good one for a contest like that," she admitted. "At least, it sounds like it. I'd fail miserably at any sort of contest like that."

A beat.

"Bon Temps? You're French, maybe?"

"The town's name is -- it's in Louisiana," she offered, grinning. "You speak French?"

[intraspective]

"It's about a hundred years out of date," she admitted, "but yeah, I speak a fair bit of it."

"Oooh. I can just, you know, say 'bonjour' and I know 'sorti' means exit, and stuff like that," Sookie said. "Part of growin' up in Creole country."

It should be noted that her accent was atrocious.

[intraspective]

Ino totally picked up on that, yes. She grinned.

"I can see that if you don't need it, you'd only get a few words," she agreed. "I picked mine up out of necessity. Stuck in the past for seven months, all by yourself, pretty much means you got to figure out what the locals are babbling in."
