[Closed]



Characters: Mushu and Temeraire with potential guest appearance by Toph!

Location: Death City Heights, Building 7, 1B

Rating: PG

Time: sometime before the big mission

Description: Who said domestic was boring?





There wasn't much to keeping house. At least none that Mushu had found yet. It was just making sure that nothing got lost and there was nothing on the floor for Toph to trip over. And nothing too high that might fall and squish certain handsome little guardians. Of course...cleaning up was the easy part.

Cooking. Now that was a little harder. Keeping a full grown dragon fed and sated was a pretty nice test of skill for Mushu. Especially since the stove's size kinda had him cooking in batches.

"Hey! Temmy-baby...I need ya ta find somethin'."

Missions were rather adventuresome, if he could say so himself. Except, that that sort of adventure carried a lot of risks.

Still, now he is talking about adventure that doesn't involve no battles.

"Adventure where one does not attack. Such as when we played that snowball game? Oh no, that was a sort of battle..."

Fun for him does not come easy. The funnest thing he does is read. Mushu should know, what with there being a good number of books around the apartment, even more in his own bedroom.

[travel_sized4u]

"No, man, y'all are on the right idea!" He covered the pot and wiped his hands on a towel before sitting on the counter and looking at Tem. "That may have been a battle, but it was fun. Crazy." Cause really? Cold snow? Why would anyone want to even touch the stuff.

"But fun. At least for you." He shrugged and hopped onto Tem's shoulder, "That's the kinda thing we gotta look for." A small pause before he grins, "And outside. Not in those old scrolls ya got lyin' around."

Toph shuffled into the kitchen and went straight to the fridge. She was craving a soda.

Of course, she happened to hear the bit about fun and kind of snickered.

"Tem, as much as I love you and your stories, Mushu's got a point," she said. Soda, soda, where was the...there! She grabbed the can and popped it open, shuffling back out. "Maybe you could do stunt flying!" From the living room (she was listening to an audio book on various martial arts), she added, "Just...not with me."

[shendefeng]

He knew that she didn't like to fly.

Much.

He understood the reason for that, however.

"Stunt flying?"

That was the first he'd heard of that term.

"I can understand why not whilst you are aboard." He looked over toward Mushu over at his shoulder.

"And I doubt you would like to come along and see. Usually it is a grand occasion when one does formation flying along with my wingmates for we fly together, break formation for a bit, regroup, backwing it, and practice how to best protect the lead dragon.

But stunts.... I never thought about that."

Would it prove to be 'fun,' though?

[travel_sized4u]

"Hey! Yeah that could work." He blinks when Tem. He remembers the last time he flew while stuck in this city.

"I'll go watch but I ain't to sure about bein' a passenger." He's only four hundred man! He can't fly yet.

"Yeah like uh...barrel rolls and high dives. That kinda thing, and you don't gotta worry about enemies or anything shootin' you down here."

[shendefeng]

That sounds more like more modern flight terminology, because they weren't used in his own time.

"I would not mind it if you are only to observe from somewhere nearby. But flying and making different sorts of tricks for the sake of being able to make those tricks seems..."

Somewhat fun.

"Mm. I think I should ponder on it a little more whilst I devise said aerial tactics."

Or at least, stay in the back burner until after they returned from the mission.

[travel_sized4u]

Don't ask where Mushu got them from. It is a mystery.

"That's the whole point man! No reason or anything 'cept enjoyin' to fly and maybe give a few scares if ya fly too close to the ground."

He grins, a michivious gling in his eyes. He umps back on the counter and wipes his claws on a wet towel before stirring the soup again.

"You go on an plan that all out. Meanwhile. Taste this." He hold out the spoon carefully.

[shendefeng]

He has already decided what he's going to do, and for when it shall be done. As for now, he'll focus on that bit of soup.

He sniffed at it a little with his forked tongue, before tasting what Mushu was offering him.

"I dare say you are quite the chef, Mushu. You always know how to blend things together to make a wonderful dish, and this is no exception."

He would almost have said it, but he decided against telling Mushu that perhaps a bit more spice from some chili might help him and his palate. However, he now also had to think about Toph and perhaps she doesn't take to it as well as he does.

[travel_sized4u]

Yeah let's not over spice the human girl. She might do something in retaliation. Like...well, Muchu will think of something. For now he's going to just grin at the compliment.

"Aw, y'all jus' sayin' that cause otherwise y'all don't eat." So, yeah he does appreciate the thanks.

"Sure it don't need nothin'?" He pokes at the pot with his finger before grabbing a different spoon to mix things up with.
