Keep Meg & Amy From Cooking Party

[kitchen_maid]

There are streamers over the door and glitter is flung generously (if randomly) about over countertops. (To be on the safe side, the girls have used edible glitter, like that on the cookies they handed out as invitations.)

There are large signs posted above the stoves and ovens with picture of Meg and Amy and the words "NOT ALLOWED" in large and bright red letters below them.

It can only mean one thing.

There's a party in the kitchen, and someone has got to keep these girls from cooking.

Mordred opens the door, and then leans against the doorframe.

Eyeing both of them.

At the same time.

...it takes years of practice eyeing younger knights. Also people who might attack you. Anyway, he does it.

"...you two are crazy."

"Only nine thirteenths, in my case," says Amy cheerfully. "I'm not sure about Meg. Hello, Mordred. Apron?"

The arpon she holds out to him is bright pink and covered in little grey bunnies.

"No."

"Are you sure?" she asks, brightly.

It's a very pretty apron, really.

"I do have some traces of pride left, milady Amy." Even if I have been letting toddlers crawl over me as a fox.

Amy shrugs and replaces the apron on the pile.

"Well, it's lovely to see you, again, Mordred. How have you been?"

"Good, actually. My not'sons are in the bar - twin boys, turned two the other day."

Mordred?

Adores them.

Amy actually followed that, which says something about how long she's been in Milliways.

"Oh, Cywyllog brought her boys? How delightful. I shall have to look for them."

Re: Greet Amy

"They're gorgeous."

Re: Greet Amy

[kitchen_maid]

"Of that I've no doubt."

Re: Greet Amy

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Yes. So." He shakes his head, a little.

"So. Explain to me why you are doing this?"

Re: Greet Amy

[kitchen_maid]

"Well, to keep us from cooking, of course. We're rather hopeless at it, I'm afraid. And we will keep trying."

Amy smiles very brightly.

"...bet you my cooking is worse."

Re: Greet Amy

[kitchen_maid]

Amy considers this.

"Possibly. It's not something princes tend to learn, is it? But you could try, if you like."

"I'm a soldier first. You really want me to? I was more thinking I could provide the dry, dispassionate yet witty commentary."

Re: Greet Amy

[kitchen_maid]

She looks at him, and then breaks into a very bright grin.

"Honestly? I don't think I can think of a better job for you, Mordred."

Re: Greet Amy

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

Mordred?

Just grins.

Re: Greet Amy

[kitchen_maid]

"Furthermore," says Amy, "I don't think I can think of anyone better for the job."

Re: Greet Amy

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"So, I get to be annoying-yet-charmingily witty with your approval?"

Re: Greet Amy

[kitchen_maid]

"I suspect you can be annoying-yet-charmingly witty with or without my approval, but, of course you have it. I think it's just what we need."

Re: Greet Amy

With a flourish, he bows and kisses her hand.

"Excellent, Amy. I'll just get to it." And with that, he vanishes.

Oh, don't worry. He'll appear randomly.
