Okay, I'll be there in like...twenty minutes. [she giggles, shaking her head even though he can't see it.] No, just stale donuts and candy. See you soon, I love you!

[After they hang up, she lets out a growl of frustration at herself for being such an airhead today. It makes her feel awful to think of Fjord getting more and more worried by the hour, while she was just lollygagging around with a paintbrush all day. She'll have to make it up to him.

True to her word, the door slams open about twenty minutes later, and she drops her bag by the door before her feet carry her quickly into the living room. She finds Fjord and runs over to him, arms wrapped tight around his middle and a quick but heartfelt kiss on the lips.]

I'm so sorry! You were all worried, and I was just sucked into painting. I'm definitely not mad at you, or anything, I promise!

[halforc]

[ Setting a tray of hot buttered toast with some tomatoes on top on a coffee table when the front door bursts open, he straightens and his arms are free just in time to catch the barrelling blue form of Jester for a hug and a kiss. ]

It's alright! I was just wondering, really, where you had run off to.

[ After Aphrodite and Caleb vanished and reappeared recently, he may be on higher alert than usual. He rubs her arms, shivering at the chill she brings indoors. ]

Not that you care, but you're freezing. Let's get you cosied up.

[leetle]

Don't worry, baby, I didn't get kidnapped for sex or anything. [She buries into his neck with a happy sigh, kissing him there.] It's cute that you were all worried about me, you know.

[She pulls back and then puts her hand on her face, patting softly.] Am I? Oops! Ugh, is that for me, it smells so good. [Already gravitating toward the food, but pulling Fjord right with her by the hand!]

[halforc]

I wasn't worried ...

[ Pulled along with her, he swerves to sink down heavily on the couch and tug her along, once Jester has grabbed her food. ]

I thought you'd made some new friends, that's all.

[leetle]

[She settles in against Fjord's chest, plate of toast in her lap. She definitely has paint smeared on her hands and arms and face, but she's pretty sure most of it is dried by now. She munches happily into it, and thinks for a moment how she really has done a lot of growing up, because she eats vegetables all the time now, and actually likes them.

Jester tilts her chin up toward Fjord, the better to see him.]

Oh, no, nothing like that. Well, I did make a friend, and he asked for a painting studio from the Augur. So I went over there right away to check it out, you know, and then I thought, "I'm not doing anything right now!" So I just picked up a brush and started painting. [She wriggles happily, thinking about her huge beautiful canvas.]

I can't wait to show you. It's huge and so pretty!

[halforc]

[ Finally able to relax, Fjord dozes with an arm around Jester and a hand patting absently over her legs where they hang to one side of his lap. He tips his head back on the couch and closes his eyes, yawning. ]

Did you take any pictures?

[leetle]

Oh shoot!

[Jester grumbles, crumbs spilling down her front as she takes another bite of toast.] No, I forgot because I was in such a rush! But if you want, I could show you tomorrow?

[halforc]

Sure, I'm not busy. I'd like to see what you've been up to in your arty hideout.

[ With a kiss to her forehead. ]

[leetle]

Great! I can't wait. Ooh, I can show you the tattoo I did the other day, though—

[She fiddles with her bracelet for a minute, before projecting the image of the hidden-dick circuit board she'd tattooed on Noiz.]

Look at how beautiful it is!

[halforc]

[ Fjord squints, trying to make out what it is he's looking at. In the end he decides to go with a neutral, ]

It's very ... geometric. What is it? Oh! I see a dick.

[leetle]

I have no idea what it means, really. He showed me examples and then I asked if I could hide a dick in it. And he let me!

[Jester's beaming, tail flicking back and forth proudly.] I even learned how to use the tattoo machine! It's way faster than the other way.

[halforc]

Is the machine more dangerous?

[ Sounds like it! ]

[leetle]

I mean...maybe? But it's also less painful and doesn't make you pass out, so. I think it evens out.

[halforc]

Well, I'm glad you're having fun. If it involves permanently marking the idiots on this island with dicks, all the better.

[ He's proud of her, giving her a cuddle. ]

Do you ... think it would be a good idea to make a small mark on us? The Nein, I mean. Just a scratch somewhere so we know we're the same people if we disappear and return.

[leetle]

[She sets her now-empty plate aside and settles properly into Fjord's lap with her arms circled around his shoulders. His suggestion earns him a raised eyebrow as Jester considers it.]

That's really not a bad idea, actually. What if I put a little dot behind everyone's ear or something?

[halforc]

[ A hand comes up to play with the hair curling in the nape of her neck, twirling it around his fingers. ]

Do you promise not to make mine a dick?

[ It bears asking! ]

[leetle]

[Jester laughs into his beard, nose nuzzling into his jawline a little as she shakes her head.]

I would never unless you asked me to! What if I did a leetle, tiny tusktooth? Just, like, so tiny.

[halforc]

[ His fingers slide into her hair to knead at the base of her horns, holding her close as she nuzzles his jaw. ]

Absolutely and utterly fucking not.

[leetle]

[She just giggles into his beard, moving her head just enough to nip at Fjord's earlobe in retaliation.]

You are no fun.
