Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:10:00 AM)
*Nate is sitting quietly in the living room section of his place. On the floor. Staring at a cat. Who's staring back*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:11:07 AM)
*Very fluffy white-black kitty with green eyes and clearly very well loved-on and with a slight limp on the right side*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:12:23 AM)
Ceilidh is in the kitchen area of the labs, she hasn't been here for a while now, though when she did walk in she'd consciously touched her side, as if that pain still resides. She has a bad of ingrediants and with Friday's help moves to cooking. Just in a pair of emerald cords and her turtleneck top. Putting her jumper off to one side.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:16:47 AM)
*She carried bags over with Ceil, carefully setting everything down and starting to unpack it all as she fidgeted and smiled sheepishly at Ceil* Thank you for helping me.. I want yummy food..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:17:23 AM)
I'm trusting you to not poop in my shoes, cat. *he says, to the cat* I'm giving you respect, I expect it in return.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:17:48 AM)
*He gets a meow in return and the cat then moved forward and started rubbing it's head against Nate's knee, purring happily*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:18:14 AM)
"Well, hopefully you'll all like it." A soft smile to her, Friday noticing that a good deal of this dish appears to be all vegetables. Though she has bought some meat, its not like it looks to be a main dish by any stretch of the imagination.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:19:34 AM)
*He seems puzzled for a moment, then shrugs and scritches the cat*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:20:27 AM)
It looks yummy.. I like all the food ... I think.. I dunno what some of it is..

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:20:47 AM)
Okay.. what can I do? Should I .. cut something up.. or.. wash it.. eat it..

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:21:02 AM)
*very happy purring ball of fuzz half splayed in Nate's lap now*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:23:27 AM)
I'm glad we understand each other, cat.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:24:00 AM)
"Wash it... and cut these into thin slices." Moving to offer her some eggplants and zucchini. "We've making up a vegetable lasagne. I bought a smaller plate to have a conventional one too. In case people want a bit of meat."

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:25:54 AM)
*She nodded and began washing everything up thoroughly before she started very carefully cutting them up, trying to make sure she didn't cut her fingers while she was at it*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:26:05 AM)
*thin strip-o-finger is not tasty*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:27:10 AM)
*In spite of his normal intense curiosity, Nate is behaving himself, and not trying to peek into his lab. He's now quietly grading papers and petting Cat*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:27:40 AM)
Nodding to her, Ceilidh moves to make up the sauces for both and then working on chopping some things up with her, she begins the work of layering both plates, the most time consuming part truth be told.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:28:06 AM)
*And Cat is LOVING the company.. whereas normal Friday is normally all avoiding her dorm, he's quite happily settled himself into this new living situation.. which of course meant exploring and rubbing everything*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:29:11 AM)
So.. Kay.. um.. why do some people not eat meat? Or like.. anything that .. hurts.. something living.. which I really don't understand because plants are totally living too and so if you rip them up from the ground TECHNICALLY speaking you're suffocating them and then they DIE and that's just as cruel..

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:32:27 AM)
A small smile to herself. "Some people just don't like the principal of it, I guess also they don't really see plants as living organism's in the same way. Or well, parts of plants that can grow back after being cropped."

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:32:59 AM)
Shes surprisingly efficient though and before Friday knows it both lasagnes into the oven, good thing too, since they take a while to cook.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:33:51 AM)
Plants scream when you cut them *he calls, then adds* They scream when you -think- about cutting them. Not that different from animals.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:37:13 AM)
*She looked around when everything was done, grinning* We made dinner.. *She sighed some and scratched at her ear* See.. Plants screaming is bad.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:39:54 AM)
Simple fact of life that something usually has to die for something else to live. No sense being all broken up about it.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:40:10 AM)
"Mmm ... well, I can't hear that and I perform a good deal of herbalism, so I can't say that I'm in any hurry to hear them do so..." Pausing. "Would anyone like something to drink? I bought a cooling bag, I didn't know what either of you really prefered to drink, I'm guessing just soda Friday? Home made ginger beer?"

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:40:56 AM)
But if they're all messed up about animals then why do they kill plants.. Nate doesn't usually let me drink soda here but occasionally, I'll take water!

