3rd Floor Common Room, Monday Morning

[bookbeltof_love]

Was Nina messing with tradition?

Nina was super messing with tradition!

Partly because she'd woken up early, confirmed that everyone was as they should be (and that Foomy was no longer… what… he'd been…) and then been unable to get back to sleep and partly because after last week's sprinkles, she'd decided that enough was enough and that clearly Wayne needed a break!

So she got to the common room first!

She was, after all, perfectly capable of making delicious and healthy pancakes and waffles, and sausage and bacon and scrambled eggs herself and cutting up fruit really took no effort at all and if it wasn't as fancy as Wayne's quiche, well, she was confident that it was at least tasty.

Out of consideration for what Tisarwat had told her about gloves and their properness, just in case the other girl showed up, Nina was cooking while wearing gloves. Not her pretty, fancy ones. But a simple black pair, ones that wouldn't show a stain too badly, if it came to that.

Nina hummed as she bopped along to a song only in her head.

[Tradition usurped with permission from howareyanow! Open breakfast is open!]

"Okoye's just like that," Shuri said.

……………

"…………………. that's, like, the opposite of reassuring," Nina said, rather plaintively.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"That will please her," Shuri said unhelpfully.

[bookbeltof_love]

"Oooooooooh, one of thooooooooooooooooose," Nina said, looking a little less anxious about that. "Well, I'd hide under my bed from her," which was, in fact, where she tended to hide, "but then I'd miss the hot guys I know are coming............. so............. no can do there..............."

Because Nina was super, super not going to miss out on a chance to spend time with Prompto's guys.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Do not refer to my brother as a hot guy, please," Shuri whined. "Because ewww."

[bookbeltof_love]

"I wasn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yet. She wasn't yet. She would be after she met him!

Nina dug out her phone.

"But, like, look at these three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And they're coming for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Bless.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"All right, they are not horrible to look at," Shuri admitted, grinning. She pulled out her communicator and punched a button to get a picture to hover above it. "This is my big brother. The dork."

[bookbeltof_love]

"Not horrible!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelped, because that was damning with faint praise there--

"But, oooooooooooh, he's cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nina was easily sidetracked by pretty guys.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"I have a date tomorrow," Shuri said. "I can't be squealing over other cute boys. And my brother is not cute. He's weird. And dorky. And has funny looking toes."

[bookbeltof_love]

"But I don't have a date," Nina said, rather plaintively. "And I like squealing over cute boys!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, like, most cute boys, I have found, are super dorky???????????????? Noctis????????? The first one I showed you???????????? He's, like, obsessed with fishing and is sulking that I caught a bigger fish than he did from weeks ago..................."

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Boys," Shuri scoffed. "Even when they grow to be men, they are boys. It is only a fish."

[bookbeltof_love]

She giggled.

"Right??????? But, like, it's kind of funny at the same time??????????????"

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Oh, it's completely hilarious," Shuri agreed. "They're so sensitive and adorable."
