i like your system. @ idgie…they’re friends now, thank you
IT'S TRUE ENOUGH THAT THEY'VE BECOME EFFICIENT HERE AT THE CAFE — don't gotta hide the good under dead of night 'least, that helps. idgie's been packaging baked goods, one after the other, extra tossed in here and there; end of the day, no good wasting, is it? send it back with aerith who idgie's got no doubt'll make sure it goes to a good place. and between each platter cleared, she's tossin' em back behind her where sweet buddy jr. is certain to catch them, one arm or not he's the best damn catch in the slums, yesiree. impressive system to all who'd witness it, an idgie and stump special, gets all sorta comments and all she can do is beam with pride. this time she comes to a pause with chin supported on her hand, brown eyes already sparkling with mischief.
❝ why miss gainsborough, ❞ begins the drawl, lips tilting upwards in amusement, ❝ you comin' onto me? you know i heard there were folk that were into an organized woman — never been one myself, 'fore ruth anyway — but maybe i shoulda listened to my momma when she said 'imogen, quit hangin' yer undergarments on the banister for the world to see'. really thought i was doin' them boys down the street a favor, you know, considerin' their dames wouldn't be caught dead in anything less than one'a them full body hazard suits 'round em. ❞ dead serious, or so her tone would have anybody believe as she spins her tales. but speaking of momma, there's a big heavy shrug and she's back up straight, fingers straightening out flour covered apron as she does.
she's pushing the stack of containers atop the counter aerith's way and before she's off and running to the next thing, SPEAKING OF MOMMA, ❝ now, you take these and do what yer gonna do. but whatever happens you be tellin' your momma to get her keister down here, alright? haven't seen her in an age and we gotta have a talk about them ducks again. she ever tell you 'bout them? ❞ and so soon as she's made to make herself productive again, she's leaning back in, that amusement ever present — isn't it productive to make friends? her momma always said she'd talk to a brick wall if it suited her whimsy to. ❝ freak thing, those old ducks ... ❞
