Please tell me that I'm not the only one that thinks the silver hair of a unicorn gathered under the full moon is a little much to pay for one's morning coffee?

...and as an aside, passionné, cafe satiné, and salon lustré will be closed until my staff stops insisting that Laszlo Jamf's glasses are the going rate for a trim. All staff will be paid a partial day's wages, assuming they don't actually find, what was it... ah, yes, the golden egg of a goose for their morning pastry.

What sort of curse is this, anyway?

"Floats my boat?" Is that supposed to be some kind of euphemism?

[thenormalsquint]

No, but tickle your pickle is.

[He's just going to laugh because it might be the most ridiculous phrase he's ever heard.]

[thenormalsquint]

[Well, it is a ridiculous phrase. Angela will admit that.]

Oh, go ahead and yuk it up. See if I ever tickle your pickle again.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I wasn't laughing at you, just... that phrase. Do people in your world actually talk like that?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Babe, I was joking. You really do need your coffee.

And yes, some of us to, but nobody actually takes its seriously. You guys don't have funny phrases in Panem?

[He knew that, really he did.]

Yes, but I've never heard one involving pickles. It's a very strange... mental image to have.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

It's a rhyming thing. Tickle, pickle. Float, boat. Though, like I said, pickle can be used as an euphemism.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I... understand that. I'm just amused.

[thenormalsquint]

Then my job here is done.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

You're awfully witty this morning.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Just wait until I actually get out of bed and get coffee in me. You won't know what to do with me.

[Yes, somebody is still under the blankets. What is this morning thing you speak of?]

audio;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I rarely do, darling, I rarely do.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

[She chuckles.]

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or backhanded commentary on my behavior.

audio;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I find it a delight that you constantly surprise me.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

How about you surprise me instead? Even the playing field a little.

audio;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

How do you know I'm not working on it?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Because you haven't given me any clues.

audio;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

You think I can't keep a secret?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Oh, I know you can. That was just my way of asking for clues without asking for clues.

audio;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

They're certainly wearable.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

[And she breaks into snickering.]

You make it so easy.

audio;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Only for you, darling.

[thenormalsquint]

Okay, enough ego stroking. I should put some clothes on before I get fired.
