A mad tea party ((Open RP, River and A hand out food))

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

Cooking magazines had become something of a hobby to River of late. A had mentioned not too long ago handing out a meal again in the Great Hall, and one of the magazines she'd purloined from the old stacks in the library had yielded a recipe for 'cucumber sandwiches' and entertaining to plan around the eating of said snacks. Since the sandwiches were rather easy to eat, and there were plenty cucumbers available for the using, she noted A to join her in the kitchen.

There, they made scores of cucumber sandwiches with butter, vegetable, and cheese spreads, all to be served with iced mint tea. A sign at the entrance to the Great Hall invited everyone to partake, with the exception of troublemakers and ne'er-do-wells.

"It was simple, mostly cutting up," he commented. "But very companionable. It was a good thing to make together without getting messy. Although," he grinned slyly, "Getting messy with you is fun, too."

"I bet you do," she giggled a little, nudging him with an elbow. Finishing with the tea, she leaned back against the table. "I thought maybe sometime we could go see the Mother Tree again," she said, smiling a little shyly. "I like her, and I think she likes us."

"Oh," A said softly, the idea making his grin soften into a smile. "Yes, yes, we should. Perhaps with a picnic. Not a cats-picnic, although we should have a cats-picnic soon, or a smoking and silly picnic, but a sort of respectful picnic. There is such a thing, isn't there?" He looked a bit concerned, as if he'd suggested something improper.

"I think there is, but we could ask Kurama or Kusuriyuri what would be appropriate." The fox would probably know better, but she still preferred to go to Kusuriyuri. she still had a little warming up to do towards the bad Fox. "A cat-picnic soon would be fun too, though. Branch and Bloom are getting so big now, I bet Schro and Ein will be surprised."

"And it is good weather for a cat-picnic! Perhaps we can invite Kurama and Kusuriyuri to that one, so Boukensha and Belophoebe can come as well." He wasn't quite warmed up enough toward Mikami to suggest he come with Masuyo, and he doubted anyone else would welcome the idea. "And Wishbone can come. Perhaps he would like to become a cat, and enjoy catnip with the others."

"It'll be a cat-holiday," River nodded, quite well on board with this plan. "I think we all deserve one, don't you?"

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

"Relaxing-time for all of us," he said, and kissed her cheek. "It will be fun to watch all the cats play together."

She smiled and returned the kiss, substituting his cheek for his nose. "It is quite well-deserved. We've all had a very productive summer." she grinned a little, nudging him with a shoulder. "Lots of progress, and things."

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

"Progress." He took her hand, and smiled. "Yes. I like making porgress with you." A's expression was perhaps somewhat lascivious, but in an affectionate way. "And cooking and gardening progress, too."

Her grin widened, and she leaned closer to whisper in his ear. "You keep undressing me with your eyes like that," she said, "and we'll both be in trouble."

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

He flushed, and whispered back, "Maybe we should undress a little later. But you're right, we have food to hand out, and that is not a naked thing."

As far as A knew. He didn't like the idea of handing out food naked. Nudity was not something he liked to share freely.
