Room 238, Sunday afternoon

[can_be_more]

Aeryn is just about to step out of the shower when she hears a now-familiar little bark. At eye level. Her first reaction is to hide mostly behind the shower curtain. "No playing now," she says. "Let me get dressed first."

Vladdie barks again and tries to lick her nose.

"Yes, thank you," Aeryn tells him. "Out of the bathroom. Then we'll play."

Vladdie licks her chin this time.

Aeryn sighs.

Aeryn looks down at Bertram. "Stop it."

She looks back at John. "I'm saying that I am in a shower, while several others are here with me and I'm getting absolutely no help, and that leads to me being upset."

"They like you," John tells her. "They just wanna be friends with you."

"They can be friends with me when I'm dressed," she says. And it's probably bad that the only reason she's not getting snappy is because she's not wanting to traumatize Rory's puppy.

John finally comes into the bathroom and scoops Bertram up. Bertram manages to take one more picture before John turns him away.

"C'mon, Vladdie. Out we go!"

[can_be_more]

"Close the door!" she reminds him, because she's not getting out until then.

After letting Vladdie fly out, John closes the door. He sets Bertram down and, just to be funny, takes Toasty out of the freezer.

He sets Toasty in front of the bathroom door.

Aeryn finally steps out of the shower and starts getting dressed. And look, a whole minute of peace!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Toasty is just waiting...

[can_be_more]

Aeryn opens the door, and not looking down, accidentally kicks the toaster.

Toasty kinda skids away from the door.

Watch it, you git!
And don't move to fast or your pants might split!

[can_be_more]

"John, you are in so much trouble," she says, and kicks the toaster on purpose this time.

John's too busy laughing on the bed, Vladdie's barking at him, and Bertram is skittering around at Aeryn's feet again.

Thought you could knock me out via deep freeze?
My oh my those pants are a tight squeeze!

[can_be_more]

Aeryn glares at John, and picks the toaster up. "And it's back to the freezer for you."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Eat me!
Oh wait, don't. You might eat me like a piece of brie!

[can_be_more]

"...I don't know what that is, and I don't eat metal anyway."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

You pants will never be baggy!
And, oh yeah, your chest is saggy!

[can_be_more]

Aeryn looks over at John. "I hope you're enjoying this."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John's too busy laughing to respond.

Hey, toots, look it me!
Your nose looks like a flea!

[can_be_more]

"That doesn't even make any sense," she says, opening the freezer door.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

You have big lips!
And even bigger hips!

[can_be_more]

Aeryn puts it in the back of the freezer, and closes the door.

Vladdie and Bertram both rush her, Vladdie by flight and Bertram by floor.

[can_be_more]

"That's better," Aeryn says, picking Vladdie up from the air and attempting to step over Bertram rather than step on him.

John is still laughing from his spot on the bed.

"See, this is why everything is still a very very long time in the future," she tells him, coming over anyway.
