[If you've been worried over her absence, never fear, for she's finally emerged from her sexathon (hey, it's a good cause! Saving the polar bears~ or something), unscathed (if you ignore the relationship bit) and even searching out food for once in her life. what on earth is happening?]

Anybody in here cook food, ever?

[thirdtimelucky]

It's true, and I reckon it's fair to say I'm in good company.

[Wigglebrow. That's a patented move, and good, because if she did, he'd have to slap her and things would just devolve.]

Ha! Now you've gone and stroked it, all unknowing!

[Moo ha haaaa, Effy.]

[enigmatic_effy]

Your company's not bad.

[Now that's impressive. And she doesn't fancy being slapped, so it's a good thing she hates duckface probably as much as he does.]

... Fuck. Well played, but you're a twat anyway.

[thirdtimelucky]

My company is exquisite.

[Then they're both winners.]

Thank you, thank you - and maybe I am, but you love it. I can tell.

[Here, have half your half back. Sharing is caring.]

[enigmatic_effy]

Thanks.

[Eyebrow raise.] You can tell?

[Aw. well, she'll just tear that half in half and hand one off to him.]

[thirdtimelucky]

Y'welcome.

Yeah. Still here, aren't you?

[He's just going to bite that straight from her hand. Yep.]

[enigmatic_effy]

Could just be because there's fuck all else going on around here right now. First interesting option I've found.

[And there's a huff of laughter.] Mum never taught you how to feed yourself?

[thirdtimelucky]

And best - and you were holding it right there for me! It'd be rude to leave you hanging like that.

[Grin.]

[enigmatic_effy]

Can't decide you're best if you're the first one I've found.

Course. Thanks for being well chivalrous.

[A little grin in return.] I'm Effy.

[thirdtimelucky]

It's dead simple - I'm the benchmark that all others will fail to meet.

[For all that he hates his mum, he's got some gentlemanly habits.] Yeah, I'm good at that.

Sirius. Nice to meet you, Effy, now that I've made you dinner and let you hand-feed me.

[enigmatic_effy]

Put it like that, you might as well just put me out of my impending misery and propose to me now.

And they said it was dead.

Those are the makings of the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

[thirdtimelucky]

Fairest Effy, wilt thou be mine forever more and feed me grilled cheese until we're old and gray?

[Eyelash batting for added effect.]

Too right, they are, and we've only just met and all.

[enigmatic_effy]

Spring wedding?

Meant to be. And what I really want to know is where you learned the art of fine grilled cheese.

[thirdtimelucky]

Flowers in your hair and no shoes.


I just so happen to be a master of many disciplines, including but not limited to snacking.

[enigmatic_effy]

Hippie wedding?


Brilliant at everything?

[thirdtimelucky]

Peace pipe, free love, and cake with secret ingredients!


Pretty much, yeah.

[enigmatic_effy]

Secret ingredients. I approve. We'll get wedding of the year.

I'm marrying greatness.

[thirdtimelucky]

You're the first girl I've met who doesn't go mushy-headed over wedding plans, even with blokes she's just met. I approve of this, I have to say.

Well, yeah. But we both knew that.

[enigmatic_effy]

Never figured I'd get married, so it's a bit hard to see the point. But thanks.

Took some convincing, actually.

[thirdtimelucky]

Yeah, it's not one of my all-consuming dreams, either.


--what? Little liar, you knew I was awesome from the moment you set eyes on me.

[enigmatic_effy]

Never seen a successful one.

Sorry. It took a bit of convincing.

[thirdtimelucky]

So cynical. I've seen at least one.


...you are hurting my precious feelings, I'll have you know.

[enigmatic_effy]

Not cynical. Just realistic.

[Fake sweet!] Oh no. Forgive me, please?

[thirdtimelucky]

You don't believe in true love and all that shit?

...well. I don't know, Effy. I just don't know. I'm wounded, you see - probably mortally - by your disdain for my fragile and delicate self.

[enigmatic_effy]

No. Not forever.

There's got to be some way I can make it up to you.

[thirdtimelucky]

Cynical, I say it again.

Yeah, there probably is. Should we make a list?
