         “Uncle Lonnie. That name means nothing to me.” 

He knows how to kiss ass. And, honestly, he’s so hungry, he’d say anything to get her to make him as much food as possible. Luke’s aware of the fact that some things are off of the table, though. You know, if he wants to get fed before tomorrow. 

                        “D’you have any ’a those really great hamburgers? And that bacon– and oh! Those really tasty beef tomatoes, with the pickles and– oh, man, I’m gonna drool all over myself just thinking about that shit.” 

[foundandsettled]

         “I always knew I liked you for a reason.”

Smart boy. It’s worked even though she knows he is kissing ass. One hundred percent. She just wanted to hear it. She gives her husband a whole bunch of crap for that over sized ego of his but! clearly she’s not much better!

                   “Of course, go ahead and make yourself at home while I get everything put together, yeah? Try not to make puddles of drool while you wait--”

[gotbeardy-blog]

       “You’re kidding! I could eat a whole fuckin’ cow!” 

He bobs, rather excitedly, on the spot before giving an eager nod of the head. He’s always liked the food Shel makes. Mind you, Luke just likes food, doesn’t he? 

                         “Really missed your cooking in prison, Auntie S.” 

[foundandsettled]

     “--Even more than Uncle Lon’s?”

The answer to that question depends on how much she’s going to spoil him. She’s still going to treat him like that sweet little boy she’s always seen him as, sure! But if he admits to liking Lonnie’s food better? Well someone’s not getting dessert.

                “Anything in particular you missed so I got an idea of what to make?”

[gotbeardy-blog]

       “If I say what I did, then I’m admitting to it, and my lawyer said I shouldn’t do that.” He’s joking. He doesn’t have a lawyer anymore. “I’m not working! I didn’t use that soap at his house. But I did use it when I got home. After throwing it out of the window. It was great!” 

[foundandsettled]

     “Hm, alright, I guess I’ll let it pass.” For now! “You’re awful you know that? He’s gonna be so mad at you, I hope you’re prepared for that trouble. --But! I digress. You hungry? I can fix something up for you.”

[gotbeardy-blog]

         “You seriously didn’t hear I got arrested?” Ah, well. Cat’s out of the bag now, isn’t it? As if his mom isn’t disappointed enough in him, now Auntie Shel will be as well. Whatever. At least he smells good. “Or did you just mean prison stabbed. Which almost happened, actually–” Unsurprising. 

                            “Uhhh. No! No, I used your son’s soap. Absolutely… when I showered at his house.” 

[foundandsettled]

      “Trust me, I heard all about it.” She’s not as disappointed as she should be, but she does try to pull a scolding look. “Really?! What did you do, huh? You make yourself something to defend yourself with at least?” Clearly Auntie Shel has had her own episode of Orange is the New Black. Something she probably shouldn’t be talking about to the kids! Shame!

                         “Mhm. Keep lying. S’not working.”

[gotbeardy-blog]

       “Oh, my god!! Auntie Shel!!! I’ve missed you so much, I’m so         sorry I didn’t even send a letter or something!!!” 

He makes a point of kissing her cheek and giving her the world’s strongest hug. Please note: he smells like that fucking soap. 

                            “He said he was gonna shower with me. I think                              Nora was gonna watch or something?” 

[foundandsettled]

      “Much better!” she has to get on her toes to make sure to return that hug sufficiently. So tiny! Awful! “Had me worried you had gotten stabbed or something. Shame on you.”                    And she definitely catches that scent. She’s gonna bring it up.

                “Oh God that boy--” a shake of her head. “You do smell like Nora though. Did you use her soap?”

         “Hey, have you seen Uncle Lonnie lately? I wanted to say hi           but he wasn’t at the farm. Which is weird. But, like, whatever!           Did you know your son propositioned me today?” 

[foundandsettled]

     “Whoa-- alright, let’s play this in reverse. One, I don’t even get a       ‘Hey Auntie Shel! I’ve missed you! I’m okay! Totally not dead or        worse as you can tell!’ Two, no I have not seen him if I do I will        give him a heads up and three, what the hell did he do now?”

[pugpicker-deactivated20190417]

          “Yeah, well – that ain’t fair.” 