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:42:04 AM)
"Oh I'm here though, I'm sure you'll be allowed some ginger beer..." Smiling faintly to herself and pulling out a bottle, showing that it is indeed home made, no branding in sight.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:42:24 AM)
Nate! Can I have ginger beer?

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:42:52 AM)
Sure.I don't mind, as long as you control your Hyper.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:45:00 AM)
Okay! *She looked over at Ceilidh and grinned* What's ginger beer anyway?

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:47:16 AM)
"You'll see..." She smiles, moving to where she'd earlier accidently found cups and pouring three tall glasses, moving to take over Nate's, letting Friday gather her own.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:47:59 AM)
Thank you, ladies. It smells amazing.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:48:15 AM)
*She gathered her own glass up and padded after Ceilidh, eyeing Cat in Nate's lap and snerking* Lapslut.. *And she stuck her tongue out at the cat before she sank down to sitting and sipped her drink curiously* Ceilidh did most of it..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:49:21 AM)
You helped. And learned. So I thank you too.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:49:41 AM)
I didn't cut my fingers either!

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:49:48 AM)
"We'll see how it tastes, the chives help bring out a lot of flavor to go with it ... well, fingers crossed at least." Moving to take a seat and letting the two talk.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:50:19 AM)
You're getting better, Friday. I told you starting with salads for practice was good.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:54:11 AM)
*She grinned* I'm doing a lot better at talking to people. I met Mr. Jareth again and he seemed happier.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:56:13 AM)
I'm proud of you. *he says with a nod* You've made a lot of improvement in a very short time.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:56:30 AM)
Well other than the whole getting held up at the buffet...

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:57:25 AM)
Yeah...what happened with that?

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 1:58:59 AM)
"Mmm... Jareth is often unhappy you shouldn't think thats cause of you."

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 1:59:01 AM)
No idea.. he was scary.. shot off his gun and everything but Craig tackled him and stuff and then Lyric got me out and we scurried away and stuff..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 1:59:41 AM)
Oh. Well, I'm glad you didn't break down. You're handling that pretty well.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:00:06 AM)
Moving to get up, Ceilidh goes over to check the oven and how things are coming along, letting them talk. Its clear shes listening in, but well, shes here to help out, so thats ... what shes doing.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:00:58 AM)
He wasn't unhappy when I saw him.. He even smiled and stuff.. and giggled a little too. I think he was surprised with how much I eat.. Is it really that abnormal?

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:01:40 AM)
What, how much you eat?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:02:15 AM)
Well.. Justin took me there.. and I had my sandwich.. and then he had to leave and so he told me to have his.. and he gave me fourty dollars and told me to get whatever I wanted.. so I got two more sandwiches..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:03:01 AM)
*he shakes his head* I watch my kids put away metric tons of food. Doesn't seem like a weird amount to me.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:04:38 AM)
*She shrugged some* When I first met Ceilidh and Isabel and they took me out to get sandwiches they looked at me a little funny then too... they even made me promise to stop and slowly chew before I could get a second sandwich *nodnod, peering down at her feet as she wiggled them in front of her* I just like food. And there's so much of it.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:05:50 AM)
As long as your metabolism stays high, it's fine. *he glances over to Ceilidh* How have you and Officer Badass been, anyway?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:07:14 AM)
*She carefully set her glass aside before she shifted around and started trying to stand on her head*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:07:55 AM)
"We're fine.... shes been good in helping me get through some hard times and I really do owe her for that." Moving to poke the lasagne and then closing the oven again.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:11:32 AM)
*He watches Friday curiously, still speaking to Ceil* Oh. Well, you have my condolences for whatever it is that's troubling you. I'm glad Friday's been able to help you guys work through stuff.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:12:43 AM)
"Oh ... its been ... taken care of. Its hard really to talk about it, I no longer remember a great deal of what was giving me trouble in the first place."

