The Gig [Tuesday]

Aravis was decidedly saddened by the lack of hot chocolate pouring from taps today.

It might be obvious, given that she was wandering around trying to see if she could recreate it by trying all the water pumps and faucets.

Ben poked his head in, smiled, and held out a cup of hot cocoa from the Perk. "I thought of you yesterday when I tried to brush my teeth in this stuff."

Aravis beamed. "It was coming from the taps yesterday!" she said, hurrying over to accept the cocoa.

"It made showering very, very sticky," Ben said, "which I only remembered after working out."

"My hair got a bit...problematic," she agreed. "I still miss it, though."

[momslilassassin]

"I thought you might've," Ben said, grinning. "Maybe it'll come back in a slightly more manageable way?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"I hope so," she said excitedly.

[momslilassassin]

"Like in cups from the Perk," he teased.

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Well, I wont argue that this is wonderful. Thank you," she said sincerely.

[momslilassassin]

Ben smiled back, looking a little shy. "You're welcome. I brought a carrot for Kally, too. I didn't think she'd like hot cocoa."

"I don't think horses are supposed to have it, no," she agreed with a laugh. "Did you want to meet the other horses, as well?"

[momslilassassin]

"They won't be jealous that I only brought Kally a carrot?" he checked.

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"I may be able to find some carrots or apples for them as well," she assured him.

[momslilassassin]

Ben grinned at her. "I'd appreciate that. I don't want to look like I'm playing favorites."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Well, you can't help but," she pointed out. "You don't know the others yet."

[momslilassassin]

"I'll certainly try to explain that to them," Ben said. "I don't want to start out on the wrong foot." He frowned. "Hoof?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Either one," she laughed, snagging her cloak and leading the way to the stables.

[momslilassassin]

Ben snugged a little more closely into his own cloak as he followed along behind her. "How was your week?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate aside, it was uneventful," she admitted. "Yours?"

[momslilassassin]

"I almost got shot in War class," Ben said, "because I was being an idiot. Teacher yelled at me but good. It was almost like being home."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Almost got shot?" she repeated.

[momslilassassin]

"Danger Room," he said, waving it off. "I overestimated how good I was."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"With a gun, or arrows?" she clarified.

[momslilassassin]

"Laser-based gun," Ben said.

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, lasers are terrifying," she said, nodding. She was just pleased to know what that meant.

[momslilassassin]

"When did you see lasers?" Ben asked.
