Carrying a couple shopping bags, Will knocked at the door to the McManus-Weavers again.

Posted: **Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:35 pm**

Nailah opens the door.

"Ah, Will, come on in."

Posted: **Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:44 pm**

"Nailah!" Will smiled. "Is it too stereotypical to think that you would be a fan of fish?"

Posted: **Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:50 pm**

"Yes, but I do enjoy fish so I shall forgive you." she smirks.

Posted: **Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:52 pm**

"See? Stereotypes work!" Will laughed, putting his bags on the counter...and then pausing and looking around. "Miranda isn't here, is she?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:09 am**

"No. She is 'hanging out' with Kay."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:16 am**

"Yes, mm, the 'hanging out'. Very important," Will nodded, mock-solomnly.

"Well, if there's no one here but us pagans..." Will said, as he slipped out of his shirt, shifting into his feathery-Morrigany-outfit. "Much better."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:18 am**

"Sam should be here any minute." she says, helping him unpack some of the bags and in the process of doing so picks up the crimson red envelope and invitation from the kitchen table to unceremoniously pin them to the fridge.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:30 am**

"No need to rush on my account! I still need to check out your drains, remember?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:40 am**

"Don't let me stop you." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:46 am**

"I'll get to it in a minute," Will said, dumping his old shirt into their laundry basket. "Not while I'm handling food, I think you'll agree."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:55 am**

"I'd prefer if you didn't." she agrees.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:57 am**

"Oh! That reminds me, though," Will said, reaching into his bag, and pulling out some fancy combs. "Tah-dah! I think I can help you with some of that loose-hair-clog problem."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:18 pm**

"If you got those from a pet shop I don't want to know." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:26 pm**

"Then I won't tell you," Will teased. "Seriously, though. I've been studying them, and I think this might well help," Will said, one hand shifting into a replica of the combs.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:32 pm**

"Rigorous research, I see."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:25 pm**

"Hey, I'm here to help, aren't I? Wouldn't be good if I half-assed this."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:02 pm**

"Of course." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:12 pm**

"Besides, Sam might Smite me or something if I didn't give you appropriate treatment," he nodded.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:50 pm**

"Don't anger the Morrigan or she'll send ravens to croak you out of bed at the worst times." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:52 pm**

"Or re-wire my brain to have it so I only speak in dirty limericks. That wouldn't be good at team meetings."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 6:06 pm**

"You'd have everyone's attention though."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 6:29 pm**

"Only if our meeting was in Nantucket," Will smiled, pulling out the fish, shifting a hand into a knife, and rapidly filleting it.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:01 pm**

"Don't abuse Quinjet privileges just for making a bad jokes."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:11 pm**

"I still haven't learned to fly that thing. I don't think I will."

Will pricked his finger, and, instead of a blood, a few drops of olive oil fell out into the pan. Will mumbled something under his breath, then started it up.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:20 pm**

"Hope you washed your hands." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:23 pm**

"Of course!" Will laughed. "C'mon, do you think I'm trying to poison you?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:05 pm**

"Would I really let you prepare our food if I did?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:11 pm**

"Nah, you'd probably rip my guts out and string them over the balcony as a warning to others.

At least, that's what the kids in your XI class told me."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:24 pm**

"Good motivation is important in the classroom." she smirks.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:26 pm**

"Well, if you ever need a visual aid, you have my number," Will laughed.

After a moment, he continued. "Do you think this is working? I mean, the olive oil thing. It's hard to tell what the Morrigan wants and what Sam is comfortable with, sometimes."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:35 pm**

"Maybe for Halloween. And it'll be fine."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:42 pm**

"I know. I'm just new at this," he smiled, abashedly. "And the old book didn't involve so much blood or murder.

...Well, not in the New Testament, anyway."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:01 pm**

"Then maybe it's time to write a new book for a more civilized time for the Morrigan as well."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:14 pm**

"I dunno, it's definitely more exciting in her version," Will nodded.

"I just don't think she'd react well to me roasting my own entrails over a fire or something like that, regardless of how well I'd survive the experience!"

As the fish began to cook, Will busied himself sweeping up around the dining area.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:26 pm**

"Let's try to avoid any actual displays of gore, yes."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:30 pm**

"See? War goddess not a fan of it. Very confusing," Will nodded.

"But this is nice. This is tangible. Tangible work for tangible rewards."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:58 pm**

"I think you're still taking this a tad too literal sometimes, but part of Sam would probably enjoy the gore. And that is what makes her uncomfortable."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:02 pm**

"So, we find safe, Sam-Friendly alternatives.

Like how I totally cut that fish into a billion pieces, I mean, sha-zow. I have killed the fish and brought it back as spoils of war!

...As a cat, I'm sure you know all about that."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:05 pm**

"Believe it or not, I don't leave our shopping bags on the doormat for her to find."