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:12:47 AM)
*Yep, trying to balance, head on the floor, hands to the side, carefully trying to get her feet up in the air to get her balance*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:17:40 AM)
...Don't fall on your cat or drink, Friday, please.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:19:08 AM)
Promise.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:19:36 AM)
..Maybe we should get you into a gymnastics or yoga class. Or karate or something.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:19:39 AM)
"Is this ... to do with your metabolism by any chance Friday?" Amusement in her eyes as she gazes her way before again checking the lasagne, seeming content and starting to pull them out.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:21:44 AM)
Karate sounds fun! I watched a kung fu movie today, it was on TV. Um.. Karate Kid.. there are sequels apparently.. ...is it expensive? *She rolled onto her back (not landing on anything) and just kind of.. rolled there* What does what have to do with my metabolism? *She stuck her feet up in the air and stared up at them, reaching up to poke her toes*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:23:07 AM)
I'll get you into a class. *he says, musing*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:23:35 AM)
Okay. Will I get to train out in the ocean?

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:23:51 AM)
Maybe I'll take you out to the ocean to practice.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:24:02 AM)
Okidokey.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:26:41 AM)
A bemused smile as they continue to talk, having dished everyone mostly the vege lasagne and then a side of the regular. So theres variety as much as anything. "Lets way more than I'd normally make for three, even you won't eat all of it Friday, lasagne is really filling ... and well makes for great leftovers the next day."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:28:12 AM)
I should have you guys come to my class and teach a lesson on kitchen science.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:29:05 AM)
*She went very still and just blinked at Nate* ... in.. in front of people?

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:30:30 AM)
...Sure, why not?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:30:43 AM)
How old are they?

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:31:35 AM)
Fifteen-sixteen. Why?

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:31:58 AM)
"Kitchen science? Mmm ... I suppose thats much the same as how Granma taught me about making potions."

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:31:59 AM)
*She nervously scratched at her ear* I don't want to be in front of kids.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:32:59 AM)
Kitchen science is really just looking at cooking as science. Which it is, mostly.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:34:07 AM)
*She just shook her head* I don't wanna be in front of people.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:34:12 AM)
Why?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:34:20 AM)
I don't want them looking at me.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:34:41 AM)
Why?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:34:57 AM)
*She fidgeted a little as she poked at her food* I don't like it..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:35:09 AM)
Why? *asked softly*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:35:21 AM)
It makes me uncomfortable..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:35:30 AM)
Not really an answer, Friday.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:36:43 AM)
Is to me.. I just feel them all staring at me and I start thinking about what they see when they look at me and it starts making me nervous and then I get fidgety and then I think they see me being fidgety and they probably think I'm weird and that I'm a freak and then I start to feel like they're all just staring non-stop at me and that they're laughing and thinking horrible things about me and it makes me feel like I'm suffocating and I panic..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:37:12 AM)
Well, we'll work on that.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:37:36 AM)
A shake of her head and then moving to put the plate down in front of Friday and Nate. "you're getting better Friday, a lot better infact, but enjoy the food." Sitting herself and moving to start slowly eating.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:38:06 AM)
Thanks. *he says with a grin, and digs in. He's apparently starving*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:38:12 AM)
*She tugged at her ear and fidgeted, poking the food with a fork before she slowly started eating it* Thank you, Kay..

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:42:59 AM)
I made everyone get all quiet.. I'm sorry

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:45:19 AM)
Mouff fuww *he says around a mouthful*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:45:54 AM)
"No no ... its fine. Just enjoying my food." Smiling softly to them both and shrugging. "The best part.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:46:02 AM)
Oh.. well.. I -suppose- that's a valid reason.. *Ooooh, sarcasm, she was learning!*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:46:17 AM)
*he nudges her with a foot, grinning*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:47:07 AM)
*She smiled sheepishly* I have a surprise for you when dinner's done..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:47:29 AM)
*He peers at her* You're pregnant?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:47:50 AM)
That's not physically possible.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:47:58 AM)
You'd be surprised.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:48:52 AM)
I don't believe in immaculate conception

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:49:10 AM)
All it takes is one weirdo with a syringe, Friday.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:49:43 AM)
Right.. but there haven't been any weirdos with syringes.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:50:01 AM)
A quirk of an eyebrow at Nate, not wanting to heighten Fridays fear any more than need be, and just enjoying her food.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:50:18 AM)
Ok, yeah. *he says, grinning for some reason*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:50:33 AM)
... what?

