[Why a stack of books doesn't make a good stepladder is demonstrated pretty well when the stack wobbles, Rita slips, and everything crashes to the floor. Several books go with her, and she mutters some choice words. Particularly when one falls right on her head.

Eventually, she sits up in the middle of yet another disaster in the study, clutching her head with a dazed expression that actually has nothing to do with this accident and quite a lot to do with a recent mistletoe curse. Her face goes a few shades of red, even as she berates herself; this is stupid, pointless, and she shouldn't care...right?]

Argh, what am I doing...? There's no way that's normal at all.

So what if I was? [As long as one of them's amused!]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Then you really brought it upon yourself. I hope you weren't expecting sympathy. [Remember, Rita: he's laughing with you!]

[blastiafreak]

Shut up! Who said I was? [She's not laughing! :<]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Me, of course. Didn't I just suggest that? [W-well... :| ]

[blastiafreak]

Well, you can forget it. [Now they can lineface together instead! :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to sympathize with you, Rita. Even I know better than to step on books. [Of course :| ]

[blastiafreak]

I wasn't asking for your sympathy, you know! [Hey, they're good at that. :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Maybe not mine. [Professionals, even~ :| ]

[blastiafreak]

Nobody's. [Masters of the technique~! :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Well. I've definitely learned not to try balancing on books. [No degree needed! :| ]

[blastiafreak]

Well, good for you. [It's all natural talent! :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[Smirking] You're crabbier than usual. [They really are geniuses! :| ]

[blastiafreak]

[And a crabby scowl in response!] You're imagining it. [This is why they're so compatible! :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Am I, now? I don't think so. [They may bicker, just a little! :| ]

[blastiafreak]

Fine! Think whatever you want. [A little~ It's just what couples do! :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

I already do. [They're practically married by now! :| ]

[blastiafreak]

Hmph. Obviously. [Yeah! They went straight to the grumpy later years....:|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Is there a particular reason you're so grumpy today? [Can we hope that it gets better from there? :| ]

[blastiafreak]

I'm not grumpy or anything. [No. No optimism allowed. :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

How about annoyed. [Maybe when they're not around each other~? :| ]

[blastiafreak]

Who cares if I am? [They can hope in secret! :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Everyone you speak to, obviously. [But not in front of each other, oh no~ :| ]

[blastiafreak]

Then that's their problem. [Never! It's like an unwritten rule~ :|]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

How considerate of you. [And they can never be happy if they break it! :| ]

[blastiafreak]

I wasn't trying to be considerate. [Can they ever be happy at all?! :|]
