Monday Night at Nell and Gladio's

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was making hot honey glazed chicken for dinner and had made rice with honey and ginger mixed in with the stock. There was fresh-made cornbread with honey to put on it and an apple and honey tart for dessert.

Once everything was set she took a little time for herself and went up to soak in the hot tub. The kittens were always a bit disgruntled that she had immersed herself in the water thing again, but they were happy enough to curl up on the outdoor cat tower that was nearby so they could watch her.

"I don't know," Nell mused, looking at her finger tips. "My nails aren't very long. I'm sure I could bite though. If you wanted me to..."

"Not about whether I'd want you to," Gladio pointed out, "though I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to get a good bite off of this juicy slab of beef."

Okay, even he couldn't say that without laughing, and then started to move the cats to set them back down.

"Alrgiht, you two," he said, "time to put this hunk of meat into the stew."

"I do nibble on occasion," Nell said thpughtfully. "And I like it when you nibble. So... perhaps."

She smiled as he set the cats down so he could join her. "We have some time still before dinner's ready."

"And you know," that grin wasn't going anywhere, nor should anyone expect it to!, "with an appetite like mine, even a nibbles still a pretty big bite!"

Nudging that cat's attempts to persuade him to lift them back up again away with his toe, Gladio finally managed to climb into the tub, settling in next to Nell easily and comfortably, arm draped over the side around her, with a grateful sigh. He just closed his eyes for a moment to appreciate it all before adding, "Speaking of which, whatever you've got going on down there already smells amazing. And I hope you're in the mood for root beer because I got a whole big jug of it."

Or, well, he thought he did, anyway.

Nell laughed. "Nibble away!"

She happily snuggled into him when he got into the hot tub and let her head rest against him. "I'm glad you like it," she said. "Lots of honey stuff and all with our own honey! AN I think rootbeer would go along with that just fine."

Poor disappointed Gladio!
