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.

"Yeeees," he answered, dragging out the word. "Are we playing some game now?"

Her shoulders shuddered in a short laugh.

"I didn't mean to. Just didn't know what to say. That's all the 'hmm' was, all right?"

She paused then.

"Maybe after I was thinking it might be fun to go down and surprise you some time. But that was all."

"Aha! I knew there was something," he said, victorious. "And surprises can be good. I promise to forget I heard anything about it."

"No, I'll have to wait until you really do," she said, nudging his arm again.

"Or it'll be no fun."

"I warn you, I'm very forgetful," Griff said. And he thought she might remember his need to remind himself of things.

"Which just means I won't have to wait that long. Or there's always the chance that I could do this" and she leaned up to press a kiss to his cheek.

"That's always an option," Griff said, smiling at the little kiss.

"Probably my favorite one. Can be patient but I don't enjoy it."

Re: Underground Reservoir

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Do people often test the limit of your patience?" Griff wondered.

She gave him a wry smile.

"My mother did. Does. Eliot sometimes. Mike, eugh. I don't know. It's not something I think about too much.

His smile was so very evil and yet totally playful. "Maybe I should join their club."

Re: Underground Reservoir

She eyed him. Warily.

"Oh?"

Re: Underground Reservoir

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

He bumped her shoulder. "Of course, it's likely not in my own best interest to make you be patient."

Re: Underground Reservoir

She bumped him back.

"I'm happier when I don't have to be patient. Whether that's in your best interest," she replied, teasing a little herself.

That was up to him.
