War is completely needless when taking pleasure in the sound of your own voice.


Captain Barbossa, I will be able to continue working on the Black Swann tomorrow.

Kara, I hope that you are doing well. It seems Turkish Delights are infectious.

Pevensies, I brought tea.

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Finally he decides to take a seat on the couch.]

That is reassuring.

[He means it, it's not facetious. He's glad his nose didn't gush a river of red or you know, he didn't find an arrow in his back. Caspian does give the steak a funny look though, then accepts it. If only he knew what she's been through before.]

Thank you...

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[Claire sits on the coffee table and presses the steak up to Caspian's eye.]

Hold it there, I'm gonna get a towel and some ice.

[Going to and from the kitchen, when she sits back down she's got a damp towel and an ice pack.]

Are you okay?

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He winces but doesn't lean back when she does this. The raw meat smells like raw meat. Sigh. He holds it in place.]

I am all right.

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[Okay, you can put the raw meat down, dork. Hear, have some ice while she looks at your lip.]

Do you wanna stay here?

[Mohinder takes the couch and Zach sleeps... somewhere. But she can get a cot out for him. Or Peter might be gone.]

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Ice is fresher and cleaner! Ahhh.]

If it isn't too much trouble, but if it is I will find another place. I do not want to burden you.

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[And meltier! Watch the couch there, Caspian.]

It's not any trouble at all. You can stay here whenever you need to.

[Or until Peter finds out.]

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Brushing his long hair away, and nodding.]

Thank you.

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[Looking at his eye again, biting her lip.]

I don't really support fighting but I hope you hit whoever hit you really hard in retaliation.

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head in response. Oops watch out for the dripping, sorry.]

No, I didn't.

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[There's some on her pants but it's okay. She doesn't mind.]

Well.

[Looks at him, clearly concerned.]

I'm glad you're okay.

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a terrible fight, Claire, but thank you. I really do appreciate this.

[He reaches a hand out to hers, to give it a squeeze of gratitude, except he just as quickly retracts his hand.]

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

Still - leave me alone, okay? I'm turning into a worry wart in my quest to become more like my dad.

[She smiles in return, getting up to throw the steak away and pick up some of the mess she made. When she comes back, she stand with her hands on her hips.]

The good news is, I think you'll live.

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

That is a noble aspiration.

[It makes him smile, if briefly. But why throw the steak away!]

I appreciate the outlook, nurse.

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[She smiles, but it's different, softer maybe.]

It is. He's a great man.

[Shakes that off. No one wants to eat a steak with your blood all on it, Cas!]

I'm hardly a nurse. I've just got a little brother. I've seen a couple nose bleeds. You want me to make up a cot somewhere, if you're tired?

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I would believe it.

[He nods. Oh come on once you cook the steak the bacteria's all gone right?]

Whatever is most convenient for you, either this room or even the floor.

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[If you want the steak, then it's right there in the trashcan, waiting. Claire, on the other hand, is going to go about getting blankets.]

There's a... sofa-thing in my room, but I think Peter and Mohinder would probably have separate but equally great heart attacks if they found you in there. The couch is probably the best idea.

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Ahaha, no thanks. He's not roughing it in the woods, no need to salvage.]

Then I will accept your couch.

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[She's fretting. Let her fret. A couple pillows and blankets from the closet at least.]

Mohinder hasn't complained, so I think it's pretty comfortable.

[Mr Muggles comes trotting downstairs to sniff.]

If he bothers you, just ignore him. He'll go away.

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Fine fine! He doesn't mind getting pillows and a blanket either.]

Who? Oh... I am sure we'll be all right.

[Caspian is tall and that thing is not. Hah.]

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[She'll tuck him in if he's not careful. Or. No. Because that would be weird. Claire tosses the blankets and pillows on the couch and hands him the ice pack.]

This'll stay cold for a while, and I'll be just up the stairs if you need anything, okay?

[Sees Mr Muggles and Caspian standoff.]

Don't step on him.

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Taking the ice pack, getting settled.]

I very much appreciate this, Claire. Thank you.

[Another look at the strange little dog. It reminds him of a court spaniel, only even smaller.]

I won't.

Knock knock!

[adamantined]

[She smiles and starts heading for the stairs.]

Stop that.

[Claire stands where she can see Muggles and Caspian and tries not to laugh.]

Night, Caspian.

Knock knock!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He's about to apologize and profess gratitude again but stops himself!]

Goodnight, Claire.

[A smile. Just wait till she finds them in the morning. His chest is a good sleeping place for little dogs.]
