It's not even like my birthday is on St. Patrick's! [ no, ella has the ides of march instead. ] I'm just ginger and Irish. [ and wee, and rude, and fond of gold and hitting things with sticks and pranks. ] And Ireland has the second highest population of redheads, its not my fault!

[ ella sometimes forgets she wasn't born here, because she was just a few weeks old. ]

[badexample]

[He opens his mouth to say that, seeing as he actually IS properly Irish, but... Yeah not worth the fight. He closes his mouth and just starts for his tea instead.]

I almost filled your room with boxes of Lucky Charms when you were gone, but figured I liked my balls attached a lot better.

[sorceresslite]

[ that actually makes her laugh as she stirs sugar into her cup because clearly she needs more sugar in her life. ] Don't tell Finn, he'll be so disappointed.

[badexample]

Maybe when he gets back, I'll have him help me. [He actually likes Finn quite a lot. He's a good brother type, and even if he's part of the Hide, he doesn't give Andrew quite as many inadequacy feelings.]

[sorceresslite]

[ finn is the best, this is true. ]

Why can't you just fill his room with Lucky Charms?

[badexample]

Who said we couldn't? Doesn't quite have the same ring, since Finn's not pocket sized.

[sorceresslite]

You're asking to get slapped, sir.

[badexample]

Fine, fine. No more short jokes. So what's it you've got planned for us, then?

[sorceresslite]

Movies, tea, snacks? [ basically the same thing they always do sans booze so andrew won't be drunk for his date and because ella doesn't like drinking alone. ] Pizza for lunch later.

[badexample]

Better get started then. I've got to squeeze in as much time with you as possible before I have to start getting ready. [He glances down.] Suppose that means I should put on pants, huh?

[sorceresslite]

Why? We're not going anywhere and I don't give a piss about your scrawny chicken legs.

[badexample]

Fair enough. [You will never hear him complain about not needing to put on pants.]

Did I tell you that Edain came up to us at the squiring party? Bo got him to sit the fuck right down. It was beautiful. [okay he won't talk about her the whole time. But mostly he's just excited to see Edain put in his place.]

[sorceresslite]

[ she rolls her eyes because omg pls get over it, but she smiles at the same time because the image of bo giving him what for is, admittedly, pretty funny. ]

Perfect woman for you, isn't she?

[badexample]

Sort of. She's not... Well, she's a woman, but she's not human. [Besties share everything okay. He pulls up his drakenet search and hands his phone over to her.]

Told me about it at the squiring party. She kissed me and sort of... fed from me, I guess? I don't know but it felt great.

[sorceresslite]

...have you been googling again? [ she makes a face at him as she snatches the phone out of his hand. ] What have I told you about believing everything you read on the internet? Next you're going to tell me Morgan Freeman's dead. You never think anyone is human, do you?

[badexample]

She told me she was! Said she wanted me to know before we...if we ever got...intimate.

[For someone who can be just as foul mouthed as Ella he sure fumbles over that one.]

[sorceresslite]

I swear to god if you're blushing I'm going to up end this tea in your lap and then you shan't ever be getting intimate.

[ SHE DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS. ]

[badexample]

Shut up. You know the last time a girl made mention that she might one day let me see her naked??

[Spoiler, it was probably before he even joined the knights.]

[sorceresslite]

Never? Never ever? [ just putting that out there. ]

[badexample]

Fuckin' cute. But it's been too many god damn years for me to screw this up, that's for sure.

[sorceresslite]

Oh you'll be fine. She thinks you're brilliant and she's a smart woman. Accept that someone likes you for once and go with the fucking flow, Andrew Sean Gatewood. Buck the fuck up or so help me I will pour boiling tea on your cock and then you'll be right fucked.

And not by Bo.

[badexample]

You're terrible at pep talks, you know that? [But he looks more relaxed.]

Thanks, El. I just...needed a good threatening to put me right on track I guess

[sorceresslite]

I know. [ she's amazing. ] Now shut up and shove over, we've still got time for one more before you're hot date. [ she clambers up next to him and hunkers down. time for bff sorta cuddles and movies. ah tradition. ]

[badexample]

[Lounging back on the couch, Andrew moves an arm to make room for Ella cuddles.]

'M glad you're back. If I haven't said that a million times already.

[It was a hard life without her around.]

And I'm glad you like Bo. I think... I think it could be good.
