The Park - Monday after period 4

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Bundled up, Annette took a brisk walk around the park before she chose to sit on a bench near the lake. Almost immediately did the ducks waddle over to her thinking she had food. Annette didn't have food, but she did have a bag of red hot candies. Grinning a little to herself she said, "I don't think you're going to like these...their hot. And they'll stain your beaks red." But she opened the bag anyway and tossed a few to them, surprised when they actually ate them. "I'm warning you - better stop eating them." But she tossed even more. "I'm telling you - your tongue is going to start burning and it might even flop out of your mouth and just hang there like a hot thing on fire." She tossed a few more and then popped a few in her mouth. "Good though, eh?"

She also might be tempted to ping some off the back of someone's head did they happen to walk by. You know, just for the sake of self-amusement.

Henry was on his way to find a tailor who could make a new tailcoat for him. He'd been thinking about just getting his other one fixed, but he knew that Edward would just rip it up again.
Stupid superhero outfit...

Annette saw him and absolutely knew for certain that she shouldn't toss a red hot at him. Knew it.

But that didn't keep her from reaching into her candy bag, taking hold of one, and popping it towards the back of his head.

Snickering, she looked completely innocent and stared back at the ducks.

Henry felt the candy hit his head, and looked around, confused. When he spotted Annette, he grinned and headed over to say hello.
"I saw your handiwork on Friday. Brilliant call with the noodles."
Sometimes, Henry and Edward were empathetic of each other. But with the situation as it stood, Edward's pain was his joy.

She blinked and maintained her innocence. "What are you talking about, Henry?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

"Oh well, I suppose it must've been someone else." Though he said that, Henry could not get rid of the confidential grin.

Annette sort of grinned back, "Yeah, whatever it was with the noodles, must have been someone else. Red hot?" She held her open bag of candy towards him.

"Thanks very much." Henry took one, and popped it in his mouth. He noticed a couple candies laying on the ground, as well as a few ducks. They seemed forlorn.
"Were you feeding these to the ducks?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome, Henry." She grinned and popped a couple in her mouth too.

When he noticed the ducks, she looked over at them and raised her brows. "Uh. They wanted some candy today."

"Well, I suppose it isn't too different from feeding them bread." Maybe.
Henry watched the ducks. "After I learned that the squirrels take notes for the radio, I've had the strangest paranoia about any of the island's creatures." He smiled self-depreciatingly. "I know it sounds odd, but if the squirrels run the radio, I can't help but wonder what the other animals do."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She chuckled. "It doesn't sound odd at all. What is odd is that we talk back to them. Well, at least I do. Everytime I see an animal I try talking to it, thinking it is going to talk back. Cause the squirrels you know." Like that explained the reasoning behind her words.

"Did you know there was an anteater in one of the common rooms the other day?" She nodded. "Sat on my lap and everything."

"Really?" He turned his gaze away from the ducks. "Did it belong to someone in the dormatory?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Oh. Uh. Annette knew, but she couldn't say anything. She had made a promise.

"I don't know, really. It was there and then it was just gone, so maybe, yeah. Must be a pet to someone. Sure was a cute little thing."
