5th Floor Common Room, Monday Morning

[thatsamilkshake]

There was a Francine, there was a top hat, and there was a very small, very fluffy, very white bunny trying to get out of the top hat.

"Will you please stay in there? At least while I get you some lettuce and grapes?" No carrots. "I don't want people to step on you."

Francine turned on the tv and channel-flipped 'til she hit a Bitterwoman repeat. So, you know. For about 30 seconds. "There. Watch that and... try to behave." Not that Francine's bedspread could attest to the pointlessness of that request.

No seriously, Francine. The island doesn't care. It will take the fall. Shut up! "This time. But the out of hand isn't really a magic thing. We seem to manage that just fine all on our own."

[bitchprince]

Arthur squinted at her. "Are you really trying to argue me on this?"

[thatsamilkshake]

Apparently, but since she couldn't figure out why she was trying to point out that the four of them managed to drum up plenty of relationship drama even when there wasn't a spell in the offing, something resembling sanity did finally take hold. "...No. Eat your grapes."

[bitchprince]

That squint transformed into something altogether more amused. "And now you're trying to order me around," he observed.

[thatsamilkshake]

"I'm not sure it counts as ordering if I tell you to do something you were going to do anyway."

[bitchprince]

"Oh, so you can read my mind, now?"

Sometimes, he was contrary just for the sake of being contrary. God help them all if he and Katchoo had really had that child.

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine: a) biased, b) good with five year olds.

"Yes. You're thinking, 'Wow, I love Give Francine A Hard Time Day. Can we do this every week?'"

[bitchprince]

God help them all, Arthur actually snickered. "Don't take it so personally. Besides, I think you overestimate yourself."

Every day was Give Merlin A Hard Time Day. That was a lot more fun.

[thatsamilkshake]

Very seldom, really. "Well, I deserve a day, don't I? Wednesday is Give Katchoo A Hard Time Day, after all." Even though the world he was kind of celebrating it early this week.

[bitchprince]

"I never give Katchoo more of a hard time than she needs," he said, settling into his seat quite comfortably as he flipped the knife neatly around in his hand. "God only knows if I wasn't there she'd spend most of her time sulking."

Which would be hilarious if it wasn't for his strange and unnatural talent at the art of annoying her out of it.

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine glanced at the hatful of bunny and sighed. "You're not wrong."

[bitchprince]

"And," Arthur said, taking the knife by the pointy end and pointing it at her, "If you must have one, then I would say Thursday is speaking to Francine day. Really, you should be more grateful." He glanced at the hat. "As should she."

[thatsamilkshake]

The non-bunny she blinked at him for a second, then snorted. "Well, I know that's why I go to church every week. I mean God I can talk to anywhere."

[bitchprince]

"I'm glad you've finally gotten yourself to admit it," Arthur said, magnanimously, "Now I just need Katchoo to admit she wants me."

Arthur and Katchoo had a whole different level of gay BFFhood going on.

[thatsamilkshake]

Aaaaaaaaand pa-CHING! We reach the end of Francine's ability to roll with the sarcasm.

"What?"

The rolling could've been rollier some week when Katchoo wasn't a bunny.

[bitchprince]

"You know, you both have very similar reactions when I say that," Arthur observed. He failed at sensitive.

[thatsamilkshake]

She regained a bit of her composure, at least, enough to shake her head and say, "Gee, I wonder why."

[bitchprince]

Arthur gave it a slight snicker, then added, "Don't worry, I'm not about to swoop in." Because he was barely a few months in and already whipped.

[thatsamilkshake]

"I'm so grateful. Really." She kind of was, though more for the fact that she was pretty sure you would have to pay Katchoo. And then get her drunk. And then pay her more.

[bitchprince]

Hey, a little Morgana had to come from somewhere.

"Like I said. You should be," he said, finally munching on a grape. Because he was awesome.
