Of course, but never with such... enthusiasm!

[Woman, you never give hugs.]

A-a cold wash... of course.

[A pause.]

...This was for the mud, wasn't it?

[vintage_magic]

What's wrong with a little extra enthusiasm once in a while?

[No, she usually didn't, not being much of a hugger.]

And soaking it before hand too.

[But that was exactly it and with a laugh she admitted...]

Dag nab it! You caught me. I thought you should have a taste of your own medicine for that time with the mud.

[lezard_valeth]

[Something flipped about in his chest with that laugh, but he lifted his nose in mock indignance.]

Well, I suppose we're even then, aren't we? Or perhaps I ought up the ante a little...?

[vintage_magic]

[Still not letting go of him, she pivoted around to face him, raising an eyebrow. What was he going to do? Dump a bag of flour on her and make her look like a ghost?]

Even? Maybe. But if you're thinking of making even more mischief, I reckon I shouldn't go easy on you.

[She reached up and pulled on his ear, leaving more candy smudges on the side of his face. She was still teasing but clearly, they were both going to need a bath after this...]

[lezard_valeth]

That sounds like a challenge on both accounts!

[And there's the ear, dabbed in chocolate and now that he's in a way submitted to his fate to be stained in the stuff, he just can't even act cross anymore.]

Hmhm... And I bet deep down you're pleased as punch that there is no chocolate shortage to be had. Alas, I think a very dire trip to the wash is on the immediate agenda instead.

[vintage_magic]

Not that pleased. It seems more like torture with all this delicious smelling chocolate that you're afraid to eat. [Because the Landlord had a history of playing tricks with sweets. She might have been tempted to kiss those smudges off his face otherwise.]

[She laughed again.] But I reckon you're right about a bath. I hope the soap and shampoo didn't turn to candy too. [Or they were going to be in a very sticky situation!]

[lezard_valeth]

Ah, yes... edibles from the landlord are usually suspect. Yet I cannot help but notice no alert over the network over ill effects; simply stomachaches from the overindulging youth. Some of my students have gone absent thanks to this, but if they think they're dodging the quiz coming to them soon they've another thing coming!

[He smirked.] They say chocolate is good for the skin, but I could do without a day spent sticky.

Shall we check?

[vintage_magic]

Land sakes! Some folks are just reckless, aren't they? Eating candy that falls out of the sky. [She shook her head, hoping some of his students had better sense at least.] Even if it's just a stomachache, that's something I can do without.

Me too. We should go get cleaned up before we end up stuck together. [And she finally let go, reaching up to push back some sticky brown locks. She hoped she could get all the chocolate out of her hair!] But I guess the next question is who gets the tub first?

[lezard_valeth]

A question, indeed. But my answer saves far more water...

[vintage_magic]

[She blushed at that although it might have been hard to tell with the drops of chocolate dotting her cheeks like oversized freckles.]

Does that mean you're offering to help scrub my back?

[lezard_valeth]

One could say I have magic fingers.

[vintage_magic]

[Even if he has seen quite a bit of her before, she's still a bit shy about such things. She also has the feeling that if she takes him up on his offer, they might need another shower afterwards anyway...]

...Maybe, you'd like to demonstrate?

[lezard_valeth]

[Now you're thinkin'.]

With pleasure, Miss Ivory.

[vintage_magic]

All right. But you'll have to help me get all this chocolate out of my hair first or you might be scrubbing for hours.

[Not that she thought he'd mind that but they couldn't really think of doing that until they were both far less sticky...]
