“Yeah, yeah,” Leonie nodded in feigned acknowledgement, lack of sleep weighing down on her eyelids. “Wait—what?” Brows knitted together in confusion, eyes blinking repeatedly in an effort to keep herself awake. Goddammit, stop zoning out. Days like this, social situations just made her all the more exhausted. “Sorry, sorry, I am listening, I promise. It’s just…” she glanced down at her hands; couldn’t get them to stop trembling from the caffeine withdrawal. “Didn’t get much sleep last night.” Any sleep last night. Or the night before — and the night before the night before. “Mind if we go over that again?”

Elijah paused, noticing that Leonie hadn’t paid attention to a single thing he said. It was a boring story, actually, so he couldn’t be too upset about it. He was going on about what happened at the library earlier that day with two little kids trying to find books for their class report, and it clearly was one of those stories that someone had to be there for. “No, no, it’s alright. I wasn’t really talking about anything. — Do you need coffee, love?”

“I told my students to impress me with their papers, and it’s becoming clear they honestly think I don’t read them. Look at this. I don’t even think some of these are in English.” he laughed, looking down on the paper. “And apparently someone thought it’d be cute to print their paper entirely in Comic Sans. You offer extra credit for Halloween and everyone absolutely goes mad. Give em an inch and they’ll go a mile. I have a sense of humor, but come on.”

Elijah glanced over at the paper, resisting the urge to laugh as he read over the first few lines. It wasn’t entirely horrible, but for college work, it was pretty awful. “At least they didn’t pass up your extra credit. I remember being one of the few students that always did it for the extra cushion, especially when midterms rolled around.”

“I don’t know why people love Christmas so much. I’m all for Thanksgiving. Come on… a whole holiday for eating?! Sign me up!” Stella said, laughing and then getting a bit more serious. “The history of it’s tragic, but… I love me some turkey.”

“I still find Thanksgiving to be so odd, actually. I understand the history behind it and everything, but wouldn’t people stop celebrating after finding out the truth?”

“It is so amazing. I was a tad rambunctious when younger so my parents and teachers would have to chase me to get me to sleep but now, I have a love for naps that is incomprehensible.” She teased, grinning widely. “You said it, man.”

“Oh, I was such a good kid. My parents never had to fight me for naps or anything. I made life way too easy for them.”

“Ah, and what might that entail? Someone who enjoys chocolate?”

“Great to know we’re on the same accord.” She replied with a wink, snickering softly. “Nap time is my favorite time.” Kajal then joked, chuckling at her remark. “I get to appreciate their cute faces while thanking the heavens for a moment of peace.”

“Nap time has always been my favorite time. Mum never had to fight me for sleep.” Elijah chuckled at her response, nodding in understanding. “That’s always a nice little bonus. Cute faces and a fresh breath.”

lorelaicelia:

Fall weather always put Lorelai in a good mood. It was her favorite time of year, when the air was crisp and cool, the leaves beautiful shades of yellow and orange, houses decorated with ghouls and ghosts, and horror films played on almost every channel. Even a 24 hour shift couldn’t dampen her day. She had made her way to her favorite coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee which she of curse, filled with cream and sugar, before taking a glance around the place. It was crowded, of course it was. It was that time of day, after all. She did one more once around before heading towards a table that had one empty seat. She walked over, standing in front of the seat in question. “Is this seat open? And, if it isn’t, can I offer you a free cup of whatever you’re drinking in exchange for it? I have some work to get done and this is the only open spot” she smiled, hoping it came across as charming.

The changing weather put Elijah into an intense mood to write, and he found himself doing more of it lately. He was never one to miss shifts, but since his muse was taking over almost every aspect of his life, he called off for the day and planted himself in the coffee shop to continue his work. He was almost too engaged in his writing to notice someone speak, only looking up when he leaned back in his chair to stretch. “Huh? Oh, um, no. It’s not taken. Please, take a seat.” Elijah murmured, gesturing to the seat in question. “It’s always nice to have a little company, yeah?”

He laughed and noticed where he was going.” Nice pun there.” He shook his head.” I guess you’re right, You don’t look that old though.” He looked over the older male.

“Thank you.” Elijah said with a proud grin, thankful that his little joke had landed how he wanted. “How old do you think I am? Just take a guess — I won’t get offended.”

“I can’t wait until my nieces and nephews are older and enjoy the vice of laziness. Maybe I’ll get my sleep back.” Kajal teased, laughing gently. “Until then, it’s toddlers and pre teens climbing in my bed Saturday mornings and bombarding me with hyper-activeness.”

“I feel that on many, many levels.” Elijah murmured with a little nod. “I always recommend taking them outside and letting them run of all of their energy with games. It makes for a nap and a lull of silence.”

“I’m greedy.” He said with a laugh.” Candy is my weakness.” He chuckled and nodded.” yeah you do deserve a treat sometimes.” He agreed.” I actually feel like i’m an old man already and my hairline is gonna recede soon.” He laughed.” I don’t wanna get old.”

“Mine, too. Mum’s always said I was too sweet for my own good.” Elijah joked, pushing a hand through his hair. “Oh, please don’t say that. If you’re an old man, then I’m practically dead.”

“I usually stay home too, Minus passing out candy because i just end up eating all the candy and I just give them a trick instead if i’m in a good mood.” he chuckled. “but this year for my birthday i want to make it count, You only turn twenty four once.”

“I always set aside a separate bag of candy for myself. I deserve my own treat without any tricks.” Elijah murmured, grinning at the other. “That’s true. Twenty-four’s a good age. I did a lot of great things at twenty-four.”

“It’s like someone shoved pounds of sugar into their bodies. Have you ever babysat before? I did awhile ago for my niece and let me tell you, I was drained. She would not sit down!” Kajal remarked with a laugh. “I don’t even think I ran that much while at the academy.”

“I’ve babysat one of my cousins before, but he was a little older, so all we did was play video games and watch cartoons. I don’t know how I would’ve reacted in your situation.” Elijah admitted with a soft huff of laughter.

“There’s certainly an air of… arrogance to crème brûlée, that’s for sure. And, really, custard and fruit is practically the same thing, it’s just prepared differently.” Offering a sigh, Kelly finally nodded. “I think so. I’m partial to crème brûlée because I’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth. But if I’m in the mood for fruit I can just garnish the dish with a few berries as well. Best of both worlds.”

“I didn’t know desserts could be arrogant.” Elijah joked, a little half smile on his lips as he crossed his arms. “Ah, way to figure out how to cheat the system a little bit. That sounds amazing, actually. A few raspberries on top would definitely make it better.”
