When he wanted to, Alexander could put his mind to a task and get it done. Such tasks today included picking up, cleaning and cooking. He actually had Nick help with the first two. The boy had to do something for his room and board beyond being his lover. Nick was his apprentice after all and that ment he got to do the things that Alexander wanted done, but not necessarily wanted to do himself.

At least there were no windows to be washed.

Cooking done and soup simmering, the table was set with almost matching silverware and plates. Everyone had a matching set, it just didn't match with anyone else's. Even the fire-lizards had a spot at the table, because he knew they were going to invite themselves.

When it got near the time that he thought that Melinda would be arriving he sent Nick to wash up and washed up himself. Though not at the same time as Nick. That would have been too distracting. He actually dressed nicely, out of his rangery leathers that he usually pranced about in. It was a gray tunic with a dark blue surcoat over it, silver phoenixes embroidered on the cuffs of the coat and around the collar. Nice pants and ankle boots finished that off. His hair was tied back, though strands of it still fell in his face despite all efforts.

All that was left was for Mel to show up.

Melinda simply arrives out of nowhere. Her hair is up in a bun, and she's wearing a nice blue dress. There's a pleasent smell around her, but it's hard to say what it is. She's wearing a necklace and a pair of sandles.

"I'm here." she says, smiling mischievously.

"Mel!" Alexander gives her a big smile and a big hug. "It's good to see you. You look nice."

She returns the hug, grinning. "Thank you. It's good to see you too."

"Nick is... still getting ready." He glanced over his shoulder towards the bedroom.

She peeks over his shoulder. "Eh. I can wait." a shrug.

Nick walks down a few minutes later, in a neat button-down shirt and a pair of pants. He pauses at the door to the room, looking rather nervously at Mel.

Alexander beckoned Nick over to his side, "Nick this is Mel. Mel this is Nicholas Sayre."

Nick walks over, smiles, and offers a hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mel."

Mel smiles and shakes his hand firmly. "A pleasure to meet you too, Nick."

"How are you this evening?" Nick was never good at making smalltalk, but he did learn the basics of it. So he can do some light chat.

Mel is horrible at small talk, and always has been. She understands where he's at.

"I'm fine. Alec's told me a good bit about you." she gives a sly look to the other man.

"...I hope they're good things." And he adds under his breath. "And not too terribly detailed."

See this? This is Alexander rolling his eyes. "Only good things," he reassured Nick.

"Good." Smiles, everyone!

"I'm starting to think you were nominated for sainthood in another life, actually." She smiles. She doesn't mean any harm- she's just teasing gently.

"Oh, no, hardly." He blushes. "I'm just normal, especially compared to Alexander."

No, he still can't keep that dreamy look off his face.

D'awwwww. No wonder Alec likes the boy. "Normal's not bad." She's trying hard not to tease him! Reeesiiiiiisssst. Alec told you not to tease the poor thing. Reeeessssiiiiisssst.

"Well, I suppose not. It can be quite pleasant." He smiles widely.

"Yeah, it is." She's starting to talk more because she's warming up. "Anyway, what do you do? I can't remember if Alec ever meantioned it."

"I was in university. I'm... well, not, at the moment. After that, I got possessed and he saved me." Another rendition of that dreamy look, coming u p.

"He's my apprentice now. I make him do all the hard work around here."

"Yes, that does sound like you." A grin. "I take it you got too tired of pulling a muscle when you reached for something, you old bastard?"

"Which means I do the cleaning. He's terribly messy."

"You are!" He looks faux-stern.

She snickers. "Lazy bastard. Give the poor boy a break, why don't you?"

Date: 2006-09-21 04:09 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] accidental-evil.livejournal.com
"Yes. I deserve a break." He nods firmly.

"...more of a break, anyways." And that's a grin.

Stop plotting on stealing him. Alec would not approve. "I agree. Alec, do some work for him. If you wear him out too soon, he won't be able to do more work."

"Listen to your sister, Alexander." Nodnod.

"Dinner? Yes? Dinner is good." He gestures to the kitchen. He doesn't have a dinning room so they're eating in the kitchen.

"Dinner is good!" Hurray for kitchens.

"I agree." She smiles widely. Is your face supposed to hurt from smiling so much?

Date: 2006-09-21 04:19 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] accidental-evil.livejournal.com
If you haven't smiled much recently. But Nick is all smiley too.

"Well, then. Dinner."

The kitchen table is set nicely... if with unmatching silverware. It's a round table so they don't have to worry about who's going to sit at the head of the table. "Sit, sit." Alexander says as he goes to the stove to retrieve the soup.

He ladles out soup -vegetable- for everyone.

Nick takes a seat quickly.

There is a kiss for Nick's head as Alexander goes by with the soup.

Date: 2006-09-23 02:36 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] accidental-evil.livejournal.com
Nick smiles at him widely.

He obeys and eats.

Mel sitsits, and peers around the kitchen. She takes the soup, and takes a sip. Mmmm.

"Your cooking's improved." she says to Alec.

((mun has to sleep. I'll try to post again as soon as I can.))

The kitchen has a semblence of cleanliness. Yet there is a pile of dishes in the sink. Didn't he just wash them? Ah well.

"I've learned how to cook and it's taken me less time than it took you."

"Oh, don't gloat." she says, rolling her eyes.

He grins at her and sits at his seat to eat.
