MHA Lobby, Thursday

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

It was still fucking snowing. Even after spending what felt like a fucking eternity in Wisconsin, Loki didn't think he'd seen this much snow come down in such a short time period.

And the power was still fucking out.

The fireplace that had appeared yesterday had helped some, giving both light and warmth to the lobby. He'd let it burn for as long as he could before putting it out and going to bed. The fire was lit again this morning but Loki wasn't in front of it.

There were a few candles lit, providing more light and showing that Loki wasn't inside MHA at the present moment.

No, instead, he was being fucking responsible and outside, shoveling the path from the front door to the streets. Thank fuck the cold didn't bother him that much but he was still bundled up and still feeling the sting of the snow on his cheeks and hands.

He really needed to buy gloves. His hands felt like fucking blocks of ice.

Eventually, he managed to get the fucking walk clear enough that he thought people would manage to come and go (if they really needed to) and came back inside to immediately stick his hands in front of the fire.

"Fucking snow," he muttered. "Goddamn."

[open, of course. no ocd! that fireplace just had to get some use!]

Bundled in layers of hide, Ronon drug a chair over to the fireplace and made himself comfortable. "When you fixing the lights?"

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"It's a power outage," Loki said, shooting a glare at Ronon. "I can't fix them. It's out island wide. Probably because of the fucking snow."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"No magic kids fixing things so it's warm?" Really, this surprised Ronon, the way his students like flaunting their gifts.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't look like it," he said dryly. "I think, if they could, they would have done it already. Big guy like you's cold, huh?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Startin' to get there," Ronon shrugged. "I like this fire, though. Gonna roast somethin' for dinner?"

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Wasn't planning on it but that's not a bad fucking idea," he said, trying to recall if he had anything worth cooking. "I'm not much of a cook, though. Think the pizza shop's still delivering?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Bet they'll bring you a frozen pie," Ronon grinned. "More fun to track one of them deer I heard about."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"You think the deer are stupid enough to be prancing around in this?" Loki asked, shaking his head.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Didn't stop you from prancing around with the shovel." Ronon pointed out.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"I was being a good landlord," Loki said, shooting another glare at Ronon. "And I didn't want anyone to fucking sue me because they busted their ass out on the walk. Landlording doesn't pay that much."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"You gonna come fix my lamp, Mr. Landlord?" Ronon teased.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Fuck you," Loki said as affectionately as he could. "I'll buy you a new one or something. It won't work until the fucking power comes back on, though. Waste of a fucking lamp till then."

Ronon stretched with a smile, liking the heat of the fire. "You're not the one in the basement. Think I'll stay up here tonight."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I bet it's really fucking cold down there," Loki said. "I can give you some extra blankets if you really need them."

He wouldn't part with those blankets unless he really had to, after all.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Nah, I'll just drag all my stuff up here and cop a squat in front of the fire." Yes. All his stuff.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"If you do that, you're responsible for making sure the fire doesn't burn out of fucking control during the night," Loki said. "I don't wanna make up to a charred lobby and find your hair all over the place."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Place could use some redecorating," Ronon decided, poking at the chair he was sitting in. "Somethin' squishier."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Chairs came with the building," Loki said. "Didn't know you had such a keen eye for interior design, Sally."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Sally? That your sister?" Maybe she was hot. "She hot?"

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"I'm an only child," he said dryly. "That was meant as an insult. As in Sally who is a girl who likes interior design."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"What? Comfort's a bad thing now?" Ronon asked. This is what he got for hanging with Sheppard and Lorne.

No way she was walking from the office to MHA. Loki would have to settle for his phone ringing.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"I'm teasing you," Loki spelled out for him. "You know, ha ha, fuck you, Loki?"

Maybe Ronon was slow.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

And the phone was answered.

"Snow central, home of the most fucking snow I have ever seen in my life."

That was his greeting today.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Ronon smiled, "Funnier my way. 'Specially if you had a hot sister."
