What are you doing?

[Please pardon the barefoot and robed stranger who's just too curious to do the usual invisible spying.]

... and where did today go?

[beadchain.livejournal.com]

Something I used to be ridiculously fascinated by as a kid.

[There's a couple little strips of cloth and tissue, along with glue, pipe-cleaners and wood-sticks of various lengths. Day off, totally immersed in the craft project, in general, in a pretty good mood.]

Rain's falling, waters rising. Clearly, this calls for a leap of logic to -- twig regatta!

...fuck if I know?

[officersariel.livejournal.com]

I see. It seems like a good weekend project. Do you mind if I watch?

(Sorry. I am. Not doing great.)

[beadchain.livejournal.com]

Not a bit. Nice robe, by the way. I had a waistcoat almost exactly the same shade when I was slightly younger.

(Forgiven you are. Love you, I always do.)

[officersariel.livejournal.com]

What happened to it?

[Sariel nimbly takes a seat nearby to watch Mairi work.]

(You too, ducks.)

[beadchain.livejournal.com]

Hung onto it as long as possible, was all, 'but I don't want to lose you!', figured no... I wasn't going to fit back into it after pregnancy and it made a wee sleep-suit for my kid.

(What is it with you and Guri-mun calling me "ducks"? :P)

[officersariel.livejournal.com]

I bet it looks adorable on her.

[Yes, random barefoot stranger in robe knows your kid is female. And didn't realize that just slipped out.]

(o.0 Unintentional telepathy?)

[beadchain.livejournal.com]

I didn't want to stick her in pink from the beginning, yeah.

[She noticed, Sariel. Mairi may be playing with glue and bits of twig, but. Picked right up on that.]

(I'm wondering if it's a localization thing. Where on Earth you from?)

[officersariel.livejournal.com]

I can understand why not. Pink creates expectations of..."girly-ness", in a way.

(Somewhere where they spell localisation the 'proper' way. ;P Guess?)

[beadchain.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Not that I'd've had a problem if she really went that way, of her own accord. I just didn't want to set up the expectations in-freakin'-utero.

Mmm. Closer to my time zone than hers, yeah.

[officersariel.livejournal.com]

And she hasn't gone that way?

[Careful this time to phrase it as a question.]

(Warm. Getting hotter. What time is it there?)

[beadchain.livejournal.com]

(I'm used to being the only player over the Pond (thereby missing things, constantly, lol))

Pink and frills? No. I think she picked out a dress this morning, but- yeah, it was the black one, and jeans under that. She likes them and feels comfortable in 'em; that's all that is going to matter to me.

Interesting that your thought-processes went to 'girl' when I said I had a blue waistcoat.

[Sariel shrugs and does the angelic innocentface. He's an angel and mostly innocent. He can get away with it.]
