Third Floor Common Room [Saturday, Mid-morning]

Trouble with being six, rather than sixteen, was always going to start with the size problem. Mostly the height problem. Everything good always seemed to be kept just out of reach of small hands, and that included a decent breakfast.

Effy didn't really want to starve, but at the same time, there wasn't exactly anyone around to do it all for her.

So she was going to stand and stare up at the higher cupboards, like maybe she could make them relinquish the food in there with just the power of her mind.

Clearly it wasn't going very well.

She tried to parse that out for a long moment. "...but grown ups do that all the time. Is that why?"

"Probably," Alex agreed, nodding. "You should start pointing that out to them. I'm sure they'll love it. Most adults I know are wrong."

"But you're a grown up almost," Rose pointed out. "So you're wrong too. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wroong."

"You looking to get something dropped on your head?" Alex wondered. "Because you're being an awful bitch."

Her eyes widened in protest. "You were the one that told me to say it!!"

"I'm not an adult." Well, he was but not in the way he was talking about. "I meant the old old old people. Not me, kid. You tell me I'm wrong, you're getting tossed in a lake."

...

Rose should not be so curious to see if he actually would.

"You're wrong!"

Alex glared at her and then calmly went over, filled a glass with water and dumped it on her head.

Yep.

She made a squincy face at the cold water drenching her hair and glared up at him. "That's not a lake!"

"Oops," Alex said, not sounding too bothered about that. "My mistake. Guess I am dumb, then."

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-04-24 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"But you promised!" Rose argued indignantly. "You said you'd dump me in a lake. Please?"

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-04-24 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"You really want to get dumped in a lake?" Alex asked, staring. "Really?"

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-04-24 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Duh!" she said, staring back. "I never got dumped in a lake before!"

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-04-24 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do you know how to swim?" Alex had to ask because he was not dumping her into a lake and having her drown on him.

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-04-24 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Now she just looked insulted. "Of course I do! I'm five!" Like he might have forgotten.

"...fine," Alex said, already heading out of the common room. "I'll go dump you in a lake and then I'm coming back here to have breakfast."
