Nolan Home for Wayward Refugees, 33 Apocalypse, Friday Evening

[not_in_the_book]

The menu finally planned, the guests on their way -- or already arrived, and dinner already cooking, Ronan felt prepared for dinner.

The smells -- and sounds -- coming out of his kitchen were probably enough to make his guests mouth water, but that was, really, par for the course when it came to Ronan. And no, you weren't allowed into the kitchen to help.

[Up early-ish for SP; open to all the Wayward Refugees, OCD on its way!]

"Maybe a bit. Just not particularly hard," Isabel shrugged, amused at the thought.

"That is true. But that one," she said pointing towards Ronan, "Would probably die of smugness. And we can't have that happening."

"Well, there is that. I need new worlds to conquer, though." It wasn't that she didn't like her work, it had just gotten... rather routine, lately.

"Well, that is a point," Parker had to admit. "And it'll keep you from making me wear something awful." Like that would ever happen.

Yeah, that's about what Ronan expected, really. He smiled back, reaching out to squeeze Jack's hand. "And, hey," he said, "when I say anywhere, I mean anywhere -- one of the beds, the couch, the bathtub, the floor, the roof..."

... Ronan occasionally failed at humour.

"... I'm hoping that's not literal," Ronan said, after a moment. "Or, well. At the very least, I'm hoping it's not overt. You'd probably do quite well running things behind the scene."

"Not even slightly," Parker had to admit. "They have good paramedics there, we've helped a few times with emergencies." She took another sip, and felt a flush of heat in her face. "Mmm. Interesting... but I wouldn't want a real doctor out in the middle of nowhere."

"Would I ever do that?" she asked. "I've already seen the perfect dress. And it even has a matching parasol!"

"It's a good sign you realize I'll need to be armed."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Are you planning on beating my brothers about the head?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

"If I have to. Which let's face it, I probably will," Parker said airily. "Or Angel, if he decides to get stupid at the last second. Or whoever follows the Halliwells to the ceremony."

"Forget holding my bouquet. You're my official enforcer." Because Isabel was going to have all her bases covered.

Re: Dinner: Main Course

Despite the sheer amount of food Emma had already eaten, she tucked-in with a rather un-ladylike enthusiasm. "You are going to spoil me for dorm food forever, Mr. Nolan," she said eventually, helping herself to thirds - or was it fourths?

Look, she was a growing girl with a mutant metabolism. And she couldn't eat as much as she wanted at home, not without making people suspicious or breaking her bank account.

"He says that like he's not already a delinquent," Emma sighed, helping herself to dessert. "Which we all know is not true."

Re: After Dinner

[icecoldfrost]

"How is that even a question?" Emma asked, making a 'gimmie' gesture with one hand. "I can't even remember the last time I had a drink before tonight."

Jack squeezed back gratefully. "You'd have me sleep on the roof in January after a meal like this? Ronan, I know you're a good healer, but I'm not sure you want to test it on me again so soon."

Re: After Dinner

"It would make him even more incorrigible," Jack agreed.

Jack fixed a glass for Emma and passed it over. "Poor girl. Here, this should help."
