Ocker 101 - period four - week 6 [18/06]

[whatacrocdundee.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived in the Danger Shop, they could be forgiven for thinking they were in the wrong place. Given the rolling lawn, impeccably groomed and emerald green, the tables with actual lace tablecloths and the exquisite food, bone china and fine silver it would be a safe assumption. The tables for sitting and the tables holding food and tea were arranged under a large white gazebo which was covered in climbing roses.

Mick was sitting in one of the chairs, holding a delicate teacup and saucer, pinky elegantly curved. "Today we're going to learn about afternoon tea, and the proper way to behave if you're invited. Everyone take a seat." Once his students had complied, Mick explained the proper etiquette for attending afternoon tea, then nodded at the elegant tables. "Now it's time to put it to use."

"But sometimes I don't want to be in control." Like when hell froze over, to pick a totally random example. "And dresses are pretty, especially when Kahlan wears them."

And then she sighed, because thinking of Kahlan and her pretty dresses and her pretty hair was just the kind of thing that made Cara sigh.

Clark started laughing and suddenly realized she was being serious with that sigh. "Wait, you don't want to be in control and dresses are prettier than red leather? Cara, did you fall and hit your head recently? Drink anything the crazy professor gave you before class?"

"No, I feel fine." Cara eyed Clark oddly. What was wrong with liking dresses more than that leather outfit? "In fact I feel great about myself."

"Hey, feeling good about yourself is important," he agreed, feeling a little confused himself as he caught that look. "Sorry if I'm a little shocked by all the change. It's just real sudden, you know?"

Re: Partake

"But sudden isn't the same as bad...is it?" Because what other people thought of you was important.

She sounded so...concerned about his opinion. Really, really weird day, but even Clark knew that sometimes the weird brought the good. "Uhh, no? Though seeing you here all dressed up makes me wonder if you wouldn't wanna go to the GALA with me tomorrow?"

"You mean that dance?" Cara loved dancing, and would certainly never prefer fighting horrible monsters like Gars instead. "I'd like that."

Clark's responding grin was huge. That had been much easier than he would have thought possible yesterday. "Awesome! I'll pick you up and everything."

"I'll be in my alcove." Cara smiled and blushed again, because what if her cabinmates thought she had something untoward planned for after?
