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.

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

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

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

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

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.

"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.

"Why's that?" he asks, making room. "I'm just laughing."

[can_be_more]

"Encouraging it," she points out.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Was not," he says. "I was just laughing because it was funny. You versus the toaster is funny."

[can_be_more]

"The toaster got out somehow," she says, and Vladdie's back to licking her hand.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"The toaster is resourceful."

[can_be_more]

"Of course it is."

Bertram takes a picture of Aeryn.

[can_be_more]

"I'm remembering this the next time John trips over something and breaks a bone," she says.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" John glares at the both of them. "What's Bertram's picture taking abilities got to do with me?"

[can_be_more]

"There are other things to do around here," she says. "Cleaning, perhaps."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You can clean," John tells her. "I know where everything is like this."

[can_be_more]

"And you sprain things."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"And I recover," he retorts.
