Luke's Diner [Tuesday]

Fairy or no fairy, Southern or not, no one should have to endure what weather broadcasters whimsically called a 'wintry mix,' Sookie decided. She was bundled up tight as she hurried into Luke's little flakes of ice clinging to her hair, and on impulse, she decided that soup was going to be all she served today. Good, warm, rib-sticking soup, because she was freaking cold.

Today's Specials
French Onion Soup
Provencal Vegetable Soup
Leek and Potato Soup


Luke's was open, and warmer inside than out.

Leda could handle the cold. It was the weather that couldn't make up it's damn mind that bugged her.

She paused just inside the door to brush a few ice crystals out of her hair.

"Couldn't just go back inside after reserves, no I had to decide to get fresh air."

"...and freeze in the process?" Sookie asked, arching a brow dubiously from behind the counter. "Honey, aren't the reserves outside? I'm as happy as can be to be outside, myself, but in this weather even I have limits on how much I can take."

"Yes to both apparently. I can't imagine what possessed me to go for a walk afterward. Maybe it didn't seem as miserable with people around. Or maybe it was the hot coffee."

And after she'd realized the weather wasn't really conducive to enjoying a walk it was a bit of determination that kept her from turning around.

"But hey, now I appreciate the warmth of the indoors that much more."

Sookie gave a little shiver for good measure. "I'm not a fan of the cold," she said, probably unnecessarily. "Ain't in my blood. What can I get you, honey?"

"I don't mind the cold too much. It's cold and wet that bothers me. And the Provencal Vegetable Soup sounds good. With maybe some tea."

"Sure," Sookie said, scribbling it down. "And yeah, the wet just makes it worse. Settles it into your bones, you know?"

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Plus it can make some of the clothes you're wearing less warming." Wind was bad too. She wasn't a fan of wind anyway really. "And then if it's cold enough to freeze the wet, it could even be embarrassing."

[identity profile] justwantsquiet.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
"...how so?" Sookie wondered, because she wasn't quite following that thought. Wet clothes were one thing, but frozen wet clothes weren't too embarrassing for her, usually.

"Ice is slippery and sometimes it makes you fall down." she clarified. On reflection she could see she'd made a slight jump in topic there. Elves of course rarely lost their balance. Or at least they were like cats in their grand ability to play it off.

No one, Sookie?

That's just cruel. Some people liked the cold, in all its forms.

One such person was coming through the doorway now, windbreaker and knit hat plunked on almost as an afterthought.

"Ooooh, and my favorite employee's working and everything." Bobby grinned. "Must be my lucky day."

"It should be illegal to be that cheerful after walking in from weather that miserable," she teased, shaking her head at him. "My hair nearly turned to icicles on my way in!"
longislandiceme: (smirk)

[personal profile] longislandiceme 2011-01-12 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm far too cute to be arrested," Bobby replied cheekily. "Besides, I think you'd look cute with icicle-hair."

"You would," she said, shaking her head with a tsk. "What can I get you, sweetie? A popsicle? Maybe some ice cream?"
longislandiceme: (grin)

"Mint milkshake?" he asked, sliding in to a booth. "Please."

[identity profile] justwantsquiet.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Only 'cause you said please," she decided, scribbling it down. "How's your day going, sweetie?"

"Quiet," Bobby said. "Boring. Which is actually kind of a nice change, so I won't complain unless it keeps up for the next few days."

[identity profile] justwantsquiet.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
"You know it won't last," she said, shaking her head. "But as long as whatever shakes things up is more like phone wackiness, and less like werewolves kidnapping me, I'm okay with that."

"I suppose it's a good thing I was too busy to reply to most of the weird messages I got," Bobby mused. "By the time I actually got a few minutes to sit and listen to them all it was pretty easy to figure out what'd happened." Although it meant he'd missed a great pranking opportunity, which was kind of sad-making.

"Anything from me?" she wondered. "Warren told me he's not spreading rumors about me being a lesbian. That was my weirdest."
longislandiceme: (ewwww)

[personal profile] longislandiceme 2011-01-12 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
"He was all flirty at me," Bobby shuddered. "I can guess who that message was supposed to go to."

[identity profile] justwantsquiet.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
"...hopefully Karla," Sookie said, mildly alarmed. "Who, by the way, Ben Skywalker told me is fine with him touching her, in this really hostile voice. I have no idea who that was supposed to go to."
longislandiceme: (thinking)

[personal profile] longislandiceme 2011-01-12 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I hope he meant that in a non-dirty way," Bobby mused.

[identity profile] justwantsquiet.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
"That was what I said!" Sookie exclaimed, nodding. And tempting though it was to gossip a bit about their friends, she figured he'd hear about the dirty touching and so forth from Warren, if he was going to. And it wasn't hers to tell. So instead she shared something else from that conversation with Karla. "Oh -- by the way." She glanced around for a moment, and added, "I told Karla about the whole fairy princess deal. So now you've got another person who knows what I am. I figured I should start making the rounds and breaking the news."

"...Does Hallmark make a card for that?" Bobby had to wonder. With the recent formation of X-Factor and their mission, the idea of 'coming out' as something not human was... well, even more at the forefront of his mind than usual.

[identity profile] justwantsquiet.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Not that I've seen so far," Sookie mused. "I mean, if they do, I should have several by now."
longislandiceme: (eyeroll)

[personal profile] longislandiceme 2011-01-12 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
"God knows there's a market for it," Bobby said with a snort and an eyeroll.