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:50:43 AM)
You didn't spaz.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:50:54 AM)
Cause I know it's not gonna happen.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:51:18 AM)
I know. But a couple weeks ago, you probably would have flipped out at just the -idea-.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:52:15 AM)
... I dunno.. Depends on how much I think about it.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:52:35 AM)
That's the trick though, Friday. learning what not to obsess over.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:52:52 AM)
But I obsess over different things at different times.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:53:32 AM)
I know. But you're learning how to manage those obsessions better. Which ones are healthy kinds of things to focus on, which ones aren't.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:53:56 AM)
If you say so.. *Smiling sheepishly*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:54:03 AM)
I do. Obviously.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:55:45 AM)
So it seems. *grinning*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:55:58 AM)
(sorry for the slow posts, i've been working on getting my own dinner made)

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:56:03 AM)
(S'all good)

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:56:29 AM)
*he snickers, leans back in his chair, looking content and stuffed*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 2:57:52 AM)
She looks pleased to see Nate acting in such ways, smiling to herself and taking her time. Given it took a bit of effort ... and it tastes good, shes savoring it.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 2:58:30 AM)
*He stretches out a bit* This sure beats frozen food.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 2:58:55 AM)
*She grinned and poked at Nate playfully as she soon cleared off her own plate* Mmhmm.. so much better than burned ramen..

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:02:21 AM)
"If it wasnt' ... I really did something rather wrong." A soft smile at their praise though, happy to hear it.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:02:41 AM)
I can't tell which I like more.. the veggie one or the meat one..

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:03:20 AM)
"Dad's a real meat eater but even he gets surprised by my cooking sometimes. .."

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:04:45 AM)
*She nodded a bit*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:06:05 AM)
Why are you a vegetarian? *he asks Ceil, eyebrow raised. It's not judgemental in tone, just his usual curiosity*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:06:54 AM)
"Oh no no ... just I enjoy cooking all sorts and sometimes it doesn't -need- to have meet." She motions to the partof her plate which had had the meat dish too.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:09:13 AM)
Oh. Ok. Always curious about motivations for those with alternate diets.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:09:48 AM)
*She nodded a little bit and got up, gathering the empty plates to take them to the kitchen and clean them off before she went scuttling over to her little sectioned off area*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:11:02 AM)
A pause as Ceilidh watches her go, then putting the remainder onto plates and smiling to herself. "Nate, you noticed she didn't have seconds? Guess lasagne really is filling... even for her."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:11:33 AM)
She's saving room for the ice cream I made earlier. I bet.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:15:23 AM)
*She comes padding back out and offers a little box over to Nate*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:16:07 AM)
*He peers at it, rattles it* Wazzat?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:17:02 AM)
Somefin... *She flopped down on the floor and dragged Cat into her lap to pet him* Ceilidh helped me pick it out and the guy was super nice and even let me get it inside my budget. I hope you like it!

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:19:06 AM)
*he opens it up, peering inside*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:19:20 AM)
A small smile from her position in putting the left overs into the fridge and cleaning up in the kitchen, gazing back from time to time.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:20:30 AM)
*She squirmed around on the floor as she watched Nate*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:20:45 AM)
*he flicks a glance to Friday* You sure these were inside your budget?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:21:55 AM)
*She nodded* They were priced more but I asked the guy if he'd take what I had for them and I told him they were for you and explained it all and he agreed. He was very, very nice.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:22:03 AM)
Ceilidh was there with me.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:22:36 AM)
Thank you, Friday. I love them, for real. *he noddles, smiling a bit*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:23:24 AM)
A small smile again, knowing -exactly how- they had been within Friday's budget, but thats her little secret.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:26:20 AM)
*She squeaked gleefully, setting Cat aside gently before she crawled over and hugged Nate* I'm really happy! I wanted you to like them, I really wasn't sure if you'd like them but Kay helped me think of things to figure out what you might like. I'm really glad you like them. *Yep, excited Friday*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:27:09 AM)
*he kisses her cheek!* I do like them. I needed a decent pair. My old ones are pretty beat up.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:27:34 AM)
*She squirmed happily and grinned at Ceilidh* You're awesome! Thank you, Kay!

