Luke's, Sunday

[uncertain_dume]

Took Kanan a little while longer than usual to get in to work today. No one reason, really. Just a dozen little things. The dog hid his boot. He found it behind the toilet. Why Stance was hiding boots behind the toilet now was anybody's best guess. But while he was back there he found a gremlin hole, which he needed to patch up; he suspected that the boot had been put there as Stance's attempt to plug the hole, and once he'd removed it, the pup had just sat there howling mournfully at it until Kanan did something about the damn thing.

Then there had been the gremlin loose in the bathroom. It had needed removal. Post-haste. Which had involved trapping it in the trash basket, and then dumping it out the damn window. But trapping it in the basket had resulted in dumping all the contents of the trash across the bathroom floor...

Anyway, he looked faintly exasperated by the time he finally made it in to work today.

Today's Specials:
Pancakes. Just pancakes.

Happy Sunday.

"Now that," said Summer, once she came by in the afternoon and had a seat and pointed at the specials board with a wagging finger of approval. "That is a good special. Simple. Effective. That's what I like to see in a special.

"Well," she added, after a beat, turning her attention and a smile toward the minutely harried man behind the counter, "maybe just with more glitter."

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan chuckled at that, shaking his head a little.

"This is Fandom, Summer. More glitter can always be arranged."

Always. Somehow. One way or another, damn it.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"It's true," Summer agreed. "I literally have some in my purse right now as we speak. Never leave home without it."

She didn't have to prove it; she knew he'd believe her, but she still fished out the little container and popped it down on the counter, if anything just for effect.

"How's the day, BDG?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Spent half my morning living out the Missing Boot Saga," Kanan sighed, though he leaned in and inspected the glitter thoughtfully. "Stance tried to plug a gremin hole with it, I think. Smart thinking. Not great for getting to work on time."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"....awwww," said Summer, after taking a moment to put that scene into place in her head. "He's helping! But also, gremlin hole? You guys have a gremlin hole? That sounds...unsafe."

Also like a wellspring of potential endless comedy, buuuuut, she was going to go with unsafe for now.

[uncertain_dume]

"You have no idea," Kanan grumbled. "Guess where it was."

And then picture the comedy of errors that would lead to a very unfortunate gremlin bite from there.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer took a moment to consider the prompt, consider that grumble, and consider the nature of gremlins.

"Mmmm....the kitchen," she guessed.

She had not taken into consideration as much of the comedic value as she could have, no, getting rather stuck on the practicality of a gremlin setting up shop somewhere it could get you before you've even had your morning caf to fend it off.

Kanan shook his head. Raised his eyebrows. And then lamented, "Behind the toilet."

It was hilarious and tragic in equal measures.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer, for her part, did not laugh out loud. She nearly did, but was just going to bite her lip and only let out a snort over that one, because she couldn't decide if where that lead her was just grossly inappropriate or if the hilarity of it was enough to forgive any breach of common decency.

"Oh, man," she said, "it's a good thing Stance discovered that one before you did, because I am ninty percent sure that's something you only find out personally the hard way."

She went ahead and let out the laugh she was trying to hold in before attempting to look more sober, though it mostly came out as a soft smile. "And maybe you guys need to clean behind your toilet a little more, huh?"

....guess who was doing that as soon as she got home later, too.

[uncertain_dume]

"I swear that gremlin hole wasn't there the last time we did," Kanan replied, shaking his head, but now his own amusement about the situation was catching up with him. He grinned back at her. "In any case, Stance is getting extra treats when I get home tonight. And I'm going to start installing chicken-wire borders around the bottoms of our walls or something."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Mmm, yeah," said Summer, laughing, "that sounds nice and aesthetically pleasing. Maybe you can find some at the scrapyard that's been nice and weathered, give the place a real rustic look. I'll get HGTV on the phone, maybe we can pitch them a new show: How to Gremlin-Proof Your Home...with STYLE!"

Actually...

She would so totally do that show.

[uncertain_dume]

"One of these days, I'll have to show you my actual idea of interior decorating," Kanan replied, raising his eyebrows and smirking a little. "Without intervention, I mean."

It was... bleak.
