3rd Floor Common Room, Wednesday Morning

When Anders wandered into the common room to get breakfast, the TV was already showing a marathon of cooking shows. He settled in to watch one -- TV about pie went well with hot porridge -- and found himself learning far more than he'd expected about the upcoming harvest festival. Apparently pilgrims and turkeys were involved, and something about may flowers. (Which didn't make much sense when the calendar was all but coming up on Wintersend, but he'd stopped expecting Fandom to be comprehensible.)

He went to drop raisins into his cereal as the TV went on about marshmallow-topped potato casserole. It sounded overwhelming, but he'd gathered that was part of the point.

"Probably but with how I was, it's more likely that the Council would have just taken me," Nathan said, shrugging. "Kept me in a cage while I grew up."

That wasn't too far off on how he'd grown up but there had been some freedoms.

Anders shuddered. "You were right earlier. It could have been a lot worse."

"I won't let myself experience that again if I can help it," Nathan said, shaking his head. "I can't do that again."

"You won't have to," Anders promised. "They'd have to go through me, and probably not just me."

A tiny niggling voice in the back of his head asked what exactly he thought he could do against a team of Hunters. He shut it down.

For a second or two, Nathan didn't say anything. He couldn't. Maybe he was surprised and a little touched. A lot touched.

"Hopefully it doesn't come to that." Though he thought it might. "I don't want that to happen."
not_every_mage: ([neu] earnest)

"You'd be a mite touched in the head if you did," Anders informed him, waving it off vaguely. "But if it did come to that, you know I'd back you up."

"Thank you," Nathan said quietly. "I...appreciate that. Thank you."
not_every_mage: ([neu] wha?)

"Don't thank me too much before it happens," Anders said, trying to get them on a slightly less depressing path. "Which I hope it won't. Though if you're really grateful, I'd accept payment in pie in advance."

[identity profile] halfbad.livejournal.com 2014-11-26 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"You can have a payment of pie," he said, snickering. "I more meant thank you for even being willing. Not many are."
not_every_mage: ([pos] fond of you)

[personal profile] not_every_mage 2014-11-27 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Anders smiled, small and slow. "Not many know you the way I do," he said. "Besides, nobody wants to stick their neck out. And you're welcome.."

"I'll probably have some time to make that pie for you sometime later this week," he replied. "I'll pick something special."
not_every_mage: ([pos] sunshine!)

Anders grinned at him. "That sounds fantastic."

[identity profile] halfbad.livejournal.com 2014-11-27 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Good." Nathan smiled back. "I'll make it happen. Maybe try something new. Or...maybe not so I don't completely wreck the pie."
