Covent Garden Flowers, Friday (9/20)

Keyleth had a cup of coffee in her hands when she came in today. She'd been steadily sipping at it since she bought it half an hour ago, and it was half gone by the time she arrived at work.

Where the flowers were singing again, this week, only they seemed to be doing bawdy old drinking songs in five-part harmony. At least, she would guess they were bawdy drinking songs; something about them just sounded like the kind of thing that would make her get kind of flaily and embarrassed.

At least if the tips of her ears were a bit red today, it wasn't all that noticeable against her hair?

[OOC: Yeah, IDK. Post open, SP pretty much a guarantee today.]

Oh yeah, blended in with the hair. Not so much the skin.

Trevor was returning the favor from last week, carrying a box of pastries that sounded kinda familiar. Also familiar? The songs.

"I think I've heard those."

"Have you really?" Keyleth asked, before looking up. "Oh my gosh, Trevor? You made it out of the library, hi!"

"It was quiet." And, as long as the librarian didn't catch him...
goldfishontherocks: (OMG)

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-20 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Did you sneak out of work?" If anything, Keyleth didn't sound disapproving so much as she did surprised. Maybe even a bit impressed. "You so did, didn't you?"
crack_that_whip: (sassing your ass)

"It's not like anyone would notice," Trevor said with all the confidence a teenage boy could have.

The books were totally starting a mutiny as they spoke.

"I wouldn't rule that possibility out completely," said Keyleth, all too aware that crit fails were a thing. (Not in those terms, but.)

And then she realized he was carrying a box. "Oooooh, what do you have there?"

Wait, was she assuming too much by thinking he'd brought them to share, and hadn't just stopped to run an errand on the way over? Oops.
crack_that_whip: (talking at you)

[personal profile] crack_that_whip 2019-09-20 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
His critical misses were mostly just his life. It was a thing.

"You brought me cookies." He shoved the box toward her. Don't make him use his words here, Keyleth.
goldfishontherocks: (Wow)

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-20 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but." Keyleth was leaning forward to inspect the box anyway. "I didn't want you to feel obligated to return the favor or anything."

She paused, thought that over for a second.

"I mean -- I do appreciate it, and it's really nice of you! I just hope you didn't do this because you thought you had to, you know?"

"Neither did you," he replied,shiving it a little more. "You can toss them out for all I care."

Wait, no. They looked edible and full of nostalgia. Abort, abort!

Keyleth had already pulled out one of the pastries and was maybe sniffing at it a little bit, like it didn't occur to her that it might not be the most polite thing to do.

"Aw, I wouldn't do that. They smell delicious, anyway. You . . . are going to share them with me, right?"

She looked so hopeful, Trevor. Look at those wide eyes.
crack_that_whip: (oh is that what you think?)

[personal profile] crack_that_whip 2019-09-20 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Didn't have to tell him twice! Becayse those puppy eyes were fucking cheating.

He huffed, shoving one into his mouth. "Ish goo'," he mumbled around a mouthful of pastry.
goldfishontherocks: (Smiling (Trust Me))

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-21 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Keyleth laughed and broke hers in half before taking a bite. "Did you not know that for sure before you got them?"

And then she actually took that bite of it, and --

"Oooooh, that is good."
crack_that_whip: (idk maybe that guy)

"Bread tastes different here. I wasn't sure this wouldn't too," he said. Thankfully after swallowing.
goldfishontherocks: (Worried (PoE2))

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-21 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Bread does, really?" Keyleth blinked at him. "I never thought about that. Mostly I'm busy still being weirded out that there's only one moon in the sky."
crack_that_whip: (wait what)

[personal profile] crack_that_whip 2019-09-21 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Trevor totally nodded along with that as he grabbed another pastry. Then caught up with what was being said. "Wait, what the fuck?"
goldfishontherocks: (Game Face (LoVM))

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-21 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
"We have two, at home," Keyleth explained with a shrug. "So every time I'm outside at night and I look up, I have this unnerving feeling like something's missing, and then I remember there's only the one here."

She finished off half of her first pastry and started in on the second half.

". . . is that really such a weird concept?"
crack_that_whip: (idk maybe that guy)

[personal profile] crack_that_whip 2019-09-21 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"For people with just one, yeah," Trevor replied. "Sounds like an awfully full night sky."

Also, think about the poor werewolves!

"Oh, no, it's not full at all," Keyleth began, then frowned as a thought occurred to her. "But -- is it just me, or does there seem like an awful lot less starlight here? You know, just in general?"

Thanks, light pollution!
crack_that_whip: (idk maybe that guy)

"I thought maybe there were just fewer ones in the future," Trevor admitted with a shrug.

Look, it made sense to him!
goldfishontherocks: (Thinky)

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-21 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
". . . I guess that's possible," Keyleth admitted, shrugging. "I was thinking it was getting drowned out by all the artificial lighting over on the mainland, but maybe a lot of them did disappear since your time, who knows? Wow, that's kind of sad, though."

"Sounds about right for humanity either way," he decided, considering her very valid, slightly less depressing point.

Half glass empty all the way.
goldfishontherocks: (* Half Smile)

"That's not terribly optimistic of you," Keyleth noted, "but then again, at least I know you're you, and not some random lookalike, or bitten by a gremlin, or anything like that."

SHE MEANT IT AS A FRIEND, OKAY.
crack_that_whip: (sassing your ass)

[personal profile] crack_that_whip 2019-09-21 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Trevor snorted, looking away as he sort of grinned at that. "Yeah, sure fire way to know it's actually me."
goldfishontherocks: (Default)

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-21 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's actually incredibly reassuring," Keyleth told him, looking terribly amused herself.

Also snagging another pastry.

"And I guess I'll always know it's you if you call me out on that shit," he said with a sort of playful shove at her shoulder.
goldfishontherocks: (Smiling (Trust Me))

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-21 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Keyleth laughed and aimed a poke at his shoulder in return. "Someone has to do it and be nice about it, and I guess that's my job."

"Could be worse, I guess." That was funny! You know, for him.
