Mixed Muses continuity: Kale and Atton.

[stuck_mynock]

Atton doesn't celebrate Earth holidays, but he does have that particular eagerness to please that means he revels in the chance to give stuff to people.

This is why, when he saw Kale in the bar, he - without any kind of preceding explanation save 'I've got something for you! - grabbed his hand and started pulling him, with all the fervor of a very excitable puppy, up the stairs.

The hand was distracting for a moment. "Very... practical. Down to earth. Hardy."

"All good things," Atton says lightly, setting his hand on Kale's shoulder and pausing to brush it down his arm. "Anything else?"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Mmm... not that I can think of at the moment," he says, voice distracted at the touch.

"Okay. How's breakfast?"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Dinner like."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"To be expected," Atton says amiably, hand drifting down to between Kale's legs.

Wanting to at least get a few bites in him before another romp around, which is where Atton seems to be going, Kale takes a fork of string beans and shoves it into Atton's mouth. "Here. Try these."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton grins, apparently taking the hint and quickly wolfing down the beans.

"Huh. Not bad."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Good boy.

"Sort of interesting." He regards them curiously. "Long and limp"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton just arches an eyebrow.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"And green. They're green. Long limp and green. Not a very appetizing thing, you would think..." Atton better do something.

Atton just lets him ramble. He's curious to see if it will come to a point.

"Green is rather strange, for somethings like mold it means that the food isn't good any more but then you get veggies and they're supposed to be green. Most of them. Not like radishes or anything like that. But then you have fruit, which is not ready to eat when it's green."

No. Not likely?

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton rests his chin on his hand, waiting patiently.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

There must be something in the food.

"Except limes and green apples, but even then they are green too at the unready to eat stages. We had this tree back at the house that Trev and I used to play in. It was completely green, bark , leaves, fruit flowers. You name it, it was green. When we wanted to hide sometimes we'd dress up in green and climb the tree. It only worked on Naldan though. Mom and dad could always find us."

"Is this going somewhere?" Atton asked amusedly.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Not likely. I was just seeing how long I could go on until you asked me to stop."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"The rambling is adorable, and I can tune it out, so really, it's no problem."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"You'd just stare at me while I talked."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yep!"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Kale chews on a green bean. "I'm not sure how I feel about that."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You'd prefer I just cut you off when you started rambling?" Atton asks, tilting his head.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Maybe try and stop me? Or join in?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I'm not a great rambler, but I can stop you."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah? How?"
