Small animals make everything more fun...right?

He'd been polite and had even used that knocking-spell Orlen had set up on her place to get permission before teleporting in. He didn't really see the point of it really, but if that was what people wanted...alright then.

Currently he was set up on her living room floor, sitting there and showing off new minor spells he'd been practicing. As if the poor archer's place didn't have enough magic in it, here he was infusing extra in the air. "May I have something to drink please?" Magic was thirsty work and one did not manage to make her books dance to The Black Keys without needing a refreshment. Disney had it right, musicals were best with normally inanimate objects.

He certainly didn't look very happy, and sat there sulking as he put up with the petting. Yes it was hard to be Martin! Look at him! He was a bunny! Hmph. Some people...

There was a something akin to a slight squeak as he was taken be surprise and popped out of the pocket. A little scrambling to get on his feet properly, before he shuffled around to twitch an ear at her and both convey annoyance and a thank you for getting him out of there. This did not mean her cue ball would be safe for long though.

She smirked at him once he scrambled out of the way and the cue ball was freed from the pocket. With a finger, she rolled the ball this way and that on the green felt between her and the grumpy fluff. "So, as fun as this is, ball-napper, how are we supposed to fix it when the primary magic-user is occupied? As cute as you are, I don't want to explain to your peers why there's a top hat blindly scootling towards Martin's room."

Martin scratched his ear as he thought. The spell should wear off he figured, but how could he help that along? Hmm...

Speaking of...where was his hat? The bunny's head whipped around to look for it and he turned back to Frances, twitching his ears and trying to scratch his head more to try and indicate 'hat!'. It was a little difficult though. Though as he did so, tiny wisps of blue smoke began coming off the bunny. Good! It meant it was wearing off.

Now...to get the archer to understand his bunny sign language. Hat!

	Whatever could he be indicating, thing on top on of his head that wasn't there at the moment? She rolled her eyes dramatically and headed back to the kitchen. "Alright, alright, you can have your hat. See? I didn't do anything to it," she pointed out and put it on the felt next to him. "It's not your size, you know. Not even those ears will prop it up."

Great, bunny sign language was understood! One hurdle down!

He twitched his nose at her in response and scurried over to his hat, sniffing it and running around it to be sure it was still fine. More blue smoke came off him and he nuzzled his fur against the hat, almost trying to rub off the smoke with the hat. Well he wanted to get rid of the excess magic fast, and his lucky magic hat was actually magic and served not just as storage but to help him catch and absorb any accidental sparks of magic that his gloves let out here and there.

There was a good minute of the tiny bunny scurrying around his hat and rubbing against it until there was a good cloud of blue smoke around him. Then, just as it looked like he was going to go around again, there was a resounding BANG and the young mage popped up mid-air just above the edge of the pool table, and landed on it, slipping off and hitting the floor with a very loud thud.

"...ow."

Looks like she guessed right, the way he paced around it to check for damage or something. She noticed the smoke and self-preservation told her to back up a few feet, because that wasn't good. Squinting suspiciously at the Rub-on-the-Hat dance, she was about to ask what he was doing when -BANG- and she jumped for the couch.

"Martin?" she asked around a couch-arm, looking at a pile of human legs sticking out from behind the table's. "You dead?"

	"...." Was the only answer at first, he was feeling a bit put out and embarrassed. And that fall had hurt. He was not a rough and tumble fighter by any means. "...dead or astral shouldn't hurt..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Getting up from her hiding spot, Frances cautiously walked around the furniture to check out her little mage. In retrospect, probably should have put him on the floor first. She hid a smile and just frowned at him in concern as he sat on the floor. "Martin, do you think the ears will tuck up into the hat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-06-19 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Still sprawled out on the floor, his legs half up and on the pool table, Martin turned his head and squinted at her. "Wha-" Then his eyes grew wide as the realization hit. Oh shoot! In blind panic his gloved hands came up to clamp onto the sides his head to frantically check. No bunny ears. He frowned and pouted at her. "...Not funny." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-06-19 12:09 am UTC (link)
	She laughed and leaned on the table, smirking at him. Shrugging lightly, she didn't seem too distraught about her prank. "You made me an owl and then had me bunny-sit a very sassy little Flopsy. It was adequate payback." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-06-19 12:21 am UTC (link)
	He sat up and pouted at her as he rubbed the back of his head and checked for bruises and bumps. Ow. He didn't like this falling business, why did the superheroes seem to do it so much? Putting on a dignified face, he huffed. "Well I turned you back and fixed you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-06-19 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes you did. And then stole my lunch snack," she teased and crouched on the floor to look at him eye to eye. "You sure you okay? I don't want think that you are going to whiplash back to a bunny in an hour." She waved her finger slowly in front of his face to check his eye would follow smoothly.

