Bringing a friend to the cantina. ((locked to victormakesart))

((note to self: concurrent with this, this, and this thread in the_other_rock))

There was a swish and a slight flash, and then Albus was standing near the bar with Fawkes on his shoulder and a young woman at his side. He blinked as always at the sudden change in scenery, then looked around with a smile to see if he could see anyone that he recognized before turning to Victor. "How do you feel, my dear?"

"Too bad you, like, can't just come here." Mary rubbed her nose as it itched and wondered if she'd get away with kissing Robbie. The thought made her turn red.

"Don't try it," said Cassie without really looking up.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Oooh. That'd be neat. 'M goin' t' the second best school f'r m' major, as currently, though."

She did a bit of a headtilty at the 'don't try it' because she didn't notice anything unusual, and it wasn't proper to mention when someone was blushing. Then she glanced at Mary. "Mmm?"

[random_xtras]

Mary put her hands over her cheeks, mentally cursing herself for only blushing for one reason. "Which one's that?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"University of Houston. 'S sorta...in th' Third Ward. Biggest crime rate in th' U.S."

She looked even more confused, frowned slightly. "'S goin' on? Did I say somethin' wrong?"

[random_xtras]

"Oh... fun." Mary blinked, then sighed and shook her head. "No. I was just thinking about something I'm not supposed to do till I'm older." A glance at Cassie's slight amused head shaking and a sudden rotten grin that came with more blushing. "Kissing boys."

"A lot older." Cassie chuckled and gently flipped a piece of pimento at her.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Yep! I love it, though. 'S home." She made a bit of a face, before she managed to supress her 'kissing is gross' reaction. That was tough. Very tough. Sheepish-sheepish. "'S...ummmm...ahem. Heh. Yeah."

[random_xtras]

"They scream like little girls." Mary noticed her face and stopped, brows raising in concern. "Um, did I say somethin' sketchy?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Heh." Pause-pause. Grin? "Nah, nothin' sketchy." But...kissing. Why would anyone want to do that?

[random_xtras]

"You sure?" She glanced at the pretty well empty plates and pushed her chair back to go get dessert without being asked.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Mmmhmmm." She decided not to put the fact that she was a total weirdo on display. :D "Thank y'."

[random_xtras]

Cassie smiled at her and stood to start gathering up the dishes while Mary pulled a tub of ice cream out of the freezer.

"Do you like Rocky Road?" The thirteen year old looked over her shoulder.


((Not a complete weirdo... or the only one. Even if I manage to find my cute nerd I ain't lookin' forward to doing that with him :p))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

((That's good, quite good. I've found that only 1% of the population classify themselves as asexuals. Minority, rock on?))

She stood up to help with the dishes.

"Sure do, thank y' very much."

[random_xtras]

"You don't have to get up." Cassie smiled at her. "Just relax and let supper settle."

"How much do you want?" Mary looked up from heaping bowls.


((*asexual with hetro leanings*))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

((Likewise!))

"Are y' sure? I could help..." Awkward-awkward.

"Ummm. Just a bit works f'r me, really."

[random_xtras]

"Awww, but you'll make us look like pigs." Mary dimpled and chuckled.

"I'm sure." Cassie smiled at Victor, then looked at the bowls and blinked. "Not that much, Mary. Give me a little less than half that."

"Fine," she grumbled cheerfully.


((:D))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She laughed. "Oh, no. I don't tend t' eat much."

She chewed at her lip a bit, finished her water.

[random_xtras]

A bowl containing a sane amount of chocolaty goodness intermixed with marshmallows was set in front of her, and then Mary plunked down once more in her own chair.

"How are you feeling?" Cassie looked at Victor as she too resumed her place and addressed her dessert.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She laughed, put a bit in her spoon and..."This rocks. 'S been a while since I've had icecream."

"'M feelin' a lot better. Most of it, now, 's just jumpiness an' stuff. Thank y'."

[random_xtras]

"No problem." Cassie's smile was warm. It twisted wryly as she turned to look at Mary, who was bopping around in her chair, clearly with extra energy to burn, as she ate the marshmallows out of her ice cream.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

((I'm sorry this took so long. Summerschool, and notifs are bizarre, and illness. I just lost track.))

Small giggle at Mary, and she tipped her head down a moment. Blush. She ate slowly, carefully, and it soothed her throat and her nerves.

[random_xtras]

((Don't get me started on them alerts... *hug*))


Cassie let her be, thinking that she needed a little quiet time after being hit with so many new things at once.

Then her eyes went to the living room windows as something huge lit on the terrace railing and folded draconian wings.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

((*hug*))

She jumped at the sound, yelped and rubbed her eyes. "Friend of yours. Yes?" Her voice was terse, strained. "Nothin' scary?"

[random_xtras]

"He's a friend." Cassie smiled and went to get a plate of roast and a potato she hadn't mashed.

"He who what... Opa!" Mary cheered, but stayed seated because she wasn't done yet.


((you know it's too hot when the Reeces cup on your desk... melts))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

((...yes. Omg, yes. Houston, Texas, for the win.))

She relaxed a bit, picked at her icecream. "'Kay." Sigh. "Good." Girl was on edge.

[random_xtras]

"Nothing here will hurt you," said Mary, looking at her earnestly. "Unless you're, like, special and wipe out and bang your head or something."

Cassie went to the terrace door and threw it open, then glanced at Victor and thought it would be better for her to go out rather than having the friend out there come inside.


((I'm only in Edmonton, Alberta! And it STILL melted))
