WHO: Thor, John and possible the people crushing on them?
TONE: Fatherly bonding
RATING: G
WHEN: The 10th
WHERE: The Courtyard
WHAT: John and Thor take their egg for a walk
STATUS: Ongoing

[It's been a few days since John and Egbert joined together for their journey into snake fatherhood, and things are going surprisingly well. It's amazing that Thor hasn't managed to break it by now, but the two of them somehow managed to dodge that bullet. It's been an interesting few days filled with debates about names and snake dietary needs, Thor has become incredibly attached to the thing.

Thor, concerned that their egg baby has become stifled in the castle (and also restless and hoping to get outside) has suggested the benefits of fresh air and sunshine for their egg baby. They want it to be healthy, after all! A walk will do wonders for the bouncing baby egg.

It's currently wrapped in a Gryffindor scarf and seated in Thor's lap as he sits cross legged. He's currently recounting the events of the most recent quidditch match with his personal opinions over lapping. Loudly.]

Comments

[preanimator]

Really? [Herbert can't keep the eagerness out of his voice, and he just lights up at the suggestion.] All right! Um, where would you like to go?

[brothor]

Certainly! We may watch the egg hatch as we do. [He shifts it in his hands as he considers the question.]

Perhaps if we were to go to the great hall we could eat as we study? [Because secretly he's hungry.]

[preanimator]

Wherever you want. [so not in the mood for eating, but who cares? Going somewhere to eat with someone is almost like a date, right? A study date?] I can use a spell to block out the noise if it gets too distracting.

[brothor]

You are too kind! [He's just going to sling his arm over Herbert's shoulders because they're best friends now, right?]

I am sure we will be able to handle whatever is thrown our way!

[preanimator]

[Herbert blinks, and then melts a little into Thor, looking up at him with a shy smile.] Yeah ... uh, definitely. Yes.

[brothor]

[The melting isn't lost on Thor, he just had no idea Herbert was so naturally affectionate. He won't hold it against him, though, he is a man who appreciates a good hug.]

I am glad that we are friends now. [He announces, sort of abruptly too, but it makes sense to him.]

[preanimator]

Yes, um, it's nice. I don't really have very many.

[brothor]

To be perfectly honest, I had assumed you hated me something fierce until we talked today. Perhaps there is something in your manner that is making others feel the same?

I suggest smiling more! You look most friendly and approachable when you do.

[preanimator]

I don't ... have a very good smile. [glancing down] And I don't really want to be approached by everyone, even if that would happen.

[brothor]

That is a lie! Your smile is perfectly adequate! [He gives him a small shove.] You sound like Stark when you say that.
