Oh, boy. They've started that up again, have they? (She knocks her head companionably against Lup's. Remind her to send the both of them a text later.)

You know, that's something I really don't miss about the cycles; I can't believe you brought edibles, though. (It's been a hot minute since the pair of them have been high together.)

Yep. I mean, it makes them both a little happier but it's reaching new levels of gross.

[Eyeroll.]

...and fuck yeah I did! I made amazing brownies, and the weed is superb. Maggie and I got wasted the other day, and then Taako joined in.

My condolences to both you and your household.

(She sniggers, glancing at the very innocent looking tray beside Lup.) And now you've come to spread the cheer, huh? That's good of you.

RIP the Taaco peace.

[What peace????]

I couldn't leave my favorite girl out, now could I?

What peace?

(She grins, and nudges Lup with her shoulder.) I appreciate it. Here, we should probably get off the floor– (she places her charcoal on the easel, wiping her hands on her jeans. Her palms leave black smudges on the denim, but she doesn't seem to care.)

Ugh I know, right?

[She moves so that Lucretia can get up and move her art supplies, fondly watching her get herself all dirty in the process.

That was so Lucretia, despite the change in age and memory.]

How the daaaaaating going? Did you ask her out yet?

It's going welllllll, (she replies, mimicking Lup's sing-song and grinning.)

Yeah, I asked her out. We're sort of a thing now, I guess? We're taking it slow.

(Still, it's been so nice.)

OH SHIT!

[She beams at that, throwing herself over Lucretia in a big hug.]

I'm so happy for you! You gotta introduce me now!

Thanks!

(She stumbles a little, laughing as she tightens her arms automatically around Lup's waist. She's missed this carefree and happy feeling that Lup brings with her into every room she enters.)

I will! She hasn't met Magnus either; we could all get lunch sometime.

[Lup grins, squeezing Lucretia a little tighter before letting go and making a beeline for the couch, draping herself over it with a content sigh.]

We totally should! I'm dying to meet her and hang out more with you.

[As if on que, she floats over the tray with mage hand.]

They're pretty strong, but the frosted ones are normal brownies in case you wanna alternate.

That can be easily arranged.

(She joins Lup on the couch, eyeing the brownies curiously.)

I'll probably just start with the one, then– (and she plucks a corner piece out, sans frosting.)

[Lup grabs a middle piece with a content sigh and takes a bite. It's fucking heaven of chocolate, and she almost moans.]

Fuck, I should sell tickets for people to just smell these babies.

[She nods at Lucretia - taking it slow was always a good idea, unless you wanted to be crawling on the wall the next hour.]

What else is up with you, chica?

Not much. Work, stressing about your brother, having more nightmares than usual... standard fare.

(She takes a bite and sighs, tipping her head back against the couch. Edibles or not, these brownies are fucking fantastic.)

Good god damn, Lup.

He's not giving you shit, is he?

[More than usual, that is... but hey, everything could be made better by her godlike brownies.]

I know, right? The chocolate is like, almost as good as getting off. The quality you can get here is just bonkers.

No, no. He's been good.

(Just stress about, like, his entire life and how she ruined it that's all. Lucretia waves her hand in the air like she can swat the whole subject away; she doesn't want to think about it right now. She just wants to eat brownies and be high as fuck.

She chuckles, chewing.) Almost. But seriously, they're fantastic. Kudos, Lup.

[Lup gets the point and drops it, instead happily bragging about her brownies.]

If there's anything I outdo Taako in, it's these babies. Could make a grown man cry. In face, Magnus has on several occasions.

[She leans back a bit.]

He might have been high, though. He always happy cries when he is.

Oh, agreed. But don't ever tell him I said so, he doesn't need more ammunition.

(She pops the last bit of brownie into her mouth, licks her fingers, and snuggles back into the couch with a content sigh.)

That's right, he does... (sweet, sweet Magnus.) If I can be honest for a sec, Lup, I've really missed all of this. (Good weed, good friends. That kinda shit.)

Psh, as if he doesn't know already.

[She laughs and brushes her hair back so she can lean to the sofa with her head, squishing her cheek a bit on the pillow while she looks at Lucretia.]

Yeah... me too. It's weird to not be all together, getting fucked up and being sappy assholes.

I know. We used to do this all the time!

(All the cycles they had argued with Davenport to be allowed a night or two off during a particularly stressful week so they could all huddle up and hot box somebody's room together. The bliss of relaxing amongst friends; friends who became best friends, then family, then something different altogether. Bonds so tight Lucretia couldn't find the words to describe them, not even for her journals. She misses that closeness with a horrible, cloying ache in her chest.)

We're gonna do it again. Drag everyone together, and the friends we've made here and just get absolutely baked. Taako and I will make a load of muchies and we can watch some movies.

[Lup is grinning, putting the last pieces of her piece in her mouth.]

Our living room still smells like weed, though. Should have picked Taako's room.

[Or the empty one. Lucretia's.]

That sounds like fun. I– hmm, I'd offer to bring Beverly, but she's a doctor so she might disagree with everything on principle.

(She lets her head tip back against the couch again, closing her eyes. If this brownie could hit, like, soon, that'd be just dandy.)

Use my old room– designated smoke house. Has Magnus moved in there yet? He was being weird about it the other day.

Edited 2017-10-05 04:31 (UTC)

Eugh, why do you guys try out the lawful types? First Taako gives me a fucking heart attack with dating a cop and now you? I'm so insulted.

[She says while smiling. Lup is more than happy for Lucretia, honestly.]

I...uh... haven't a clue, honestly. I mean, I see him at breakfast all the time but I haven't checked if his stuff is there. He sometimes sleeps in Taako's bed and I try to get in there and draw on him.

[Shrug.]

They're happy, I think? I just hope they remember their old shit year so they don't fuck something up between them again. I swear I will choke them both in that case.

To be fair I think it's more in my wheelhouse to date a lawful type. Authority turns me on.

(is she joking it's so hard to tell)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I... (She just remembers talking to Magnus about this during the cycles almost like it was yesterday.) I'm going to talk to him about it. Magnus I mean. Taako too, actually, if I can get the stones to try to tell him what to do with his life.

Ew.

[They're getting turnt, who the fuck even knows.]

Mm, that sounds like a good idea. This family has enough drama without adding that to the mix.

[She just wants them to be happy, but happy is damn complicated with them.]

You asked.

(But now she's laughing, stretching her legs out in front of her.)

No kidding. Are we ever gonna get off of this bullshit, Lup.
