Student Council Potluck Thanksgiving, Community Center, Thursday

Despite all the years she'd lived in Fandom, Zoe was still a little vague on some of the details of Thanksgiving. However, she did have enough information that she was fairly certain the holiday wasn't celebrated with glitter, and yet, once the community center was decorated for the potluck, there were glitter-covered paper cutouts of turkeys all over the place.

Really, she just wasn't going to question it anymore, and hopefully anyone who was still around for the holiday would be too busy enjoying the food enough to notice.

[For anyone who's still in Fandom for Thanksgiving! Up early so I don't forget when I wake up!]

"And you're putting it to such good use too."

Or something.

"So impressive, Flick."

"You probably didn't mean that but I'm still taking it as a compliment," he decided. "Because I am impressive. I really, really am."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Suuure you do that.)

"You're okay," Isabelle replied, quoting his own words backs at him. She really wouldn't go as far as impressive, though. "I guess."

"You guess?" he repeated, shaking his head. "That's probably pretty significant coming from you. I'll take it and cherish it and hold it tight to my bosom when I go to sleep at night."
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Sassy pose.)

"I'm sure it's better than having nothing to hold tight to your bosom," Isabelle quipped. "If nothing else. And so, you're welcome."

"It's one of the many things I hold tight to my bosom at night," he corrected. "It'll join my myriad of issues, burdens, worries, fears, and terrors. It'll be in good company."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Suuure you do that.)

"But my vague okaying of you is still clearly the most positive thing in that list," she pointed out, because that was the most important thing there to her. "Still better than nothing."

"Still better than nothing," Flick said, nodding. "It's more than most people have given me over the span of my life. Sad, right?"
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Move along now.)

"Very." Despite the lack of any big empathy in her voice. "You need every tiny bit of good things that came your way."
flickofthewrist: (weary memory)

"Yeah well, I don't see good things coming all that often," he admitted. "I mean, you think I'm gonna die before the year's over. That's not very pleasant to know."
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Heh okay maybe.)

"Realistic ideas about survival often aren't." Lord knows her people were no strangers to lowered odds of survival, to adulthood or othwerwise. "But I could be wrong, so cheer up," she added, with only a touch of sarcasm. "Nothing's set in stone."

"Make me."

He didn't know where that'd come from but he didn't care. He didn't meant it seriously or anything.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Just happy to be here.)

Re: Om Nom Nom Thanksgiving

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"Make you what?" Isabelle asked, amused. "Cheer up?"
flickofthewrist: (got your mothers eyes)

Re: Om Nom Nom Thanksgiving

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2013-12-01 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah."

He nodded.

"Make me cheer up."

Still not said seriously, of course, but he sounded pretty amused too.
seveninchmotto: ([spec] Talking all close.)

Re: Om Nom Nom Thanksgiving

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Isabelle feigned a thoughtful expression, as she stood up from her chair, and stepped closer to him.

"You're an attractive and intelligent enough individual who's managed to keep me from wandering off through this conversation, so there's no reason you shouldn't cheer up for at least a second."

That wasn't a serious attempt, either.
flickofthewrist: (phoenix)

And Flick knew it wasn't serious even if the words were nice. One corner of his mouth ticked up in a smirk and he shoved one hand into his pocket, watching her move.

"Nice effort," he complimented with a nod. "I'm almost cheered up. Pretty close now. I can sense happiness in my future."

He still wasn't going to be all that serious because it was a thing right now.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Utter mischief.)

Everything didn't always have to be so serious. In fact, apart from her life's purpose, Isabelle didn't take a lot of things seriously. Especially not interactions with boys.

Which was what made it so easy for her to lean in to press a kiss on his cheek. And to be a flirt.

"Just not as much as I could give you at my best."

It didn't mean anything.
flickofthewrist: (the hook)

Re: Om Nom Nom Thanksgiving

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2013-12-01 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
He stayed still while she kissed his cheek and then smirked slightly, letting a quiet laugh slip from between his lips.

"You saying you're not at your best right now?" he wondered, nodding like that made all the sense in the world. "That's such a brave thing to admit. Maybe you'll achieve your best. One day."

He smiled.

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"No," she said, pulling back again. "I'm just saying I'm not going to give you my best."
flickofthewrist: (love and some verses)

Re: Om Nom Nom Thanksgiving

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2013-12-01 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh huh." He nodded once. "Because I'm not worth your best?"
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Will not bend.)

"Well I can't be expected to give my best out to just anyone at random times," she said, shrugging her shoulders. "It has very little to do with you, specifically."
flickofthewrist: (debauched and down)

Re: Om Nom Nom Thanksgiving

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2013-12-01 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Flick mimicked her shrug before shaking his head and rubbing his poor, bleary eyes. He was tired. But, he figured he could blame some of it on the food. That was a thing, right? Tired after a huge meal?

Anyway.

Flick said, "Stand still," and returned her gesture of earlier by pressing a kiss against her cheek. "Appreciate you not running away today. Thanks."

He said it very quietly and sincerely before he stepped back and exhaled. He could drop the image for a moment and let some emotion out. Rare but doable.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Unguarded.)

And it was weird to Isabelle because she didn't see that a lot. Not from anyone but Alec, anyway. For various reasons she wasn't thinking about right now.

She looked a little more unguarded, herself, when he stepped back. That didn't mean much, either, and then it was gone. "Happy Thanksgiving," she said. "That's what they say, right?"
flickofthewrist: (pick a scab)

Re: Om Nom Nom Thanksgiving

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2013-12-01 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Guess so." He nodded and looked around. "I think I've had enough of Thanksgiving, though. I should get out of here, get back to being an emotionless robot that everyone hates."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Lost for words.)

Re: Om Nom Nom Thanksgiving

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"If you feel like that's something you have to do."

Isabelle... Okay, she was probably going to just have a little something more for dessert, and then bail. Not her scene, either.

"Bye."

She waved him off in the same dismissive way she did most people.
