Don't go looking for snakes

WHO: Jane and Arthur (and anyone who wants to bug them I suppose?)
TONE: Heartwarming baby snake egg raising shenanigans
RATING: G to PG-13 for language maybe
WHEN: Feb 6th, lunchtime
WHERE: The Great Hall
WHAT: Organizing eggvents and eggtivities
STATUS: Ongoing



[As soon as the lunch bell rings, Jane is running right over to the Slytherin table to look for Arthur, the jar of dirt clutched tightly and safely in her hands. Once she finds him she sets it down on the table beside him and sits down with a happy little bounce.]

I got him! Or her, I suppose. I forgot to ask, hoo hoo. Now we just have to organize our schedules so we can take care of the egg until it hatches!

[At least he's paired with someone he finds tolerable, even if she's sometimes a little too enthusiastic for him. Arthur hadn't really liked Jane at first - he'd had no time for her for the most part - but then he'd found out she liked Conan Doyle.. and things had gone from there.

When she sits, he's half way through a mouthful of food, and coughs, then swallows it down with a gulp of pumpkin juice before he speaks.

Bloody hell, Crocker, you don't waste any time, do you?

[He gives the egg a look.]

Right. [Cough.] Of course we do. I'm still questioning the validity of this experiment, by the way.

[He props his head up on one hand, elbow on the table, and half-smiles at her. If nothing else, he can't fault her enthusiasm.]

I might. It depends entirely on the name you've chosen.

[He tilts his head slightly, considers it, then grins slightly.]

Perfect. You do have the most marvellous ideas sometimes.
rule_britannia: (Curious ☂ Hm?)

[personal profile] rule_britannia 2013-02-18 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes, my mistake.

[He shifts a bit against the nudge, then returns it, poking one bony elbow against her ribs.]

I suppose I can take him. Her. Did you actually check on the gender or do we need to wait?
rule_britannia: (Smile ☂ Kind)

What are you implying?

[Squint.]

Oh, never mind. I'm sure we can afford it some privacy for the moment. It'll be prodded at enough when it hatches. [He pauses and scratches the top of his jaw.] Let's just keep the human Sherlock away from it.

Did you see his question about whether or not it would be possible to get more snakes?

[His voice lowers to something of a conspiratorial tone.]

I suspect sociopathy, you know. He bears watching.
rule_britannia: (Quiet ☂ Thoughtful)

I don't think it's anything that can be helped. It'll sort itself out one way or another. He'll either be seen as a genius, or put in prison for the criminally insane.

[He pauses, thinking.]

... Yes, he's definitely worth keeping an eye on.
rule_britannia: (Smile ☂ Fond)

[personal profile] rule_britannia 2013-03-02 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Me? Goodness, no. I don't have the time to be following around after him.

[Arthur turns a half calculating look onto the snake egg.]

I'll leave that business to his friends. John seems level-headed enough.
rule_britannia: (Neutral ☂ Oh..?)

[personal profile] rule_britannia 2013-03-05 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Is he, now.. [He's trying to hide his curiosity, but it's definitely there.] Do you have a good story to go with that remark?
rule_britannia: (Laughter ☂ Chuckle)

[personal profile] rule_britannia 2013-03-07 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He lets out a soft snigger.]

I just knew there was a reason I liked you.

[Aside from the whole fellow-Conan-Doyle-fan thing. That helps a lot.]
