There is a table. On it is a jar of sugar cubes, a jug of milk, a bottle of whiskey, and a large and steaming pot of coffee, a judicious distance from the double baby-carrier. Melodic burbling comes from within.
Havelock eyes one baby with a look that is somewhere around mildly puzzled, while Puck cheerfully sneaks his third lump of sugar and crunches it.
It's 'meet the Missus' day, apparently.

"Hello?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-17 08:55 pm (UTC)From:"Good afternoon," says Havelock pleasantly, nodding her into the room, and pushing out a chair courteously.
Just because he usually ignores it doesn't mean he doesn't know about being gentlemanly!
no subject
Date: 2007-06-18 06:13 am (UTC)From:"Good day, darling."
Havelock's gentlemanly behavior earns him an approving grin.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-20 03:50 pm (UTC)From:Lilly glances at the contents of the baskets. Still there.
"Spawn."
Havelock, however, gets a lovely smile as she sits down.
"Good afternoon- Havelock, right?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-20 06:44 pm (UTC)From:Male child burbles in a way that may or may not be greeting.
"May I offer you a drink?" Havelock continues.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 09:40 pm (UTC)From:Lilly is relying on it being heavily spiked.
"So."
I married your boyfriend. How's that working out for you? ...yeah, maybe I should ask that after a drink or two.
"How are you?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 09:49 pm (UTC)From:He tugs at Havelock's sleeve without looking. He wants a drink toooo.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 09:56 pm (UTC)From:Then he pours whiskey.
Into the coffee, obviously, and liberally. He feels he knows Puck's tastes and tolerance, and judging from Mrs. Goodfellow-Kane's contribution to the proceedings, her preference lies along similar lines.
His own is slightly weaker, out of habit.
Someone has to be sober enough to keep watch. In case of... attack. By somebody.
It's a hangup.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 10:11 pm (UTC)From:Lilly takes a lengthy swallow of her whiskey-and-coffee.
"Well, this is... totally not cozy. Man. If anyone gives us anything as a wedding present, you can have it to warm this place up a little."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 10:17 pm (UTC)From:"Do you really think it as bad as all that?" He looks mournfully at Havelock. "I find your taste in decoration absolutely charming, you know."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 10:21 pm (UTC)From:"Frankly, I thought the lack of milkshake was enough to be going on with."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 10:32 pm (UTC)From:Lilly takes another sip.
"I like milkshakes. Metaphorical or otherwise."
Just ask Ingress.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 10:38 pm (UTC)From:He likes milkshakes too! Also he'd no idea Havelock's room could've possibly gotten like this without Havelock's having forcibly removed pieces of furniture and thrown them out the window, but one learns something new every day.
Sip. Sip.
"How are you, Lilly dearest?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-21 10:41 pm (UTC)From:His weaponry is very important to him.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-24 04:10 am (UTC)From:She sips. She looks around. She looks back at her cup. She can think of a million things to say, none of which are probably appropriate.
"How- oh! How were the kids for you guys?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-24 04:39 am (UTC)From:Sadly, no such luck.
"Oh, they are lovely," he assures her. "I have found for myself that two mortal children are nearly the equivalent of one divine, at least so far as the mechanics of caring for them."
These guys don't teleport, for one thing.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-25 10:20 pm (UTC)From:The lack of luminous multicoloured bubbles was something of a relief, as well.
And there's that silence again. In a demonstration of the skill of their species, the children appear to have picked this opportunity to be quiet as mice with tonsillitis.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-27 09:38 pm (UTC)From:"And okay, seriously? Are we all pretending it's totally normal and okay that I'm married to Puck and we have children via ambush and at least one boyfriend? Because if so, awesome, but if not and Havelock here's planning to duel me for whatever's left of Puck's honor I'd like to know before I finish my coffee."
She glances down at the cup.
"After all, having to pee during a duel would suck."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-27 09:58 pm (UTC)From:"Havelock?" he says, sounding slightly accusing. "You mean to duel my wife?"
A bright, sudden smile.
"I and my scant honor are most flattered, you know."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-28 12:30 am (UTC)From:"I regret to inform you that I have no such intention, then," Havelock says dryly.
"...Out of curiosity," he continues, turning to Lilly, "Did you really think I would?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-28 02:31 am (UTC)From:She pauses. She starts to grin.
"Havelock, have you ever heard of nerf weaponry?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-28 03:02 pm (UTC)From:He is so unromantic.
But he brightens at Lilly, despite having no knowledge whatsoever of this 'nerf.' Frankly, he'll be surprised if Havelock doesn't either.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-28 08:28 pm (UTC)From:Puck is absolutely right. It's remarkable that 'romantic' is even in his vocabulary.
"And... no, I cannot say I have."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-29 06:28 pm (UTC)From:"Duels are good for kids. Well. The non-lethal kind. Or okay, they're not any worse for them than tea."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-29 11:24 pm (UTC)From:Tea is gross.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-29 11:42 pm (UTC)From:"Perhaps," he says guardedly. "They certainly seem to have a focusing effect on most young minds."
He should know.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-02 03:46 am (UTC)From:Lilly pauses.
"Okay, maybe more like Baby Darwin, but whatever. Close enough."
She leans towards Puck and drops her voice to a whisper.
"I'm going to lose, right? Because... I have no idea what the hell I'd do with the tattered remnants of your honor if I won."
no subject
Date: 2007-07-16 08:16 pm (UTC)From:no subject
Date: 2007-07-16 08:46 pm (UTC)From:He thinks it's safest.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-16 09:22 pm (UTC)From:"Can I give him some nerfy blows though? I mean, nothing says 'You'd better be good to my husband's honor' like the terrfying possibility of styrofoam splinters."
no subject
Date: 2007-07-16 09:24 pm (UTC)From:no subject
Date: 2007-07-16 09:33 pm (UTC)From:I mean, he sips his coffee serenely, and pats the hand of the male child as he reaches out for something entertaining past his sister's nose.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-17 08:47 pm (UTC)From:Okay, not in any specific way, but Lilly feels quite strongly that dating Puck is like putting out a sign saying "Hi, Universe. Please Feel Free To Come Hit Me With Your Wacky."
And marrying Puck is like adding a "P.S. The Harder The Better!" to that sign, so she has no sympathy.
"Okay, that's maybe my new goal. Are we defining expression in the normal way, or since it's Havelock if I get a mouth twitch or an eyebrow raise will that count?"
