Fifth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Armed with her share of the pavlova she and Jacob had made in class today, Sookie was camped in front of the television. Her conversation with Loki had cheered her up considerably, as had the reserves, so tonight she was combating the depression that threatened to set in via two very well-known techniques: sugar, and horribly, horribly inane horror/sci-fi movies on basic cable.

She wasn't exactly sure what was happening on the screen -- there seemed to be a large insect-person, but moments earlier there had also been a dinosaur, and there was scary music playing the whole while -- but it certainly was distracting. As was this awesome marshmallow thing they'd made, though she'd probably share some of it.

[I am not being dragged out into a funnel cloud, so let us celebrate with a CR and a completely moddable SyFy-esque movie.]

Sookie, sugary treats, and SyFy movies? Any one of those things would've been an effective draw for Bobby. So was it any surprise that he was there for all three?

"So, I have some news," he announced dramatically, coming in to the room and sitting next to Sookie.

"Is it about your bride?" Sookie drawled, smirking at him.

[longislandiceme]

...Karla was such a fun-ruiner. "Aw, man, Karla ruins all my fun," he pouted. Yeah, as if Sookie would've actually taken him seriously?

"She told me at the reserves. We decided that I can just go on having an extramarital affair with you," she replied. "Will pavlova fix that sad pouty face?" She held out the fork.

[longislandiceme]

"Are you going to make me ring a bell or something before I can have any?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

And that just got a puzzled look from her. "Why? I made it! I promise it's good!"

Oh, Sookie. Bobby's finally punned so well it went over your head.

[longislandiceme]

"You know," Bobby waved a hand. "Pavlov, with the dogs and the bells and making them drool?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Oh." Now it clicked, and she was giggling. "Yeah, no, as much as the sight of you drooling is, I admit, just such a turn-on, I'm going to say you can just have a bite without any Pavlovian responses. It's Australian!"

Don't say that like it's supposed to be exotic, Sookie.

[longislandiceme]

"See, this is why I like you," Bobby declared. "You feed me."

Yeah. Totally the only reason. Really.

"Good to know my talents aren't going to waste," she said dryly.

[longislandiceme]

"Well, you've... experienced... my fiancee's cooking," Bobby pointed out. "Do you really want me to have to live with that for the rest of my life?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I think she blew hers up today," she said, gesturing to the pavlova. "It's really sort of impressive."

[longislandiceme]

"But yours won't blow up," Bobby checked, pausing midway to reaching over with his fork. "Right?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"No, honey. It's fine," she promised with a sigh. "Jacob and I made it. So much confidence in me. Karla's just...unique. Thank God she and Rilla don't get along or else I'm fairly certain the school would have already burnt down."

[longislandiceme]

"Well, I've never heard of it," Bobby pointed out. "For all I know the exploding could've been a, a feature or something."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Just marshmallow and Australian-ness. You can do an awesome accent while eating it," she suggested. "Or...do something else Australian. Be a dangerous animal?"

Sookie didn't know a lot about Australia.

[longislandiceme]

"No, I think you've got the Australian animals avenue covered," Bobby pointed out with a snicker.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"That was just one time!" she said, going to dab a bit of whipped cream on his nose for that.

Because she was mature.

[longislandiceme]

Which just meant that Bobby was gonna go crosseyed trying to lick it off his own nose.

It didn't work.