Eggsy gives a shake of the head. It was impressive, sure, and the fact that he thinks that is evident enough from the look on his face but – well, she seems like she knows what she’s doing. Eggsy? He’s practicing. Still getting to grips with everything, you know? 

                                “I ain’t no parkour master. You get me?” 

[foundandsettled]

      “Excuses, excuses.”

she shakes her head and gives a laugh. yeah, she knows it’s a little unfair but hey, she wanted to have a bit of fun. she retrieves her jacket and covers herself up once more. 

               “That’s clear enough. But you did do a good job. I will give you that.”

[pugpicker-deactivated20190417]

       “Okay, but – gonna – just sit – floor – breathe–” 

He plonks himself down on the floor and, well, breathes. But he is watching her, sort of interested in seeing what it is she’s capable of. 

[foundandsettled]

      “Alright, kiddo, watch and learn.”

another soft pat on his shoulder as she walks over to the railing and hangs her jacket there, leaving her upper body covered in just a tank top. ( damn she’s toned for a someone as small as she is ) and then she heading up to where he had climbed. she’s had plenty of time to examine it while he was busy trying to impress her. 

      with a deep breath she moves to stand on something, she’s tiny give her a break, and jumps to one of the ledges. doesn’t give a single sound of a complaint or grunt. she pulls herself up with easy and even makes it look grace full. 

      of course, her wanting to seem professional means it’s time to go a little further. there’s a ledge next to the one she’s hanging from and, you guessed it, she’s gonna jump for it. with a little swing she let’s go and grabs onto the next ledge perfectly. 

                        the entire trip down is filled with a few flips and jumps. sort of the same thing he had done with an extra little twist to it. and when she reaches the bottom, she sticks the landing. no wobble or anything.

                          “First try.”

[pugpicker-deactivated20190417]

         “Y-yeah– alright–” 

He’s a little winded. That took a lot out of him, after all. And she just decided it was pretty good? Please. He did that so many times and he didn’t hurt himself once, like – come on. 

                                “Wh– You can– tricks?” 

[foundandsettled]

      “You think I just gave you crap for your moves because it was funny?”

A part of her did. But at least she moves over to him and gives him a pat on the shoulder. Hey, he did pretty good. He’s got some experience in the matter, she just has a bit more.

              “Okay, you did pretty great. But lemme show you something cooler.”

[pugpicker-deactivated20190417]

             “Are you having a fucking laugh?” 

Do you know what he does? He turns right around, climbs right back up, and decides he’s going to do the entire thing again. When he lands this time, he wobbles as well, so he turns around, goes back, does it again. He ends up doing it four more times before he eventually sticks the landing. And, somehow, he hasn’t fallen over once. 

[foundandsettled]

      “Oh boy, someone has to prove himself now.”

She can sit here and watch it all day really. Watches as he wobbles over and over again. Tries to hold back a laugh each time he climbs back up and jumps back down. At least he’s never fallen.

          “Hm, I guess that was pretty good. Finally.                              Wanna see some better tricks?”

[pugpicker-deactivated20190417]

         “Fine! Fucking watch me–” 

Eggsy makes the effort to clamber back up where he’d just jumped down ( both ledges! ) and then moves back to give it a run up. He starts at a run, does a flip off of the first ledge, and then again with the second with a spin, and more or less sticks the landing with a little bit of a wobble. 

Were he Jesse Pinkman, this would probably be the perfect time to say gymnast, bitch! but he actually has respect for other people, so. You know. 

[foundandsettled]

    She gives a cross of her arms. Watches as the boy climbs back up and does the entire stunt again. She gives a shrug when he gives the landing but looks a bit unimpressed.

      “Eh.” she finally says. “You wobbled on the landing. Could have fallen over but I guess you got lucky. I wouldn’t say it’s completely professional yet though. Keep at it, I suppose.”

[pugpicker-deactivated20190417]

            “S’fine. I know what I’m doing.” 

[foundandsettled]

      “Okay. Do it again. I wanna see how quick it takes you to break your ankle.”

Person B saves them and cares for them, doing everything/anything in their power to bring some—any—semblance of their old self back. The day Person A cracks a smile, Person B nearly has a breakdown.
