4th Floor Common Room - Monday Afternoon

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

For once Rose didn't feel like being outside - something about the humidity or the thunderstorms or whatever. She didn't feel like being in her room which still felt too empty without Morgana there either so she found herself down in the common room with the music turned up loudly.

Even better, in the refrigerator, there was a tube of chocolate chip dough. Rose eyed it warily. Should it be eaten with a spoon or should she try to make cookies? The oven was on and a cookie sheet was out, but the possibility of ruined cookies was high once they actually went in the oven. Difficult choices for a Monday afternoon.

"Can make brownies." Not your garden variety ones, no. "But no, not cookies." They didn't have quite the same allure to her. Funny, that.

It was a deep shock, really. "Look at that well-hidden streak of domesticity there," Rose teased. "When are you going to make brownies for us, Effy?"

Effy shrugged idly, and hopped up to sit on the counter. "No one's asked yet." Not that she'd necessarily do it just because someone asked, but she wasn't one to just up and make things for people without a little impetus from someone else.

Rose pushed the tube of cookie dough over to her if she wanted some. "You should make some before I leave in August," she decided, giving her a grin. "I'll even ask nicely and stuff."

Well, that was an amusing prospect. Despite not really being hungry, she snagged the tube to pick at a bit.

"Go on then." Effy was quite happy to let people put on their best flattery to get her to do stuff, yes. "Persuade me."

"Well, I just fed you," Rose nodded at the cookie dough, totally amused at the response. "And, you know, you can't deny it'd be hilarious and a chance for you to show off your mad baking skillz." Yes, it was pronounced with a z, dammit. "So, Effy, you absolutely should make brownies at some point before I leave. Please?"

Wow, asking nicely. Amazing.

"Please, huh?" Definitely nice. Aww.

Nice enough, at the very least, for a, "Maybe." It was mischievous enough that Effy would probably do it for that alone, but-- "If you help." Because it was far more fun to haul someone else in, and since she was the one asking...

Rose laughed. "Oh, I will so help," she decided. "Just don't ask me to deal with the actual baking part."

"You can stir," Effy told her. Because she sure as hell wasn't into the arm ache she'd get from that. "Best part." Or something.

"Just name me a day."
