Parking Lot at the End of the Causeway, Saturday Afternoon

[thismaskiwear]

You could accuse Katchoo of trying to look the part, what with the leather jacket and cigarette dangling out of the corner of her mouth to go with the new boots, except that she'd had the jacket forever and the cigarette was pretty much an accessory for her.

She'd argue that all of those things went well with the rented motorcycle she was surveying now.

"Still can't believe I'm doing this," she muttered, picking up one of the helmets (she hadn't been able to get a pink one for Arthur, sadly) and trying it on.

Teaching Arthur how to ride a motorcycle. Yeah, this was gonna go great.

"Not on a motorcycle." What? There was stretching and ...bending and...stuff involved. "And Katchoo doesn't."

"...I'd rather not see him on a motorcycle," Merlin replied with a bitchface. "I'm sure Katchoo would if you asked her."

"Oh yeah. Because that worked out so well last time," Francine muttered. With a bitchface.

"Pardon?"

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

".........." She really needed to bitchface more quietly. "I don't have great luck with talking to Katchoo about...that kind of stuff," she finally settled on answering.

"...clothing?" Look, he wasn't paying close enough attention. And he was him. And talking to Francine.

So...

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

"...Yes." Look, he'd offered her an out that let avoid talking about tying people up.

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

He didn't realize this was the same kind of topic! So he just continued to give her a confused look.

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

Why did she have absolutely no defense against the arooo? look?

Sigh. "Certain kinds of clothing?"

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Kinds of clothing?" All he could think of with different kinds was Francine in that--"Oh."

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

"Oh," she agreed. "Or what people do while they're wearing it. Or not."

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You and here--" Brain. Broken. "This past weekend?!"

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

Forgive her for taking a moment to parse that; there was a motorcycle circling past.

"What? No!" Francine jerked her head back to stare at him. "While she was normal and I was like that?"

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I don't know! I apparently thought Arthur was a prostitute and asked him to spank me!"

...inside voice, Merlin. Inside voice.

"....................................?"

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Yes, that was about Merlin's response too.

"I hadn't meant to say that!"

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

"To Arthur, or to me?"

"You! Either!" Merlin covered his face with his hands. "Can we pretend this didn't happen?"

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

"Absolutely!" Iamsopicturingthatargharghargharghargh. So perhaps she should move on to denying that it was a pretty picture. Argh.

"...But... do you ever wish you, um."

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...had?" OH GOD, WHY DID HE COMPLETE THAT SENTENCE?!

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

"I...was going for 'had the balls to say those kind of things when you're not out of your mind,'" Francine blurted, awkwardness-overload ironically making her blunter than usual. "But I guess that too....."

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Oh. I."

Merlin and his ears turned a rather spectacular shade of red at that.

"Sometimes."

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[thatsamilkshake]

Helen Francine Peters, do not ask him which. It will do no one anywhere any good. Concentrate on the blushing contest instead. Or the revving of that engine right there...

Seriously, the motorcycle boots? Not helping, Katchoo.

"Yeah, me too."

Re: Gallery of Peanuts

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I thought it might be easier, you know? We both have... some experience with this sort of thing," Merlin said, kicking at the ground. "But all I can think is 'Bibble' when it comes to approaching the subject."

That burst of laughter was 99.44% pure nerves and .66% nostalgia because she was pretty sure that's what she'd said after the first time she kissed him.

"Sorry," Francine said. "So not funny. I get that, really I do. I mean, I know Katchoo would never have done any of the things I was trying to get her to do when I was Francie Firelight, because I wasn't me, but... sometimes I wish I was her."
