Room 505: Tuesday Night

Thoroughly showered and de-veggie-gutted, Francine, wet hair draped over her shoulder, was picking at way too much take-out from the diner and eying the tray of lemon squares like she might just skip dinner entirely and go straight to dessert.

Any resemblance to the picking she was doing at events of this week in general or last night in particular was purely coincidental. In some universe.

Doubtful was putting it generously. "He said he wouldn't tease you any more than you deserve. So.... yeah, good luck with that."

Preeeetty much the case, that.

Merlin pouted as best he could, rubbing his head on her arm.
thatsamilkshake: (hi there)

"Look at it this way," she suggested. "Right now if he gives you a hard time, you can peck him on the nose." Not that she was really suggesting that. But he could.

Well, he was always welcome to try that, but the odds of success weren't the greatest.

Merlin truly wished he had eyebrows to to raise at her for that one.

"Dive-bomb his head and mess up his hair?" That one might actually be a far crueler revenge.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-11-12 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
See, that one made more sense!

...and now Merlin was bobbing his head eagerly. Oh yes. That was a plan.
thatsamilkshake: (swirly)

[personal profile] thatsamilkshake 2009-11-12 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Just don't tell him I gave you the idea." You know, with his hitherto undisplayed ability to speak. Francine glanced down, which didn't really help with breaking eye contact when the person next to you was...down. "Speaking of Tweety, I, um. Kind of told her, last night."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-11-12 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Merlin cocked his head to the side. Because there was a lot to tell people, you know.
thatsamilkshake: (nervous)

[personal profile] thatsamilkshake 2009-11-12 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
"About us." Beat. Oh, crap, what if he thinks... "I mean, Katchoo and me! Not .... all of us. I wouldn't do that."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-11-12 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooh.

Merlin bobbed his head in understanding, warbling in a way that he assumed said 'go on' and not 'I am planning to eat your soul'.

Merlin was very, very lucky that Francine's limited bird-reading ability did not choose now to crap out, or she'd be staring at him from a crack in the closet door. Though at least it would be herself that she'd put in there, not him.

"She didn't freak out." That's because she's not you, Francine. "I mean, I didn't think she would. I know her. But..." But she was pretty much conditioned to assume people would, and she'd known that a lot longer than she'd known Dinah. "I guess was still a little afraid anyway."

Merlin rubbed the top of his head against her arm soothingly. Like anyone would do that to her. He'd be busy turning people into mice if they did.
thatsamilkshake: (neutral)

[personal profile] thatsamilkshake 2009-11-12 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Francine smiled. "You're a good listener," she said. "Even when you don't have any ears."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-11-12 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
He had ears in spirit. Massive ones at that.

He warbled again to that effect. Because clearly he needed to.
thatsamilkshake: (sly)

[personal profile] thatsamilkshake 2009-11-12 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Francine didn't entirely get that, but she studied his birdy face anyway. "Your regular ears are bigger than your head is now," she said with a grin.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-11-12 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Merlin gave an affronted squawk, ruffling his feathers. They weren't THAT big.
thatsamilkshake: (giggle)

[personal profile] thatsamilkshake 2009-11-12 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
"You're a bird! You have a little head!"

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-11-12 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh sure, bring up that kind of logic will you.

Merlin hissed and stayed fluffed up for about five seconds before snagging another bit of the burger.
thatsamilkshake: (smiley)

[personal profile] thatsamilkshake 2009-11-12 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Francine grinned. "Bacon and sausage and steak for breakfast tomorrow."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-11-12 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
...okay, that won his love back in the form of chirping and attempting to get as close to on her lap as he could with out... being on her lap. With the claws.
thatsamilkshake: (hi there)

[personal profile] thatsamilkshake 2009-11-12 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Which Francine appreciated. "I'll make sure Arthur shares."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-11-12 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh please. He didn't like the bacon they had here. It was always shoved onto Merlin's plate.

Merlin nodded, leaning against her again.
