The cold was mostly gone, but Beauty was still feeling a little on the tired side, especially after spending the whole day out with Greatheart the day before. So although she had a book open on the counter in front of her, she was mostly leaning with her chin on her hand, staring at a spot on the floor where the light came in the window.

Beauty

Wake her up from her daze and she'll help you.

Annette wandered in because she hasn't seen Beauty for a while and she just... wanted to see her, okay?

Smiling, she made her way to the counter with two grande white chocolate mochas. "Hey you."

Re: Beauty

Beauty blinked a couple of times as she was startled out of her daydream, and then smiled at Annette. She realized it had been a long while since they'd talked, and she felt suddenly like a really bad friend.

"Hi Annette. Is that coffee?"

Re: Beauty

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yes it is; white chocolate mocha to be exact. It's my favorite so I hope you like it," she said, handing over a cup.

Tilting her head, she studied Beauty quietly. "You've been good lately?"

Re: Beauty

"I love coffee, but I don't think I've ever had any with chocolate in it." Beauty reached for the cup, however, so she plainly wasn't about to refuse it just because it was new.

With a little smile, she shrugged one shoulder. "Had a bad cold over the weekend and spent it mostly sleeping. I had to cancel my date with A.J., but he was an angel and brought me soup. How have you been?"

Re: Beauty

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Aw, that was sweet of him. He told me about your plans for Fast Eddie's. Hopefully you two can make it up sometime soon." Annette took a sip of her own coffee. "I've been good; classes and studying keep me busy. But... yeah, been okay."

Re: Beauty

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"I really hope so. I was looking forward to it," Beauty replied, smiling ruefully. She really owed A.J. for how understanding he'd been over the past several days.

"Were you caught in that whole thing where people weren't themselves a couple weeks ago?"

Re: Beauty

"Bowling is fun though I've only done it once," Annette grinned. "My ball went in the gutter every single time."

"Oh yes. I became a country singer wearing fluffy skirts and all. What about you? Did you change?"

Re: Beauty

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"I did a little lawn bowling when I was a child, but I have this idea that isn't the same thing, exactly."

Beauty cocked her head curiously at Annette, assuming that a 'country singer' meant something like a gypsy performer, and that sounded pretty neat. "No, I hid in my room. I'm a coward."

Re: Beauty

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Lawn bowling? You mean like croquet?" hopes I spelled that right.

"Well, I was in my room but I woke up a country singer with Dick who was a... pink robot man thing."

Re: Beauty

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"Oh no, croquet is played with a mallet. Lawn bowling is just...you have several balls, and one of them is white, and you roll the balls toward the white one, or something like that. It's been a long while since I've played."

Beauty frowned a little. "What's a 'robot man thing'?"

Re: Beauty

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"I've never played that before," Annette replied, intrigued.

"Half robot, half man? He wore this armor and I couldn't see his face." and forget that I said pink *facepalm*

And, of course, once he'd gotten a chance to take a break that afternoon, A.J. drifted in bringing another gift, this time in a colder drink format as per his usual idiom.

"Hey, you," he greeted Beauty with a small smile when he got to the counter. "Feeling better?"

Re: Beauty

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Beauty's face lit up when A.J. walked in, and she hopped down off her stool and came around the counter to wrap her arms around him in a hug.

"Much better, yes," she answered softly.

Re: Beauty

[by137.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey. A hug. Grinning slightly stupidly, A.J. wondered if he was wrong in thinking he should have expected that and went to hug her back, adding a small press of a kiss against her forehead. "Good."

Re: Beauty

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Beauty sighed a little at the kiss on her forehead, and looked up to smile at A.J. "Thanks to you, looking after me," she said quietly.

Re: Beauty

[by137.livejournal.com]

"I know," A.J. said, smirking back, "I was worried. That whole soup thing could have gone two completely different ways. We lucked out and it went the good way."

Re: Beauty

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry about our date," Beauty replied, a worried little line appearing between her brows. "We don't seem to be having very good luck lately."

Re: Beauty

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Hey, don't worry about it," A.J. assured her with a little squeeze. "It's not like we can't just do it some other time, you know? Not like I keep a real busy schedule or anything. You were sick; you needed to rest, so you did. That's what counts. And you're better now, so it all good."

Re: Beauty

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"Sometime soon?" Beauty asked, settling her arms comfortably around A.J.'s shoulders and hoping he wasn't thinking of going anyplace right away.

Re: Beauty

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Well," A.J. ducked his head so that his forehead rested against Beauty's while he looked at her, "how soon were you thinking?"

Re: Beauty

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"This weekend maybe?" Beauty smiled as the tips of their noses touched. "If you don't already have plans."

Re: Beauty

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Hmmmm," A.J. eyes drifted away for a second as though he was thinking, but when he looked back, he lightly shook his head. "Don't think so. Friday? Saturday?"

It's marginally less lively than Beauty, but more moddable.

I need a nap already.
