Back to Work

[colony_brat]

Alright, looks like it's time I get Azzip back up and open. Problem is, it needs a bit of cleanin' and I'm goin' ta need help with firewood and shoppin'. So, besides a certain fairy waiter, who wants ta help me? I'd offer ta pay you in food, but since it's free, seems kinda stupid. So, guess I could have a private party for those willin' ta help.

Hm... [thinks very hard...] I can't think of anything.

[colony_brat]

Geez, I thought I was jokin' when I said nothin' happens around here without me. How boring.

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

[giggles as he wipes the tops of the windows] But nothing really happened! Really!

[colony_brat]

Wow, maybe I wasn't jokin' when I said nothin' happens here without me. [Duo moves on from window to window, wiping what he can easily reach and not moving very fast.]

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

[giggles] Seems like it! [and his little cloth is all dirty now] What do I do with this? And are you alright? You're walking funny.

[colony_brat]

[holds up his hand with a new little rag in it] Trade ya.

I got kidnapped. The Malnosso worked me over pretty good. Still tired and weak from it.

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

[trades] Thanks!]

... then shouldn't you be resting more?

[colony_brat]

Probably, but I'd rather be out and doin' stuff. I'm still takin' it easy, but I wanna get my strength back. That means a lotta food, some rest, and some work.

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

I see... [is going to be keeping a close eye on you, all the same]

[colony_brat]

[Duo keeps slowly and carefully cleaning the windows. He leaves some for Raenef to clean. He also keeps trading towels with Salt until they're done.]

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

[and stretches a bit before looking back at the clean windows] All clean!

[colony_brat]

[Duo's been switching back and forth so one arm won't get tired, but he looks relieved when he finally finishes his part of the windows.] Good. Now we can run over to the bakery and get somethin' ta eat. Cookies are food, right?

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

Of course~!!! [and zips out, racing for the bakery]

[colony_brat]

[laughs and follows after Salt, much slower but still hurrying] Hey! Don't eat 'em all 'fore I getta chance!

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

You'll have to catch me first!! It's all mine!

[colony_brat]

[Thankfully the bakery's just a few doors down so Duo doesn't wear himself out too much getting there. Salt's still going to beat him, but he figures the little fairy couldn't eat ALL of the cookies before he got there.]

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

[Said fairy has dived into the bowl of cookies near the door and is currently munching his way back out!]

[colony_brat]

[Duo walks in an picks a cookie off the top of the moving and crunching bowl as he laughs.]

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

[the cookie level starts dropping steadily then Salt pops his head out for breath before diving in again]

[colony_brat]

[laughs some more and nibbles on his own cake. Then he starts looking around the shop at the cakes and little things.]

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

[the bowl is now empty except for little fairy with a very round tummy lying in it]

[colony_brat]

[Duo wanders over with a cupcake in hand. He chuckles at the plump fairy and shakes his head.] Can ya even fly now?

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

Huh? [tries to sit up, fails then tries flapping his wings, no luck]

[colony_brat]

[laughs a little more and leans against the counter while he finishes off his cupcake and licks his fingers] Ya might as well stop 'fore ya hurt yourself. Relax for a bit. I can always carry ya back. Soft hair, remember?

[sun-trumpet.livejournal.com]

[gives up trying to move and just lies in the bowl, petting his tummy] Yeah, very soft and comfy. Perfect for naps!
