Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow
Cait had just cleared the snow off the front porch for the fifth time in the past two hours. Huge flakes of snow were falling to the ground and the snow on the ground was quickly piling up. There had to be a good foot of snow out there already and the storm didn't show any signs of letting up. Not that Cait was complaining. She loved the snow. The other residents of the mansion not so much.

The only thing she didn't like about this blizzard is that she was supposed to go into the city with Vlad tonight and dammit she wanted to go. She wanted it to stop now so they could into the city later.

Seriously, he had to have some streak of bad luck going. Okay, fine, he would joke about having bad luck but still, this wasn't fair. He'd had plans for things in the city and it looked like that wasn't going to happen today. Even worse was that the blizzard was bad enough to discourage them from going outside and doing something else. Maybe at least they could go skating later in the week or something.

"Still hasn't let up?"

	"Not even close to letting up," she said as she stomped snow off of her feet. Normally she would use her powers, but she had been using them a lot in the past two hours and she was tired. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Damn," he sighed in defeat. It looked like they were stuck inside. Well, there had to be some silver lining. "C'mon, let's head inside. Hot chocolate and those muffins that are fist-fighting worthy," he smiles and offers his hand. "-Wait, I take back that last bit. Those were too good to last, so if we want muffins we'll need to make them. Hot chocolate at least?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled and kicked off her boots. She put her hand in his and gave his a squeeze. "Hot chocolate sounds wonderful and I can whip up another batch of muffins. Or cookies if you prefer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled and squeezed her hand back before they head towards the kitchen. "Should I pretend not to have already been recruited to the dark side so I can can get cookies?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	Cait chuckled. "You can certainly have cookies. What kind would you like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Any you want to make. I've got expert experience as a taste tester but I also dabble in hot chocolate making and minioning. I think the last two might be useful here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 03:08 pm UTC (link)
	"They certainly will be useful," she said. "You can make hot chocolate and fetch things for me while I work on the cookies. Chocolate chip sound good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds perfect," he smiled and saluted playfully. "At your service, I'm yours to command." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	Cait laughed. "Silly man." She rose to her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. By now they've reached the kitchen. "Okay. Start the hot chocolate and I'll start collecting ingredients for the cookies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-10-30 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	That has him grin. "Only slightly..." "Will do. What kind of marshmallow setting do you prefer? Minimal, pyramid on top, or taking up a third of the cup? Notice there is no option of zero marshmallows." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	"A layer on top," she said. "Not too many, but just enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-10-30 04:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Goldilocks style, got it," he nodded and went about finding the marshmallows and mix. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As long as I don't run into the three bears," Cait smirked. She grabbed a mixing bowl from a cabinet and then went to hunt flour, sugar and brown sugar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vlad laughs. "How do you know I'm not one? Well, other than the fact I don't like porridge of course..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Are you a Russian bear in disguise?" Cait teased. She grabbed the sugar, flour and brown sugar from a cabinet. Then went to another cabinet for some more ingredients. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mожет быть," he smirks. "Of course I'm going to have to be convinced to let you free..." He puts the water to boil in the meantime which frees him up for now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I have no idea what you just said," Cait laughed. "Will cookies be convincing enough...if of course if I want to get away?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-10-30 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Hmm..." He taps his chin and pretends to consider this. "But if I don't let you go I get the cookies and you to myself. So...I'm voting for the you staying option." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	Cait laughed. "You are a silly man, but smart. You don't have to worry about getting cookies. The first ones out of the oven are yours. As for me, I'm not going anywhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-10-30 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	"I have my moments," he grinned. "That sounds good. About the cookies too of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course," Cait said. Pink touched her cheeks. "I need two eggs from the fridge, please. Along with the bag of chocolate chips in the cabinet over the fridge." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-10-30 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Coming right up!" He reaches up to get the bag and then rummages through the fridge for the eggs. "So, got an idea for your Halloween costume?" He asks while he puts everything down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-30 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I really haven't thought about a Halloween costume," she admitted. "What have you decided on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-10-30 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Nothing really. I thought I might do a pirate. And okay fine...I have been using that program too much but in my defense it's fun! I could probably do a mean zombie too if I wanted but I haven't decided yet," he shrugs while snagging a few chocolate chips. "You really have no ideas?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
