25 Unicorn Street, Tuesday Evening

[on_her_korhal]

Her fridge had been stocked up well enough, but Kerrigan had still found herself chowing back noodles more often than not over the past few days. Cooking just wasn't her strong suit, and she lacked the inclination to learn.

Christmas Eve had passed by unnoticed.

She was in the living room, running system checks on her armor and fiddling with the wires.

[ open to anyone who'd come bug kerrigan on christmas day; early due to sp later yay ]

"I'd hope so," Kerrigan smiled back at her, pulling open the fridge. She glanced at the contents. "...Okay," she said. "Go wild."

River tilted her head, looking at Kerrigan. "You start," she said.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Um..." She took some cheese out of the fridge, offering it to River.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Good start." River rose from her chair and peered into the fridge, picking a jar of mustard. She placed that and the cheese on the worktop, then looked at Kerrigan. "Next."

Kerrigan had to bow down a little to get to the part of the fridge she was angling for. "...Bacon?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River nodded, then added a bag of potatoes. "This is a good start. Vegetables needed though."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Um..." she said again, trying to think, "...I've got..." More rummaging. "... A cucumber?"

River smiled and gave another nod. She found and oven dish, and began to neatly arrange the ingredients in a pattern, and finally placed the dish in the oven and turned on the heat. "Coffee while we wait?" she asked, sitting down again.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Sure."

She wasn't, in fact, sure about this particular food experiment, but it was food, and she wasn't one to question it.

Instead, Kerrigan pottered down to the coffee maker. Coffee was always good.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Coffee was always good, River agreed, and she cheerfully accepted a cup. "Who else did you get presents?" she asked, then took a sip of the coffee.

[Sorry for extreme SP! Christmas!]

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Nobody, really." She got her own coffee. "Probably should've, but I'm not much of a shopper."

[ SP is always made of love zomg ]

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River gave a nod, thinking that shopping would probably give Kerrigan a headache. "Me neither," she said. "I got Adah one though."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

It did. Kerrigan made this quite mentally clear. "What'd you get her?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Necklace with a pendant in the shape of a brain," River said. She hoped it would be appreciated, but one never knew with Adah.

"Hope she likes it," Kerrigan offered, sipping her coffee again. This was really not her area. "You having a good Christmas so far?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Yes," River replied. "It's a Fandom Christmas." She smiled, but there was a hint of sadness. "You?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Not much different from any other week," she replied, loosely. It wasn't anything she wasn't used to.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Less people and more decorations," River said, taking another sip of her coffee.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"There's that," Kerrigan allowed, shooting River a mildly self-depreciating grin. "Probably better food, too."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Nodding, River looked at the oven. "Ready now," she said.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Let's see if it's edible," Kerrigan posited, smiling at River.

Hey, she was a soldier. Edible was all she cared about. She moved to switch off the oven.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Contains most vitamins and minerals needed, as well as protein," River replied, letting Kerrigan get the dish out of the oven.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"If you say so," she replied, dragging out the dish with improvised oven mitts. Kerrigan moved out of the kitchen, into the hallway and then into the living room.

She still didn't have a table.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River made no comment on the lack of a table, not even a small mental one. Instead she sat down crosslegged on the floor, looking up at Kerrigan expectantly.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan put the dish down on the floor. So what if it burned through the carpet? She could get another carpet.

That's why she had Roy, really.

"Let's hope it digests," she said, smirking a little, before flopping down on the floor opposite River.
