Arrakis - Sietch Tabr - Wednesday Morning & Afternoon

[atreideslioness]

It was around dawn when the scent of food began wafting up from the kitchens. Fresh baked bread, coffee, and the lilting tones of Fremen chattering in a mixture of Galach and Chakobsa as they went about their lives.

If they were a bit more outgoing and less-wary of the visitors than they had been the day before, well, going out into the desert to meet with Shai-Hulud had shown a certain daring and respect, and those were two traits that the Fremen held very dear.

The portal would arrive to pick them all up around three, but until then, the visitors from Fandom had the run of Tabr.

Although it still didn't make you safe from the Aunties.

Tony smiled and let his fingers curl around Jack's. "I don't think they hurt. Actors use them in TV and movies all the time."

"If you try them first, I'll follow," Jack said, not terribly seriously. He rubbed his thumb against Tony's palm. "For now, I'll manage with the color eyes I was born with."

"Nothing wrong with those," Tony smiled.

Jack swallowed. "There's nothing wrong with yours, either. And you're being very sweet today."

Tony gave him a surprised look. "I am?" Was he usually rude?

Re: Underground Reservoir

Jack caught the look and grinned. "Yes. But you usually are," he amended.

"Oh. Okay," Tony said. "'Cause if I'm being a dick, you can totally tell me."

Re: Underground Reservoir

[bitten_notshy]

"Are you ever a dick?" Jack asked. "I haven't seen it yet."

Re: Underground Reservoir

[wantstodirect]

"Nope," Tony smiled. "I'm always a perfect angel."

To which Jack, very maturely, rolled his eyes and brought his foot down into the water to kick some at Tony.

... just because.

Tony laughed. "Don't let them catch you doing that," he said, shaking off the water. He glanced around to see if any of the Freman had seen that. "These people are hardcore about their water."

Re: Underground Reservoir

[bitten_notshy]

Jack grimaced. "I even know that. I just forgot." He took a step back from the pool to avoid any further temptation.

"I know," Tony said. "I'm so used to taking water for granted. It's like a whole other mindset here."
