All and Sundries, 5/1

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund has the top of the shop's dutch door open and the bottom part locked to keep out the wee. All and Sundries has a new policy of not admitting anyone under the age of ten without adult supervision. No, Baldrick does not count.

All and Sundries is open.

Ivanova is sporting a scowl and a very impressive black eye as she more or less ignored the dutch door and simply vaulted over the locked bit, going right for the painkillers.

Edmund raised an eyebrow and wondered if he was going to need to hire someone to take care of someone.

Scowl. The really big bottle of really big pills went 'clatter' as she slammed it down on the counter.

"'Lo, Edmund."

Most definitely not bouncing today. And those red marks on her wrists? Not at all rope burns. Nope.

"Ivanova." Edmund was looking cross taking in those details. "I take it you were not wee this weekend?"

He rang up the pills and passed them to her.

"I wasn't what this weekend?" Ivanova asked, dry-swallowing a couple before cramming the bottle in her bag and pulling out her wallet, handing over the money.

[[Sorry, am having issues with teh intarwebs. My cubedwelling friends are coming to the rescue.]]

"If the radio is to be believed, most of the student population regressed to early childhood over the weekend." And the last thing the world needed was an eight year old Pippi Longstocking.

"Huh." Ivanova thought about this for a moment, her hand drifting up to touch the rings of purple and green smudging over her cheek. "Probably would have been more restful than my weekend. You weren't too thrilled, I can tell."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"I am less thrilled to see your condition." Edmund came out from behind the counter to find an ice pack. "Tell me that whomever is responsible for this is either in a great deal of pain or will be feeling nothing more ever again."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, I didn't check for survivors," Ivanova replied dryly. "I was too busy rescuing the damsel in distress."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Take this," he said, pressing the ice pack in her hands. "I'm unsurprised to hear that you were not the damsel in distress."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," she murmured as she took the ice pack and pressed it against her eye with a grateful sigh before giving him half a flat look. "Do I look like I would ever be a damsel, in distress or otherwise?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"By definition a damsel is a young woman, so yes. However," Edmund said as he returned to his place behind the counter. "as I said, I am unsurprised you were not the young woman in distress."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"I feel like I should be insulted," Ivanova replied dryly. "Or something. I'm just confusing myself at this point. Anyways, thank you for the drugs and the icepack and I shall be on my way."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Do try to let these injuries heal before you go acquire new ones. It seems that I'm seeing you as the walking wounded as often as not."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"I'll see what I can do," Ivanova laughed as she headed for the door, swinging over it easily. "Bye, Edmund."

Walter came in, jumping the dutch door easily, picked out two sets of decent quality sheets, and tried to get out of there with the least amount of interaction with Blackadder possible.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund scowled. The boy was altogether too close to a child for his preference.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Well Blackadder was entirely too close to Blackadder for Walter's preference, but you didn't see him scowling. Much.

His mind might be on his nose for some unknowable reason.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund rang up the sheets, took Walter's money, and shuffled him out of the shop without any silly pleasantries like "Thank you," or "Have a nice day."

To use those, he would have had to care.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter was fine with Blackadder not caring because it meant he was also not talking.
