[Backdated August 16] What goes around (Closed to Peter)

[st_hotflashes]

Liz sat on Maria's bed listening to the sounds of some indie band Maria liked. The words weren't registering, but the mood spoke to Liz with its slow, low tones. She had skipped work today, not that it was real work, and Maria had just left to go do some of it probably because she wanted to give Liz some space. Liz had told her she'd go back to her room soon, but she knew her best friend wouldn't mind if she stayed a little longer.

Her eyes slowly scanned the ceiling of Maria's room as if trying to commit it all to memory. Her stomach growled and she remembered she hadn't eaten since breakfast. Still, she couldn't find the will at that moment to move too much. She'd get Maria to bring back a smoothie or something and it'd be fine.

[August 17] Fee Fie Foe Fum (tag Peter)

Alec had spent the last two days outdoors in the wilderness. The inn felt restrictive and being outside helped him cope with it. That and Clarice, who had been invaluable for keeping him from retreating too much back into himself.

He needed a shower and a change of clothes in the early hour of the morning. He slipped into his room and almost missed the form sleeping in Peter's bed.

Annoyance flared up inside him. If someone was pulling a prank, he'd have to kick their ass. He grabbed the end of the duvet and yanked the whole thing off of the sleeping form.

This Deer Was On Fire - OTA

Bo should really keep cooking to the professionals. The thing was, she had been getting so tired of chicken that she was desperate for a steak or something. Dyson had brought in deer meat and she decided she was going to make a steak with some of it - she really was good at burning things.

She walked out of the kitchen that was slightly smokey with a very black and crispy steak. She had hoped the new lighting of the restaurant itself would have give new life to the deer meat, but it didn't. She sunk into a nearby chair and sighed. Maybe there was some meat salvageable on the inside?
