Third floor common room [afternoon]

Mat had nothing to do on Wednesdays, which meant that he slept in until it was borderline criminal (and the yellow paint on the walls of his room gave him a headache), then poked around looking for something to entertain him.

Today he had settled on tossing dice in the third floor common room and hoping someone would come along who could cook for him. The burnt remains of what had been a package of bacon in the trash can--and the smoke in the room--would let people know how Mat's first attempt at fending for himself had worked out.

Jaime let out a long whistle. "Niiiiice. You got any tips?" What with him just having gotten dumped and all.

"Women love to feel like they're teaching you something because you're too dumb to figure it out yourself," Mat said with a wise nod. "So let them. Every one of them. And laugh at their jokes."
weldedtomyspine: (trying hard not to laugh)

"That sounds too easy," Jaime objected.

"Can you dance?" Mat asked.
weldedtomyspine: (lost in thought)

"Just enough to look like an idiot when I try."

"You should fix that," Mat recommended. "Dance well, and women will forgive you just about anything."
weldedtomyspine: (such a dork)

"And I should find one to teach me, right?" See? Jaime was a quick study.

"Exactly!" Mat said, grinning. "You've got a brain in there. Clearly not nobility, right?"

"Not even close," Jaime laughed.

He thought for a moment. "Any suggestions on who I should ask?"

"Someone pretty," Mat suggested, "who smiles when she talks to you. They don't have to be good at dancing. They'll just be happy you want to spend more time with you."
weldedtomyspine: (chortling)

"That's pretty unhelpful considering how many girls that seems to describe around here," Jaime complained half-heartedly.

Then inspiration struck. "Hey, aren't there different styles of dancing? Maybe I could get different girls to teach me different styles..."