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:27:56 AM)
*She flopped against Nate's side and peered up at him* ... does this mean I get an extra scoop of ice cream?

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:29:53 AM)
I guess. *he says with a playful sigh*

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:30:05 AM)
*She squeaked happily* YAY!

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:31:33 AM)
If you want to get some now, it's in the metal container in the freezer.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:31:52 AM)
*She hopped up and bounded over to the fridge* Want some Ceilidh?

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:34:42 AM)
(and i now have food, sorry :) )

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:34:50 AM)
(S'ok ^_^)

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:34:53 AM)
(Need to go hon?)

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:35:32 AM)
"Homemade icecream? Yes, absolutely ..." Moving to get out the three plates for them all and then taking a seat, letting Friday dish. (No, its okay, though i nearly burnt one part of it.)

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:37:01 AM)
*She began dishing up large scoops of ice cream up before putting the container away and carrying the dishes over, giving one to Ceilidh, another to Nate and then flopping down with her own*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:37:27 AM)
(it's chocolate!)

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:41:10 AM)
*Nate looks over, grinning, then tastes his ice cream once he has it* It was an experiment.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:41:19 AM)
I think it passed

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:43:06 AM)
"Its good, part of your work on the science of food?" Glancing Nate's way and flashing him a soft smile.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:43:44 AM)
*he nods* I was working on a new potential lesson for class. Liquid Nitrogen demonstration.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:46:13 AM)
"Liquid nitrogen and icecream? Hmm ... I suppose that might work, it must make the icecream have a different texture though."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:46:43 AM)
*He nods* Yeah. The faster you freeze it, the smaller the ice crystals...so you actually get a smoother, creamier ice cream.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:48:39 AM)
"Hmm ... interesting." Looking down at it, and nodding a touch. "Makes sense... thats why defrosted icecream tastes different, larger crystals."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:49:27 AM)
Exactly. *said with a nod* Why it gets crunchy a little, after a few thaw-freeze cycles.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:50:02 AM)
*Friday was very quiet, mostly cause she was busy licking her spoon.. the bowl.. everything*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:51:03 AM)
Friday seems to enjoy it. *said with a grin*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 3:52:10 AM)
"Been a good night for her, my cooking ... your icecream."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:52:57 AM)
She's learning to really enjoy good cooking. Thankfully.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:53:39 AM)
*She grinned at them both* Spoiling me with yummy food.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:57:37 AM)
Not spoiling. Teaching you how to appreciate.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:57:58 AM)
I appreciate all sorts of food.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:58:08 AM)
Technically every chance I get.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:58:21 AM)
Widening your palette? Expanding your boundaries?

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 3:58:45 AM)
That, though, is the best ice cream I think I've ever had short of fried ice cream with this really delicious crispy fried tortillia like thing with cinnamon and sugar on it I had once.. mmm..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 3:59:55 AM)
*he snickers* We can fry that, too.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:00:12 AM)
"Fried tortilla thing ... that sounds like something that would absolutely melt in your mouth, yes."

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 4:02:32 AM)
It was very yummy..

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:03:31 AM)
I'll have to try that out. Interesting cold-to-hot reactions to talk about.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 4:03:33 AM)
*She stretched slowly and got up, taking any finished dishes to the kitchen and again cleaning them up* Do you guys mind if I go ahead and curl up? I'm kinda sleepy..

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:04:45 AM)
"No ... no. Go and sleep Friday, I guess I should get going anyway. I don't want to get in either of your ways..." Smiling softly to her.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 4:05:42 AM)
*She hugged Ceilidh happily* Thank you for all your help! I'll introduce you formally to Cat later. *She padded over and hugged Nate as well before scooping said Cat up to pad over to her sleeping area*

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:08:19 AM)
*He smiles alittle* Sweet dreams, Friday.