	magic_hands 2013-06-19 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "It doesn't work that way, I won't turn back to a bunny unless I try." Which he was not going to be trying anytime soon. Though he was feeling a bit banged up from the fall. Martin's eyes followed the finger accusingly. "What's that for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-06-19 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Says you. Sometimes magic does squirrelly things," she countered. She laughed at his suspicious look and pulled back. "You hit your head, in the back, right? Medics do that to see if you hurt the brain area involving vision. Your pupils go weird and your eyes shake if there's trouble." She shrugged and added, "Mundane-wise, you're okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-06-19 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	"It's only squirrelly because you don't know how it works," he smiled, slightly smugly, and teased her. "That sounds like someone being possessed." He stretched out his shoulders a bit, frowning at the soreness. "Hey, can we watch those lord of the ring movies now? I think we did the adventure part, and the rooms need to air out the magic."

	"Sounds like a plan," she agreed with a fond sigh. "I'm all magicked out, myself. I'll make some popcorn and we can take over the rec room." She stood up and grinned, brushing off her legs from the crouch. "What do you think, cinnamon-sugar or paprika on the popcorn? " (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-06-19 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	"But you don't have any magic to begin with!" Martin got to his feet, a little shaky but still on them, and wrinkles his nose at her. "White cheddar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-06-21 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	She, nobly and maturely, doesn't point out the fact they are having this conversation is because his magic had a hiccup. Instead, she just smirks and nods with the food order. "Aright white cheddar for you. Hopefully you all have a vending machine around because Reeses Pieces were made for hot popcorn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-06-21 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	His hat floats from the pool table to land itself on his head where it belongs. "I think we have Reeses Pieces. We have a lot of food, but not much stuff for cooking. Most of us can't cook," he explains. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-06-23 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	She shakes her head and sighs. "Cooking is one of those skills you kinda need, but oh well. Sometimes you just can't. Still, you wanna set up the movie while I get the popcorn or you'd rather I poke the electronics, Pip?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

One of his discs appears under him and he sits on it, legs dangling over the side, as it rises a bit so they're eye level. "Well Anya blew up the kitchen last time she tried. So she doesn't know how to cook." He sounded incredibly put out by that, entirely because he hadn't been witness to the kitchen destruction. "Jack doesn't seem to know anything, Manny has hand issues too...I don't know about the others, I haven't seen them cook either though." Another moment of thought, considering what'd be more risky, the buttons on the entertainment stuff or the microwave. "I can do the popcorn, I think. I don't know how all the TV stuff is set up..."

She grimaced painfully at the list People Who Can't Cook, regardless of the pyrotechnics of the kitchen disasters. "It's a miracle you all don't starve or have scurvy." With a sigh, she rubbed her neck and waited for him to decide on which task was his. "Neither do I," she pointed out cheerfully, but let him have popcorn duty as she turned for the big screen. "Remember, if there's no popping for more than five counts, pull the bag out so there's no scorching. And, Reeses Pieces for me, cheddar for you."

"We have take out!" His disc zoomed him off to the kitchen as he called back, "Got it!" Getting buttons pushed on microwaves was a far less dangerous task than all those TV ones, in his opinion at least. He manages that part, even carefully counting out the five counts so the popcorn didn't burn. By the time his usual blue teleporting flame pops up in the living room, he's gotten the instructions down (with some difficulty but manageable in the end), cheddar flavouring on his popcorn and Reeses Pieces with Frances'. "I made it myself," he grinned proudly.

She leaned over to give the bowls of popcorn cursory sniffs and nodded proudly. "Well done, Pip, they look great," she praised and gestured to the screen which a) on and b) showing the main page of the DVDs. "I was able to figure out the TV without accidentally breaking something, so win win." France headed out to grab two glasses of water, one with a straw. Plopping on one couch comfortably, she left him the others before starting the movie, "Get comfy, we'll be here a while."

He beamed at the approval and hopped onto the main couch, but keeping to one end so she had the other one. He was supposed to be getting used to crowds and being around people, usually he'd get the armchair off to the side, it gave him the most space between him and anyone else. But he figured same couch was a good improvement. When she returned with water (the one with the straw got her a very thankful smile) he floated her bowl of popcorn over to her and got comfortable in his corner. "Okay, but are they really that long? And I want to see the magic in the movie!"
