Construction Site: Monday 6-18: All Day

[needsaparrot]

The usual safety gear and tools are set out, but today instead of bricks to lay not dirty there are stacks of wood that need to be cut.

"Yeah, I'm letting you use the sharp objects today," Xander says with a small smile, proceeding into a rather extended and handwavy safety lecture. And then there's no smile. "Screw around near them and you'll be outta here so fast your ass'll give off sparks when it hits the sidewalk."

"Zuko," Mel said using his name like a swear word. "He's a jerk."

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"A jerk in the I should buy you a Twinkie Split Sundae with extra hot fudge sauce way, or a jerk in the I should call home and round up nine or ten extra Slayers to come help kick his ass way?" He offered both options with equal seriousness.

Mel takes her time considering the options.

"The first one," she says grudgingly. "Thought I reserve the right to choose the second one at any time."

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"So noted." Xander nodded. "Anything I can do? Aside from ice cream?"

Re: Talk to Xander

Mel gave a huff of frustration and shook her head. "Not unless you can explain the mysteries of a man's mind to me."

Re: Talk to Xander

Xander raised an eyebrow. "Well, I might get drummed out of the union for revealing official secrets, but I could give it a shot..."

Re: Talk to Xander

"Well I don't want you to cross the union," Mel replied. "At this point maybe ice cream is my best bet."

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"I think I could at least get away with revealing that ice cream also works on guys," Xander offered.

Re: Talk to Xander

"I don't think he's an ice cream kind of guy. Actually I don't think he likes anything," Mel smirked.

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

Xander frowned thoughtfully. "Everybody likes something. Have you tried him on Twinkies?"

Re: Talk to Xander

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"He only likes himself. And firebending," Mel replied. "I thought he liked me but I guess I was wrong."

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"Then he's an idiot." Xander was fully aware that in certain situations this was synonymous with 'he's a guy and he's breathing' but in this one, it seemed worth saying anyway.

Re: Talk to Xander

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Pretty much," Mel shrugged. "Nothing I can really do about it. How are things with you and Bridge?"

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

Xander tried not to look nervous. He had a whole month to get progressively more and more freaked out in, right? "We're, uh, going to visit his parents at the end of July."

"Is this where I cue up the ominous music?" Mel asked.

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"Well, I've survived vampires, witches, tentacle demons, crazy hellgods, mummies, being split in two, clowns, bug-people, trolls - well, a troll - and more zombies than you can shake an evil mask at. Meeting the parents of my underage boyfriend for the first time should be a cakewalk, right?" Xander looked hopeful for about two seconds. "I'm so totally toast."

Re: Talk to Xander

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel gave Xander a sympathetic pat on the back. "I think we're going to need to split that sundae."

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"I might even spring for two."