Friday Lovelace (Mar 26, 2011 4:08:37 AM)
(nini you two :) )

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:09:18 AM)
(night :) )

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:10:09 AM)
"Mmm ..." Ceilidh moves to go gather her jumper, not so much because she has to go, but more because she thinks its whats expected of her now.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:10:35 AM)
Leaving already? *he asks, shifting to watch her*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:11:38 AM)
"Well, I don't have to go, I just thought after dinner and everything that you'd prefer your privacy. I mean, the two of us don';t really know each other, well other than that ... incident a while back."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:12:25 AM)
I've not got work tomorrow. If you want to stay, stay. I'd like a chance to get to know Friday's friends.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:13:36 AM)
"Sure, I can stay ..." Moving to come over and slip down into a seat, crossing her legs lightly before her and moving to take her ginger beer she'd largely forgotten and sipping from it.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:14:03 AM)
Friday tells me you're a potion maker?

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:17:37 AM)
"Mmm, yes. Of various types. Why do you ask?" Looking at him curiously.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:18:16 AM)
*He motions towards his lab* Shared interest.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:19:41 AM)
"Mmm, yes, just very different manners in which we do things. I gather my ingrediants with herbalism and then brew them in a cauldron. End results are mildly similar potentially though I suppose."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:22:11 AM)
What can you accomplish with yours? *he asks, curious as always*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:23:05 AM)
"Quite a few things, though mostly things that my friends might enjoy or have fun with. Do you want specifics?"

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:23:38 AM)
Examples are fine. Just one or two, don't need to spill all your secrets or anything. *said with a grin*

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:27:49 AM)
"Mm, well, I could make you look like me for one." Musing for a moment. "Heightened senses, or looking more attractive. I have one which gives curves ... though what it'd do to a man, I have no idea."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:28:28 AM)
So you're focused on shapeshifting effects? Affecting physical changes on humans?

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:29:12 AM)
"Not purely. Some are senses, or mind effects. Stopping nightmares, medication."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:29:35 AM)
Still effects on a person, with potentially physical causes.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:33:09 AM)
"Well, I suppose if you consider relieving a headache to be physical, sure."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:34:36 AM)
It's the chemist in me. *said with a nod* Most of my creations stir various kinds of sensory effects. No gross physical changes.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:35:26 AM)
"Fair, I can make someone hyper sensative, but I suppose ... with my tendancy to make something that people will have fun with ... it tends to be more often physical."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:37:20 AM)
I'm not very advanced in my studies, alas. Having to work up from scratch on my own has hampered my education somewhat.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:39:18 AM)
"Mmm, well, I don't know whether you would call me advanced or not. By your kind I'm a linear, but I know myself and my family as witches."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:40:29 AM)
My social set doesn't seperate the types out like others do. Magic is magic, no matter the specifics of it, and should be celebrated in all it's forms.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:41:31 AM)
"Thank you..." A soft smile at him. "I could show you some of what I can do but I don't think for example you have any desire in experiencing what being a female is like."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:42:22 AM)
*he shrugs* Eventually, that might be interesting. Understanding the feminine and masculine both would be helpful understanding internal alchemies.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:43:49 AM)
"I notice you say 'eventually' though?" A bemused touch to her lips.

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:44:32 AM)
I've hardly started my studies of external alchemy. Internal alchemy is more advanced, and will take time. jumping ahead in the book, so to speak, would be awaste of time.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:45:52 AM)
"Why would it be a waste of time? It might be a way for you to see things externally that you had never considered at all, from a change of perspective?"

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:48:19 AM)
If you were just learning to add numbers together, and ended up sitting in on a triginometry class, would you end up enlightened, or just viciously confused?

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:49:23 AM)
"Don't you see how it could help you see things differently in a new way? I mean ... you might learn things to help you understand external things better."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:50:00 AM)
That might be true for an art. But not for a science.

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:50:30 AM)
"Mmm ... maybe, I'm not so convinced. Its your choice though, i'm not going to force you into anything."

Nathaniel Steele (Mar 26, 2011 4:52:16 AM)
*he nods* Thank you for that. (and with that, it's time for me to hit the sack. Thanks for the scene!)

Ceilidh Bain (Mar 26, 2011 4:52:30 AM)
(okay, night!)
